===20304240304.22=== 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.

 ===20401240401.15===

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 nullnil. 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 The Chief Engineer, Lieutenant Rillith, indicated that the ship was dead in space , and the Cardassians began to board.

===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 the ship fired on it. The asteroid shell fizzles fizzled 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 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 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 while 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 Abaa who was able to engineer the conduit to bring them home.

===20512Chaos struck the Copernicus and allies almost simultaneously. The Yeager was lost to sensors and communications. Commander Lacey’s away team also fell out of communication, and more shuttles were lost from sensors or comms. Commander Avark was killed by a malignant virus created by Crewman Smith. Commander Avark, however, was stored in Holographic form. The Titan suffered from minor communication problems as well as some navigational issues.22===

The Copernicus, along with Titan and Yeager, are tasked Captain Godard ordered all ships to explore return and catalogue a hidden system with just over 100 planets to analyzefull tactical analysis of the situation. The Copernicus consensus was assigned to retreat from the mid-system to investigate. After being given temporary command of finding the Yeager smashed into the shippieces, 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 survivors were rescued and the vacant CTO position, and Lieutnant Tru resigned from Medical. remaining ships returned to [[Starbase Alpha]]

Chaos struck ===240802.03===Klingon activity was detected in the [[Vigo System]]. In a rushed attempt to find answers, the Copernicus and allies almost simultaneously. The Yeager was lost sent to sensors investigate. Captain Elisa Goddard departed for a personal mission and communications. Commander Lacey’s away team also fell out of communicationsFirst Officer [[Jackson, and more shuttles were lost from sensors or comms. Areack|Commander Avark Areack Jackson]] was killed by a malignant virus created by Crewman Smithplaced in command. With some luckTowards the end of the mission, newly arrived [[Dys, Gloria|Lieutenant Commander Avark Gloria Dys] became First Officer as Godard was stored in Holographic form. The Titan suffered from minor communication problems as well as some navigational delemeasnot to return.

Captain Godard ordered all ships A Klingon space station was found in the Vigo system. The Science department deduced that the Klingons were creating artificial wormholes, but had not harnessed the ability to return and effectively control them. The Klingon Base Commander made a full tactical analysis request for the Copernicus’ help as the unstable wormhole was in danger of the situationripping apart their station. The consensus An away team was sent to retreat from help the system. After finding Klingons, but the Yeager smashed into team and the pieces the survivors Klingons were rescued and dragged through the remaining ships returned to [[Starbase Alpha]] wormhole unexpectedly.

===20802240809.0313===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 While searching for 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]]Commanding Officer to fill the gap of the now resigned Captain Elisa Godard,[[WoodDys, MistyGloria|Lieutenant Commander Misty WoodGloria Dys]], was installed as Acting Captain. [[BrackettAnder, LideahLee|Lieutenant Commander Lideah BrackettLee Ander]]was made Acting First Officer, and [[Fields, Jane|Lieutenant (Junior Grade) Jane Fields]] replaced the seniority of the Copernicuspromoted from CMO.

A Klingon space station The ship is found in the Vigo system. The Science department makes the deduction that the Klingons have been creating artificial wormholessent to a newly discovered M-Class world believed to be uninhabited, but have not harnessed lying within the ability to effectively control themborderlands between Federation and Romulan space. SurprisinglyOf potentially strategic importance, an outpost on the Klingon Base Commander had made request for the Copernicus’ help. An away team was sent to help the Klingonsplanet could not only mean potential protection from future incursion, but the station entered a wormhole unexpectedlyalso access to large swaths of dilithium and latinum deposits.

The Two away team was transporter teams lead by Lieutenant Commander Lee Ander and [[Fields, Jane|Lieutenant Junior Grade Jane Fields]] are sent to a desert planet-individual potential-so that the Klingons would not be able to reveal any information about the wormhole terminusdilithium mining sites. Firing a probe into the wormholeSoon after their dispatch, the Copernicus is able had begun to find and retrieve run into targeting troubles. Unable to get a lock or sensor reading on the away team.

En route back The Away Teams found that the planet was not uninhabited as first thought. Both away teams 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 technologically naïve counterparts the Nakai. The away teams had planned to stay to Starbase Charlie, initiate further communication with the crew is waylaid due natives but were forced to pull out with the presence of a photonic entity which traps Romulan warbird in the crew in a holographic World War II Earth simulationsystem, threatening attack.

===20809The Dauntless now arrived to aid the Copernicus. The two sjips 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 to evacuate the planet were cut short when the planet entered into a catastrophic meltdown and the surface opened up in flame and swallowed what was left of the colonies. The planet surface then returned to normal but with all traces of the colonies 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 alien presence. Though some colonists were evacuated from the planet, millions died and the operation was a great tragedy.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===240910. 15===

A new M-Class world believed The Copernicus is assigned to research an unexplored system, [[Gamma Cephei]]. The mission began well, and initial scans met with interesting results. Before any real information could be uninhabited becomes gathered, a fleetwide emergency was declared and the Copernicus’ new mission targetCopernicus was diverted to [[Tellar]]. This planet lays within Temporal anomalies were plaguing key Federation homeworlds, to the extent that when the borderlands between Federation and Romulan space. A outpost or large installment Copernicus arrived on the planet scene they 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 Cookno longer recognize them.

Two away teams lead by Lieutenant Commander Lee Ander and The [[Fields, Jane|Lieutenant Jane FieldsTerran Empire]] are sent had taken place of Star Fleet and the Copernicus engaged in verbal negotiations with the Empire while two ships - the Tallahassee and Poseidon, modulated subspace beams to individual potentialclose the temporal anomaly and restore the situation -dilithium mining sites. Soon with all returning to normal after their dispatchment, the Copernicus had begun to run into targeting troublesrift was closed. Unable to get Later is was found that the temporal anomaly was exploited by a lock or sensor reading species called the away team let alone the entire planet the mother-vessel was left helpless [[Grath]] from a alternate universe, and they were using this to assistenter our timeline with hostile intentions.

Meanwhile, the Away Teams found that The ship continued its journey to Gamma Cephei. An away team was beamed down to collect samples. Unexpectedly natives were encountered on the planet was not uninhabited as first thought, but with no sensor readings showing sentient life. Both The away teams come into contact with two separate species: 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 [[NakaiBrooks, Daniel|Lieutenant Commander Daniel Brooks]] and [[Joran]]St. Both species lived on their homeworld of [[Kryn’torVrain, Elspeth|Lieutenant Elspeth Saint Vrain]], but who were held captives for a short time before rescue. After that the Joran had little contact with their technological naïve counterparts crew decided to leave the Nakai. The away teams had planned to stay to initiate further communication with planet and the natives but were forced humans to pull out with the presence of a Romulan warbirdlifestyle they had chosen.

===20903The Copernicus was assigned to explore the Typhon Expanse. Upon entering the Expanse, crew members reported seeing Romulans and officers in earlier forms of uniform from decades earlier. A thirty-year old Romulan Warbird attacked the vessel with boarding parties. Captain Hawk set the ship to self-destruct, and this made the Romulans retreat.02===

After receiving their new Commanding Officer, [[Stewart, Stovon|Captain Stovon Stewart]]Next a battle ensued. Looking to be on the losing side, the Copernicus along with ejected its auxiliary warp core. In the USS Drake are rushed to midst of the battle the core explosion knocked the vessel out of the expanse and out of the aide temporal loop in emergency evacuations which it was stuck. Apparently the warbird and rescue operation. The USS Drake is waylaid apparitions were all from their prime mission target of [[Tekna]] and is instead sent to evacuate [[Troligan Waystation]] and gather other shipsthe past, stuck in the temporal anomaly.

[[Dys, Gloria|Commander Dys]] is sent on an away team by Captain Stewart after arriving at Tekna===241107. 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. 16===

===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 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.

===21210Under the guise of a scientific mission to Nimbus III, the mission aimed to track and detain a terrorist cell lead by former Star Fleet Officer Thomas Shaw/Paul Vice.04===

The Copernicusapproached the planet, hiding in a nearby nebula to mask their approach. Captain Hawk and Admiral Wueste beamed to the planet without security (much to the objection of the First Officer and other department heads) in order to infiltrate the terrorist lab. There they found a bioweapon that the terrorists were working on. Concurrent to this, with the newly promoted Copernicus came under attack by the terrorists. [[HawkFields, JadenJane|Captain Jaden HawkCommander Jane Fields]]commanded the vessel and its defence. Suffering only moderate damage, is given a secret assignment by Admiral the ship was able to defeat the terrorists. On the planet. Wueste, the Admiral serves as a VIP onboard and Hawk obtained the shipbioweapon, as well as mission consultantbut Vice escaped.

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===241212. 17===

The USS Copernicus approached was sent to find the planetUSS Wright, hiding which was long overdue for check in with Star Fleet Command. The ship found the USS Wright caught in a nearby nebula to mask their approachdense asteroid field with no possible way of escaping under its own systems. Commander Hawk ordered a complete evacuation of the Wright after finally coming into contact with the ship's CO, Captain McDowell. At this timeDuring the evacuation, the Admiral reveals his plan to Copernicus science team discovered several more officers, still keeping it tightly closedasteroids around them were holographically disguised [[Krynar_Confederation|Krynar]] shard ships.

Captain Hawk, and Admiral Wueste beamed ordered self-destruct to be set on the Engineering section of the planet without adequate security in order Wright to infiltrate destroy the terrorist labshards, where they found and acquired a bioweapon that while the rest of the terrorists were working Wright crew escaped on. Concurrent to this, the Copernicus came under attack by the terroristship’s saucer section. [[FieldsFirst Officer, Jane|Commander Jane Fields]] commanded , strongly objected to this hostile action against the vessel shards, as they had not initiated any aggression and its defensewere apparently simply observing. Suffering only moderate damageHawk ignored the objection and went ahead, but the ship self-destruct did not destroy the shard ships and they simply retreated. The Copernicus was able to defeat tow the terrorists, but at the price of letting the cell leader, Paul Vice, get awayWright’s saucer section back to Starbase Alpha.

===21212The Captain led a team to the planet to uncover the mystery. A state banquet was laid on for their arrival, although protected by armed guards. The away team found that not all of the planet’s populace was as welcoming as the planetary President, and some military personnel seemed openly hostile and sceptical about the 'prophecy' coming true. The crew had indeed landed amid a political situation and one of the generals initiated a coup on the president at the banquet. 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 and indeed it was no longer reading as in orbit. The away team deduced that the planet was facing some sort of temporal displacement.17===

The USS In orbit, the Copernicus is sent to go find now saw a much earlier version of the USS Wrightplanet, 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 technological advancements of escaping under its own systemsaround 20th Century Earth. Commander Hawk ordered a complete evacuation of the ship after finally coming into contact In an effort to establish communication with the derelict vessels COaway team, Captain McDowell. During the evacuationFO, [[Roland, Mick|Commander Mick Rolland]] sent 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 Wrightshuttle Xenon to investigate. The rest of shuttle came under attack by Zaniah fighters, but the crew escaped on the vessel’s saucer section. The self-destruct was in hopes of destroying transported back to the shard ships, but only ended up making Copernicus letting the vessels retreat. The Copernicus was able to tow shuttle descend into the Wright’s saucer section back to Starbase Alphaatmosphere.

===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.    ===21508.29===   == Captain's Crew Logs ==
