Template:Nova Class She was built originally by the Federation for long term stellar observations in distant star systems. Thought it was left without the ability for internal power generation other than minimal life support it has been recently been refit for modern scientific duty, though the project it was refit for has recently been undergoing review leaving the ship unassigned.
The primary computer system was completely replaced and the newer ALICE interface was installed on top of the LCARS standard including support for the holographic systems interface.
The ship was originally equipped with two type 18 shuttle craft for use in probing deep into a stars corona using the metaphysic shield technology. These have since been reassigned to another project due to the original project review being called for. Since then it has been left without support craft but with long term support equipment and supplies for two shuttle craft.
