STARSHIP NAME	REGISTRY NUMBER		INFO
U.S.S. Brattain (U.S.S. Brittain)	NCC-21166		Commanded by Captain Chantal Zaheva. The Brattain mysteriously disappeared in 2367 and was found trapped in a Tyken's Rift near a binary star system by Enterprise-D personnel. All but one of the Brattain crew were discovered dead, apparently having brutally killed each other. Autopsies conducted by Dr. Beverly Crusher revealed unusual chemical imblalances in their brains, apparently due to severe REM sleep deprivation, believed to be the cause of the bizarre violence. The REM sleep loss was found to be a side effect of an attempt by an alien ship to communicate from the Tyken's Rift. The alien intelligence had apparently been trying to enlist the Brattain crew to help both ships escape the rift. TNG "Night Terrors" The dedication plaoue on the Brattain's bridge said that the ship had been built by Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems, and bore the motto, "...a three hour tour, a three hour tour." The ship's name on the model was spelt "Brittain" by mistake. The model was a re-dress of the U.S.S. Reliant from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, with minor modifications.
