 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]].

 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.

-====== 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.

 The USS Brahe traces its history to the Nova Class, originally designed in 2363 as a replacement for the ageing Oberth Class.

 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.
