USS Thyanis
The USS Thyanis is a Raven-class corvette assigned under the jurisdiction of Task Force 93. As such, it is primarily tasked with humanitarian work throughout the former Romulan Neutral Zone. In 2400, it came under the command of then-Ensign Kurios Cimozjen. Before this time it was under the command of Thevius.
Mission History (2400-present)
Early Encounters
The earliest encounters of the Thyanis in the former Romulan Neutral Zone were mostly involving dealing with folks affected by the disruption caused following the fall of the Romulan Star Empire. As captain of the ship, Kurios and his XO engaged in establishing trade, and helped to resolve issues of malnutrition and disease among several colonies throughout the region. As a part of Task Force 93, this fell well within both the skills of the Starfleet doctor and within the parameters set by the Fourth Fleet's chain of command.
Crew Complement
The crew of the Thyanis is only 20 strong, and as such the needs and the abilities of the crew are both affected. The crew has a greater focus on the medical and engineering careers, with only a handful of Starfleet officers specializing in particular fields. Many of the crew are of lower ranks to the point that its captain, Kurios, once called it a "can of Ensigns". This quip was a mild misnomer however, as at least a quarter of the crew were cadets or crewman.
Interestingly, despite being a ship providing humanitarian support to the former Romulan Neutral Zone, the crew itself could easily find itself in the care of only a old first generation EMH. This was considered a bit grim, given the antiquated unit was already being phased out back in 2374. As such, it was taken as a bit of black humor among some of the crew that nobody should get injured unless they wanted to be 'walking dead'. The attitude was not helped with the tendency of her captain to be involved in away missions or otherwise be indisposed.
Vessel Configuration
Other than being equipped with a slightly more spacious sickbay and a surprisingly cramped 'ready room', most of the space of the Thyanis remains unaltered from a typical ship of its class. This is because the need to be able to move food, supplies, or other materiel outweighed the needs to alter the vessel significantly to fit expanded mission parameters. As such, she lacks more advanced scientific facilities as one might expect of a ship that could become a triage center in an emergency.
