Assigned to Task Force 47, the USS Stardust is a Pathfinder-class vessel exploring the unknown. Led by Captain Harper N. Brooks, her crew seeks new worlds, forges first contacts, and expands the Federation’s reach—pushing the frontier ever farther into the stars.
The USS Stardust is a Pathfinder-class starship, purpose-built for deep-space exploration, scientific discovery, and bold first-contact missions. Assigned to Task Force 47 within Bravo Fleet, the Stardust embodies the duty and ambition of the organization’s pathfinding mandate.
Under the command of Captain Harper N. Brooks, the Stardust’s mission is to chart unclassified regions beyond the frontier, establish new contact zones, and support both scientific and diplomatic outreach where the Federation’s presence is newly asserted. The ship’s focus is not merely on discovery, but on forging tangible relationships, laying the groundwork for long-term coexistence, and advancing Starfleet’s principles in unknown space.
Key objectives for the Stardust include:
Exploration: Venture into uncharted nebulae, stellar anomalies, and exoplanetary systems to expand Starfleet’s domain of knowledge.
First Contact & Diplomacy: Establish respectful, meaningful relations with new civilizations, acting as an emissary of peace and discovery.
Scientific Advancement: Using her advanced sensors and research labs, the Stardust will investigate phenomena that test the boundaries of current science — from exotic life-forms to new subspace signatures.
Strategic Support for Task Force 47: As part of TF47’s pathfinding operations, the ship provides reconnaissance, mapping, and liaison services that enable Bravo Fleet to safely extend its operational reach.
Within Task Force 47, the Stardust serves as a forward-looking asset. She stands ready to blaze a trail into the unknown, support allied operations, and when necessary, serve as a bulwark of stability in emerging regions. Her crew, transferred from the USS Sausalito and unified under Captain Brooks’s leadership, brings together seasoned professionals and ambitious newcomers alike — all committed to the dual ideals of exploration and duty.
In all her operations, the USS Stardust remains committed to carrying the flag of Starfleet: seeking new life and new civilizations, boldly going where few have ventured, and contributing to a future of knowledge, connection, and shared discovery.
