UNKNOWN ENGINEERING SHIP
The Thomar Expanse is a realm of promise and opportunity, filled with resource-rich worlds, new allies and scientific wonders to perplex the best of Starfleet. As part of the Ascension Emisary Division, USS is tasked with facilitating the realisation of these opportunities in a direct and practical way. Making use of its larger-than-average storage capabilities, additional engineering labs, fabrication facilities, and the ship's robust and reliable design, the crew of have a simple mantra.
If you can dream it, we can build it.
The Rook's Nest
The most forward compartment of Britannia's deck four has long been a popular location for the ship's company to relax and unwind. With impressive sights beyond the ship's forward aspect, the lounge was originally designated as the Junior Officer's mess but after a number of unofficial modifications has slowly become more akin to a classic pub than a formal mess. Over time, the open plan configuration and spacious pub has become a popular haunt of many of the crew members in their off duty hours who seek the relaxed and jovial buzz of laughter that echoes down the corridors. The walls are covered in picture frames featuring memories of the ship's adventures, including a host of faces from crew members current and past aswell as several trophies of the ship's service. The most dear to the ship's company is the slip of unassuming dark oak that hangs above the bar, upon which is emblazoned the ship's proud naval namesake HMS Britannia.unspot Lounges
Theta Squad
Born from the Hazard Team programmes, Theta Squad has gone through several incarnations in a short period of time. Initially a rapid response team operating under Starfleet Science, they were intended for scenarios ranging from experiments gone wrong to unexplained phenomena. As time went by, the squad found themselves engaged in missions where they had to employ a much wider variety of skills including engineering, diplomatic and tactical expertise. Initially operating aboard their dedicated Aerie class transport USS Nestus they became a home for officers and enlisted crew who were, by nature, difficult to categorise and under the guidance of Lieutenant Maine, the squad grew in number will members coming and going as their careers and missions dictated.
The squad has seen several iterations since its intial roster and following the events of the Underspace Labyrinth where they temporarily served aboard the USS Helios they have returned home to Daedalus under the command of Lieutenant Commander Anyok.
Sunspot Lounge
The Akira-Class vessels make novel use of space to facilitate social areas for almost 500 crew members with limited space. Several large open plan messes combined with passing place style corridor lounges (taking advantage of lessons learnt with the Galaxy class) allows Helios to make use of normally wasted space. Nestled on the port and starboard trailing edge of Helios' deck 8, the twin sunspot lounges are one of the ship's more subdued and intimate social spaces, converted from small junior messes.
Fitted with a number of private booths and sofas, the low lighting and ambient music that spills forth from hidden speakers gives the lounges a more intimate feel for evenings of quiet gatherings and rendezvous. The twin lounges feature a number of privacy considerations such as inbuilt replicators in the booth's tables, holographic dividers and an all holographic bar and waiting staff. The focal point of each booth is a large aft quarter facing window giving unobstructed views out into space, which more than once has caused a subtle course correction to maximise a romantic vista.
The Orrery
Situated in the enclosed centre of Helios' flight deck, the Orrery is the command centre of the ships' flight wing and Heliades squadron. A modification of the redundant auxilary bridge, the Orrery takes advantage of the room's command and control systems aswell as the direct connection to the ships computer and sensor sytems to manage the airspace around Helios. With a number of dedicated stations for the management of Helios' vast shuttle bays and a live link to the main bridge, the Orrery acts as a CIC during combat but most importantly provides vital operational & strategic support during humanitarian and transport missions.
With Helios' recent return to non-combat duties with Task Force 47 and the Fourth Fleets return to a more scientific mission brief, the Orrery has recieved a permenant contingent of science officers into the duty roster. These scientists provide support to the divisions's exploratory efforts, utilising the ship's huge number of auxilary craft to extend the reach of the ship's sensors and directing their efforts to survery systems with suprising speed.
The Pynx (NEEDS A NEW NAME)
The Pynx is a state of the art diplomatic and conference centre located in the refitted 'battle module' of Helios, an attempt at Starfleet Command to highlight the peaceful intentions of the new age of exploration. At the cost of some of its torpedo capabilities the module has seen the addition of a large complex of diplomatic suites, each modelled after famous diplomats, a number of multi-function conference and meeting places in addition to a cadre of talented officers from the Federation Diplomatic corps. Throughout the complex holographic generators and advanced environmental systems are able to adapt the suites to cater for a wide variety of needs, allowing diplomatic meetings, conferences and summits to take place aboard the vessel, surrounded by glorious views of the cosmos at every turn.
At the centre of the complex is the main offices of the Diplomatic detachment and the high capacity transporter that connects the module with the rest of the vessel. Travel to and from the module is generally free to all crew-members of any rank, as the suites & multi-function rooms are often used as practice rooms and bookable spaces for the wide variety of shipboard activates.
Hypatia Suite
Situated at the rear of the module, the Hypatia suite's focal point is a set of expansive windows fitted with hand crafted glass from Tellar Prime; the home of many of Starfleet's greatest diplomats, providing an inspiring, unobstructed vista of the galaxy. Named in honour of the pioneering ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician of Earth, the Hypatia suite seeks to inspire whilst presenting a sobering reminder of how small we are in the grand scheme of the universe.
Kor Suite
Inspired by the dramatic statement architecture of the Klingon Hill Council chambers, the Kor suite is perfect for channelling the particular spirit of Klingon Diplomacy. Named after the famed Dahar Master and diplomat who served the Empire for over a century, the Kor suite is part conference room, part amphitheatre, with specialist acoustics designed by the renowned Ferengi composer Jeere Goold; a perfect stage for entertaining and facilitating more private discussions.
In keeping with Captain Tanek's insistence that all facilities are multi-use outside of mission operations , the various music and live performance groups of Helios have made the Kor suite their home away from home, making use of it's particularly beneficial acoustic design. The additional musical underscore has become a permanent feature of the Agora, much to the pleasure of the Diplomatic Corps.
Soval Suite
When not in use for Mission Operations this suite also hosts the twice-weekly meeting of the vessel's hot yoga and meditation group, as well as being the venue for the monthly stargazing club whose bring and share BBQ has become a staple in the ship's calendar.
