USS Diligent (NCC-97314)
While research and development activities typically occur on starbases and outposts within Federation territory, sometimes the greatest discoveries are made amongst the stars. This is the mission of the Polaris Squadron.
While research and development activities typically occur on starbases and outposts within Federation territory, sometimes the greatest discoveries are made amongst the stars. This is the mission of the Polaris Squadron.
The USS Diligent is an Alita-class heavy escort that augments Polaris Squadron with significant tactical capabilities to defend the research unit from threats that lurk on the frontier. Typically, the USS Diligent deploys alongside the USS Polaris to safeguard the flagship, but it may deploy as tactical support for the USS Ingenuity when the smaller research vessel breaks away to conduct independent missions.
The stories of Polaris Squadron are rated 2-2-2 for mature subject matter, including violence, language and sexual content.
Polaris Squadron is a multi-mission flag squadron under the command of Fleet Admiral Allison Reyes that supports two specialized units and three overall mission profiles:
The flagship of Polaris Squadron is the USS Polaris, an Odyssey-class heavy explorer that hosts the Advanced Science, Technology and Research Activity, and the headquarters of Polaris Squadron is Archanis Station, a Canopus-class starbase from whence sector operations of the Archanis Sector are managed.
