The USS Nobel (NCC-76990) is a Federation Galaxy-class starship and in 2399 was assigned to the Fourth Fleet's Task Force 17's lead expeditionary group. A veteran of the Dominion War, the Nobel was one of the few Galaxy-class ships that was launched during the conflict. Geared at the time to more combat oriented missions, including troop transport, the Nobel established itself during key battles and was most noted for its heroic actions during the closing days of the war. The Nobel returned to peace keeping duties and has seen many captains come and go through since its launch. Originally launched from the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards, the Nobel has received a number of upgrades in its twenty five years of service to Starfleet.

Design & Layout

Originally configured almost exactly the same as other Galaxy-class ships, like the USS Venture, the only difference for the Nobel was that a majority of her scientific laboratories and facilities were not installed as the ship was rushed into service. It wasn't until 2377, that the ship returned to its birthplace in orbit of Mars to have all of its systems fully installed.

When it received its sixth upgrade and refit (which was completed in 2399), Starfleet made several adjustments to the ship to prepare it to join the expeditionary group that was heading out to the Delta Quadrant. Not only was her tactical and defensive systems improved but almost every system on the ship was enhanced. Along with supporting with exploration efforts, the Nobel would play host to specialist teams from the Starfleet Corps of Engineers assigned to her to assist in the maintenance of the expeditionary force as well as deal with any other engineering matter that would arise during their time in the Delta Quadrant. With her industrial replicators and large cargo bays dedicated to storage for important parts, components and resources, the Nobel would extend the lifeline the expeditionary force required while they were so far away from Starfleet.

A new impressive sickbay was also installed. It could provide state of the art medical assistance to anyone in the fleet if required to do so or deal with mass triage. It rivalled the sickbays often found on outposts and starbases.

History

2374-2399

It was one of many ships quickly launched in 2374 as part of Starfleet's response to the ever growing need to have strong, battle ready ships to fight against the Dominion. The ship survived the war and went on to assist as part of Starfleet's peacekeeping force along the Cardassian border for the next two years. Eventually she returned to Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards to receive repairs, refits and have a majority of its scientific laboratories and facilities finally installed.

From 2377 onwards, the ship was assigned to a range of missions within Federation territory but was seen on many occasions along the Federation-Klingon border. Its priorities were changed by 2381 to assist Federation interests close to the Tzenkethi Coalition. This was where for the next four years the ship spent its time. In 2385 the ship was assigned to help with the resettlement of refugees from the Romulan Star Empire onto worlds in the Romulan Neutral Zone. When the supernova takes out Romulus, the Nobel is assigned to patrol the former Neutral Zone on and off for the next five years. The crew would find themselves dealing with ongoing piracy and the involvement of Fenris Rangers in such matters.

By 2395, it was high time for the ship to receive a massive overhaul of all of its systems. As such the Nobel was one of a few ships to receive such an extensive refit, one that would take Starfleet almost four years to complete. Placed at the Devron Fleet Yards, the updates to the ship were completed by 2399 but a brand new crew had to be selected to take over the reigns.
