''Veritas'' launched under the command of Captain Liu Sheng-Wen in 2381. Liu had been a part of the class's development project at the Antares Fleet Yards and led the ship on its year-long shakedown cruise before completing a four-year tour of duty. The ship completed an additional four-year tour of duty under the command of Commander T'Lan from 2386 to 2390. | |||
In 2393, | In 2390, Captain [[Rosa Carrero]] was given command of ''Veritas''. During Carrero's tenure, ''Veritas'' was assigned to [[Operation Safe Harbor]], an anti-piracy effort by Starfleet begun in 2391. ''Veritas'' was assigned to serve the worlds of the [[Colonial Coalition]] as Starfleet's sole presence in the volatile region along the [[Tholian Assembly|Tholian border]] known as the [[Shoals]]. In 2382, she combated drug trafficking in the Jov Parom Sector. | ||
In 2393, ''Veritas'' completed a tour of duty and visited [[Astrofori One]] in the [[Menthar Corridor]] for shore leave. At the end of that year, Carrero was killed while meeting with the governor of [[Shadow's Edge]] during an attack by unknown assailants. Admiral [[sh'Hiel]] subsequently reassigned Captain [[Roshanara Rahman]] of the {{USS|Syracuse}} to assume command and investigate the incident, in particular because a former shipmate of Rahman's, [[Evan Delano]], was possibly linked. To assist her with the task, sh'Hiel granted Rahman's request to reunite the former members of the {{USS|Invicta}} senior staff who had been scattered across various postings after their tour of duty aboard the ''Invicta'' had ended six months earlier. | |||
