USS Nemesis-B: Difference between revisions

The USS Nemesis-B has a long history despite her rather new name and registery. The ship, orignally the USS Nemesis-A, was the replacement for the USS Freedom when she was lost behind an experimental shield and invaded by hostile aliens. Under that name, she was designated to Captain Sandolphan Aquiss, who later took command of Starbase 118. When Captain Aquiss became field captain for the Starbase, he recommended that the Nemesis be handed over to his former first officer, Captain Torack Demma. Demma had recently lost his first command, the USS Arizona-A, due to heavy battle damage and a decision by Starfleet to decommission the ship. It was fitting that the Nemesis be handed down to Captain Demma as he had served on it most of his career.

Captain Demma remained in command of the vessel until an incident at Alpha Base 45. Most of the details of this incident are still classified and can not be divulged to those who are not of command status. The end result was that Captain Demma was transferred to Deep Space 72, an old, unkempt station. After the transfer, Demma brokered a deal with his former father-in-law, Admiral Quinn, to regain the Nemesis and have her attached to DS72. However, he had the ship refitted, and renamed, in an attempt to save face for the Admiral who had Demma transferred. Thus the USS Nemesis became the USS Defiance NCC 62397-A. Captain Alder Wong-Aquiss took command of the ship in 2378. Soon after the change of captaincy, the ship was renamed the USS Nemesis-B as an homage to the ship's first Captain.
