The ''[[Chandley class]]'' Starship ''Niwen'' was named for [[Admiral]] [[Niwen, Abel|Abel Niwen]], who commanded the Sixth Fleet of the old [[Starfleet (Earth)|United Nations Space Force]] when first contact was made between Earth and [[Tellar Prime|Tellar]]. At the time, a single [[Tellarites|Tellarite]] exploratory warship entered the [[Sol system]], declaring it to have been annexed. Instead of attempting to destroy the ship, Niwen elected to diplomatically welcome the it, while warning that any hostile action would be reciprocated. The Tellarite commander abruptly accepted the offer of friendship and implied military alliance, beginning a long and successful relationship between [[United Earth|Earth]] and Tellar, which eventually resulted in Tellar becoming a founding member of the [[United Federation of Planets]]. Admiral Niwen eventually retired from the service to serve as Earth's first ambassador to Tellar.<ref name="FASA2217"/>

The Federation Starship Niwen, a Chandley class frigate, was manufactured by Chandley Works, Ltd., of England at the San Francisco Fleet Yards on about Reference Stardate 2/1806 (June 2218). The Niwen was named for a famous Human admiral, Abel Niwen.[1]

The Niwen quickly distinguished itself. While temporarily reassigned to Merchant Marine Command, it served as a customs interception flagship, monitoring illegal Orion slave trading activities, confiscating the ships and imprisoning the crews responsible. Following one memorable seizure, the Niwen returned several hundred slaves to Rigel. Though the mission was entirely successful and without impropriety, some of the crewmen jokingly referred to the incident as "the Green Death." The ship also served on picket duty along the Klingon and Romulan Neutral Zones, and patrolled the Talosian perimeter, enforcing General Order Seven by preventing accidental incursions by private Federation vessels.[1]

On Stardate 8347.6[1] (Reference Stardate 2/2110.16 (16 October 2221),[2] while on patrol along the Romulan Neutral Zone, the Niwen responded to a distress call originating from within the Zone. Commodore Michael A. Pollard, the ship's commander at the time, had been led to believe that the signal was coming from a clandestine Star Fleet Intelligence operation by an earlier transmission from Admiral X.W. Sumers at Starbase 20. Upon arrival, however, the Niwen discovered that the base was, in fact, Romulan, and the ship was heavily damaged by a Romulan vessel and a hastily-rigged antimatter explosion designed to destroy the base. Forced to make repairs while escaping the Zone, the Niwen ultimately returned to Federation space with several Romulan survivors, now in custody.[1]

Also at this time, routine maintenance and general overhaul was completed at Starbase 20 on two of the Niwen's shuttlecraft, the Gilgamesh NCC-2306/3 and the Tiamat NCC-2306/5. The command staff of the Niwen at that time included Commander Octavio Julio Soldavilla y Rodriguez, first officer; Lieutenant Commander Elias Y. Hodgkins, communications officer; Lieutenant Commander Hwung Chung Ky, chief engineer; Lieutenant Commander Sarpek, navigator; Lieutenant Commander Henri P. Beaujolais, security chief; Lieutenant Sandra L. Kingman, helmsman; and Lieutenant Shari Shranim, science officer.[1]
