A contemporary and versatile upgrade to one of Starfleet's most legendary explorers, the heavy cruiser Al-Batani serves proudly as the tactical element of Hypatia Division, spearheading the squadron's exploration of deep space and beyond.
USS Al-Batani is an Excelsior-II-class heavy cruiser assigned as the tactical and rapid-response element of the Fourth Fleet’s Hypatia Division. Continuing a long and proud legacy, she is the third vessel to bear the proud Al-Batani name, made famous as a former posting of the legendary Kathryn Janeway. Representing a contemporary and versatile upgrade to the iconic Excelsior-class starships of yesteryear, she is an adaptable ship taking on a path of her own in these challenging times, operating in some of the most dangerous areas of the galaxy.
Looking to make a name for themselves in the annals of history, the crew are a mixture of fresh-faced youngsters excelling in their fields of study, and wily veterans looking for an opportunity to cement their legacies. With the ship currently operating out of the Shackleton Expanse, she is tasked with traversing an area of space ripe for scientific exploration and missions of a first-contact nature.
The stories of Hypatia Division are rated 2-2-2 for mature subject matter, including some moderate violence, language and sexual content.
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.
