For Detailed Information on Starship Twilight, see Nova Class Technical Manual.

Regular missions for U.S.S. Twilight include routine planetary survey missions, with an emphasis on medical research; counterintelligence against biogenic weapons; surveillance, and courier missions. The ship is specially outfitted for these types of missions. On a typical medical rescue mission, aboard there are two sickbays, fourteen science labs, and a medical staff which includes two doctors (plus her captain makes three), two registered nurses, and eleven other health specialists, with an EMH. Upon onset of the Dominion War, Twilight was outfitted with 20 quantum torpedoes and four Valkyrie starfighters.

Starfleet Intelligence File, Stardate 46005.01 (January 14, 2369): Dr. Harker was a Lt. Cmdr. on a classified mission aboard Twilight, sent to hunt down and destroy the Adamant into the past, to 2268. (Adamant was Defiant-Class, no crew, with the old AI M-5 computer in total command.  Her decks were flooded with a biogenic weapon designed by Section 31, to slaughter the Cardassian race a century in the past, before they could join the Founders in the Dominion War.  Adm. Uhura sent Twilight after the ship to stop it by any means necessary.)   With M-5 guiding her pulse-phaser cannons, the Adamant attacked from directly above, and blew out the transparent aluminum dome of the Bridge, instantly killing all senior officers, except for Harker and Chief Engineer Richard Drake who were below decks (and both SI agents.)  Harker, a line-officer and most senior ranking officer left aboard, found himself in charge of both the mission and the Nova-Class ship—his first command. Dr. Harker was originally sent to find a cure for the biogenic weapon, while Lt. Drake was one of the designers of the Defiant-Class, sent to destroy the ship itself. Fortunately, Harker was aided by Captain James T. Kirk and the original Starship Enterprise. They completed the mission, and upon returning to the present (2269) Uhura promoted Harker to the rank of full commander, assigned him to a crash course in commanding a starship, and awarded him command of Twilight.
