The auxiliary vessel for the USS Sirius, the Alhabor is sleek, fast, and adaptable. As with most attached Aquarius-class escorts, the Alhabor provides direct support to her Odyssey-class mothership, undertaking duties such as patrol, defence, scouting, or survey missions. Her crew is drawn from the Sirius, officers assigned on an ad hoc basis, including command staff, depending on the needs of the mission and deployment, and when undertaking such duties, it is rare for the Alhabor to deploy away from the Sirius for more than a few weeks, and often much less.
The Alhabor’s secondary duty, however, is to provide a platform for Sirius Squadron’s Reconnaissance Operations and Covert Action Section (ROCAS), commonly referred to as the Rooks. A five-person team of specialists, the Rooks may be deployed on tactical operations and missions of subterfuge, but also complex away missions requiring scientific or engineering expertise. Under the leadership of Commander Hal Cassidy, the Rooks, when needed, deploy aboard the Alhabor to make use of her speed and facilities to respond to emergent situations. While this often occurs during the course of the Sirius’s or squadron’s operations, missions can include independent and long-term deployments when and where the Rooks’ expertise is necessary. As such, the Alhabor serves as the formal home of the Rooks, although their day-to-day operations are based off the Sirius, and they will routinely use the flagship’s other auxiliary craft depending on mission requirements.

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 Liberty, fulfils dedicated exploratory or scientific missions. The divisions may deploy independently or in support of one another, depending on operational needs.
