USS Redemption

Sovereign-class • NCC-78240 • Redemption Exploratory Cruiser DivisionSirius Expeditionary Squadron • Fourth Fleet • Managed by ADM Alexander Beckett

The USS Redemption (NCC-78240) is a Sovereign-class exploratory cruiser assigned to the Fourth Fleet under the command of Fleet Captain Addison Faust and a part of Sirius Squadron. After extensive refits to modernise her systems, the Redemption is a powerful and well-armed ship, and is responsible for the unit’s tactical and strategic operations. This entails not only the immediate of the Federation border, with the Redemption overseeing patrol and pirate-hunting duties to ensure the safety of Federation citizens and interests in the region. The ship has also been directed to support the Romulan Republic, lately threatened by the increased aggression of the Klingon Empire, and conducts joint operations to shore up the defences of the Federation’s allies. When not responding to emerging threats or on deployment with the squadron, Redemption remains close to the Midgard border to uphold Starfleet’s commitments and interests in Federation and Republic space.

Sirius Expeditionary Squadron

Sirius Expeditionary Squadron is a unit centered around the Odyssey-class USS Sirius under the command of Commodore Matt Rourke and oversight of Director of Squadron Operations Vice Admiral Owen Morgan. Sirius Squadron stands ready to deploy outside or at the fringes of Federation territory at short notice to respond to emerging situations across the galaxy. With multiple versatile and powerful ships at its disposal, the squadron can operate independently and without support for extended periods, and is flexible enough to face a range of missions, including under volatile circumstances where objectives and conditions can quickly change. While this profile often leads Sirius Squadron to respond to geopolitical crises, the unit’s versatility make it equally suited emergent scientific investigations.

The HQ unit is organised around the Sirius herself, supported by her attached ship Alhabor, and the headquarters of Gateway Station. Five additional divisions provide specialist support:

The divisions may deploy independently or in support of one another, depending on operational needs.

The Blackout was down. But the battle for Alpha Centauri wasn’t over. The bridge of the Endeavour was a storm barely held at bay. Emergency lights glowed hostile red across consoles, some of them cracked and sparking. Bulkheads groaned under strain. Officers moved with practiced urgency, the [...]
