Bravo Fleet
USS Babylon (NCC-82254)
These are the voyages of the USS Babylon. Its ongoing mission: to explore ruined worlds; to seek out remnants of life and lost civilizations; to trepidatiously go where the dead have walked before.
USS Babylon
Grissom-class • NCC-82254 • Task Force 17 • Managed by CAPT Khim Samnang
USS Babylon is a Grissom-class surveyor assigned to Task Force 17 under the command of Captain Sanjiv Anand. Ostensibly intended for deep space mapping assignments, the Babylon’s primary mission is to follow up on reports of extinct civilizations on the edge of Federation space and determine if further study of these locations would be safe and ethical.
The blue dusk ran between the streets; my love was winged within my mind;
It left to-day and yesterday and thrice a thousand years behind.
To-day was past and dead for me for from to-day my feet had run
Through thrice a thousand years to walk the ways of ancient Babylon.
On temple top and palace roof the burnished gold flung back the rays
Of a red sunset that was dead and lost beyond a million days.
…
Oh, light our life in Babylon, but Babylon has taken wings,
While we are in the calm and proud procession of eternal things.
– ‘Babylon’ by George William Russell

Varjokh Dream of Eclectic Horta
USS Babylon and USS Olympic
In Anand’s decades of experience, he found that when he woke up, he was almost always lying down somewhere. Usually it was in a bed, but he did occasionally wake up in a sleeping bag, or on a cot, or on the floor, or once in a bathtub. He had never woken up standing in the middle of a forest [...]

USS Babylon and USS Olympic
Saffiya’s appreciation of home increased in direct proportion to the temporal and geographical distance between her and it. From far away, it was warm and welcoming and exactly as she remembered it. Up close, it was just home, and usually failed to live up to the brochure in her head. Today, [...]

USS Babylon and USS Olympic
Pink, teal, and violet flames danced on liquid torches scattered around the clearing, planted in ley lines that the Varjokh couldn’t quite explain to the visitors. The method of calculation was too archaic and obscure. A subject for another ship’s mission, perhaps. The light from the chromatic [...]

USS Babylon and USS Olympic
As soon as he’d been alerted that the Olympic was entering orbit, Anand had tossed a “you have the bridge” over his shoulder to Bohkat and dashed into his ready room. If he were the first one to send out a greeting, then he wouldn’t have to listen to Szarka at communications announce an [...]
