USS Cardenas (NCC-86419)

Recently relaunched from Avalon Fleet Yards following a minor refit, which coincided with the opening of a new frontier of exploration, the Cardenas now finds itself embroiled among the machinations of people, both friend and foe, who seek to destabilise the Shackleton Expanse...

USS Cardenas

Reliant-class • NCC-86419 • Hypatia Research Cruiser Division • Task Force 47 • Managed by FCAPT Keziah Nazir

Commissioned in 2392 with a name that harkens back to a bygone era, the USS Cardenas is a recognisable and essential part of the new Starfleet era. Named after one of the toughest ships of the golden age of exploration, Cardenas‘ role as a frigate sees her performing patrol duties across the Federation and on borders shared with friends and enemies alike. When not on patrol, Cardenas and her blend of veterans and inexperienced personnel can be found conducting scientific surveys, ferrying dignitaries to diplomatic engagements and transporting precious cargo.

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

Hypatia Research Cruiser Division

With the fall of the Shroud, Hypatia Division operates out of Framheim Station in the Shackleton Expanse, tasked with flying the Starfleet flag in some of the region’s most tumultuous areas, beginning with a mission to tackle a violent, expansionist species known as the Draxan Imperium.

“Your new commanding officer will be Captain Noli Auru.” Silence gripped the observation lounge as the yellow cursor blinked at the end of the message emblazoned on the wall mounted display. Prenar regarded each officer around the table closely while they tried to make sense of what they had [...]

The Peace We Keep

Most Klingon warships would be, at the very least, frustrated that they’d been essentially allocated to babysitting a bunch of Starfleet vessels on scientific duties. Where was the glory in watching sensor screens and sitting around for someone to come to you? The silence was maddening, [...]

Burning rays from the system’s star beat upon the dunes of Nareen’s surface, heating the sand to such an extent that the heat permeated the rubber soles of the boots that trudged through the mounds. If one stood around too long they were at risk of more than burnt feet, though. Dehydration was [...]
