}}Based out of [[Starbase 86]] and bordering the unclaimed [[The Triangle|Triangle]] region of the Beta Quadrant, T'''ask Force 86''' has a mandate of maintaining local stability and security. They operate in regions beset by insurgency or criminal forces, primarily through cooperation and support of local governments and civilian populations.

*'''Manage''' Starfleet’s border defence and counterinsurgency operations.
Warp Drive is a form of non-Newtonian propulsion that moves starships faster than the speed of light by manipulating subspace to bend space and reduce the apparent mass of the vessel in order to bypass the laws of Relativity.<ref>Sternbach, R., & Okuda, M. (1993). Section 5.1: Warp Field Theory and Application. In ''Star Trek: The next generation technical manual'' (pp. 57–62). Pocket.</ref> Without warp drive, journeys between star systems would be impossible without sleeper or generation ships. Federation and Klingon warp drives operate with a matter/antimatter reactor powering warp coils in outboard nacelles, while Romulan warp drives are powered by artificial quantum singularity reactors.<ref>[[ma:Face_Of_The_Enemy_(episode)|''Star Trek: The Next Generation'', Season 6, Episode 14: "Face of the Enemy"]]</ref>
*'''Monitor''' criminal organisations operating within the Triangle region.
*'''Develop''' relationships with local governments and communities.
*'''Assist''' those local governments to push back against criminal elements already established and prevent footholds being established.


Earlier versions of warp drive could not be operated close to large gravitational masses like planets<ref>''[[ma:Star Trek: The Motion Picture|Star Trek: The Motion Picture]]''</ref>, but this limitation has been removed by the start of the 25th century.<ref>[[ma:The_Next_Generation_(episode)|''Star Trek: Picard'', Season 3, Episode 1: "The Next Generation."]]</ref> Warp drive can be impeded by many things, notably disruptions to subspace. Warp drive systems developed through the mid-24th century also caused direct damage to subspace and for a time Starfleet Command imposed a Warp 5 speed limit except in emergencies.<ref>[[ma:Force of Nature (episode)|''Star Trek: The Next Generation'', Season 7, Episode 9: "Force of Nature"]]</ref> Refinements to Starfleet warp drive designs mitigated this effect by the 2380s, but it led to the accelerated retirement or re-engining of multiple old-style starship classes, including the ''Miranda'' and ''Excelsior.''
==Overview==
Following the synth attack on Mars in 2385, the Federation consolidated her borders and pulled back on her exploratory missions to focus on protecting Federation worlds and citizens. This action caused power vacuums to arise in several areas, allowing criminal organisations to fill those vacuums.


Many systems have been proposed to travel at even faster speeds than warp drive can (slipstream and transwarp, e.g.), and several alien races such as the Voth and Borg have managed to perfect them, but faster-than-warp technologies remain purely in the purview of experimental prototypes in Starfleet; it is anticipated that warp will remain the dominant mode of interstellar travel in the Alpha Quadrant for at least the first half of the 25th century.  
Operating out of a Starbase on the edge of the [[Azure Nebula]], Task Force 86 is charged with border defence and counterinsurgency operations throughout the Federation. From its Headquarters on [[Starbase 86]], the Task Force manages and co-ordinates patrols of the Federation’s borders with her neighbours and responds to incursions, monitors criminal activity within Federation space, works with local governments and communities to push back against and disrupt that criminal activity.


=== [[ma:Antimatter|Antimatter]] ===
One particular area of concern for the Federation is The Triangle, an unaligned region between the borders of the Federation, the Romulan Republic and the Klingon Empire. The Triangle has always been a hotbed of criminal activity but the Federation’s shift in focus over the past fifteen years allowed several criminal groups to expand their operations and threaten the stability of worlds throughout the Federation.
[[File:Antimatterpod1.jpg|alt=A schematic of a typical anti-matter storage pod. Most starships would have dozens of such pods.|thumb|186x186px|A schematic of a typical anti-matter storage pod. ]]
Antimatter is a form of matter with mass but with the opposite charge and spin as standard matter. Matter and antimatter will annihilate each other when they come in contact. It is used in both antimatter reactors and antimatter weapons. Aboard Starfleet vessels, anti-deuterium is used for both of these purposes. It is stored in modules near to the antimatter reactant injectors. Because antimatter cannot come in contact with matter without exploding, it is stored within high-power magnetic forcefields that suspend it in a vacuum. In an emergency, antimatter pods can be ejected from a starship. Refined antimatter is created at facilities around the Federation, and this process is extremely energy intensive.<ref>Sternbach, R., & Okuda, M. (1993). Section 5.4: Antimatter Storage and Transfer. In ''Star Trek: The next generation technical manual'' (pp. 67–68). Pocket.</ref> Some starships have onboard antimatter generators, but they are highly inefficient and provide antimatter at a ratio of 1 unit of antideuterium for every 10 units of deuterium provided.<ref>Sternbach, R., & Okuda, M. (1993). Section 5.7: Onboard Antimatter Generation. In ''Star Trek: The next generation technical manual'' (pp. 71–72). Pocket.</ref>


=== [[ma:Bussard_collector|Bussard Collector]] ===
==Task Force Assets and Headquarters==
[[File:Sovereign bussard collector.png|alt=The bussard collectors on the Enterprise-E|thumb|277x277px|The bussard collectors on the ''Enterprise''-E being used to dramatic effect to suck in metreon gas. This gas was later expelled and ignited to defeat two Son'a cruisers.]]
With the Triangle a particular area of interest to Task Force 86 and its remit, headquarters along with flagship [[USS Majestic|USS ''Majestic'']] are located near the border at [[Starbase 86]]. A smaller outpost, it provides support and resupply to Starfleet vessels heading to the chaotic, unclaimed region, and for many, is the last stop before the end of civilisation.
Bussard Collectors, also known as Bussard Ramscoops, use magnetic fields to attract interstellar hydrogen atoms and other free-floating gases for use as fuel aboard a starship. Most effective at warp speeds, this system is used to continually replace small amounts of fuel and to provide stop-gap fuel in the event of a shortage.<ref>Sternbach, R., & Okuda, M. (1993). Section 5.6: Bussard Ramscoop Fuel Replenishment. In ''Star Trek: The next generation technical manual'' (p. 70). Pocket.</ref> This system can also be used to collect and expel other gasses, for scientific or tactical purposes.<ref>[[ma:Samaritan_Snare_(episode)|''Star Trek: The Next Generation'', Season 2, Episode 17: "Samaritan Snare."]]</ref><ref>[[ma:Night_Terrors_(episode)|''Star Trek: The Next Generation'', Season 4, Episode 19: "Night Terrors."]]</ref><ref>''[[ma:Star Trek: Insurrection|Star Trek: Insurrection]]'' </ref> On Starfleet ships, Bussard collectors are always on the forward ends of the warp nacelles. It is a common misconception that they are some sort of intake manifold for the warp engines themselves, but they are not directly connected to the warp coils or any other propulsive systems.


=== [[ma:Deuterium|Deuterium]] ===
=== Task Force Composition ===
Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen containing both a proton and a neutron. It is used to fuel starships' matter/antimatter reactors and fusion reactors. Deuterium is stored as slush in large tanks on every starship. A ''Galaxy''-class starship has tanks large enough to support three years of warp travel without refueling.<ref>Sternbach, R., & Okuda, M. (1993). Section 5.5: Warp Propulsion System Fuel Supply. In ''Star Trek: The next generation technical manual'' (p. 69). Pocket.</ref> Deuterium is preferred over protium (hydrogen without a neutron) because it contains twice the energetic potential.

*[[Starbase 415]], a [[Narendra Class|''Narendra''-class outpost]]
Dilithium is a crystaline compound that is the only known way of moderating a matter/anti-matter reaction. Without dilitihium, traditional warp cores cannot function.<ref name=":0" /> This substance can be refined or synthesized from its component parts, but it cannot be replicated. Dilithium decrystalizes with use but is not consumed by the reaction process. Decrystalized dilithium can be recrystalized with gamma radiation bombardment<ref>''[[ma:Star_Trek_IV:_The_Voyage_Home|Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home]]''</ref> or a theta matrix compositer<ref>[[ma:Family_(episode)|''Star Trek: The Next Generation'', Season 4, Episode 2: "Family"]]</ref>, but there will always be material lost during this process, as it is only about 50% efficient with current methods. This means that spacefaring races must rely on having access to substantial, active sources of dilithium or they risk losing the ability to power their ships.

====Task Group 64====
[[File:IntrepidWarpCore.jpg|thumb|The reaction chamber of an [[Intrepid Class|''Intrepid''-class starship]]'s matter/antimatter reactor, known as a dilithium swirl chamber.]]
Known more commonly as the warp core, the Matter/Antimatter Reaction Assembly uses the controlled intermixing of deuterium and anti-deuterium to create energy in the form of plasma to power a starship's warp engines and other systems. At each end of the warp core, there is a reactant injector connected to either the ships deuterium tanks (the matter reactant injector or MRI) or anti-deuterium tanks (the antimatter reactant injector or ARI). These injectors  control the rate of flow into the reaction assembly, and thus the amount of power being generated. The magnetic constrictor segments are the next major component of the M/ARA, connecting the reactant injectors to the reaction chamber. These segments use intense magnetic fields to channel the reactants at the right angle and pressure. The reaction chamber uses dilithium to mediate the matter/anti-matter reaction, and this is where the two substances annihilate one another to create plasma, which is channeled to the warp coils through the power transfer conduits.<ref name=":0">Sternbach, R., & Okuda, M.

=== [[ma:Nacelle|Warp Nacelle]] ===
*[[USS Falstaff|USS ''Falstaff'']], a [[Reliant Class|''Reliant''-class frigate]]
A warp nacelle is an outboard cylindrical structure (i.e. a nacelle) that contains a vessel's warp coils.<ref>Sternbach, R., & Okuda, M. (1993). Section 5.3: Warp Field Nacelles. In ''Star Trek: The next generation technical manual'' (pp. 63–64). Pocket.</ref> Federation starships tend to have their nacelles in pairs arranged symmetrically. In fact, it is so common for nacelles to come in pairs that the phrase "third nacelle" has entered the vernacular as a 24th and 25th-century equivalent to the phrase "third wheel"<ref>[[ma:Inside_Man_(episode)|''Star Trek: Voyager'', Season 7, Episode 6: "Inside Man"]]</ref>.  Starfleet warp nacelles almost always have bussard collectors. A starship's nacelles are a good indication of which era it was designed in, as the nacelles for multiple classes in a single period tend to share characteristics (or are actually identical), reflecting the trends in warp coil design at the time.

Task Force 86 has had along and illustrious career as one of the longest serving Task Forces in the Fourth Fleet's history. In 2399, when Starfleet tasked the Fourth Fleet to return to space they also knew it was vitally important that their backyard was watched just as much what laid beyond. As a result, Task Force 86 was designated with the task of border patrol and security. One area that had become a further hotbed of criminal insurgency since the Attack on Mars was around the Azure Nebula in the region known as the [[The Triangle]]. Task Force 86 was assigned to setup its headquarters in this region as a starting point.

Task Force 86's mandate was put to the test in 2399 when the [[Archanis Sector]] was attacked by the [[Hunters of D'Ghor]]. The Fourth Fleet sent a large presence into the sector to defend the border and remove the threat to the Federation colonists and other important assets. Along with other task forces, starships from Task Force 86 responding immediately to the invasion and were able to eventually push the rogue faction out of Federation territory. Working in tandem with other ships, the border was eventually secured from further raids by the Hunters, however the clean-up operation would require a lot of effort. While [[Task Force 93]] led on helping with repairs, rebuilding and recovery operations among the Federation colonies, it would be Task Force 86 that would be required to ensure the border was secure. Thanks to help from [[Task Force 17]], who had built a brand new sensor array near to the border, Task Force 86 were able to monitor and defend the border from any further attacks. After several months of heavy patrolling and the instalment of new defence grids (or upgrades to existing ones), Task Force 86 was able to pull some of its forces from the area after it appeared that the tension along the border had returned to the status quo.

Based out of Starbase 86 and bordering the unclaimed Triangle region of the Beta Quadrant, Task Force 86 has a mandate of maintaining local stability and security. They operate in regions beset by insurgency or criminal forces, primarily through cooperation and support of local governments and civilian populations.

Objectives

  • Manage Starfleet’s border defence and counterinsurgency operations.
  • Monitor criminal organisations operating within the Triangle region.

Task Force History

Task Force 86 has had along and illustrious career as one of the longest serving Task Forces in the Fourth Fleet's history. In 2399, when Starfleet tasked the Fourth Fleet to return to space they also knew it was vitally important that their backyard was watched just as much what laid beyond. As a result, Task Force 86 was designated with the task of border patrol and security. One area that had become a further hotbed of criminal insurgency since the Attack on Mars was around the Azure Nebula in the region known as the The Triangle. Task Force 86 was assigned to setup its headquarters in this region as a starting point.
