Do to the Constant unrest with the Romulan Empire and the instability of the Klingon Empire, due to the explosion of Praxis, the Klingom Empire’s prime source of energy, the Federation felt it necessary to create a mobile space station capable of handling repairs, refits, or complete construction and capable of high warp speed.  A tall order indeed.  The T’hy’la is the result of that Federation need.  She is a unique ship.  To date T’hy’la is the only Nelson Class Super Carrier to be constructed.  She is a large ship with a length of 1225 meters, a width of 427 meters, and a height of 171 meters, housing 30 decks.  Although the through carrier design is not unique to the Federation, many of the features of the T’hy’la are quite unique.  She is designed to service, repair, or build any size ship in the fleet up to and including a Galaxy Class Star Ship.

 Twenty years of cruising space has lead to a large collection of notable stories and legends that surround the T’hy’la.  One notable incident involves the assistance that the T’hy’la gave Captain Rumsfelt and the Zuchov during the Aldabarren Smuggling Incident.  Had it not been for the assistance of Captain Jeff Nicolet and the T’hy’la, the Ambassador Class ship would have been lost with all hands to Aldabarren Pirates.  The T’hy’la’s history is richly logged with interesting stories of adventure, daring, and distinguished service.

 The T’hy’la’s present assignment is to patrol the space of the Sol System and act as a training vessel for the crews of soon to be commissioned vessels.  The T’hy’la has many tools to handle this task.  As well as numerous flight simulators, holo decks, and class rooms, the T’hy’la has a host of craft stationed onboard for training as well as specialized duty demands.  they include: 24 shuttles, 12 Wyvern “Hopper Class” Transports-6 type 9 and 6 type 11, 72 Fighters, 24 Razor Class Interceptors, 12 Broadsword Class Multi-Role Fighters, 12 Valkyrie Class Space Superiority Fighters, 12 Peregrine Class Heavy Fighters, 7 Runabouts, 4 Danube Class Cruisers, 2 Orion Scout Ships, and 1 Delta Flyer.  There is a training ship available or can be built for every desirable purpose and crew.  Crews are trained in these craft and then assigned a commissioned craft, depending on the size of the crew.  This craft will either be from T’hy’la’s present inventory of crafts, or can be manufactured on the T’hy’la to meet the duty needs of the new crew.

 The T’hy’la acts as a home base during the trial run period for these Chapters/Craft until they are ready to venture out into deep space on their own.  With the warp speed that T’hy’la has available to it, none of these craft are ever out of range of the T’hy’la’s assistance.  Presently, the T’hy’la is going through a new fitting process.  There has been a recent change of Command and the ship’s crew structure is undergoing a period of review and readjustment.  T’hy’la is currently on a 3 year training mission with an assortment of training crews and is presently spending July in Venus orbit.

 It’s present flight plan will take it from the star Sol to the outer orbit of Pluto.  It will be making stops at every planetary system and utilizing each unique situation that is specific to the planetary system that it is presently in.  Specialized training is scheduled for each environment that T’hy’la will encounter.  Moons as well as all planets will be used in these training exercises.

 As Always adventure will abound over the next three years.  Although the Solar System has been routinely patrolled and explored, surprises always seem to surface during these training missions.  The universe has so much undiscovered mystery to it, that even exploring the Solar System is always a challenge and at times very dangerous.  New discoveries are made on each training mission.
