Frontier Support
}}'''Sirius Expeditionary Squadron''', also known as '''Sirius Squadron''', is a squadron of the [[Fourth Fleet]] centered around the [[Odyssey Class|Odyssey-class]] [[USS Sirius|USS ''Sirius'']] and headquartering at [[Gateway Station]] in the [[Midgard Sector]], on the [[United Federation of Planets|Federation’s]] [[:Category:Beta Quadrant|Beta Quadrant]] frontier. The squadron is led by [[Bfms char:12418|Commodore Matt Rourke]], who reports to the Commander of the Midgard Sector, [[Bfms char:131092|Vice Admiral Owen Morgan]].
 
Sirius Squadron is organized into two specialized formations: the '''Expeditionary Unit''', tasked with operations beyond Federation borders and serving as the primary response unit for emergent threats, and the '''Midgard Sector Operations Unit''', which is dedicated to safeguarding and advancing Federation interests in the Midgard Sector.
 
The Expeditionary Unit stands ready to deploy at a moment's notice to respond to developments across the galaxy. Outside of such events, it is headquartered at Gateway. The unit provides support to Midgard Sector operations, but patrols and explores further outside of Federation territory in former RSE and RNZ regions. At present, the unit also provides substantial aid to the Romulan Republic in reinforcing against possible threat from the Klingon Empire.
 
The Sector Operations Unit is based directly out of Gateway Station and upholds Federation interests and regional stability in the Midgard Sector. This includes diplomatic and humanitarian operations as well as border patrol and law enforcement. Increased colony expansion in, and potentially beyond, the Federation border and the encroaching threat of the Klingon Empire have placed further demands on the unit. The unit also conducts survey and research missions outside of Federation space, with the Neutral Zone and former Romulan territory one of the most under-explored areas of the galaxy within mere light-years of the border.
 
Since its formation in 2400, the squadron has been at the forefront of some of the Fourth Fleet's most urgent situations of the 25th century, including the Lost Fleet crisis of 2401. It is assigned directly to [[Fourth Fleet Operations]] and not one of the fleet's task forces, though is often favoured by Director of Fourth Fleet Intelligence [[bfms_char:16756|Admiral Alexander Beckett]] for special assignments.

Sirius Expeditionary Squadron, also known as Sirius Squadron, is a squadron of the Fourth Fleet centered around the Odyssey-class USS Sirius and headquartering at Gateway Station in the Midgard Sector, on the Federation’s Beta Quadrant frontier. The squadron is led by Commodore Matt Rourke, who reports to the Commander of the Midgard Sector, Vice Admiral Owen Morgan.

Sirius Squadron is organized into two specialized formations: the Expeditionary Unit, tasked with operations beyond Federation borders and serving as the primary response unit for emergent threats, and the Midgard Sector Operations Unit, which is dedicated to safeguarding and advancing Federation interests in the Midgard Sector.

The Expeditionary Unit stands ready to deploy at a moment's notice to respond to developments across the galaxy. Outside of such events, it is headquartered at Gateway. The unit provides support to Midgard Sector operations, but patrols and explores further outside of Federation territory in former RSE and RNZ regions. At present, the unit also provides substantial aid to the Romulan Republic in reinforcing against possible threat from the Klingon Empire.

The Sector Operations Unit is based directly out of Gateway Station and upholds Federation interests and regional stability in the Midgard Sector. This includes diplomatic and humanitarian operations as well as border patrol and law enforcement. Increased colony expansion in, and potentially beyond, the Federation border and the encroaching threat of the Klingon Empire have placed further demands on the unit. The unit also conducts survey and research missions outside of Federation space, with the Neutral Zone and former Romulan territory one of the most under-explored areas of the galaxy within mere light-years of the border.

Since its formation in 2400, the squadron has been at the forefront of some of the Fourth Fleet's most urgent situations of the 25th century, including the Lost Fleet crisis of 2401. It is assigned directly to Fourth Fleet Operations and not one of the fleet's task forces, though is often favoured by Director of Fourth Fleet Intelligence Admiral Alexander Beckett for special assignments.
