USS Buran (Columbia class)

USS Buran was a Federation starship, a vessel in service to the UESPA branch of Starfleet in the 2160s decade. Alongside the USS Shenlong, Buran was among the first two starships built to Columbia-class specifications from scratch.

History and specifications
Buran was constructed under the supervision of Admiral Alexis Osman of the Alpha Centauri Space Research Council, and Captain W. M. Jefferies of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers as part of a new wave of Columbia-class starships.

With Buran and Shenlong active by July 8, 2165, USS Endeavour (NCC-06) was not the sole Columbia-class ship in service anymore.
