Bravo Fleet
Expeditionary Group
Not Applicable-class • NONE- • Managed by ADM Alexander Beckett
The Fourth Fleet Expeditionary Group is the Fourth Fleet’s designated elite multi-mission response force, with a collection of starships and forward support bases meant to be able to quickly and effectively handle the fleet’s most delicate and time-sensitive missions, wherever they are in the galaxy. These assets are assigned to the Fourth Fleet but not to a particular task force, and undertake a wide variety of missions across the galaxy that don’t necessarily fit neatly into the mandate of one of the fleet’s other units. Units in the expeditionary group take their orders individually from Fourth Fleet Command through the group’s commander or the Director of Fourth Fleet Operations, generally getting assignments that require some combination of discretion and special capabilities.
The Expeditionary Group is a writing sandbox for members of Bravo Fleet who want to collaboratively write starship crew-based stories. Eligible members may request a ship of the Expeditionary Group for a single mission, proposing a story concept and activity plan, and gather other members to write it with them. Once a mission is concluded, the group is dispersed, and the ship is available again for other members to request. IC, the Expeditionary Group assigns crews, or at least command staff, to ships for specific missions on temporary assignment.
This sandbox means that members can organise as writers, players, and/or GMs for collaborative writing or role-playing without significant commitment. Missions will not last more than a few months, and while members may propose subsequent missions with the same players, characters, and ships, this format avoids the demands of long-term investment and energy of more traditional Star Trek RPGs.
The Expeditionary Group is ideal for GMs who want to develop their skills, try something new, or have a concept for a single mission. Individual members can write with a new group, take a character on a single adventure, join a mission concept that intrigues them, or enjoy a short-term commitment to the intensity of RP writing.

“I’ve got this rash, doc,” Kellin said. Sheepishly, he grimaced at her and ducked his chin down. Despite his height, Kellin was sat far enough back on the biobed to let his legs dangle off the side of it. He folded his uniform jacket in his lap, each fold crisp and precise. In his [...]

As Kellin Rayco stepped through the holosuite archway, the illusion of interstellar space stretched over the cramped compartment’s true dimensions. Because he was wearing a standard duty uniform in black and crimson –rather than an environmental suit– the simulation of [...]

“I don’t mean to alarm you, lieutenant,” Kellin Rayco said softly. To emphasise his point, he straddled one of the stools at the science lab’s only collaborative workstation. He made himself smaller, rolling his shoulders forward and tucking his long legs under the workstation’s [...]
