Later that year, Lieutenant Commander Data used the Onizuka to land on the planet Tau Cygna V and investigate the presence of a Human colony there, as the planet's atmosphere interfered with transporters. ()
Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge flew the Onizuka to Risa in late 2367. En route, he was taken captive by a Romulan warbird and brainwashed to participate in a plan to assassinate Klingon governor Vagh. A double of La Forge continued to Risa, and the real La Forge was returned to the Onizuka for return to the Enterprise. Although the Romulans erased all information about the encounter from the Onizukas computers, Commander Data found evidence which indicated the memory wipe as well as hull microfractures caused by stress from the Romulan tractor beam.

The Onizuka was seen parked next to the shuttlecraft Magellan in 2368. ()
