U.S.S. Brattain NCC-21166
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)
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]

Botany Bay
Botany Bay (TOS-24)
Botany Bay (TOS-24)
Nuclear-powered vessel of the DY-100 class. Named after an infamous Australian penal colony, the Botany Bay was launched in 1996 with refugees from the Eugenics Wars, namely Khan Noonien Singh and his band of genetically-bred “supermen.” The launch was kept secret in order to not alarm a war-weary population that the tyrant who controlled more than one-fourth of the planet from 1992-96 was still alive. After being defeated in Earth’s Eugenics Wars, Khan and his followers hoped to find another world to conquer and rule.[1]
The Botany Bay drifted in space for over two centuries with its passengers in suspended animation, until the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 discovered the sleeper ship near the Mutara sector in 2266. The ship’s automatic systems attempted to revive Khan first, since he was the leader of the group, but malfunctioned in the process, forcing the Enterprise crew to intervene and save him. Captain Kirk intended to keep the other passengers in stasis until the Enterprise reached Starbase 12 with the Botany Bay in tow, but Khan defied security and transported back to the sleeper ship to revive his crewmates and begin an insurgency. Of the 84 passengers, 72 survived, 30 of them women. The Botany Bay was discarded in deep space when Khan attempted to commandeer the Enterprise,[1] but a variety of belongings were retained, including a collection of classic books and a seatbelt, which found their way to Ceti Alpha V, where Khan and his people were exiled.[2]
