==History==
===20304.22===
USS Copernicus GSC - 9035 launched under automatic computer control from Starbase Alpha, Stardate 20304.22 detected incoming Borg vessel, Star Fleet designation 'wedge'. Using sensor array, Borg bio-neural frequency detected and jammed. Disruption of Borg Collective on vessel immediate and complete. Channel opened to USS Titan CL - 2007 and USS Agincourt CA - 1412. Orders to destroy inactive Borg ship sent and received.
At battle completion, automatic control returned vessel to assigned docking position and systems placed in standby.
===20401.15===
After being upgraded at Star Base Alpha, the USS Copernicus was ordered to bring [[Linden, Jeffrey |Admiral Jeffrey Linden]] to Star Base Bravo.
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 and interests. The Dopterians were mining latium from the Class Q planet which were 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 Cardassian warship had entered the system and began to move 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 by [[Jal, Kinziri| Lieutenant Commander Kinziri Jal]], was able to sustain the large amount of injured crew members effectively. Once the Chief Engineer, Lieutenant Rillith, indicated that the ship was dead in space the Cardassians began to board.
Lieutenant Karl Brackett, and Lieutenant Ferguson were able to keep the ship from falling into Cardassian hands before Commander Syntranos ejected the remaining boarding parties into space.
Able to restore some power to the ship, Commander Syntranos ordered the ship to scrape the enemies shields, which ended up furthering the Copernicus’ damage but destroying the Cardassian vessel.
===20409.25===
Repaired and refit once more, the ship is given to [[Godard, Elisa|Captain Elisa Godard]] and 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 of the ship’s Security) discovered a Cardassian saboteur aboard and was in the process of finding them. However, the Chief Medical Officer and First Officer, Lieutenant Commander Munroe and Commander Prolog. Munroe was put into stasis.
A large asteroid was than on approach to the Copernicus. Unable to avoid its path, they fired on it. The asteroid shell fizzles away and revealed an alien vessel which fired upon the Copernicus. The ship was not destroyed, merely drained of energy before leaving.
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 to Holodeck 1 where he engaged [[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: [[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 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 was abducting from the bridge and Avark put back into command of Security. After gladiatorial games for Commander Avark, delusional problems for Lieutenant Trem, and at least two murders on the ship they were able to return home thanks to Ensign Abba who was able to engineer the conduit to bring them home.
===20512.22===
The Copernicus, along with Titan and Yeager, are tasked to explore and catalogue a hidden system with just over 100 planets to analyze. 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 by Commander Ariana Lacey to the Botticelli homeworld--an 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 communications, 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 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]]
===20802.03===
Klingon activity detected in the [[Vigo System]]! In a rushed attempt to find answers, the Copernicus is sent to investigate. Captain Elisa Goddard decided to remain behind to relocate civilians, as such [[Jackson, Areack|Commander Areack Jackson]] was placed in commander and [[Dys, Gloria|Lieutenant Commander Gloria Dys]] put in as First Officer.
This mission was to test a whole new crew. Most officers, and even enlisted were transferred and replaced. [[Elswin, Brett|Lieutenant Brett Elswin]], Lieutenant Seth Harting, [[Korbel, Julio|Ensign Julio Korbel]],[[Wood, Misty|Lieutenant Commander Misty Wood]], [[Brackett, Lideah|Lieutenant Commander Lideah Brackett]], and [[Fields, Jane|Lieutenant (Junior Grade) Jane Fields]] replaced the seniority of the Copernicus.
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 Klingon Base Commander had made request for the Copernicus’ help. An away team was sent to help the Klingons, but the station entered a wormhole unexpectedly.
The away team was transporter to a desert planet--so that the Klingons would not be able to reveal any information about the wormhole terminus. Firing a probe into the wormhole, the Copernicus is able to find and retrieve the away team.
En route back to Starbase Charlie, the crew is waylaid due to a photonic entity which traps the crew in a holographic World War II Earth simulation.
===20809.13===
While searching for a new first 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 made Acting First Officer at this time.
A new M-Class world believed to be uninhabited becomes the Copernicus’ new mission target. This planet lays within the borderlands between Federation and Romulan space. A 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 deposits as confirmed by the USS Cook.
Two away teams lead by Lieutenant Commander Lee Ander and [[Fields, Jane|Lieutenant Jane Fields]] are sent to individual potential-dilithium mining sites. Soon after their dispatchment, the Copernicus had begun to run into targeting troubles. Unable to get a lock or sensor reading the away team let alone the entire planet the mother-vessel was left helpless to assist.
Meanwhile, the Away Teams found that the planet was not uninhabited as first thought. Both away teams come 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 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 warbird.
===20903.02===
After receiving their new Commanding Officer, [[Stewart, Stovon|Captain Stovon Stewart]], the Copernicus along with the USS Drake are rushed to the aide in emergency evacuations and rescue operation. The USS Drake is waylaid from their prime mission target of [[Tekna]] and is instead sent to evacuate [[Troligan Waystation]] and gather other ships.
[[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. Unknowing to the Copernicus, the USS Dauntless was already responding to the Tekna Away Team’s distress signal.
The Dauntless and Copernicus then proceeded to help the colonists of Tekna with what could only be described as ‘fire lizards’ that were terrorizing the planet. All efforts were cut short when the planet began to enter into a catastrophic meltdown. Once the evacuation was complete the planet seemed to “self destruct”, but scans could not detect any activity. Commander Dys requested for Star Fleet to put the planet under quarantine after the Science department theorized it to be a sentient planet.
===20910.15===
An unexplored system, [[Gamma Cephei]], is assigned to the USS Copernicus for research. The mission began well off, with 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 key Federation homeworlds, to the extent that when the Copernicus arrived on scene they could no longer recognize.
The [[Terran Empire]] had taken place of Star Fleet. The Copernicus engaged in verbal negotiations with the Empire while two ships--the Tallahassee and Poseidon modulated subspace beams to close the anomaly.
Captain Stewart decided to finish the mission, and the ship continued its journey to Gamma Cephei. An away team was beamed down to collect samples. Natives unbeknownst to the Copernicus’ sensors greeted the away team. The away team discovered that the natives were humans who had put aside their advanced technology to live a simple life several generations earlier. The natives kidnapped [[Brooks, Daniel|Lieutenant Commander Daniel Brooks]] and [[St. Vrain, Elspeth|Lieutenant Elspeth Saint Vrain]], who were only held captives for a short time before rescue. After that the crew decided to leave the planet in peace.
===21010.04===
Captain Stewart resigns commission, and [[Hawk, Jaden|Commander Jaden Hawk]] takes over. [[Fields, Jane|Lieutenant Commander Jane Fields resides as first officer, due to Commander Gloria Dys being kept at Star Base Alpha.
The Copernicus is assigned to explore the Typhon Expanse. Upon entering the Expanse, the ship underwent critical crew failure. Crewmembers reported seeing Romulans. This caused paranoia with some of the crew. Before they knew it, 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.
===21107.16===
The Copernicus receives major upgrades and refit from Starbae 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 deployed to a different section 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 pattern is lost during transport which make the first contact. 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.
To avoid breaking the Prime Directive, the away teams were recalled after rescuing the Captain, and the Copernicus sent to Starbase Charlie.
===21210.04===
The Copernicus, with the newly promoted [[Hawk, Jaden|Captain Jaden Hawk]], is given a secret assignment by Admiral Wueste, the Admiral serves as a VIP onboard the ship, as well as mission consultant.
En route to Nimbus III, the mission remains under guise as a Scientific exploration mission. However, top senior staff learn that the mission is the tracking and detainment of 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 this time, the Admiral reveals his plan to several more officers, still keeping it tightly closed.
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, the Copernicus came under attack by the terrorist. [[Fields, Jane|Commander Jane Fields]] commanded the vessel and its defense. Suffering only moderate damage, the ship was able to defeat the terrorists, but at the price of letting the cell leader, Paul Vice, get away.
===21212.17===
The USS Copernicus is sent to go find the USS Wright, which has become long overdue for check in with Star Fleet Command. The vessel founds 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 on the Engineering section of the Wright. The rest of the crew escaped on the vessel’s saucer section. The self-destruct was in hopes of destroying the shard ships, but only ended up making the vessels retreat. The Copernicus was able to tow the Wright’s saucer section back to Starbase Alpha.
===21407.25===
In the interim, [[Fields, Jane|Captain Jane Fields]] took command of the Copernicus.
After a two-month long journey, the ships arrives at the Zaniah system. The unknown system ended up as a prize, containing an advanced civilization on its third planet. Much to the crew’s surprise, the planet contacted them. As if prophesied, the President of the planet knew the name, and class of the ship as well as her Captain’s name. From initial thoughts, the crew suspects previous Federation intervention on the planet. As thought, scans confirmed their worries finding extensive Federation power signatures across the planet.
Upon transport to the planet, the away team found themselves at a rather nice banquet, although protected by heavily armed guard. The away team found that not all of the planet’s populace was as welcoming to their visit as the Planetary President was. However, at that moment all was for not; after a bright flash engulfed the planet, the Away Team could not contact the USS Copernicus for in fact the ship was not there. The away team deduced that the planet was facing some sort of temporal displacement.
In orbit, the Copernicus encountered a much earlier version of the planet, with the technological advancements of around 20th Century Earth. In an effort to establish communication with the away team, the FO, [[Roland, Mick|Commander Mick Rolland]] sent the shuttle Xenon to investigate. The shuttle came under attack by Zaniah fighters, but the crew was transported back to the Copernicus letting the shuttle descend into the atmosphere.
On Zaniah, the away team investigated the ‘prophecy’ of their occurrence and found the shuttle Xenon in one of their historical museums. Using this the away team found a temporal device located inside the planet. Before the away team could take measures to stop the machine, rebels against the current government attacked, forcing them to retreat back to the Copernicus and Starbase Alpha.
