The USS Sheffield is a Federation Grissom-class starship assigned to Starfleet's Fourth Fleet within Task Force 17. Commanded by Captain Frederich Meyer with Commander Rina Parker as the first officer, the Sheffield serves as one of Starfleet’s latest platforms dedicated to space mapping and exploration.
As part of Task Force 17, the Sheffield undertakes detailed cartographic surveys, contributing critical data to Starfleet Cartography. Its primary mission involves mapping celestial objects, gravitational fields, subspace anomalies, and other navigational elements to enhance warp route planning in the remote regions patrolled by Task Force 17. Survey data is promptly relayed to Deep Space 17 for analysis and integration. The Sheffield also supports other vessels on scientific research and exploration missions as needed.
Crew of the Sheffield
- Captain Frederich Meyer: A human male in his mid-sixties, Captain Meyer has harbored a lifelong passion for exploration, though years of experience have tempered his initial spark; he occasionally feels as though he has "seen it all."

Despite her initial disappointment, Parker is determined to make the most of her role and prove her capability, even in an assignment that feels far from her ideal.
In Play
- The Sheffield is a Task Unit Asset, and any member of Task Force 17 can feature it in their stories.

- She may be a vessel that requires an escort when traveling to remote areas or between starbases and outposts.
- While the Sheffield is fairly well-armed for a survey vessel, she can still be easily outgunned and may need rescue in high-risk situations.
