The Kobayashi Maru was a Class-III neutronic fuel carrier and a component of the Kobayashi Maru simulation, a no-win-scenario at the Starfleet Academy.
The home port of the vessel was Amber, Tau Ceti IV. The ship's master was Kojiro Vance.
According to the scenario, the Kobayashi Maru was located in Gamma Hydra, Section Ten, nineteen periods out of Altair VI. The vessel had struck a gravitic mine, and its hull was breached. The ship had lost all power, life support was failing and its crew had sustained many casualties. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)
Background
The Kobayashi Maru may or may not have been a real ship in the Star Trek universe; it could have just been invented for the Academy scenario, or it might have been based on a real incident or real ship.
Kobayashi Maru is a rather typical Japanese name for a ship. It was never made clear who or where the original Kobayashi was.
The Kobayashi Maru is also the title of a novel (written by Julia Ecklar) detailing the Kobayashi Maru tests taken by Kirk, Chekov, Scotty and Sulu during their respective enrollments at Starfleet Academy. In David Mack's novel A Time to Heal, Ensign Carmona identifies the actual Kobayashi Maru as having been lost in the Tezel-Oroko system, the location of the planet Tezwa, where most of this book occurs, just before he is killed in a massive explosion.
