''Veritas'' is assigned to serve the [[Federation]] colonies of the [[Colonial Coalition]] in the volatile region along the [[Tholian Assembly|Tholian border]] known as the [[Shoals]]. With Starfleet's constrained resources in the post-[[Dominion War]]/post-[[Hobus supernova|Hobus]] era stretched over an ever growing list of domestic and foreign commitments across the two quadrants, ''Veritas'' is the sole Starfleet ship operating in the area, and her homeport in the Shoals is [[Star Station Esperance]], on the non-Federation world [[Esperance]].


''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 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.
