The USS Chawla (NCC-82807) was a Federation Sagan-class starship that was in service to Starfleet in the early 25th century.
In 2401, the Chawla participated in Frontier Day celebrations near Sol Station. Along with the rest of the fleet, it was seized by the Borg Collective after its younger crew were assimilated by a Borg signal transmitted via Jack Crusher. (PIC: "Vox")

This ship was presumably named for American astronaut Kalpana Chawla, who died in the space shuttle Columbia disaster.
