Difference between revisions of "Atlantis Squadron"

Revision as of 23:04, 1 June 2024

Atlantis Squadron is a 2-ship formation based in the Thomar Expanse beyond Deep Space 47. The squadron's primary duties are deep space exploration along the trailing edges of the Cardassian Union and providing support to the Cardassian Union in the face of Breen Confederacy aggression. With both starships being explorers and therefore capable of a wide variety of missions, the squadron is an adaptable formation well suited for the wide range of situations such long-range explorers encounter.

The squadron is commanded from USS Atlantis by Captain Theodoras, spearheading exploration and diplomatic missions. Atlantis Squadron is assigned to Task Force 47, with a remit for exploration and first contact missions.

Leadership

April 2401 - Present : Captain Tikva Theodoras

Composition

USS Atlantis

USS Atlantis is a Sovereign-class explorer and the flagship of the squadron under the direct command of Captain Tikva Theodoras. A considerable vessel on its own, Atlantis is the heavyweight of the squadron in terms of tactical and engineering capacity, with her scientific versatility lagging behind her younger sister Republic. Atlantis is charged with leading the way in deep-space exploration along the trailing edge of the Thomar Expanse, securing diplomatic ties with new powers discovered and working to assist in maintaining or settling the Cardassian/Breen cold war that is brewing over the Expanse and its treasures.

USS Republic

USS Republic is a Constitution III-class explorer. A powerful exploratory platform, harkening to the days of Starfleet's golden era of exploration and discovery, what Atlantis lacks in scientific versatility Republic more than makes up for and then some. Her primary purpose is concurrent exploratory work alongside Atlantis and has a similar mission statement to the larger vessel. When operating together she acts as Atlantis' escort vessel and with her higher top speed is capable of interception and scouting duties as well.

USS Perseus

USS Perseus is a Galaxy-class explorer. While an ageing exploratory platform, the Galaxy-class is still a valid and time-tested design with a wide-ranging capability and extensive endurance.

USS Sagan

USS Sagan is the class-lead for the Sagan-class light explorers.
