Template:Nova Class She was built originally as an exploration vessel, designed to do research very near super-massive stellar objects such as Pulsars, Neutron Stars, and Black Holes. Her space frame is thus enhanced with nearly twice as many structural integrity field generators and inertial dampeners. Her shield systems are also tied directly into the EPS grid allowing the system to draw significantly more power at sub-light speeds. In addition, her sensor pallets are enhanced to provide superior resolution for gravitational, subspace, spacial, and temporal anomalies.
Service History
- Commissioned in 2370 for experimental construction
- Completed in 2375 and slated to be put into service that same year
- Contracted as a research vessel in 2376 for Solas Tempus under the terms of the Temporal Reconciliations
- Used as a research vessel studying temporal anomalies near quantum singularities and binary star systems starting in 2376
- Refit for Temporal Operations in 2378 (See Refit Guidelines) in preparation for Kappa Protocol
- Under the Kappa Protocol, delivered to the Schatten Star System in secret in 2379
- Assigned to Admiral Lance Thomas under general orders of Kappa Protocol 2381
