-Launched in 2399 under the Nova Mark II program, the Brahe entered service in a time of relative peace under the command of Dominion War veteran Captain Kamaka Palakiko. This period was marked by extensive exploration and mapping of space along the Federation / Romulan Free State (RFS) boarder averaging over 72 system surveys per year. Brahe also served as an interdiction vessel, helping track and apprehend privateers and smugglers moving in and out of the RFS Space.+Launched in 2399 under the Nova Mark II program, the Brahe entered service in a time of relative peace under the command of Dominion War veteran Captain [[Kamaka Palakiko]].

Brahe also served as an interdiction vessel, helping track and apprehend privateers and smugglers moving in and out of the RFS Space.
  
-At the beginning of 2408, Brahe was attached to Task Force Sierra-71 which was tasked to apprehend Klingon and Romulan forces crossing Federation space to strike at one another. The Brahe served primarily as as a cloak detection and reconnaissance platform along side six other ships. During the early months of 2408, Sierra-71 was responsible for the destruction or apprehension of 89 enemy ships and 2 installations. Unfortunately, this success was short-lived. By mid-year 2408, Sierra-71 was ambushed during patrol with an apparent loss of all ships.+At the beginning of 2408, Brahe was attached to [[Task Force Sierra-71]] which was tasked to apprehend Klingon and Romulan forces crossing Federation space to strike at one another.

-In truth, Brahe had narrowly survived, losing almost the entire Senior Staff and two-thirds of the crew; leaving Captain Palakiko and his Chief Engineer, Lieutenant Commander Wimini Zolwink, the only officers alive, the former severely injured. Badly damaged and without means of communication, the surviving crew were able to restore enough power to limp away at Warp 3. What followed would be a seven month game of cat-and-mouse as Brahe attempted to return to safe harbour under the shadow of a constantly shifting front.+In truth, Brahe had narrowly survived, losing almost the entire Senior Staff and two-thirds of the crew; leaving Captain Palakiko and his Chief Engineer, Lieutenant Commander [[Wimini Zolwink]], the only officers alive, the former severely injured.

-Brahe was eventually found in 2409 adrift in low orbit over a Class-P world by the USS Atlis during routine patrol. Shortly thereafter, the remaining 19 Brahe crew were located and retrieved from the glacial planet’s surface.+Brahe was eventually found in 2409 adrift in low orbit over a Class-P world by the [[USS Atlis]] during routine patrol.

-Atlis spent a week restoring Brahe’s warp drive and power systems. Captain Palakiko had survived, but remained in critical condition within the Atlis’ Sick Bay. Lacking any dedicated bridge officers, Atlis temporarily placed their Chief Science Officer, Lieutenant Commander Zaliel Sel, in command of the Brahe for the duration of the return trip.+Atlis spent a week restoring Brahe’s warp drive and power systems.

 While en route to Regulus, Atlis was ordered to provide emergency assistance to another taskforce. Zaliel Sel was granted the provisionary rank of Commander, with orders to return Brahe to port and oversee repairs. For her oversight, diligence, and for want of more experience officers, Commander Sel’s rank and position were made permanent in the last days of 2409. Of the original officers and crew of the Brahe, only Chief Engineer Zolwink remained. Captain Palakiko would soon after retire as Rear Admiral Palakiko, having been too badly injured to return to service. While en route to Regulus, Atlis was ordered to provide emergency assistance to another taskforce.

 The next several years would see the Brahe traveling throughout the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, performing surveys and collecting data. Brahe, by virtue of its remote work, managed to avoid the many other political and territorial conflicts among the major powers. Still, Brahe regularly encountered dangers, experienced loses, and suffered damage as is the risk when a ship leaves port. The next several years would see the Brahe traveling throughout the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, performing surveys and collecting data.

Though short by some comparisons, the Brahe was made ready with new engines, weapons, and support systems. By mid-2420, the Brahe crossed the edge of Federation space and entered uncharted territory where it would soon discover various anomalies and the Kit Commune.+2420 would see the Brahe in dry dock while it underwent major refits in preparation for a year-long deep space exploration mission.

-====== History of the Nova Class Starship ====== +Brahe continues to serve as primarily a vessel of scientific research and discovery. Other notable encounters include the discovery of the fabled [[Gemini]] space station and helping save the [[Malga]] population from a Free State plot to destroy it with trilithium weapons.

This raised concerns about the capabilities of the design. Two years later, the Dominion War begun, placing a halt on new Nova orders until the close of hostilities in 2375.
  
 A combination of isolated incidents, the Dominion War, and the loss of the Equinox pushed Starfleet to revisit the Nova Class, placing a greater emphasis on defensive and propulsion systems. The existing space frame was improved by shielding exposed sections with armor, more phaser emitters were added, shields enhanced, and the warp core and engines given a major lift. The result was a small, resilient ship that could go toe-to-toe with larger vessels, at least long enough to escape (or for help to arrive). A combination of isolated incidents, the Dominion War, and the loss of the Equinox pushed Starfleet to revisit the Nova Class, placing a greater emphasis on defensive and propulsion systems.
