Prometheus Squadron
Consisting of starships assigned to the Fourth Fleet's Task Force 17, the newly formed Prometheus Squadron is centered around its flagship, the USS Prometheus, namesake of the Prometheus-class. Formed at the behest of Starfleet Command, and under the watchful eye of Starfleet Intelligence, the squadron is a direct response to a possible new threat uncovered during the blood dilithium crisis of late 2400. Under the command of Captain Keziah Nazir, a veteran of recent conflicts, the squadron is tasked with exploration and tactical initiatives beyond the borders of the Federation, and within the Typhon Expanse.
In her inaugural mission, fresh from a recent refit, and with a new commanding officer at the helm, the Prometheus is dispatched far beyond Federation space to solve the murder of one of Starfleet’s finest. Meanwhile, redemption is on the cards for the relatively young crew who have transferred to the USS Intrepid and seek to move on from the tragedy that has marked the last three months of their lives. Can a mission of exploration under a calming new influence help the crew to move on from the trauma of the past?
Squadron Formation
Formed in late 2400, Prometheus Squadron is currently composed of two starships, but due to the Multi-Vector Assault Mode employed on the Prometheus, the ship is capable of splitting into three, equally powerful escort-type vessels, potentially increasing the squadron strength to four vessels. The composition of vessels assigned to the squadron is such that virtually any objective can be completed, whether within the confines of Federation space, or far from the safety in far flung areas of the known galaxy.
- *USS Prometheus, a Prometheus-class heavy escort. The trailblazer of her class in all of her glory, and under the command of Squadron commander Captain Keziah Nazir (a Trill with some five lifetimes of experience), the USS Prometheus serves Task Force 17 of the Fourth Fleet, operating out of Deep Space 17 in the Beta Quadrant. Despite her age, recent tactical advancements mean Prometheus is more than suited for the complex missions that no other crew or ship are capable of, far beyond the red line of space previously explored.
- USS Intrepid, an Intrepid-class light explorer. Commanded by Captain T'Prynn, a Vulcan with decades of experience, the young crew of the Intrepid are seeking a fresh challenge in pastures new after experiencing a tragedy no crew should ever face; the loss of their commanding officer. Assigned to the deep space exploration initiative of the Fourth Fleet’s Task Force 17, and part Prometheus Squadron, the Intrepid crew find themselves coming face to face with the mysteries of the Typhon Expanse.
