The '''USS ''Jaxartes''''' is a ''Raven''-class multi-mission light starship.
The '''Midgard Sector''' lies in the [[Beta Quadrant]], stretching across the borders of [[Federation]] and [[Romulan Republic]] space and extending into the collapsed [[Romulan Neutral Zone]] and the former territories of the [[Star Empire of Rator]]. Historically, it was a tense but quiet border between the UFP and the [[Old Romulan Star Empire]] until the Romulan Supernova and a site of militarised defence and surveillance networks on both sides. Now, with the old borders collapsed and new factions arising, it is a volatile region of independent systems with an uncertain future. Fledgling cooperation between [[Starfleet]] and the Republic seeks to maintain local stability, and both governments seek to support those left behind after Rator's withdrawal from the area.


=== Missions ===
Starfleet operations in the region are based out of [[Gateway Station|Starbase 23]]. This includes not only their humanitarian and diplomatic operations, but their fledgling plans to launch exploration missions into former Romulan territory, a complex long-term undertaking named 'Project Horizon.' Most of these regional operations are overseen by [[Endeavour Squadron]], which headquarters at SB-23.
'''Start-Up Problems''' - '''2393'''


A new batch of Ensigns gets assigned to the Raven-class vessel named USS Jaxartes. Their mission is to expand further exploration of the Typhon Frontier in areas that Starfleet designates as safe zones. Ensign Praugol, assigned to the USS Jaxartes as its designated Captain, finds itself with a ship half-ready for the long journey. She has to get the crew, the supplies, and the ship working again as Starfleet was on a tied budget when this was approved.
==History==
The sector was first mapped by Earth Starfleet during the Romulan War, and upon the conflict's end, many systems were assigned to the Neutral Zone. As such, the Federation side of the border is extremely well-surveyed by Starfleet due to both the impossibility of expansion beyond the Neutral Zone and the need for border defence. Most regional infrastructure for two centuries consisted of surveillance and guard outposts, though by the late 22nd century, the Midgard system had been settled as a human colony. With the taut peace between the Federation and Romulans never outright breaking, the sector changed very little for those two hundred years.


=== Ship's Tour ===
Its infrastructure meant that the area was wholly unprepared for the Romulan supernova. When the Federation offered the Empire aid, their facilities in Midgard were unsuited to supporting humanitarian or evacuation efforts. Locals at the Midgard colony vociferously resisted receiving any refugees, so a system in the collapsing Neutral Zone, Teros, was chosen for the nearest Relocation Hub. The withdrawal of Federation aid after the Attack on Mars was popular with those citizens, and the closing-off of borders returned the region for over a decade to the same suspicious, territorial mentality that had defined it for two centuries.
'''Captain's Ready Room'''


The Captain's Ready Room, also known as the briefing room, can be found on deck two behind the bridge because the size of the [[Raven Class]] is a relatively small briefing room. In addition, it is located in the middle of the ship, meaning it has no outside view. However, Ensign Valerio installed a holographic window that gives a real-time exterior view. Ensign Valerio gave it as a birthday gift to his Captain. In addition, the ship has some plants that contribute to the liveliness of the room.  
By the time Starfleet began to look beyond its borders again in 2399, the only major change was the construction of a new Starbase 23, which had originally existed as a guard outpost. Its successor, eventually designated Gateway Station, was intended continue in and expand border defence systems. This changed with the collapse of the Star Empire of Rator in 2400, which plunged the Romulan side of the border from relative, paranoid stability into chaos. Now the Federation and Republic bordered not only the volatile remains of the Neutral Zone but a series of worlds and facilities no longer under Rator's rule, rendered suddenly and brutally independent.


The Captain's desk stands on the right side against the wall when entering the briefing room. It looks like a handcrafted table with the color of walnut brown, and it has grain patrons onto the wood to give uniqueness to the desk itself. The desk has two side drawers and a center drawer with a built-in holographic keyboard. When the center drawer is pulled out, the keyboard activates.
The Federation judged that they had a moral obligation to help now where they had failed the Romulan people before and saw this as an opportunity to build closer bonds in their fledgling alliance with the Republic. SB-23 was redesignated 'Gateway Station,' now rendered the threshold guardian to this unstable region. The former territories of Rator have no single ruler, and many of their worlds were reliant on the Empire's infrastructure for their needs. Starfleet now deems it essential the region not fall into chaotic in-fighting, desperate impoverishment, or under the sway of opportunistic criminal enterprises or a would-be Romulan warlord. On this matter, they and the Republic are of one mind.


On the desk, you will find a group picture of Ensign Praugol and her academy class of 2392. Some scientific accessories such as a Vulcan Dust Globe, a planet mug that shows Federation Founders' planets, and when heated, it offers more astronomic details of those planets. On the side, a Newton Cradle Balance stands that keeps ticking. On the wall, you will find the screen and on its sides two posters that can be changed to any galaxy or star system. Most of the accessories on the desk are there as presents for Sazra, though in her fair opinion, they should have a function, or they shouldn't belong on the desk at all.

=== Federation ===


Praugol receives guests in the Briefing Room on her brown couch. She will sit most of the time in her desk chair and turns around to the guest to begin their conversation. A small round table between them can be used for drinks or for placing some PADDs.
* [[Gateway Station]] (SB-23) - The centre of Federation operations in the region. From this facility in the Midgard system, Starfleet bases and launches all of its humanitarian, border defence, diplomatic, and exploratory missions.
* Midgard - Stood on the border, the system has been the site of Starfleet border defence infrastructure for two and a half centuries. Its primary colony on Midgard III is one of the oldest in the Federation and home to a hardy people who have spent generations watching the border with suspicion. There is no sign of this mentality yet changing with the times.


'''The Observation Lounge'''
=== Romulan Republic ===


At the back of the ship, you will find the Observation Lounge on deck 2. When entering through a small door on the far right side (when coming from the bridge), you will see a long light-brown oak table on the left side, shaped in a stretch-out circle. The chairs are custom designed to those you will find in most Starfleet vessels. However, these chairs are also the same soft color as the table. In the middle of the table, you will find a holographic 3D device that can project any ship, planet, or astronomical object shown during a mission briefing.
* Unroth - This system has passed between Klingon and Romulan hands over the centuries. It now lies within the Republic and is its most populous trade port near the Federation border.
* Nemus Station - Once a long-range surveillance post for the Star Empire, Nemus Station has been reconfigured by the Republic as a border outpost. It is the closest its navy has to a headquarters in this sector.


On the wall, there are paintings of various famous exploration ships. One of those is the USS Enterprise. On the other side, you will find big windows that show the back of the ship and a great view of space itself. It is said that Ensign T'path was mostly found here, as it brought her calmness while practicing her Vulcan meditation. While on the floor before the window, you will find a classic earth-designed carpet with that dark red color.
=== Independent Territories ===


Back at the entree on the right, you will find a corner for one person to sit and relax. Dr. Ruslanovna has the hobby of creating something of every mission in the form of a beautiful painting. It is in this corner that these small paintings are hanging.
* Synnef Nebula - A Class 11 Nebula on the border between the Federation, Republic, and the former territories of Rator, the sensor-obfuscating qualities of the Synnef Nebula make it a serious security concern for local governments, and a prime opportunity for any smugglers, criminals, or simply loners wishing to avoid their eyes.
 
** Sot Thryfar - A star system at the nebula's periphery, the Republic reports it as a haven for these opportunists.
'''Main Engineering'''
* Scarix - The star officially designated HD 168746-Gamma lies in the former Neutral Zone. It is highly rich in mineral deposits and, for the last five years, has been the home of the Scarix Facility, a vast mining and processing network spanning the system under the ownership of the Federation-registered company Dyke Logistics.
 
* Teros - Once an uninhabited system of the Neutral Zone, Teros is now the home of a Romulan Relocation Hub built by the Federation for evacuees before the supernova. Starfleet withdrew support after the Attack on Mars, and the residents of Teros have eked out a difficult existence ever since.
From deck 1 to 3 you will find in the middle of the ship the heart of all its power, the main engineering. When entering the engineering, you will hear the humming and buzzing sound of the warp-core, like a purring little kitty. Within the engineering, you will find various tools and monitoring console to keep the flow of energy in control. Most of the ship had to be rebuilded, and the engineering was no exception from it, so even thought it is an aged ship that has seen quite a bit it has newer equipment. Below you will find a few of these consoles:
* Koperion and Lockney - Systems of the collapsed Neutral Zone, Starfleet Science has designated them as Priority 1 for upcoming survey missions.
 
* Vadfall - An old border world of the RSE with massive cities and huge populations. Little has been heard of its residents since Rator's withdrawal.

* Rho Detara - Once an RSE system, long-range surveillance suggests some imperial infrastructure remains, and the possible existence of an indigenous species turned vassals to the Empire. Their fate remains unknown.

The Midgard Sector lies in the Beta Quadrant, stretching across the borders of Federation and Romulan Republic space and extending into the collapsed Romulan Neutral Zone and the former territories of the Star Empire of Rator.
