}}The '''USS ''Achilles''''' is a Federation [[Echelon Class|''Echelon''-class light cruiser]] assigned to [[Arcturus Squadron]] of Starfleet's Fourth Fleet. Intended to complete a two-month shakedown cruise under the command of [[bfms_char:16177|Captain Akintoye Okusanya]] following her launch in 2401, ''Achilles'' was pressed into service during the Lost Fleet crisis. Now under the command of her first permanent commanding officer, [[bfms_char:5123|Captain Marcus Bancroft]], ''Achilles'' serves Arcturus Squadron in an engineering support role.

The '''USS ''Swiftsure'' (NCC-97410)''' is an Echelon-class light cruiser assigned to [[Endeavour Squadron]], who operate out of [[Gateway Station]] in the [[Midgard Sector]]. ''Swiftsure'' acts in a multi-mission role prioritising dealing with emerging situations that threaten Starfleet’s interests in the area. Outside of these, she primarily supports frontier operations on behalf of the [[Federation]], focusing on development of local defensive infrastructure and rooting out local piracy and facilitating colonial development. These missions make full use of her speed, armament, and extensive secondary craft capabilities while harnessing her extensive capabilities as a utility vessel.
In Greek mythology, Achilles was the best of the Greek warriors at Troy ("aristos achaion") and his refusal to enter battle, his fued with his compatriots, and his rage at the death of his companion Patroklos are at the core of the ''Iliad''. Achilles was characterized as much by his speed, skill, and bravery as he was by his ''hubris'' and egotism.<ref>https://www.britannica.com/topic/Achilles-Greek-mythology</ref> A rendering of Achilles and Patroklos forms the crest of  the ''Achilles''<nowiki/>'s seal.

Captain Faust has notably taken a dim view of the disruption of local pirates or political factions such as the Romulan Rebirth Movement, and retains a strong tactical profile of her ship to ensure the frontier remains a stable front for a Federation still reeling from crises such as Frontier Day.

Built at [[Avalon Fleet Yards]], ''Achilles'' was launched in 2401 and placed under the command of Captain Akintoye Okusanya for a shakedown cruise, due to her engineering expertise and experience with Arcturus Squadron. Not long after her launch, ''Achilles'' experienced her baptism of fire at the [[Battle of Farpoint]], where she participated alongside the other vessels of Arcturus Squadron.<ref>https://bravofleet.com/story/82650</ref>

The USS Swiftsure (NCC-97410) is an Echelon-class light cruiser assigned to Endeavour Squadron, who operate out of Gateway Station in the Midgard Sector. Swiftsure acts in a multi-mission role prioritising dealing with emerging situations that threaten Starfleet’s interests in the area. Outside of these, she primarily supports frontier operations on behalf of the Federation, focusing on development of local defensive infrastructure and rooting out local piracy and facilitating colonial development. These missions make full use of her speed, armament, and extensive secondary craft capabilities while harnessing her extensive capabilities as a utility vessel.

Under the command of Captain Addison Faust, the squadron’s deputy commander, the Swiftsure has prioritised upholding the interests of Federation citizens in the Midgard Sector. This includes defence of the Midgard Colony and its commercial and industrial affairs, but has also increasingly incorporated protecting and assisting corporate and colonial ventures beyond Federation space. Captain Faust has notably taken a dim view of the disruption of local pirates or political factions such as the Romulan Rebirth Movement, and retains a strong tactical profile of her ship to ensure the frontier remains a stable front for a Federation still reeling from crises such as Frontier Day.
