Star Trek Picard: Every Easter Egg & Hidden Reference From 'Broken Pieces'

Rios also has a case with an outline of the USS ibn Majid NCC-75710 stenciled on it. This is actually the first appearance of a Federation starship (notwithstanding the tugs seen in "Maps and Legends") in Star Trek: Picard. The outline of the ibn Majid bears a passing resemblance to that of the USS Emmett Till, which was created by John Eaves for the 2019 Star Trek: Deep Space Nine documentary "What We Left Behind".

According Michael Chabon's Instagram, the USS ibn Majid is a Curiosity-class starship, possibly named after the Curiosity rover on Mars (in real life, not in Star Trek life).

The ship itself is likely named for Ahmad ibn Mājid, an Arabian explorer, who... well you know how to work Wikipedia.
