The USS Buran was a Federation starship that fought the Borg at the Battle of Wolf 359 in 2367. It was destroyed, along with 38 other starships. (TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II").
Background
According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia, this vessel was a Challenger-class starship with the registration number NCC-57580.
The name Buran, which means "snowstorm" in Russian, descends from the Soviet Union's 11F35 K1 Buran (Бура́н) shuttle; the only orbiter completed flew a single unmanned mission in 1988 before the program was canceled due to lack of funding.
Shots of the Buran were reused in the ship graveyard at Surplus Depot Z15 in "Unification I" (TNG).
