Service History
- 2372-2374
- Originally the vessel was named the USS Tribune with the registry number of NCC-36591 while in the service of Starfleet Command. When Solas Tempus purchased the vessel it had been heavily damaged in an encounter with the Dominion during the war and was pending a decision to refit or scrap the vessel. Originally built in 2372 the vessel was primarily a scout ship during the Dominion war before it was damaged attempting to survey potential targets in Cardassian space in 2374. The vessel was able to limp back into Federation space but was deemed to be a near total loss with significant damage to its underly space frame crippling its Warp capabilities.
- 2380
- Starfleet Command agrees that Solas Tempus can choose 15 vessels with significant damage to use for refit or scraped for parts from the Proxima Maintenance Yard.
- 2381
- Solas Tempus sends a convoy to ready the Tribune and 14 other damaged vessels for towing back to the Ronin Shipyards.
- 2384
- Extensive repair and refit of the Tribune complete, vessel is re-christened the Stellar Horizon. Under orders of Fleet Admiral Lance Thomas the vessel undergoes further specialized refits during the first half of the same year, as part of Project Stellar Horizon. The vessel is then towed to Umbral Shipyards to complete its inspection and testing prior to its launch.
