Service history and disposition[]
Namesakes[]
Like all Luna-class starships, the Rhea was named after a moon in the Sol star system. Rhea was a moon of the planet Saturn. The moon itself was named for the Titan Rhea of Greek mythology, the mother of the Greek gods. (TNG novel: Greater Than the Sum)
In the 23rd century, a Loknar-class class VIII frigate held the name, the USS Rhea. This ship was active around the 2270s. (FASA RPG module: Federation Ship Recognition Manual)
Active service[]
The first batch of Luna-class starships entered service in the year 2379. (TTN novel: Taking Wing Luna Class Concept Notes)
First Splinter timeline[]
In September 2380 of the First Splinter[6] timeline, the Rhea was on an exploratory mission to the open cluster NGC 6281 when it encountered an unidentified lifeform, later dubbed Noh Angels. During their initial encounter with the creatures on NGC 6281-34 III, the Rhea was attacked in orbit by the assimilated Einstein. Held in a state of extreme time dilation, in subspace stasis bubble by the cluster's sentient intelligence at the moment of the assault, the vessel was eventually recovered thanks to the efforts of the USS Enterprise-E and the Liberated vessel Liberator. Over 100 of the Rhea's crew were killed by the attacking Borg drones, with approximately 80 suffering serious injuries. Around sixty had been partially assimilated, but were purged of their implants. The surviving crewmembers were transported back to Federation space by quantum slipstream. (TNG novel: Greater Than the Sum)
On 16 April 2384 (stardate 61263.6), the Rhea discovered a Collector obelisk while performing a biosphere survey on an unnamed planet. Captain Bazel and science officer Lieutenant Kyeera Janyl decided to transport the obelisk to the Rhea until a Starfleet slipstream courier could arrive to transport it to the Department of Temporal Investigations.
