USS Tempest
Rhode Island-class • NCC-84705 • Liberty Science and Exploration Division • Sirius Expeditionary Squadron • Fourth Fleet • Managed by ADM Alexander Beckett
The USS Tempest NCC-84705 is a Rhode Island-class scout assigned to Sirius Squadron. Part of the squadron’s Science and Exploration Division, Tempest is a dedicated exploration and cultural investigations ship specialising in A&A (Anthropology and Archaeology) assignments. Under the command of seasoned scientist Captain Pentecost, the Tempest undertakes assignments of historical study, cultural exploration, and missions surrounding first contact, from preparation to execution to immediate aftermath. At a time when relations with Federation neighbours are strained, she is often part of collaborative research missions with allies, sharing Starfleet expertise to help expand cultural and historical understanding.
At present, much of her duties keep her on the borders with the Romulan Republic and the Klingon Empire, venturing into their space or beyond as needed, furthering Starfleet’s understanding of these rarely accessed regions of space, and the cultures that live there.
Sirius Expeditionary Squadron
Sirius Expeditionary Squadron is a unit centered around the Odyssey-class USS Sirius under the command of Commodore Matt Rourke. Sirius Squadron stands ready to deploy outside or on 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 main unit, organised around the Sirius herself, is an element of several powerful ships each able to take the lead or act independently depending on the mission’s needs. Deployed together, they are a supremely well-rounded and capable unit. Two additional divisions provide specialist support. The first, headed by the USS Redemption, acts as an operations element to provide engineering, humanitarian, or diplomatic services. The second, headed by the USS Memphis, fulfils dedicated exploratory or scientific missions. The divisions may deploy independently or in support of one another, depending on operational needs.

The world flashed bright with transporter light, then went black. They’d beamed from the transporter room on the Tempest in EV suits, the hum of the ship, each other’s movements, the chirruping of systems background noise even when nobody had spoken.

The nebula was no longer the distant, abstract feature of star charts and sensor compositions. Ketha’s Shroud unfurled before the Tempest’s viewscreen in an immense, hazy cloud, strands of green and gold curling like ink in water, punctuated by flashes of pale lightning running through the [...]

The rec room was already loud by the time Renard slipped inside, though not from any talent on display. The first few volunteers for the open mic night had been coaxed up with more good-natured heckling than applause, and the crew’s laughter was at the expense of their peers rather than for them. [...]

The archaeology lab had been stripped of its usual clutter, as the Tempest’s favoured research space, and turned into something like a war room. Holographic maps and overlays hung in the air, nebula gas rendered in clouds of green and violet, the Glenmore’s telemetry streaking paths across it. [...]
