U.S.S. Brattain NCC-21166

Miranda class (ST-02)
Miranda class (ST-02)

Commanded by Captain Chantal Zaheva. The Brattain mysteriously disappeared in 2367 and was found trapped in a Tyken’s rift near a binary star system by the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D. All but one of the Brattain crew were found dead, apparently having brutally killed each other. Autopsies conducted by Dr. Beverly Crusher revealed unusual chemical imbalances in their brains, apparently due to severe REM sleep deprivation, believed to be the cause of the bizarre violence. The REM sleep loss was found to be a side-effect of an attempt by an alien ship to communicate from within the Tyken’s Rift. The alien intelligence had apparently been trying to enlist the Brattain‘s crew to help both ships escape the rift.[1] Named for Walter House Brattain (1902-1987), American scientist who won the Nobel prize for Physics in 1956 for the development of the transistor.

U.S.S. Bozeman NCC-1941

U.S.S. Bozeman (TNG-218)

U.S.S. Bozeman (TNG-218)
U.S.S. Bozeman (TNG-218)

Soyuz-class Federation starship commanded by Captain Morgan Bateson, a contemporary of Admiral James T. Kirk and Captain Spock. In 2278, three weeks after leaving its home starbase, the Bozeman disappeared near the Typhon Expanse. It re-emerged in a near-collision with the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D in 2368. The Bozeman had been unknowingly stuck in a temporal causality loop with the Enterprise-D; while the Enterprise crew lost only 17.4 days, the crew of the Bozeman effectively skipped over 90 years. In alternate realities, the two ships had actually collided and destroyed each other, an occurrence which repeated numerous times in the causality loop, until the Enterprise crew became aware of the anomaly and found a way to avert the disaster and break the loop. After a near-collision once the loop had been broken, Bateson—unfamiliar with the design of the other ship—hailed the Enterprise to offer assistance, but was informed by Captain Picard that he and his crew were now in the year 2368.[1]

I.K.S. BortaS

Vor'cha class (TNG-181)
Vor’cha class (TNG-181)

Klingon Vor’cha-class attack cruiser. The BortaS (which means “revenge” in Klingon) conveyed Captain Picard‘s request for Klingon assistance at planet Nelvana III when the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D investigated reports of a secret Romulan base there. The three Klingon vessels that responded to Picard’s request made it possible for the Enterprise to escape without provoking an interstellar war, despite the hopes of the Romulans.[1] The BortaS rendezvoused with the Enterprise on Stardate 44246.3, when Chancellor K’mpec revealed that he was dying, and asked Captain Picard to serve as the Arbiter of Succession, leaving Picard in the unenviable position of selecting the next leader of the Klingon Empire.[2] The BortaS served as Gowron‘s flagship during the Klingon civil war of 2367. Worf served as weapons officer aboard the BortaS during the early part of that conflict.[3]
