The Brigantine or Brig was a type of ship used in large numbers, both as a Merchant vessel and as a Naval Ship. It carried 16 guns and was rigged for speed, having both top gallant sails and royals. These ships were used by Navies of the World for scouting and reconnaissance duties. They were used to track down ships of an enemy navy. Many of the Brigs of the late 18th century could carry sweeps for maneuvering in still weather. In 1814 the British Navy had 71 brigs of various types carrying 10 to 16 guns.

The Brig HMS Wyvern was a typical ship of the Brig class; she saw service from February 24, 1712 until her sinking in 1736, during a storm off the tip of South Africa. The ship was under the command of Captain John Blackthorn. In 2405 the wreckage of the HMS Wyvern was raised and restored. She is currently a living history museum piece.

The USS Wyvern served with the Mediterranean Fleet in the 4th Destroyer Squadron of nine ships in the 16th Flotilla. Two (as called) Divisions of 4 ships with one Destroyer with a Captain aboard in charge of the Flotilla. At that time there were four Flotillas serving in Malta. After a Flotilla had served 2 years 4 months or so, it was sent back to England to pay off and all crew left the ship which was replaced by a new one which was sent aboard after a refit in the home ports. Therefore, at those times only 3 Flotillas were on station.

Exercises with the Fleet were War Maneuvers in which, instead of part of the watch, the whole watch was on duty with extra lookouts and certain guns manned. That was when the two parts of the Fleet met in mock battle. (Red and Blue). After all exercises had been completed the Fleet dispersed. Most ships went to various places to anchor and give leave. We had 2 Aircraft Carriers with the Fleet and these also took part in the maneuvers.

The EBS Wyvern served a long career spanning 158 years in service of the European Hegemony. The vessel served with distinction during three conflicts during its service. It's record was exemperary and it was selected for the site of the Famed Peace treaties of 2245. The vessel was commanded by Captain Francois Delarne between 2132 and 2144. During his career, Captain Delarne became the most decorated Naval officer in the European Hegemony.

The European Hegemony was a somewhat loose alliance formed in the early 22nd century. It has been described as one of the first steps toward a United Earth Government, which was founded in 2150. In the 24th century the European Hegemony no longer existed.
Served in WWIII- European Bloc.


In the 24th century, the European Alliance is a political entity on the European continent on Earth, incorporating the city of Brussels amongst others. It is most likely a successor to the 21st century European Hegemony regime, thought to have been the first stirrings of world government on Earth during this timeframe.

Background
Most probably, the European Alliance incorporates the whole European continent, but the possibility also exists that it is only part of the continent. It then would not be clear if this power ever coexisted with the European Hegemony, or possibly shares some other relation to it.

It remains unknown which competences this alliance carries, since Earth is governed by the United Earth Government since the early 22nd century. However, the European Alliance might state a joint effort of the European people to create a unified administration and representation at the global government and, thus, might be very similar to the European Union.

The primary difference being the improved Propulsion technology absent from the DY-100 class freighter.
A model of a DY-100 appeared on a window sill of the office where Rain Robinson worked, at the Griffith Observatory in California in 1996. (VOY: "Future's End") A photograph of a DY-100 launch was in the 602 Club, along with many other space achievements, like the NX-Alpha, the Phoenix, and USS Enterprise (XCV 330).
 
The SS Wyvern made a total of 6524 cargo and passenger trips during her operational lifetime. She was originally Commanded By Darius Barlowe, who helped to establish trade routes with the Arcturian Empire.

Antares-class freighter was a old-style warp-capable freighter utilized by the Federation during the 23rd-24th century.


These vessels, which could be maintained with a crew of 18, had limited range and speed, capable of traveling no more than fifteen light years in a single day. They were used primarily for short interstellar transport, although a few were later refitted with better engines. This class of vessel never saw widespread popularity as they were difficult to maintain and slow to operate.

This is the first Wyvern vessel to officially bear the "USS" prefix before her name. The USS Wyvern of this class and type was Commanded by Yolanda Parks and was refitted in 2270 to utilize the newer improved warp engines.
These vessels, which could be maintained with a crew of 18, had limited range and speed, capable of traveling no more than fifteen light years in a single day.
 
Eventually the vessel entered service with Starfleet and became a fast response cargo carrier. She participated in several emergency supply lifts during the Efrosian Famine and the Katar Revolts. She was decommissioned and scrapped in 2300.

The USS Wyvern (NCC-660066), was the first vessel in starfleet, other than a freighter to bear the name. She served with distinction in several small scirmishes. While investigating a temporal anamoly in 2348, she went missing. After three years without a sign of her whereabouts she was presumed lost. She was commanded by captain Mylarma Por'Ghat.

After the loss of the prior Wyvern, the newest USS Wyvern was commissioned at Utopia Planatia on Stardate 2360.10.15 and was designated with the -A suffix. The vessel was involved in several small actions while assigned as a security Patrol vessel during the Federation Civil War.
The Nebula-class was a type of Federation starship that was in service in Starfleet during the latter half of the 24th century. Its design is closely related to that of the Galaxy-class.

Some Nebula-class starships, including the USS Phoenix used a high-energy sensor sweep that cycled every 5.5 minutes. Between each of those cycles, a "window" of 1/50th of a second would open, requiring the ship's shields to be realigned. The specialized superstructure seen on the Phoenix configuration is a high powered sensor module.

In 2370, the theoretical maximum speed for the warp drive of Nebula-class starships, including the USS Prometheus was warp 9.5. When fine tuned, the warp drive could be pushed to warp 9.6.

By 2374, Nebula-class ships were refitted. The major changes were a more Galaxy-class style secondary hull and deflector dish. The Wyvern was refitted at this time. Several of these refitted Nebula-class starships were a part of a Federation assault fleet that was assembled to stop the Cardassians from driving the Federation out of the Chin'toka system.
The Wyvern was commanded by Captain Angela Smithwick until Stardate 2407.03.14, when Captain Smithwick was relieved of her command by her First Officer Commander [[Martin O'Shea]]. The Wyvern was subsequently damaged in a battle with the [[USS Champlain]] and captured by that Vessel. The ship was temporarily commanded by Lieutenant Junior Grade [[Jono Janeway]] with a skeleton crew from the Champlain.


The vessel was put into dock at Starbase Geneva where she was repaired and recommissioned under the same name and registry number by the 52nd Fleet. When the repairs to the vessel were completed, she was crewed and command of the Vessel turned over to the newly promoted Captain [[Martin O'Shea]]. Captain O'She was ordered to join [[Task Force 19]] for the assault on the [[Mars Defence Perimeter]] and [[Sector 001]] in an attempt to bring an end to the Federation Civil War.

Several of these refitted Nebula-class starships were a part of a Federation assault fleet that was assembled to stop the Dominion and the Breen from driving the Federation Alliance out of the Chin'toka system.  


Captain O'Shea commanded his ship in the thrust to protect the [[USS Bouddica]] during her fight for Valhalla Station in the [[Sol|Sol System]]. During that conflict, she became involved in a conflict to support the [[USS Champlain]] against the [[USS Persephone]], which had pressed the attack against the Champlain while she was abandoning ship, as a result of a wrap core breach in progress.


In order to provide the crew of the Champlain time to evacuate their ship, despite the Persephone's intentions to destroy the damaged ship, O'Shea ordered the Wyvern to intercede. The smaller [[Nebula Class]] ship positioned itself firmly in the Persephone's attack path and fought the larger [[Prometheus Class]] ship as long as she could.


While the ship was nearly destroyed and almost all her crew killed, they were successful in fending off the larger vessel long enough to allow the evacuation of the [[USS Champlain]]. As a result of his actions, [[Rank|Captain]] [[Martin O'Shea|O'Shea]] was awarded the Starfleet Shield.


The Ship was repaired, refit and placed back into service. She currently serves in the 52nd Fleet as a medium class Escort.


'''Technical Manual'''
It remains unclear what the function of the USS Phoenix's superstructure was. Most fan speculation designates it as a sensor module, similar in function to an AWACS, which may explain why the ship used a "high-energy sensor sweep."
