NCIA-93
NCIA-93 was a Federation  starship assigned to the intelligence division Section 31 in the 2250s. This ship's commanding officer was Leland.

In 2257, after Section 31 agent  extracted  and the child of Chancellor of the Klingon High Council L'Rell from Qo'noS, the ship was used to deliver the child to the monastery on the planet Boreth. ()

Later that year, this ship assisted the  from slipping into and being destroyed by the mycelial network. Afterward, an agreement was reached between Captain Christopher Pike of the Discovery and Leland on this ship, wherein they agreed to cooperate on the search for Lieutenant Spock and to solve the mystery of the red signals.

After Michael Burnham found Spock on , she rendezvoused with NCIA-93. The two later escaped, with assistance from , and made their way to Talos IV. NCIA-93 eventually caught up to Discovery in orbit of Talos IV, where they got into a standoff over who would transport Burnham and Spock aboard. Although NCIA-93 apparently succeeded, they were actually fooled by an illusion that the Talosians generated for Burnham and Spock, allowing the two to escape aboard a shuttle to Discovery instead and get away. ().

Soon after, NCIA-93 and Discovery headed to Essof IV on a mission to capture the Red Angel. Following an altercation on the surface between Georgiou and Leland (under the influence of Control), NCIA-93 warped away before Discovery could stop it after beaming Leland onboard moments before the Discovery could destroy the facility. Having been onboard himself at the time, Tyler managed to flee aboard an escape pod and he was picked up by Discovery. ()
