Canopus Flotilla

Canopus Exploratory Flotilla, known commonly as Canopus Flotilla, is a Fourth Fleet Operations flotilla based around the USS Canopus and under the command of Commodore Tikva Theodoras. With all starships being explorers, they are capable of a wide variety of missions. As such, the squadron is an adaptable formation well suited for the wide range of situations that long-range explorations may encounter.

Canopus Flotilla is a leading example of Starfleet's return to its core tenet: peaceful exploration of the galaxy at large and the advancement of knowledge across all spheres of study. The squadron also serves as an example of Starfleet's determination to maintain the peace.

Patch History

Prior to being reorganised as the Canopus Exploratory Squadron, the command was known as the Atlantis Exploratory Squadron. As new ships entered the squadron, modifications to the patch were continually made, with the initial design selected for its adaptability. With the command reorganisation in mid-2402, a new patch design was ordered for the squadron with the same requirement of ease of modification with additional commands.
