Editing USS Brilliant (section)

==USS Brilliant and the Starfleet 52nd==

The USS Brilliant was one of the various [[Defiant Class]] vessels produced to act as a short range heavy fighter/Escort starship. It was placed under the command of [[Rank|Commander]] T'Pa, a Vulcan officer who had a no nonsense approach to the chain of command. The initial crew were joined by members of [[Elenor Night]]'s garduating class, and a rotating complement of 120 staff was earmarked once the vessel was assigned to [[Starbase Geneva]] and the Resupply fleet. As a result of the 52nd fleet's actions, the rotating staff has been whittled down to 70, as officers and crew are transferred to the other ships in the 52nd fleet.
