S.S. Dierdre

	History:
	Freighter spacecraft. The Dierdre supposedly sent a distress call to the Starship Enterprise on stardate 3497. The signal was a hoax sent by a Klingon vessel, the second Klingon attempt to prevent the Enterprise from returning to planet Capella IV. Upon receipt of the fraudulent message, Chief Engineer Scott succinctly commented, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." TOS "Friday's Child" ; Star Trek Encyclopedia II
