USS Sentinel

Intrepid-class • NCC-74673 • Valhalla Heavy Escort Division • Task Force 86 • Managed by CDR Aoife McKenzie

The USS Sentinel, an Intrepid-class starship, was commissioned in 2371 under the command of Captain Michael Anderson. The ship was designed for long-range exploration, science missions, and as a testbed for some of Starfleet’s latest technology. Throughout its early years, the Sentinel distinguished itself as a highly capable vessel, participating in numerous missions and assignments throughout the Alpha and Beta quadrants. The Sentinel played a critical role in the Dominion War, serving as part of the Ninth Fleet in several major engagements, including the Second Battle of Chin’toka. The ship suffered heavy damage in the conflict, and many of its crew were killed or injured. Despite these setbacks, the Sentinel remained in service, undergoing extensive repairs and upgrades at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards.

In 2401, after completing a major refit, the Andromeda was assigned to Captain Órlaith Murphy and assigned to the 4th Fleet’s “Valhalla Squadron” of Task Force. Given a second chance at command, Captain Órlaith Murphy left Starfleet Academy as a pilot instructor.  Will this second shot at the center seat bring success to her and the Sentinel?  Only time will tell.

Jennifer “Jenn” Douglas stood in her undergarments and stared at the uniform laid out on the bed with her hands resting on her hips. The only sound was the hum of air vents. A faint tang of ozone filled the temporary quarters aboard Starbase 86. That cool air whispered past her bare [...]

It was late… or perhaps it was early? Órlaith mused as she stared out the crew lounge into the inky blackness of space; streaks of light from the warp effect zipped past the observation-style windows. The lounge was quiet, not silent. The familiar, comforting hum of the ship’s systems [...]

Dese stepped out into the corridor and sighed inwardly, not wanting to show her disappointment. She had hoped she would meet with Captain Murphy, not just be asked to babysit her kids. She paused for a moment as she realized if she did well looking after the kids, then it would more than likely put [...]
