The '''USS ''Venture''''' is a [[Sovereign Class|''Sovereign''-class]] exploratory cruiser assigned to the Fourth Fleet's Yorktown Squadron. The immediate successor to the ''Galaxy''-class explorer USS ''Venture'' (NCC-71854), the current vessel has been in service since 2388.


The '''''Copernicus''-class station''' is an outpost designed by [[Starfleet]] for deployment along the [[Federation|Federation's]] frontiers. With a configurable design, the ''Copernicus'' is capable of serving a variety of roles depending on the area and Starfleet's needs. As such, it can provide an effective platform for scientific research and exploration missions beyond Federation borders, or support and facilitate local diplomacy and commerce, or act as a defensive outpost in regions expecting only mid-level hostilities, depending on its deployment configuration. A relatively modern design, it is a fairly common sight on less-fortified borders.
==History==
 
===2386-2400: Before the 4th Fleet===
==Layout==
Construction of the USS ''Venture'' began in early 2386 at Earth Station McKinley following the synth attack on Mars which resulted in the near total destruction of the primary production facility for ''Sovereign''-class vessels, Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards. She was completed over two years later, in 2388.
 
The ''Copernicus''-class has a central hull not dissimilar in shape to the 'mushroom' of the [[Spacedock Class]] and other Federation starbases. Much smaller in size, it has fewer curves and more stark lines of support struts to maximise use of space. Protruding from the upper dome and the bottom of the hull are six total 'pads'; circular segments each with a landing pad that can hold a large runabout. The central hull has a standard configuration containing all essential station operations, key facilities, and crew quarters and civilian housing. The pad modules are what give the ''Copernicus'' its versatility, as different configurations of modules are available to allow each ''Copernicus'' to be constructed with a different mission profile.
 
===Central Hull===


The dorsal section of the main hull houses large antennae farms, facilitating powerful communications systems that can keep these sometimes-distant starbases in contact with the rest of the Federation and act as a communications relay hub for nearby ships or outposts. Shield generators are nestled above them, flush with the dorsal stem of the hull, to provide protection for the whole station. The station's two fusion generators, providing the whole of the facility's power, are housed directly above this spire.
During the 2380s and 2390s, the ''Venture'' completed three five-year missions of exploration, before Thaddeus Scott assumed command in 2398.


The lower section of the main hull contains the primary computer cores and the majority of the station's facilities for its permanent population, particularly its Starfleet crew. This includes enough scientific laboratory space, medical facilities, cargo space, and other equipment to support general operations - specialised or additional equipment and facilities are contained in the modular pods, depending on the ''Copernicus''' mission profile. The majority of housing, including visitor housing, is at the very top of this section, closest to the recreational facilities above.
===2400-Present: Into the Frontier===
Since 2400, the ''Venture'' has been assigned to the Fourth Fleet, first in the [[Fourth Fleet Expeditionary Group]] and then in 2401 to Yorktown Squadron.


The majority of the space in the upper hull section is given over to the interior docking space, which has room for several small starship ships no bigger than 200 metres in width, such as [[Reliant Class|Reliants]] and [[Steamrunner Class|Steamrunners]]. Four large docking doors grant access. Additional facilities for ship maintenance and support are also located here.
====Fourth Fleet Expeditionary Group====
''Venture'' was assigned to exploratory duties in the rimward (i.e. southern) area beyond Federation space as part of the Fourth Fleet Expeditionary Group. While on a routine supply drop to Starbase 11 before beginning this tour, ''Venture'' received a general distress call from a Gorn warship within Federation space. Days of searching and chasing shadows finally yielded results when a Gorn vessel, abandoned and damaged, was discovered. An away team boarded the ship and found two lifeforms hidden in stasis pods, captives from a Federation starship destroyed by the Gorn. ''Venture'' commenced search and rescue operations.<ref>https://bravofleet.com/mission/59420/</ref>


The decks above form a narrower ring, which is dedicated to space to support visitors, including limited guest quarters but especially the majority of the station's recreational and social spaces. The promenade stretches across two decks and runs the circumference of the upper hull, and in many places directly overlooks the docking bay doors to allow up-close sights of starships arriving and departing.
''Venture'' was relieved by another vessel and recalled to Starbase 11, where her command crew was reassigned.<ref>https://bravofleet.com/mission/73651/</ref> Following the appointment of Captain T'Prynn, ''Venture'' was again sent out, this time to discover the whereabouts of the vessel sent to relieve her during the encounter with the Gorn.<ref>https://bravofleet.com/mission/73650</ref> Because of her assignment in the rimward region of the Federation, the ''Venture'' did not participate in the Lost Fleet crisis, but she was present at Frontier Day 2401, where she suffered significant casualties.<ref>https://bravofleet.com/story/86141</ref>


At the topmost level is the Operations division, generally referred to as Ops. This includes not only the central command and control facilities for the entire station, but offices for senior staff, meeting space, and other essential facilities to support key Starfleet personnel.

Under the command of a new captain and following repairs after Frontier Day 2401, ''Venture'' was assigned to Yorktown Squadron, along with the [[USS Ares|USS ''Ares'']].

The USS Venture is a Sovereign-class exploratory cruiser assigned to the Fourth Fleet's Yorktown Squadron. The immediate successor to the Galaxy-class explorer USS Venture (NCC-71854), the current vessel has been in service since 2388.

History

2386-2400: Before the 4th Fleet

Construction of the USS Venture began in early 2386 at Earth Station McKinley following the synth attack on Mars which resulted in the near total destruction of the primary production facility for Sovereign-class vessels, Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards. She was completed over two years later, in 2388.

During the 2380s and 2390s, the Venture completed three five-year missions of exploration, before Thaddeus Scott assumed command in 2398.

2400-Present: Into the Frontier

Since 2400, the Venture has been assigned to the Fourth Fleet, first in the Fourth Fleet Expeditionary Group and then in 2401 to Yorktown Squadron.

Fourth Fleet Expeditionary Group

Venture was assigned to exploratory duties in the rimward (i.e. southern) area beyond Federation space as part of the Fourth Fleet Expeditionary Group. While on a routine supply drop to Starbase 11 before beginning this tour, Venture received a general distress call from a Gorn warship within Federation space. Days of searching and chasing shadows finally yielded results when a Gorn vessel, abandoned and damaged, was discovered. An away team boarded the ship and found two lifeforms hidden in stasis pods, captives from a Federation starship destroyed by the Gorn. Venture commenced search and rescue operations.[1]

Venture was relieved by another vessel and recalled to Starbase 11, where her command crew was reassigned.[2] Following the appointment of Captain T'Prynn, Venture was again sent out, this time to discover the whereabouts of the vessel sent to relieve her during the encounter with the Gorn.[3] Because of her assignment in the rimward region of the Federation, the Venture did not participate in the Lost Fleet crisis, but she was present at Frontier Day 2401, where she suffered significant casualties.[4]

Yorktown Squadron

Under the command of a new captain and following repairs after Frontier Day 2401, Venture was assigned to Yorktown Squadron, along with the USS Ares.
