USS Columbia (Archive)

Task Force 17 • Managed by FCAPT Noli Auru

Once the pride of Starfleet, the ageing Galaxy-class Columbia has seen better days. One of the original six ships of her type that were ordered but remained incomplete, Columbia finally entered service over a decade late, in time to play a significant role in the Dominion War. With her 30th birthday rapidly approaching, Columbia remains a highly sought-after posting, with personnel often waiting years to be granted a place aboard ship, and having undergone a series of refits over the years she remains one of the fleet’s largest and most sophisticated exploration platforms.

Assigned to Task Force 17 of the Fourth Fleet, Columbia plays a preeminent role in exploring new frontiers and establishing new colonies and settlements for the Federation’s ever-growing populace. A new threat from the Klingon Empire will soon bring the mighty behemoth face to face with a hostile former ally.

The stories of Columbia Explorer Division are rated 2-2-2 for mature subject matter, including some moderate violence, language and sexual content.

Time, ever more fleeting with each passing moment in battle, played on the minds of hundreds of Starfleet officers across the ship. Smoke plumes filled corridors. Raging infernos sealed bulkheads. Conduits collapsed while EPS relays exploded. From the depths of deck 42 to the heights of the bridge [...]

Under siege and devastated by the massive Vaadwaur assault on the system, Andoria now resembled something of a pyre among the stars. Fire and brimstone rained as Starfleet and the Imperial Guard struggled to mount any kind of defence in the early stages of the enemy onslaught. Armageddon, if you [...]
