Background Information
- Novelization of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan by Vonda N. McIntyre.

Characters
McCoy.

- Although Sulu wore commander insignia in the movie, the novel portrays him as (possibly figuratively) wearing an "extra braid" indicating his recent captaincy.

- Starfleet captain in command of Reliant
- Peter Preston
- Starfleet engineering midshipman. Preston is only 14 years old at the time of his training cruise.

References
- USS Andromeda
- Federation starship, a so-called "Galaxy" class explorer.
- USS Excelsior (NX-2000)
- Experimental Federation starship prototype.
- "Galaxy" class
- This is not a starship class in the traditional sense, as this was a series of ships designated for the purpose of leaving the galaxy.
- There didn't seem to be a class ship named USS Galaxy at this point. Each ship was named after the galaxy they were investigating. It wasn't revealed if these ships were simply taking scans of the galaxies and then returning, or if they actually were headed towards them. The latter would seem to be ruled out by TNG, where warp speeds still couldn't propel us to other galaxies in less than a few generations -- unless these ships were meant to be generational vessels.
- USS Reliant (NCC-1864)
- The novel contains the description of Reliant used in the script, describing it as an older starship
- USS M-31
- Federation starship, a "Galaxy" class explorer.
- USS Magellanic Clouds
- Captain Mandala Flynn's starship, a "Galaxy" class explorer. This vessel was slated for a long term extragalactic probe.
- In the novel "Dreadnought!", Flynn was mentioned as captain of USS Magellan, and Magellanic Clouds is later referred to as Magellan in the "Search for Spock" novelization.
