Destiny

The Destiny is the first starship created by the Brayburn Society and was the first to find its way into deep space, becoming a part of galactic events far beyond its humble place in the universe. It is also the first warp equipped starship owned by the Society, as it lost its initial repulsion engines when it was captured by the Juinah. It was later refit with warp drives, through the generous help of the Gayik'Von, and sent back home to Earth. It's captain was Edmond Clayton, ancestor to Mike Clayton, who was also the founder and first admiral of the fledgling Earthfleet defensive force. The three primary Society scientists responsible for the creation of this ship were Dr. Brahn, Dr. Campbell, and Dr. Bannon. It's later refit as a warp capable starship was brought about through the help of Pelk, Taria, K'Vin, and Viceroy. Destiny is also the first of four known ships in a pre-Earthfleet fleet of defensive ships built by the Society.

Due to the ship's small size, and limited internal free space, they only have room for 10 people at the same time in shared bunks. The captain does not have his own room or private space, but does have a small ready room that can accommodate up to 5 people while sitting, or 10 if standing.

Crew

Known crewmembers of the ship include:

• Edmond Clayton - Captain
• Maxwell Conner - First Officer
• Henrietta Taylor - Operations/Science
• Albert Lent - Chief Engineer
• Charles Smith - Chief Helmsman
• Thomas Dellon - Medtech (ie, paramedic)
• Kendall Jakes - Boatswain/Tactical

The ship itself hosts a total crew of 30 members operating in 3 shifts of 10 crewmembers each, which includes at least one command officer. Crew are cross trained on all stations, and can sometimes be asked to undertake multiple jobs/duties as part of their daily shift rotations, or responsibilities.
