This vessel was to be named for Alnilam, a bright star of the Orion constellation. Construction of Alnilam was authorized by the Starfleet appropriation of stardate 5930. (TOS reference: Star Fleet Technical Manual) The stardate given would seem to suggest this ship was ordered during the TAS era. It is not even known if this vessel was built, only that it was authorized.
