===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 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]]

In a rushed attempt was able to find answers, bring the Copernicus is sent Cardassian to investigateSecurity and seal him in the brig. Captain Elisa Goddard decided Later, the Cardassian was somehow beamed from the brig to remain behind to relocate civiliansHolodeck 1 using Avark's codes, as such [[Jackson, Areack|Commander Areack Jackson]] where he was placed engaged in commander and melee combat by [[DysTrem, GloriaImrix|Lieutenant Commander Gloria DysImrix Trem]] put in as First Officer, the chief Engineer. Both were wounded greatly, but the Cardassian died of his wounds.

This mission was Strange things began to test a whole new crew. Most officers, and even enlisted were transferred and replacedhappen on the ship including delusional behaviour from several personnel. [[ElswinLacey, BrettAriana|Lieutenant Brett ElswinCommander Ariana Lacey]], Lieutenant Seth HartingCSO, [[Korbel, Julio|Ensign Julio Korbel]]shot Crewman Smith and was relieved of duty. In a chase at the Computer core,[[Wood, Misty|Lieutenant Commander Misty Wood]]Lacey injured two more crew members before attempting to shoot the Captain. The shot missed, [[Brackett, Lideah|and hit the computer core causing a catastrophic malfunction and subsequent explosion: severely injuring Captain Godard. Then Lieutenant Commander Lideah Brackett]]Avark was arrested, and [[Fields, Jane|newly appointed Lieutenant (Junior Grade) Jane Fields]] replaced Shard Vinzz was left in command of Security for a short time while the seniority parasite was removed and Avark put back into command of Security. The 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, they ignored the Copernicus, and 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 was able to return home thanks to Ensign Abaa who was able to engineer the conduit to bring them home.

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===240512. 22===

The away team Copernicus, along with Titan and Yeager, was transporter tasked to explore and catalogue a desert planethidden system with just over 100 planets to analyze, the Copernicus was assigned the mid--so that system to investigate. After being given temporary command of the Klingons would not be able ship, First Officer Commander Avark’s biotic implants malfunctioned causing him to lose consciousness for several minutes. An away team led by Commander Ariana Lacey was sent to reveal any information about the wormhole terminusBotticelli homeworld--an previously unregistered species. Firing a probe into Lieutenant Commander Crowhurst was picked for the wormholevacant CTO position, the Copernicus is able to find and retrieve the away teamLieutnant Tru resigned from Medical.

En route back Chaos struck the Copernicus and allies almost simultaneously. The Yeager was lost to Starbase Charliesensors and communications. Commander Lacey’s away team also fell out of communication, the crew is waylaid due to and more shuttles were lost from sensors or comms. Commander Avark was killed by a photonic entity which traps the crew malignant virus created by Crewman Smith. Commander Avark, however, was stored in a holographic World War II Earth simulationHolographic form. The Titan suffered from minor communication problems as well as some navigational issues.

===20809A 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 effectively control them. The Klingon Base Commander made a request for the Copernicus’ help as the unstable wormhole was in danger of ripping apart their station. An away team was sent to help the Klingons, but the team and the Klingons were dragged through the wormhole unexpectedly.13===

While searching for The away team was transported to a desert planet--but the Klingons would not reveal any information about the wormhole terminus and were uncooperative. Firing a new first officer probe into the wormhole, the Copernicus was able to fill find and retrieve the gap of away team but the now resigned Captain Elisa Godard, CSO [[DysWood, GloriaMisty|Commander Gloria DysMisty Wood]] was installed as Acting Captain. [[Ander, Lee|Lieutenant Commander Lee Ander]] is made Acting First Officer at this timeseriously injured and left in a permanent vegetative state.

A new M-Class world believed En route back 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 Starbase Charlie, the planet could not only mean potential protection from future incursion, but also access crew was waylaid due to large swaths of dilithium and latnium deposits as confirmed by a photonic entity which trapped the USS Cookcrew in a holographic World War II Earth simulation.

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===240809. 13===

Meanwhile, While searching for a new Commanding Officer to fill the Away Teams found that the planet was not uninhabited as first thought. Both away teams come into contact with two separate species: gap of the now resigned Captain Elisa Godard, [[Nakai]] and [[JoranDys, Gloria|Commander Gloria Dys]]was installed as Acting Captain. Both species lived on their homeworld of [[Kryn’torAnder, Lee|Lieutenant Commander Lee Ander]]was made Acting First Officer, 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 warbirdpromoted from CMO.

===20903The 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 initiate further communication with the natives but were forced to pull out with the presence of a Romulan warbird in the system, threatening attack.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===240903.02===

After receiving their new Commanding Officer, [[DysStewart, GloriaStovon|Commander DysCaptain Stovon Stewart]] is sent , the Copernicus along with the USS Drake rushed to aid emergency evacuations and rescue operation from a colony on an away team by Captain Stewart after arriving at the planet [[Tekna]], which had erupted in devastating tectonic activity that was ripping the planet apart. The Copernicus is then sent back ships first made a detour to the [[Troligan Waystation ]] to gather other civilian ships to assist aid in the evacuation of the Drakeplant's population. [[Dys, while the Gloria|Commander assess Dys]], now first officer, led an advanced party to Tekna in the situationrunabout Pegasus. In the interimUndefended, the Away team is Pegasus was attackedby two Cardassian ships and boarded. Captain Stewart leaves a second away team at USS Dauntless arrived on the Waystation while returning to Tekna scene, also en route to lend their help. Unknowing to with the CopernicusTekna situation, and picked up the USS Dauntless was already responding to the Tekna Away Team’s Pegasus 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 , rescuing the planet seemed to “self destruct”, runabout crew 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 planetbefore one Security fatality.

===20910The 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 gathered, a fleetwide emergency was declared and the Copernicus was diverted to [[Tellar]]. Temporal anomalies were plaguing key Federation homeworlds, to the extent that when the Copernicus arrived on the scene they could no longer recognize them.15===

An unexplored system, The [[Gamma CepheiTerran Empire]]had taken place of Star Fleet and the Copernicus engaged in verbal negotiations with the Empire while two ships - the Tallahassee and Poseidon, is assigned modulated subspace beams to close the temporal anomaly and restore the USS Copernicus for research. The mission began well off, situation - with initial scans met with interesting resultsall returning to normal after the rift was closed. Before any real information could be gathered, a fleetwide emergency Later is was declared and found that the Copernicus temporal anomaly was diverted to exploited by a species called the [[TellarGrath]]. Temporal anomalies plague key Federation homeworldsfrom a alternate universe, and they were using this to the extent that when the Copernicus arrived on scene they could no longer recognizeenter our timeline with hostile intentions.

The ship continued its journey to Gamma Cephei. An away team was beamed down to collect samples. Unexpectedly natives were encountered on the planet, but 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 [[Terran EmpireBrooks, Daniel|Lieutenant Commander Daniel Brooks]] and [[St. Vrain, Elspeth|Lieutenant Elspeth Saint Vrain]] had taken place of Star Fleet, who were held captives for a short time before rescue. The Copernicus engaged in verbal negotiations with After that the Empire while two ships--crew decided to leave the Tallahassee planet and Poseidon modulated subspace beams the humans to close the anomalylifestyle they had chosen.

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===241010. 04===

===21010Next a battle ensued. Looking to be on the losing side, the Copernicus ejected its auxiliary warp core. In the midst of the battle the core explosion knocked the vessel out of the expanse and out of the temporal loop in which it was stuck. Apparently the warbird and apparitions were all from the past, stuck in the temporal anomaly.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===241107.16===

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, received major upgrades and 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 retreatrefit at Starbase Alpha.

When they returned next a battle ensued. Looking to be on the losing side[[Hawk, Jaden|Commander Jaden Hawk]] and the Copernicus ejected its auxiliary warp core. In are sent to the midst of Dalmatia System along with the battle it was short USS Philadelphia, USS Pegasus, and USS Sheridan. Ships were deployed different sections of the explosion knocked Dalmatia System, the vessel out of the expanse and out of Copernicus to the temporal loopTitian sub-system.

  ===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.

===21210.04=== The Copernicus, with Under the newly promoted [[Hawk, Jaden|Captain Jaden Hawk]], is given a secret assignment by Admiral Wueste, the Admiral serves as guise of a VIP onboard the ship, as well as scientific 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 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 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.  

===21212The Copernicus approached 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, the Copernicus came under attack by the terrorists. [[Fields, Jane|Commander Jane Fields]] commanded the vessel and its defence. Suffering only moderate damage, the ship was able to defeat the terrorists. On the planet. Wueste and Hawk obtained the bioweapon, but Vice escaped.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===241212. 17===

===21407241407.25===

In the interim, Under [[Fields, Jane|Captain Jane Fields]] took command as the Commanding Officer, after a two-month long journey, the ship arrived at the unexplored Zaniah system. The third planet contained an advanced civilization, and inexplicably the planet contacted them using Federation protocols. The President of the planet knew the name and class of the Copernicusas well as her Captain’s name, and claimed that their ancient prophecies had predicted their arrival. Scans found Federation power signatures across the planet and it seemed as if there had been extensive influence by the Federation on their society and technology.

After The Captain led a two-month long journeyteam 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 ships arrives at planetary President, and some military personnel seemed openly hostile and sceptical about the Zaniah system'prophecy' coming true. The unknown system ended up as crew had indeed landed amid a political situation and one of the generals initiated a prize, containing an advanced civilization coup on its third planetthe president at the banquet. Much The team were forced to flee with the crew’s surprisePresident, the planet contacted themnot before an officer was killed. As if prophesied, the President of A bright flash engulfed the planet knew the name, and class of the ship natives continued as well as her Captain’s name. From initial thoughtsif nothing was unusual, but the crew suspects previous Federation intervention on Away Team could not contact the planetUSS Copernicus and indeed it was no longer reading as in orbit. As thought, scans confirmed their worries finding extensive Federation power signatures across The away team deduced that the planetwas facing some sort of temporal displacement.

Upon transport to In orbit, the Copernicus now saw 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 found themselves at a rather nice banquet, although protected by heavily armed guardthe FO, [[Roland, Mick|Commander Mick Rolland]] sent the shuttle Xenon to investigate. The away team found that not all of shuttle came under attack by Zaniah fighters, but the planet’s populace crew was as welcoming transported back 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 letting the ship was not there. The away team deduced that shuttle descend into the planet was facing some sort of temporal displacementatmosphere.

In orbitOn Zaniah, the away team investigated the ‘prophecy’ of their occurrence and found their own shuttle Xenon in one of the historical museums - being the lost shuttle the Copernicus encountered had sent to actually rescue the team. It was evidently aged by time but still functional, and they used the sensors on the shuttle to locate a much earlier version of temporal device below them inside the planet. The Copernicus had picked up the same power signature and chroniton emissions, with and sent another team to investigate the technological advancements device. It was not of around 20th Century Earthnative construction, but matched Devidian designs, and in a state of disrepair and malfunctioning, causing the temporal jumps through an unfortunate interaction between it and unusual emissions from the local star. In an effort The team were able to establish communication with repair the away teammachine. This caused another temporal flash, but one that restored the FO, [[Roland, Mick|Commander Mick Rolland]] sent timeline on the planet so that the shuttle Xenon Copernicus was able to investigatebeam everyone out including the planetary President who was now in need of protection. The shuttle came under attack Captain Fields negotiated a settlement between the rebels and the President, and was able to convince the former by Zaniah fighters, but beaming the rebels to the ship - showing that the crew was transported back were in fact who they claimed to be, from the Copernicus letting Federation and not some 'actors' working for the shuttle descend into President. The time machine was now reading as dormant and had clearly now broken permanently, so the atmosphereplanetary time shifting was at an end.
