USS Kelman
The USS Kelman is a refit Miranda Class starship serving Starfleet as a light escort along the Cardassian - Federation Border near Romulan Space.
In 2414, the Kelman was captained by Commander Liam O'Neill the father of Lieutenant Eian O'Neill assigned to the USS Rosenante. The vessel was called upon to aid the USS Rosenante and the USS Boudicca in their investigation of Borg activity in the Dovek System. However things quickly precipitated into a conflict with the Borg leader, Volus opening a Temporal Vortex and jumping backwards in time.
As a result the Kelman was too late to be instrumental in the battle and subsequent mission as it unfolded. Finding the two ships gone, Commander O'Neill left a relay beacon in place to maintain a vigil for the two vessels while conducting some scans of the system.
When the Rosenante and the Boudicca reappeared a week after they departed, victorious, the Kelman was on-station to render aid. The USS Kelman acted as an escort to the two terribly wounded Starfleet vessels all the way to Starbase 989.
When they were informed that the starbase was unable to accomodate their repair requirements, the Kelman took on the civilians from both ships, who had been staying on the starbase awaiting the return of the two damaged ships. The three vessels then continued on to Starbase Geneva where the Rosenante and the Boudicca were placed in repair slips.
The Kelman remained at Starbase Geneva for a six month availability.
The USS Kelman was first seen in the USS Rosenante and USS Boudicca joint mission Once More Into The Breach
