The Tempest Dawn was construction in August of 2385 and served as a recon vessel for SPECCOM for several months under the command of Captain Jace B. Tolin. Once Captain Tolin became gravely injured during combat, the ship was recalled for repairs and resupply. In January of 2386 Captain Tolin retired from service and command decided to reorganize the unit leaving the ship unassigned. Fleet Admiral Sal D'Amico assigned it to himself as a personal transport vessel, feeling the scout and stealth capabilities to be valuable in his role as head of Solas Tempus.
After the vessels initial construction Katja Volkova was offered the assignment of the master systems AI and executive officer. She got along well with the crew but had been considering seeking a transfer. When Admiral D'Amico took over the ship, she decided to stay on. In its new role the vessel would be used less frequently and allow her more time to pursue personal interests. To this end, Admiral D'Amico allows her to take the vessel out when it's not in use for extended periods of time.
