UES Kimbe

The Kimbe was an Intrepid-class United Earth Starfleet starship in service during the mid-22nd century, under the command of Captain Erica Miller. It was among the first ships lost in the Xindi Conflict, during the Battle of the Northland Relay.

Service
The Kimbe was constructed at New Berlin, Hamburg-system in 2147, under command of Captain Erica Miller. The vessel was christened in honor of capital of the province of West New Britain, Papua New Guinea.

Her first assignment was the construction of waystations around the Hamburg system, allowing for New Berlin to begin massive industrialization and to become the industrial heartland of the Sirius Sector.

In 2151, the Kimbe escorted passenger transports containing the first two-thousand Tenctonese colonists to Albany, Groombridge 34-system, to help in the newly terraformed colony's industrial growth.

In 2152, the Kimbe prevented its patron port of New Berlin from furthering the still young Sigma Helium-3 War with fellow colony New Tokyo, when the Rheinland colonists launched an all-out war to seize the gas fields of the Sigma systems. With the UES Enterprise and Essex, they managed to avert the war.

Destruction
The Kimbe was ultimately lost during the Battle of the Northland Relay, the first direct fleet combat between the Xindi and the pre-Coalition powers. Following the Xindi First Strike, Battle of Vega, the Bombing of Threllvia IV and Massacre of Fi'von, the allied Vulcan 9th Destroyer Group, the Andorian 2nd Frigate Squadron and newly formed United Earth 1st Fleet launched the offensive action against the Xindi on 9 August 2153. The United Earth, Andorian Empire and Vulcan Confederacy forces took heavy damage but the timely arrival of a Hiigaran, Cylon, Tellarite, Suliban, Vissan, Denobulan, Colonial and Krios fleet also tracking the Xindi attacks back to their source, turned the tide and allowed the allied forces to capture the Mass Relay.

The newly allied fleet loses numbered eight vessels destroyed including the Kimbe, against the Xindi's total of nine, including one of the largest Xindi-Aquatic battleships. Captain Miller and her entire crew were killed.
