"So much universe, and so little time." - Terry Pratchett

The USS Cygnus (NCC-71954) is a Nebula-class heavy cruiser currently assigned to the Fourth Fleet's Challenger Squadron. Captain Sofia Vestri was given command of the Cygnus after a few turbulent years for the ship which saw three commanding officers in two years. It's hoped that the experienced Captain Vestri will prove to be a stabilising influence and allow the crew to put the past few difficult years behind them.

Service Chronology

2367: USS Cygnus is commissioned and assigned to operations along the Federation-Cardassian border.
2374: The Dominion War begins.
- Cygnus takes part in the First Battle of Chin'toka.
2375: The Dominion War continues.
- Due to being docked at the Antares Fleet Yards, Cygnus misses out on being present at the Second Battle of Chin'toka. She will not see battle again until Starfleet develops a defence against the Breen energy dampening weapon.
- Cygnus is one of the ships involved in the Battle of Cardassia, the final battle of the Dominion War.
2399: Captain Maxwell Stafford arrives onboard the Cygnus and assumes command.
2400: Captain Stafford is relieved of his command and reassigned to the Fourth Fleet's Office of the Chief of Staff, as the new Deputy CoS. He is replaced by Captain Bane Plase.
2400: After just a few months, Captain Bane is relieved of command and replaced by Captain Daniel L. Graves.
2401: Despite being in command for just a little over a year, Captain Graves is relieved of command by the Fourth Fleet's Chief of Staff, now Rear Admiral Maxwell Stafford. Stafford personally taps Captain Sofia Vestri to take over as the Cygnus commanding officer. His hope is that the much more experienced Captain Vestri will provide the steady pair of hands the crew needs.

-}}The '''USS ''Cygnus''''' is a [[Nebula Class|''Nebula''-class]] heavy cruiser which has seen decades of Starfleet service. After a recent refit, the ship has been assigned to the [[Fourth Fleet]] along the Breen border. As a Federation ship-of-the-line, her mission includes exploration, diplomacy, and defence, and in this often-lawless region, her presence is necessary to keep the peace and show the flag. Tasked with securing the trailing-coreward section of the Alpha Quadrant where the Federation intersects with Tzenkethi, Ferengi, Breen, and Kzinti space, an area that has long been noted for the porousness of the Federation's borders to raiders.

-Thanks to the stabilization of the Barzan wormhole, this region is now home to the only reliable connection between the Alpha and Delta Quadrants, which has significantly upset the balance of power, and so the border is more dangerous than ever, necessitating that ships like the ''Cygnus'' hold the line and keep the situation from descending into chaos.
