The '''USS ''Thomas Edison''''' was a {{c|Nova}} ship under the [[Vulcan]] Commander Konrad.

While on a routine stellar cartography mission in the [[Piktar System]], not far from the [[Prometheus Station]], the Edison became ensnared in a temporal rift of unknown origins.  A virus, spread by an infected Starfleet personnel from an alternate timeline, overwhelmed the majority of the crew.

Three survivors, Doctor [[Lilavati Chandur]], Ensign [[Eleni Kostas]], and Master-at-Arms Scott Rand, were able to avoid being infected and took refuge in the Engineering Room.  Holding out there for over a week, the survivors fashioned a probe and eventually made contact with the {{USS|Constitution|B}}, which had been sent to investigate the disappearance of the Edison. 

The survivors were rescued, but while the ''Constitution'' and her crew were working on finding a cure for the infection raging on the ship, the ''Edison'' was pulled into a temporal rift and destroyed.

The ''Constitution'', seeing no other available option, abandoned the mission to rescue any further members of the USS ''Thomas Edison'' and returned to [[Deep Space 10]] with more questions than answers.
