History

The USS Mercy was launched April 2, 2370 at 8:30am. Her commanding officers have been as follows:

Captain Acker Kather (January 2398- January 2400)

The USS Mercy was previously captained by Captain Acker Kather from 2398 to 2400. The ship was regularly called upon to assist in humanitarian efforts, rescue operations and fleet actions where a medical support ship was required. She was quite active in the events following the events involving the dissolution of the Romulan Star Empire and received several commendations from Starfleet regarding the crew's performance and valor. She is placed on refit from January 2400 to August of 2400.

Captain Leopold "Doc" Halsey (8.2400-11.01.2400)

The USS Mercy was assigned to Captain Halsey in August of 2400. The ship is refit to a medical and science vessel with refit equipment, systems, bridge, and more. Her CO and crew are reassigned across the fleet on November 1, 2400.

Ship Interior

The bridge is designed to be more of a conversational setup in which the CO, XO, and 2O would sit in the three center chairs while the various department chiefs and assorted officers sit in their assigned seating throughout the bridge's various stations. The intentionality of the refit design was to experiment with a bridge design more conducive to the designation of the Mercy as a science and medical ship.

Missions

Mission 1 - "Life as a House"

The USS Mercy is assigned a new captain and a new crew as the long-serving previous crew was due to stand down. The crew begins the unloading process at Starbase Bravo but is interrupted by a distress signal from a long thought abandoned moon base several sectors over, well within Federation Space.

Mission 2 - "Where Angels Dare to Tread"

An outlying colony in Federation space comes under heavy orbital and ground attack from separatist Romulan forces who are on the run from the newest iteration of the Romulan Empire. While the fleet takes chase against the attackers, the USS Mercy is tasked with engaging in search and rescue operations in both the major city and outlying rural communities.

Mission 3 - "Last of Our Kind"

The USS Mercy is working on a science project at the far edges of Federation Space while being monitored and protected by a nearby fleet. A distress signal is detected one system over, and the ship responds.
