Changes

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.

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]]

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.

[[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.

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.

To avoid breaking the Prime Directive, the away teams were recalled after rescuing the Captain, and the Copernicus sent to Starbase Charlie.

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.
