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

A Dream Unending

The trees were out to get Ixabi, and they were everywhere. Rarely had she seen a capital city like Yovra: instead of plants landscaped as an afterthought into a city’s soft corners, each building, road, and signpost seemed carefully woven into whatever spaces the forest offered. The [...]

A Dream Unending

USS Babylon and USS Olympic

Dreams. Such wispy, feathery things. Creation and destruction played out on a personal scale – one moment nothing, and the next, everything. Or so it should be. So it used to be. This… this was different. It felt lonely. Not that Larta considered herself a socialite, she very much preferred her [...]

“Oh, of course! Fair enough.” Anand nodded. She was probably quite busy. Best to jump right into the crux of the matter. He realized he was fidgeting with his bandage again, and quickly lowered his hands so that they were hopefully out of range of the holo-imager. “Well, I want to [...]

Previously! “Do me a favor and log ‘ruining my day‘ under ‘other duties assigned’. Thanks,” Brennan said, and she–well, she attempted to storm off, but she still had multiple kittens attached, and each one had to be gently unhooked from her clothing as she shuffled out [...]
