Bravo Fleet
USS Ingenuity (NCC-97603)
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.
USS Ingenuity
Pathfinder-class • NCC-97603 • Polaris Advanced Research Squadron • Fourth Fleet • Managed by FADM James Neidlinger
The USS Ingenuity is a Pathfinder-class science vessel that provides the Advanced Science, Technology and Research Activity with small, flexible and nimble vessel for research. While often working alongside the full squadron, the USS Ingenuity may operate independently when the Polaris is otherwise engaged or when the large size of the flagship is a limiting factor.
The stories of Polaris Squadron are rated 2-2-2 for mature subject matter, including violence, language and sexual content.
Polaris Advanced Research Squadron
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 Advanced Science, Technology and Research Activity (ASTRA), a specialized cross-functional research unit that exists to fuel Starfleet’s innovation engine through discovery, investigations and interactions on the frontier.
- The Advanced Unit for Reconnaissance, Operations and Response Activities (AURORA), a special operations unit that exists to collect intelligence and conduct clandestine operations within the borderlands and wherever else the mission leads.
- Archanis Sector Operations, including engineering, diplomatic and security functions as the Fourth Fleet seeks to rehabilitate aging infrastructure, strengthen relationships with borderlands colonies and neighboring powers, and strengthen its security posture within the sector.
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.

The stars raced by impossibly fast, the USS Juno pushing warp 9.99, a speed the cruiser was built to maintain only in short bursts, but that they’d been pushing for three days straight. A lithe chief petty officer with beady eyes stood at the back of the bridge, quietly observing the others [...]

“Pick the folks best at insurgency ops, the ones that’ll blow shit up and won’t balk at collateral damage,” Fleet Admiral Reyes said as she thought back to Captain Kioshi’s warning. Ten for one, he’d said. That’s how many they promised to kill for each of [...]
