The USS Planck (NCC-81894) was a Federation Merian class starship serving in Starfleet in the late 24th century. Launched in 2377, the Planck had a crew of 70. The ship's dedication plaque quotation was from Helen Keller: “No pessimist discovered the secrets of the stars or sailed to an uncharted land or opened a new heaven to the human spirit”.

In 2377, the Planck‘s commanding officer was Captain Campell. During the Planck‘s shakedown cruise, Ensign Jovela was undergoing her cadet cruise. On what was supposed to be an easy shakedown voyage to M-Class planet Niburu for the purpose of updated scans on the indigenous primitively pre-warp humanoid inhabitants, Captain Campbell and the crew of the Planck instead arrived to discover that a small party of Ferengi traders had crash landed and were fleeing the angry Niburans under peril of death. A swift, effectual rescue mission beamed the frightened Ferengi aboard and a strategic phaser shot from orbit deftly destroyed any traces of their vessel after which Nurse Jovela had played what she deemed but a small part by bandaging the messy lacerations and puncture wounds of some very rudely mannered patients. The rescued Ferengi turned out to be relations of Ferenginar’s Grand Nagus.
