USS Swiftsure

Echelon-class • NCC-97410 • Sirius Expeditionary Squadron • Fourth Fleet

The USS Swiftsure (NCC-97410) is an Echelon-class light cruiser assigned to Sirius Squadron. Her primary duty is the support of other squadron ships and missions, providing extensive logistical and engineering capabilities with her industrial replicators and large complement of smallcraft. Swiftsure is captained by Commander Thabo Xhakaza, who, like many of his young crew, was rapidly promoted in the wake of Frontier Day. The inexperience of this crew is balanced by one of the ship’s core duties for Sirius Squadron: serving as the mobile operations centre for the Starfleet Corps of Engineers unit when needed. Under such circumstances, SCE unit leader Commander Cortez has mission and operational command.

Sirius Expeditionary Squadron

Sirius Expeditionary Squadron is a unit centered around the Odyssey-class USS Sirius under the command of Commodore Matt Rourke. Sirius Squadron stands ready to deploy outside or on the fringes of Federation territory at short notice to respond to emerging situations across the galaxy. With multiple versatile and powerful ships at its disposal, the squadron can operate independently and without support for extended periods, and is flexible enough to face a range of missions, including under volatile circumstances where objectives and conditions can quickly change. While this profile often leads Sirius Squadron to respond to geopolitical crises, the unit’s versatility make it equally suited emergent scientific investigations.

The main unit, organised around the Sirius herself, is an element of several powerful ships each able to take the lead or act independently depending on the mission’s needs. Deployed together, they are a supremely well-rounded and capable unit. Two additional divisions provide specialist support. The first, headed by the USS Redemption, acts as an operations element to provide engineering, humanitarian, or diplomatic services. The second, headed by the USS Liberty, fulfils dedicated exploratory or scientific missions. The divisions may deploy independently or in support of one another, depending on operational needs.
