Service history
Edit
In the year 2264, the Copernicus was used by Captain Kirk to retrieve Amelinda Lukarian and Stephen from the alien worldship. (TOS novel: Enterprise: The First Adventure)
In 2266, the Copernicus was used to search for the missing Captain Kirk, who had disappeared on Tlaoli IV. (TOS - The Janus Gate novel: Future Imperfect)
In 2267, the Copernicus was attacked by the Klingon D'kar, son of Kor, and forced to land on a previously uncharted planet. (TOS short story: "The Leader")
In 2270, the Copernicus was used to transport a Slaver stasis box to Starbase 25. (TAS episode: "The Slaver Weapon")
- Startrek.com gives the Copernicus the registry of NCC-1701A/3, the shuttle number from Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, despite using the image from the episode showing the NCC-1701-12 registry.
Later that year, the Copernicus was destroyed when Spock attempted to use it to stop a fleet deployed by the Isitri Council to attack Isitra Colony First and Captain Kirk was forced to open fire on the Copernicus. (TOS novel: Troublesome Minds)
