The '''USS ''Ranger''-A''' is a [[ma:Nebula_class|Nebula Class]] starship, a replacement for the original [[USS Ranger]] and assigned to Commander [[James Terra]] after Admiral [[Kelly, Brian|Brian Kelly]] retired. The original Ranger was presumed destroyed after running afoul of a [[ma:Crystaline Entity|Crystaline Entity]] on stardate 237403.11.


The USS Ranger-A is a nebula class starship, which began it's career under the experienced command of Rear Admiral Brian Kelly. The Ranger-A was a direct replacement for the USS Ranger, which was lost on Stardate 237403.11.  
Both original and Alpha line Nebula Class ships served as an [[Starfleet Starships: Escorts|Escort]], but were front line war ships usually involved with military applications and covert operations serving as a frontline vessel and crew. This usually ended up with the ship's location classified more often that not, as it has a long history of having served behind enemy lines in the pursuit of defense and preserving the lives of StarFleet and Federation citizens.


The Ranger is a powerful military vessel. It has its mission brief officially classed as Escort, however it is well known that the Ranger-A is dedicated to the dangerous missions involved in defending the Federation from external enemies. The Ranger-A has proved its might many times, and defended many Federation lives.  
The Nebula class vessel was intended as a more numerous counterpart to the Galaxy class project. Although much smaller, the Nebula class can support the performance of almost 90% of the missions of a [[ma:Galaxy_class|Galaxy class]] vessel. This is due to the flexibility of the interchangeable 'mission pod' on the Nebula class vessel. The Ranger-A is fitted with a modified weapons/tactical pod as standard.  


The location of the Ranger-A is, more often than that not, highly classified for obvious reasons, as most of the time the vessel is serving behind enemy lines.  
After Commander Terra's reassignment, who received a promotion a few months later, command passed to Commander [[Ice, Sascha|Sascha Ice]], having recently returned to the Fleet, and following Ice's recall to SB118, RAdmiral Brian Kelly returned to command the Ranger before StarFleet forced him into administration. Captain [[Skye, Cheyenne|Cheyenne Skye]], daughter of famous shipping tycoon Milton Skye, took command after a short recall, continuing the ship's profile. On its last mission, members from the [[ma:Mirror Universe|Mirror Universe]] sabotaged the Ranger after a failed attempt to hijack the ship, which caused a complete systems failure.


The Nebula class vessel was intended as a more numerous counterpart to the Galaxy class project. Although much smaller, the Nebula class can support the performance of almost 90% of the missions of a Galaxy class vessel. This is due to the flexibility of the interchangeable 'mission pod' on the Nebula class vessel. The Ranger-A is fitted with a modified weapons/tactical pod as standard.  
The Ranger was able to warp back to [[Starbase 118 Ops]] through the use of a shuttlecraft battery, thanks to the ingenuity of its Engineering staff, but completely shut down on re-entry and ended up on a collision course before the [[USS Hammond]] initiated a tractor beam to slow the ship and tow it safely into dry dock. The Ranger was to begin a massive internal overhaul to recover its core systems, but as with it's counterpart, the [[USS Phoenix-B]], problems ensued in the recovery of the core and has sat decommissioned in drydock since its unfortunate circumstances in November of 2378.


In early 2379 command of the ship was given to Commander James Terra, who received a promotion a few months later. When he took a leave of absence from the fleet, Captain Cheyenne Skye, daughter of famous shipping tycoon Milton Skye, took command. After a massive systems failure which was the result of an attempt to disable the computer by hijackers from the Mirror Dimension, the ship was returned to spacedock to begin a massive computer and internal overhaul.
In February of 2388, the Ranger's primary computer system was transported out of the ship, requisitioned by Ensign [[Kelly, Michael|Michael Kelly]] under a petition to retrieve and/or repair the troublesome primary core system.  


The Ranger-A also has its sister ship stationed at StarBase 118, the USS Indria-A.
