The USS Apache (NCC-57924) was an Excelsior-class Federation starship in service during the 24th century. The Apache was a heavy participant in the Dominion War as part of the 777th Tactical Wing, Starfleet Eighth Fleet, spending the first two-thirds of the war defending Andoria and later often fought along the front lines. During the early part of 2374, the Apache was commanded by Captain Genevieve Marceau. (LUG RPG: The Dominion War Sourcebook: The Fires of Armageddon) Presumably named for the Native American tribe, Apache of Earth.
