One notable incident in 2389 involved several old Jem-Hadar ships, their crews having been in suspended animation after an accident, attacking a Federation planet where the Astraeus was the only vessel close enough to respond. Using a combination of ingenuity and bravery, Captain S’Tannix was able to fight off their attackers while taking minimal damage in the process. | One notable incident in 2389 involved several old Jem-Hadar ships, their crews having been in suspended animation after an accident, attacking a Federation planet where the Astraeus was the only vessel close enough to respond.

S’tannix was promoted to Rear Admiral, and moved to a position as the commander of Starbase 819, and the Astraeus moved into a long term drydock at Starbase 74 for her first major refit. | ||

The first major refit that would result in a markedly different looking vessel than what was originally launched in 2365, the primary purpose of the Astraeus’ first major overhaul was in modernizing systems that were lagging behind the most modern Starfleet vessels - primarily, her tactical and computer systems, and warp drive functionality.

After the conclusion of her refit in | After the conclusion of her refit in late 2395, the Astraeus was assigned to Commander Victor Yeager for her shakedown cruise. Aside from the usual minor to moderate severity bugs that need to be worked out during a refit, things were proceeding normally - until Commander Yeager decided to attempt to show off the capabilities of his new ship by attempting to break the mass limit of [[The Shoals]]. This attempt was a failure, and the Astraeus ended up stranded and unable to form a warp field. The [[USS Veritas]] came to her rescue, stopping pirates from taking her over. This came at the cost of several Starfleet lives, and severe damage to the Astraeus. In the aftermath, Commander Yeager was court-martialed and stripped of his rank, and the Astraeus put back into spacedock around Cait for repairs, and to have a skin of ablative armor installed at the insistence of Commander [[Mei'konda]]. | ||
