This page is for the current Nebula-class incarnation of the USS Cambrian sim, active as of 2386 (2010). For information on the older Akira-class vessel, see: USS Cambrian (NCC-74986). A more extensive history of the simulation can be found on the USS Cambrian History page.
Launched in 2384 after the destruction of the previous Cambrian, the USS Cambrian (NCC-74986-A) is a Nebula-class starship that operates out of Sigma Librae in the Hurucan Sector. Currently under the command of Captain Sarah Hawkins, the Cambrian is deployed primarily as a patrol ship and explorer, surveying the unexplored systems in the region. To that end, the USS Cambrian is home to elements of the 184th Tactical Fighter Group, as well as a small unit of Starfleet Marines.

[edit] History
Launched from Utopia Planetia in 2384, the Nebula-class was originally intended for a unique designation, but was reclassified as the NCC-74986-A after a special order from Commodore Sturak was approved by Starfleet Operations. The ship was dispatched immediately to the Klingon border with a skeleton crew, where it collected a number of survivors from the crew of the original USS Cambrian. Captain Mek'tor, late of the USS Saturn, assumed command with Commander Katerina Voronkova - the Officer who had supervised the final stages of the ship's construction and its transit to K-7 - as his Executive Officer.
The newly christened Cambrian-A immediately underwent a shakedown cruise to stress-test its various systems. Unfortunately, the vessel was infiltrated by Tribbles over the course of the cruise, leading to a string of unexplained technical malfunctions that weren't resolved until the entire infestation could be successfully purged. Eventually however the cruise was branded a success, and the Cambrian was launched into active duty.
Assigned briefly as a relief vessel in Outpost K-7's counter-piracy patrols, the Cambrian was deployed towards the Briar Patch, where it was scheduled to rendezvous with the USS Orion. Unfortunately, the Orion had been ambushed by pirates en route, suffered heavy damage and several casualties, and was in need of urgent assistance. Commander Voronkova assumed command and led the ship to safety, while the Cambrian pursued the pirates responsible; as a result one of the major organisations in the region was routed. With the XO temporarily in command of the Orion, the Strategic Operations Officer for the Sector - Colonel Tristan Viego - was released to serve as First Officer in an acting capacity.
Over the course of their investigations and counter-piracy efforts in the Sector, Lieutenant Patricia Holmes uncovered evidence of illegal slavery on a nearby planet. She went undercover on behalf of Starfleet Intelligence, and was part of an operation to bring down the network.
With piracy greatly reduced in the area - due in part to the Cambrian's efforts - the vessel was issued a border patrol assignment, operating out of Starbase 326 along the Federation's coreward border. While en route to their new base of operations, the crew came upon an alien artifact that infected the crew with a virilant disease. Fortunately, with the help of their Romulan passenger Ethara t'Rel, the crew was able to identify the technology responsible, eventually discovering the virus to be holographic in nature.
Shortly after reaching the Starbase, the Cambrian was deployed as part of a relief effort. The USS Oberon had been conducting deep space exploration in the Hurucan Sector, surveying the Sigma Librae system as a potential location for a forward Logistics Depot to facilitate further operations in the region. However, the Oberon succomed to sabotage over the course of her mission, stranding parts of her crew on the icy surface of Sigma Librae II. A successful rescue was conducted by the USS Valkyrie; Starfleet decided to expand on the crude colony that the Oberon crew had established and develop it into their new Outpost. The Cambrian was deployed with additional relief supplies for the Oberon, and the equipment and personnel necessary to begin the initial stages of Outpost construction.
[edit] Task Force
Following her permenant assignment to the Hurucan Sector (based at the Sigma Librae Logistics Depot), the Cambrian was placed in command of a small task force of vessels to patrol the space surrounding Sigma Librae and to provide military support to the exploration vessels in the area, as well as conducting exploration missions of her own. The Task Force consisted of a the USS Aurora (Defiant-class), the USS Horizon (Nova-class), and the USS Rising Star (Miranda-class).
