The USS Mukaikubo (NCC-72036) was a Federation Galaxy-class explorer starship in service to Starfleet in the 24th century. In the early 2370s, the Mukaikubo was commanded by Captain Regitz. In 2371, the Mukaikubo was stationed at Starbase 1, but was later sent to Starbase Deep Space 9 to help against the Furies. During the battle, the Mukaikubo was attacked and gutted out by the Unclean, and was then used as a storage facility for the engine cores by the Unclean. The Unclean were going to use the Mukaikubo as a bomb against the wormhole, but DS9 personnel managed to stop the ship. (DS9 - Invasion! novel: Time's Enemy)
