USS Brattain

USS Brattain operates as a Starfleet science vessel that encountered Tyken's Rift, a spatial anomaly blocking sensor scans and propulsion. Its crew experienced hallucinations and erratic behavior from REM sleep deprivation, resulting in total loss. The ship drifts powerless, its logs offering the sole record of the rift's dangers. Starfleet dispatches vessels like the Enterprise to investigate, towing attempts risk extending the anomaly to rescuers.
