The USS Origin was a Federation starship operated by Starfleet during the 23rd century.

On stardate 2314, the Origin saved the Lynd species from extinction via non-consensual relocation. This incident established a legal precedent that amended Book 12, Section 2386, Subsection 89 of the Starfleet Command General Orders and Regulations, in that Starfleet officers were permitted to "contradict alien morality" when engaging with non-ally species if the race in question was in "mortal danger."

In 3195, Cadet Caleb Mir cited the Origin during a formal debate against Jay-Den Kraag, arguing that the Federation had an obligation to enforce asylum on the Klingon diaspora. (SA: "Vox In Excelso")
