Changes

Then the ship under [[Lanael, Ysiadina |Captain Ysiadina Lanael]] took the ship to an unexplored sector with a registered Class O and Class Q planets. Captain Ysiandia took a team to the Class O planet while [[Syntranos, Darsyn |Commander Darsyn Syntranos]] took a team to the Class Q planet. A sentient species known as the Zshe was found on the Class Q planet. The Commander’s team also found that mining equipment had been set up on the planet by another species, the Dopterians: whom possessed familiar appearances to Ferengi, and apparently morales morals and interests. The Dopterians were mining latium latinum from the Class Q planet which were was severely hurting the native Zshe.

In the mess of trying to deal with the Dopterians, an incident involving Lieutenant Tor-ith Cateil evolved into a full on battle. As it turned out, a A Cardassian warship had entered the system and began to move moved in to attack the Copernicus. All away teams were called back to the vessel, but Captain Ysiandia Lanael’s shuttle was destroyed on the return trip, leaving Commander Syntranos in command.

When the Copernicus engaged the Cardassian warship, the Federation vessel’s shields were null. The crew learned that the the Cardassians had somehow obtained their shield modulation frequency. Medical, lead led by [[Jal, Kinziri| Lieutenant Commander Kinziri Jal]], was able to sustain treat the large amount of injured crew members effectively. Once the Yhe Chief Engineer, Lieutenant Rillith, indicated that the ship was dead in space , and the Cardassians began to board.

Repaired and refit once more, the ship is given to [[Godard, Elisa|Captain Elisa Godard]] is the new Commanding Officer, and the ship it sent to investigate a nebulae where a Borg transwarp conduit had been located. The Copernicus enters the warp conduit but is violently ejected out of it into the Magellanic Cloud, damaged and partially disabled. At this point, [[Avark|Lieutenant Commander Avark]] (head , Chief of the ship’s Security) , discovered a Cardassian saboteur aboard who is eventually captured and was in put into the process brig. The COS relieved himself of finding them. Howeverduty after he began to feel unwell, the Chief Medical Officer and First Officer, Lieutenant Commander Munroe and Commander Prolog. Munroe a parasite was put into stasiseventually discovered that led to erratic behaviour.

The Cardassian saboteur, managed to escape containment and caused trouble on the ship, including the death of Lieutenant Commander Avark’s lover: Lieutenant Junior Grade Susan Caffery. [[Vinzz, Shard|Midshipman Shard Vinzz]] was able to bring the Cardassian to Security and seal him in the brig. Later, the Cardassian was somehow beamed from the brig to Holodeck 1 using Avark's codes, where he was engaged in melee combat by [[Trem, Imrix|Lieutenant Imrix Trem]], the chief Engineer. Both were wounded greatly, but the Cardassian died of his wounds.

Strange things began to happen on the ship: including strange and delusional behaviour from several personnel. [[Lacey, Ariana|Lieutenant Commander Ariana Lacey]], CSO, shot Crewman Smith and was relieved of duty. In a chase at the Computer core, Commander Lacey injured two more crew members before attempting to shoot the Captain. The shot missed, and hit the Computer Core computer core causing a catastrophic malfunction and subsequent explosion: severely injuring Captain Godard. Then, Lieutenant Commander Avark was arrested and newly appointed Lieutenant Junior Grade Shard Vinzz was left in command of Security for a short time before Commander Lacey the parasite was abducting from the bridge removed and Avark put back into command of Security. After gladiatorial games for Commander AvarkThe alien vessel managed to fire a purple beam at the Copernicus, and Lacey was abducted from the bridge. The alien vessel then retreated and the Copernicus followed it to a nearby planet swarming with other alien ships of the same kind. However, delusional problems for Lieutenant Tremthey ignored the Copernicus, and at least two murders on an away team was dispatched to the planet where Lacey had been taken. The team were put through a gladiatorial 'alien Olympics.' Lacey was retrieved. Eventually the ship they were was able to return home thanks to Ensign Abba who was able to engineer the conduit to bring them home.

The Copernicus, along with Titan and Yeager, are was tasked to explore and catalogue a hidden system with just over 100 planets to analyze. The analyzem the Copernicus was assigned the mid-system to investigate. After being given temporary command of the ship, First Officer Commander Avark’s biotic implants malfunctioned causing him to lose consciousness for several minutes. An away team lead led by Commander Ariana Lacey was sent to the Botticelli homeworld--an previously unregistered species. Lieutenant Commander Crowhurst was picked for the vacant CTO position, and Lieutnant Tru resigned from Medical.

Chaos struck the Copernicus and allies almost simultaneously. The Yeager was lost to sensors and communications. Commander Lacey’s away team also fell out of communicationscommunication, and more shuttles were lost from sensors or comms. Commander Avark was killed by a malignant virus created by Crewman Smith. With some luck, Commander Avark , however, was stored in Holographic form. The Titan suffered from minor communication problems as well as some navigational delemeas.

Captain Godard ordered all ships to return and a full tactical analysis of the situation. The consensus was to retreat from the system. After finding the Yeager smashed into the pieces , the survivors were rescued and the remaining ships returned to [[Starbase Alpha]]

Klingon activity was detected in the [[Vigo System]]! . In a rushed attempt to find answers, the Copernicus is was sent to investigate. Captain Elisa Goddard departed for a personal mission and [[Jackson, Areack|Commander Areack Jackson]] was placed in commander , and at the end of the mission newly arrived [[Dys, Gloria|Lieutenant Commander Gloria Dys]] becomes became First Officer.

A Klingon space station is found in the Vigo system. The Science department makes the deduction that the Klingons have been creating artificial wormholes, but have not harnessed the ability to effectively control them. Surprisingly, the The Klingon Base Commander had made request for the Copernicus’ helpas the unstable wormhole was in danger of ripping apart their station. An away team was sent to help the Klingons, but the station entered a team and the Klingons were dragged through the wormhole unexpectedly.

The away team was transporter transported to a desert planet--but the Klingons would not reveal any information about the wormhole terminusand were uncooperative. Firing a probe into the wormhole, the Copernicus is was able to find and retrieve the away team but the CSO [[Wood, Misty| Misty Wood]] is was seriously injuredand left in a permanent vegetative state.

En route back to Starbase Charlie, the crew is waylaid due to a photonic entity which traps trapped the crew in a holographic World War II Earth simulation.

While searching for a new first officer Commanding Officer to fill the gap of the now resigned Captain Elisa Godard, [[Dys, Gloria|Commander Gloria Dys]] was installed as Acting Captain. [[Ander, Lee|Lieutenant Commander Lee Ander]] is was made Acting First Officer at this time, promoted from CMO.

A new The ship is sent to a newly discovered M-Class world believed to be uninhabited becomes the Copernicus’ new mission target. This planet lays , lying within the borderlands between Federation and Romulan space. A Of potentially strategic importance, an outpost or large installment on the planet could not only mean potential protection from future incursion, but also access to large swaths of dilithium and latnium latinum deposits as confirmed by the USS Cook.

Meanwhile, the The Away Teams found that the planet was not uninhabited as first thought. Both away teams come came into contact with two separate species: the [[Nakai]] and [[Joran]]. Both species lived on their homeworld of [[Kryn’tor]], but the Joran had little contact with their technological technologically naïve counterparts the Nakai. The away teams had planned to stay to initiate further communication with the natives but were forced to pull out with the presence of a Romulan warbirdin the system, threatening attack.

After receiving their new Commanding Officer, [[Stewart, Stovon|Captain Stovon Stewart]], the Copernicus along with the USS Drake are rushed to the aide in aid emergency evacuations and rescue operation. The USS Drake is waylaid from their prime mission target of a colony on the planet [[Tekna]] and is instead sent , which had erupted in devastating tectonic activity that was ripping the planet apart. The ships first made a detour to evacuate the [[Troligan Waystation]] and to gather other civilian shipsto aid in the evacuation of the plant's population. [[Dys, Gloria|Commander Dys]], now first officer, led an advanced party to Tekna in the runabout Pegasus. Undefended, the Pegasus was attacked and boarded by two Cardassian ships. USS Dauntless arrived on the scene, also en route to help with the Tekna situation, and picked up the Pegasus distress signal, rescuing the runabout crew but not before one Security fatality.

[[Dys, Gloria|Commander Dys]] is sent on an away team by Captain Stewart after arriving at Tekna. The Copernicus is then sent back to Troligan Waystation to assist the Drake, while the Commander assess the situation. In the interim, the Away team is attacked. Captain Stewart leaves a second away team at the Waystation while returning to Tekna to lend their help. Unknown to the Copernicus, the USS Dauntless was already responding to the Tekna Away Team’s distress signal. The Dauntless and now arrived Copernicus , then proceeded to help the colonists of Tekna with what could only be described as ‘fire lizards’ that were terrorizing the planet, emerging out of huge fissures in the earth. All efforts were cut short when the planet began to enter entered into a catastrophic meltdown. Once and the evacuation surface opened up in flame and swallowed what was complete left of the colonies. The planet seemed surface then returned to “self destruct”, but scans could not detect any activitynormal after all traces of the colonies was erased. Commander Dys requested for Star Fleet to put the planet under quarantine after the Science department theorized it to be a sentient planet, reacting to the mining operation from the colonists with the violent tectonic activity, and effectively purging itself of the aalien presence. Though some colonists were evacuated from the planet, millions died and the operation was a great tragedy.

An The Copernicus is assigned to research an unexplored system, [[Gamma Cephei]], is assigned to the USS Copernicus for research. The mission began well, and initial scans met with interesting results. Before any real information could be gathered, a fleetwide emergency was declared and the Copernicus was diverted to [[Tellar]]. Temporal anomalies plague were plaguing key Federation homeworlds, to the extent that when the Copernicus arrived on the scene they could no longer recognize them.

The [[Terran Empire]] had taken place of Star Fleet. The and the Copernicus engaged in verbal negotiations with the Empire while two ships--the Tallahassee and Poseidon modulated subspace beams to close the temporal anomaly and restore the situation - with all returning to normal after the rift was closed. Later is was found that the temporal anomalywas exploited by a species called the [[Grath]], from a alternate universe, and they were using this to enter our timeline with hostile intentions.

The After it was restored, the ship continued its journey to Gamma Cephei. An away team was beamed down to collect samples. Natives unbeknown to Unexpectedly natives were encountered on the Copernicus’ sensors greeted the away teamplanet, with no sensor readings showing sentient life. The away team discovered that the natives were humans who had put aside their advanced technology in the Federation to live a simple life from several generations earlier. The natives kidnapped [[Brooks, Daniel|Lieutenant Commander Daniel Brooks]] and [[St. Vrain, Elspeth|Lieutenant Elspeth Saint Vrain]], who were held captives for a short time before rescue. After that the crew decided to leave the planet in peaceand the humans to the lifestyle they had chosen.

Captain Stewart resigns resigned his commission, and [[Hawk, Jaden|Commander Jaden Hawk]] takes overtook command. [[Fields, Jane|Lieutenant Commander Jane Fields]] is was promoted to Commander and becomes First Officer, due to Commander Gloria Dys being kept at Star Base Alphaover temporal transgressions.

The Copernicus is was assigned to explore the Typhon Expanse. Upon entering the Expanse, the ship underwent critical crew failure. Crewmembers members reported seeing Romulans. This caused paranoia with some and officers in earlier forms of the crewuniform from decades earlier. Before they knew it, a A thirty-year old Romulan Warbird attacked the vessel with boarding parties. Captain Hawk knew that they would take over the ship and set the ship to self-destruct. For an unknown reason , this made the Romulans retreat.  When they returned next a battle ensued. Looking to be on the losing side, the Copernicus ejected its auxiliary warp core. In the midst of the battle it was short and the explosion knocked the vessel out of the expanse and out of the temporal loop.

The Copernicus receives received major upgrades and a refit from Starbae at Starbase Alpha.

[[Hawk, Jaden|Commander Jaden Hawk]] and the Copernicus are sent to the Typhon Expanse along with the USS Philadelphia, USS Pegasus, and USS Sheridan. All ships are Ships were deployed to a different section sections of the Dalmatia System, the Copernicus is sent to the Titian sub-system.

An away team is dispatched to the surface to find the surface dwelling Terrannovans. The Captain’s transporter pattern is lost during transport which tot the surface to make the first contact. The Terranovans deny any involvement, but the Captain (Jaden Hawk) was kidnapped and tortured by the Aquanoverrans, who shared the planet with the Terrannovans, and were largely displeased with the Federation’s arrival.

[[Hawk, Jaden|Captain Jaden Hawk]], is was given a secret assignment by Admiral Wueste, the Admiral serves serveed as a VIP onboard the ship, as well as mission consultant.

En route to Nimbus III, Under the mission remains under guise as of a Scientific exploration scientific mission. Howeverto Nimbus III, top senior staff learn that the mission is the tracking aimed to track and detainment of detain a terrorist cell lead by former Star Fleet Officer: Thomas Shaw/Paul Vice.

The Copernicus approached the planet, hiding in a nearby nebula to mask their approach. At Captain Hawk, and Admiral Wueste beamed to the planet without adequate security in order to infiltrate the terrorist lab, where they found and acquired a bioweapon that the terrorists were working on. Concurrent to this time, the Admiral revealed his plan Copernicus came under attack by the terrorists. [[Fields, Jane|Commander Jane Fields]] commanded the vessel and its defense. Suffering only moderate damage, the ship was able to several more officersdefeat the terrorists. On the planet, though Wueste and Hawk obtained the bioweapon, still keeping it tightly closedVice escaped.

The USS Copernicus is sent to go find the USS Wright, which has become long overdue for check in with Star Fleet Command. The ship found the USS Wright caught in an asteroid belt with no possible way of escaping under its own systems. Commander Hawk ordered a complete evacuation of the ship after finally coming into contact with the derelict vessels CO, Captain McDowell. During the evacuation, the Copernicus science team discovered several asteroids around the Wright and Copernicus were holographically disguised shard ships. Setting the self-destruct on the Engineering section of the Wrightto be set in order to destroy the shards, while the rest of the crew escaped on the ship’s saucer section. The First Officer, Commander Fields, objected to this hostile action against the shards, as they had not initiated any aggression towards them and were apparently simply observing. Hawk ignored the objection and went ahead, but the self-destruct was in hopes of destroying did not destroy the shard ships, but only ended up making the vessels retreatand they simply retreated. The Copernicus was able to tow the Wright’s saucer section back to Starbase Alpha.

Under [[Fields, Jane|Captain Jane Fields]] takes command of as the Copernicus.  After Commanding Officer, after a two-month long journey, the ships arrives ship arrived at the unexplored Zaniah system. The unknown system ended up as a prize, containing third planet contained an advanced civilization on its third planet. Much to the crew’s surprise, and inexplicably the planet contacted themusing Federation protocols. As if prophesied, the The President of the planet knew the name, and class of the ship Copernicus as well as her Captain’s name. From initial thoughts, the crew suspects previous Federation intervention on the planetand claimed that their ancient prophecies had predicted their arrival. Scans confirmed this, finding extensive found Federation power signatures across the planetand it seemed as if there had been extensive influence by the Federation on their society and technology.

Upon transport The Captain led a team to the planet, to uncover the away team found themselves at a mystery. A state banquetwas laid on for their arrival, although protected by heavily armed guards. The away team found that not all of the planet’s populace was as welcoming to their visit as the Planetary planetary Presidentand some military personnel seemed openly hostile and sceptical about the 'prophecy' of their arrival coming true. After They had indeed landed amid a political situation and one of their generals initiated a coup on the president at the banquet, and the team were forced to flee with the President, not before an officer was killed. A bright flash engulfed the planet, and the natives continued as if nothing was unusual, but the Away Team could not contact the USS Copernicus for and indeed it was no longer reading as in fact the ship was not thereorbit. The away team deduced that the planet was facing some sort of temporal displacement.

On Zaniah, the away team investigated the ‘prophecy’ of their occurrence and found the their own shuttle Xenon in one of their the historical museums- being he lost shuttle the Copernicus had sent to actually rescue the team, it was evidently aged by time. Using thisStill functional, they used the away team found sensors on the shuttle, to located a temporal device located below them inside the planet. Before The Copernicus had picked up the same power signature and chroniton emissions, and sent another team to investigate the device. It was not of native construction but matched Devidian designs, and in a state of disrepair and malfunctioning, causing the away temporal jumps through an unfortunate interaction between it and unusual emissions from the local star. The team could take measures were able to stop repair the machine. This caused another temporal flash, but one that restored the timeline on the planet so that the Copernicus was able to beam everyone out including the planetary President who was now in need of protection. Captain Fields negotiated a settlement between the rebels against and the current government attackedPresident, forcing them and was able to convince the former by beaming the rebels to retreat back the ship - showing that the crew were in fact who they claimed to be, from the Copernicus Federation and not some 'actors' working for the President. The time machine was now reading as dormant and Starbase Alphahad clearly now broken permanently, so the planetary time shifting was at an end.
