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.

At this pointThe ship was not destroyed, [[Avark|Lieutenant Commander Avark]] (head merely drained 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 stasisenergy before leaving.

Then Lieutenant Commander Avark was arrested, and seal him newly appointed Lieutenant Junior Grade Shard Vinzz was left in command of Security for a short time while the brigparasite was removed and Avark put back into command of Security. LaterThe alien vessel managed to fire a purple beam at the Copernicus, and Lacey was abducted from the Cardassian was somehow beamed bridge. The alien vessel then retreated and the Copernicus followed it to Holodeck 1 where he engaged [[Trema nearby planet, swarming with other alien ships of the same kind. However, Imrix|Lieutenant Imrix Trem]]they ignored the Copernicus, and an away team was dispatched to the chief Engineerplanet where Lacey had been taken.

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===240512. 22===

===20512Captain Godard ordered all ships to return and a full tactical analysis of the situation.22===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]]

The Copernicus, along with Titan and Yeager, are tasked to explore and catalogue ===240802.03===Klingon activity was detected in the [[Vigo System]]. In a hidden system with just over 100 planets rushed attempt to analyze. The find answers, the Copernicus was assigned the mid-system sent to investigate. After being given temporary command of the ship, Captain Elisa Goddard departed for a personal mission and First Officer [[Jackson, Areack|Commander Avark’s biotic implants malfunctioned causing him to lose consciousness for several minutesAreack Jackson]] was placed in command. An away team lead by Commander Ariana Lacey to Towards the end of the Botticelli homeworld--an unregistered species. mission, newly arrived [[Dys, Gloria|Lieutenant Commander Crowhurst Gloria Dys] became First Officer as Godard was picked for the vacant CTO position, and Lieutnant Tru resigned from Medicalnot to return.

Chaos struck A Klingon space station was found in the Copernicus and allies almost simultaneouslyVigo system. The Yeager was lost Science department deduced that the Klingons were creating artificial wormholes, but had not harnessed the ability to sensors and communicationseffectively control them. The Klingon Base Commander Lacey’s made a request for the Copernicus’ help as the unstable wormhole was in danger of ripping apart their station. An away team also fell out of communicationswas sent to help the Klingons, but the team and more shuttles the Klingons 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 delemeasdragged through the wormhole unexpectedly.

Captain Godard ordered all ships The away team was transported to return and a full tactical analysis of desert planet--but the situation. The consensus was to retreat from Klingons would not reveal any information about the systemwormhole terminus and were uncooperative.

[[DysAnder, GloriaLee|Lieutenant Commander Gloria DysLee Ander]] becomes was made Acting First Officer, promoted 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 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--but the Klingons would not reveal any information about the wormhole terminus. Firing a probe into the wormhole, the Copernicus is able to find and retrieve the away team but the CSO [[Wood, Misty| Misty Wood]] is seriously injured. 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 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’torKryn'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.

===20903The 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.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===240910.15===

The Copernicus is assigned to research an unexplored system, [[Dys, Gloria|Commander DysGamma Cephei]] 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 Drakemission began well, while the Commander assess the situationand initial scans met with interesting results. In the interimBefore any real information could be gathered, 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 fleetwide emergency was declared and the Copernicus, the USS Dauntless was already responding diverted to the Tekna Away Team’s distress signal[[Tellar]]. The Dauntless and Copernicus then proceeded Temporal anomalies were plaguing key Federation homeworlds, to help the colonists of Tekna with what could only be described as ‘fire lizards’ extent that were terrorizing the planet. All efforts were cut short when the planet began to enter into a catastrophic meltdown. Once Copernicus arrived on the evacuation was complete the planet seemed to “self destruct”, but scans scene they 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 planetno longer recognize them.

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 [[TellarFields, Jane|Lieutenant Commander Jane Fields]]. Temporal anomalies plague key Federation homeworldswas promoted to Commander and First Officer, due to the extent that when the Copernicus arrived on the scene they could no longer recognize themCommander Gloria Dys being kept at Star Base Alpha over temporal transgressions.

The [[Terran Empire]] had taken place Copernicus was assigned to explore the Typhon Expanse. Upon entering the Expanse, crew members reported seeing Romulans and officers in earlier forms of Star Fleetuniform from decades earlier. The Copernicus engaged in verbal negotiations A thirty-year old Romulan Warbird attacked the vessel with boarding parties. Captain Hawk set the Empire while two ships-ship to self-the Tallahassee destruct, and Poseidon modulated subspace beams to close this made the anomalyRomulans retreat.

Natives unbeknown to In the midst of the battle the core explosion knocked the vessel out of the Copernicus’ sensors greeted expanse and out of the away teamtemporal loop in which it was stuck. The away team discovered that Apparently 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]] warbird and [[St. Vrain, Elspeth|Lieutenant Elspeth Saint Vrain]], who apparitions were held captives for a short time before rescue. After that all from the crew decided to leave past, stuck in the planet in peacetemporal anomaly.

Captain Stewart resigns commission, and [[Hawk, Jaden|Commander Jaden Hawk]] takes over. [[Fields, Jane|Lieutenant Commander Jane Fields]] is promoted to Commander and becomes 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 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. [[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 revealed 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 terroristsship’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.

===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 ship found the USS Wright caught in an asteroid belt with no possible way of escaping under its own systems. Commander Hawk ordered Captain led 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 Wright, the rest of the crew escaped on the ship’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=== [[Fields, Jane|Captain Jane Fields]] takes 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 uncover the crew’s surprise, the planet contacted themmystery. 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 A state banquet was laid on the planet. Scans confirmed this, finding extensive Federation power signatures across the planet.  Upon transport to the planet, the away team found themselves at a banquetfor 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 President, and some military personnel seemed openly hostile and sceptical about the 'prophecy' coming true. After 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 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 the lost shuttle the Copernicus had sent to actually rescue the team. Using thisIt was evidently aged by time but still functional, and they used the away team found sensors on the shuttle to locate a temporal device located below them inside the planet. Before The Copernicus had picked up the away same power signature and chroniton emissions, and sent another team could take measures to stop investigate the device. It was not of native 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. The team were able to 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.
