The USS Delaware is a Nova Class Science Vessel. A small ship, her compliment is 27 officers and 73 crewmen. Designed to be a planetary and scientific survey vessel, the majority of Nova-class ships focus on research within Federation territory. During the war, the Delaware was assigned to the Seventh Fleet, after it was nearly destroyed to a ship (again) at Betazed. With her sophisticated sensor suites, she made an excellent early warning system for the reforming fleet. She also had top-notch medical and science facilities. However, when she had to fight, she did so valiantly. She took quite a beating during the war with the Dominion and the official reason for coming to K-10 is that she needs major repairs and refit.
The Delaware’s primary mission is research and development, and she is being assigned to K-10 to supplement the top-secret science facility there. The Delaware excels at planetary sciences, investigating anomalies, and gathering data. However, while she is undergoing ‘refit’, she will be outfitted with experimental equipment to ‘examine and evaluate’. In addition, while she is lightly armored compared to most Federation Vessels, she still outclasses most pirates, raiders, and scum that wander the space lanes preying on lightly armed cargo ships. A secondary mission of the Delaware is to ‘show the flag’ and ‘maintain a visible Federation Presence’ on this side of the Wormhole. The Delaware is a traditional, though modern looking ship. She has an arrowhead shaped saucer section and two dorsal nacelle pylons.

The Officer List will be developed as positions are filled. 1st and 2nd Officer will be filled by experienced officers and may also be department heads in their own right. (Most likely will have to be, due to size of crew.) Rough numbers are as follows:
Command 10
Operations
Engineering/Technical 15
Operations/General 10
Security/Tactical 10
Science
Medical/Support 13
Science/Research 42
Officers/Enlisted 27/73
