| === How It Began ===
| | <!--Please do not delete the Notable Crew section as this is for history tracking of the BFMS command pages.--> |
| In 2400 the crew of the [[USS Kison|USS ''Kison'']] went on a deep space mission when they were hailed by a security team in [[Starfleet]] uniform. They ordered the crew to report to Earth Space dock where they would be questioned for [https://bravofleet.com/story/68113 a crime they didn't commit]. Once on their way to [[Earth]], things turned black and when they woke up, they were detained in cells. This was not an ordinary [[Starfleet]] prison. When they were being processed, and stripped of their uniforms and comm devices, they walked along a window. Through the window, the crew witnessed how the [[USS Kison|USS ''Kison'']] was towed away. Nobody knew how or why this was happening. Once returned to their cells, they were each interrogated separately. Some of the crew got tortured. For weeks the crew was kept in cells. No food, no water. Until weeks later a search team entered the facility in which the crew was kept. [[Starfleet]] brought the crew home, however, the ''Kison'' wasn't there.

| | |
| Left without a ship, it seemed like [[bfms char:63859|Kelvin]] was to be reassigned elsewhere. The rest of the crew appeared to be reassigned as well. Things didn't look good until Kelvin walked out the doors of Starfleet Command and was greeted by his crew and those who served under his command. The admiral shook Kelvin's hand as they looked towards the sky and saw the USS ''Reliant'' in orbit. On that day the ''Reliant'' became a ship under command of Lieutenant Commander Kelvin Benedict Walker.

| === The Ship ===
| |
| A successor in appearance and role to the venerable [[Miranda Class|''Miranda''-class]], the [[Reliant Class|''Reliant'']]-class frigate is a modern, capable starship intended to handle routine border and space lane patrol duties. While the ''Miranda'' was only designated a frigate in the 2360s towards the end of her lifespan, the ''Reliant'' was designed from the ground up with this role in mind. The goal of this design program was to provide a well-armed ship that could allow Starfleet to phase out a number of smaller starship designs produced from the 2350s through the 2370s.
| |
| | |
| ==== Exploration and Science ====
| |
| Though not designed to embark on long-range, independent exploration missions, ''Reliant'' is still a capable scientific platform for missions such as planetary surveys. Uniquely for a ship of her size, ''Reliant'' does not have any specialized labs – all six of her science labs are generalized and configurable to the particular mission she has been assigned to, rather than having dedicated spaces for each discipline. To save space, there is no stellar cartography bay, but there is an astrometric suite that serves the same function.
| |
| | |
| ''Reliant'' has enhanced long-range sensors mounted in two pods between the superstructure and the primary hull, which gives her above-average range and precision in terms of scanning ability, which makes her ideal to patrol the Federation’s borders.
| |
| | |
| ==== Tactical ====
| |
| Equipped with eleven small Type-XII phaser arrays, ''Reliant'' is provided with all-around beam weapon coverage, which is a major improvement over ''Miranda''-class starships, which had several well-known blind spots. Like with her engines, ''Reliant''’s phaser arrays are an adapted version of the same arrays in use aboard ''Sovereign''-class ships, which are a substantial improvement from earlier phaser arrays in terms of their precision and combat survivability, though with ''Reliant''’s smaller power generation ability and thus lower firepower, they are expected to last at least twice as long as their larger cousins before needing major maintenance. Theoretically, it would be possible to achieve greater performance with these arrays with additional power.
| |
| | |
| Torpedo coverage is provided by a pod located above the main superstructure of the vessel, which contains two forward and two aft torpedo launchers, each capable of firing in volleys of up to three torpedoes at once. Ordnance is stored in this pod, as well, and typically they carry a mix of photon and quantum torpedoes.
| |
| | |
| In addition to ten centimeters of ablative armor on her hull, ''Reliant'' is equipped with the same multi-layer shielding system found on similar ships of her size and mission, with an estimated 120% greater survivability than modernized ''Miranda''-class ships experienced during the [[Dominion War]]. Crew survivability is further increased by having 58 nine-person ASRV-type escape pods and EMH coverage throughout the entire ship.
| |
| | |
| Substantially better-armed than the older ships from the 2360s and 2370s, this ship is ideal for patrol missions where light combat is anticipated. In more dangerous areas, Reliant-class ships operate in pairs or trios and are quite capable of handling pirate and raider threats.
