USS Rabin

The USS Rabin (NCC-63293) was an Akira-class Federation starship in service to Starfleet during the early 25th century.

In 2401, the Rabin joined a Starfleet armada assembled to confront the massive Singularity that emerged from a spatial anomaly. The ship was briefly compromised when the Borg Queen began assimilating the USS Stargazer and obtained its command codes. After an understanding was reached with the Queen, the Rabin joined the Borg in a coordinated effort to deflect a massive energy burst from a newly forming transwarp conduit.

Later that year, the Rabin participated in Frontier Day celebrations near Sol Station. Along with the rest of the fleet, it was seized by the Borg Collective after its younger crew were assimilated by a Borg signal transmitted via Jack Crusher. (PIC: "Vox")

The name and registry of this ship were approved for Star Trek: First Contact as a back-up for the USS Thunderchild, though they were ultimately not used in the film. The ship scale sheet showing the back-up names and registries can be found on John Eaves' blog.
The ship's first on-screen appearance in "The Star Gazer" was confirmed by Dave Blass. [1](X)
The ship was presumably named after Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin.
