USS Polaris (NCC-80001)
While research and development activities typically occur on starbases and outposts within Federation territory, sometimes the greatest discoveries are made amongst the stars. This is the mission of the Polaris Squadron.
While research and development activities typically occur on starbases and outposts within Federation territory, sometimes the greatest discoveries are made amongst the stars. This is the mission of the Polaris Squadron.
The USS Polaris is an Odyssey-class heavy explorer that serves as the flagship of Polaris Squadron and home of the Advanced Science, Technology and Research Activity. The Polaris is equipped with cutting edge laboratories, sensor suites, and analysis cores that give it near-parity with top-of-the-line R&D facilities, while having a degree of mobility such facilities do not have. It is also well appointed for frontier diplomatic duties, but it has some tactical drawbacks due to its size and purpose that are augmented by Polaris Squadron’s other vessels.
The stories of Polaris Squadron are rated 2-2-2 for mature subject matter, including violence, language and sexual content.
Polaris Squadron is a mission unit under the command of Fleet Admiral Allison Reyes, Director of the Advanced Science, Technology and Research Activity, and Rear Admiral Alex Grayson, Commander of Archanis Sector Operations, that operates under the dual mandate:
The flagship of Polaris Squadron is the USS Polaris, an Odyssey-class heavy explorer that hosts the Advanced Science, Technology and Research Activity, and the headquarters of Polaris Squadron is Archanis Station, a Canopus-class starbase from whence sector operations of the Archanis Sector are managed.

Seven hundred. That was the latest reported number of cases, the number that would soon be dead. Soon though, the lockdown’s effect would start to show. That meant they were just about at the peak. It was time for his next move. The turbolift whirred to life as it ferried Frank Negrescu from his [...]

“Does he know yet?” Fleet Captain Gérard Devreux asked, staring through the plexiglass at their head of astrophysics and exotic sciences. “The results, no,” Dr. James Henderson replied. “But I’m sure he can infer by the fact we’re out here and he’s in [...]

The residents of Archanis Station might have been cowering in fear, but for Dr. Luke Lockwood, the contagion was little more than an afterthought.

For a station that never slept, the stillness was haunting, made more real by the isolation of his hazard suit. With the mask down, it almost felt like an away mission to a derelict station. Except, of [...]
