The '''USS ''Sojourner''''' is a [[Pathfinder_Class|''Pathfinder''-class]] starship built in 2400 as a modernized and specialized version of the [[Intrepid_Class|''Intrepid''-class]] light explorer, intended to handle scientific and exploration missions far from Federation space.  
+
The '''USS ''Apollo''''' is a [[Rhode Island Class|''Rhode Island''-class]] scout currently assigned to [[Arcturus Squadron]]. It has been under the command of Sean Gaudain since January 2399.
  
Produced at the Zeti Reticuli Shipyards, the ''Sojourner'' is the third of her class and features the latest in Starfleet technology and systems from the ground up. Assigned to [[Task Force 47]] to take part in the exploration in the [[Thomar Expanse]], she is well suited to provide a long-range platform for surveying and engaging in scientific research within the dangerous region.

== History ==
 +
Launched in 2390, the ''Apollo'' served under various captains before coming under the command of Captain Sean Gaudain in 2399. Under his command, this ship was an important part of Starfleet's early exploratory efforts in the Nacene Reach.
  
=== Design and Layout ===
+
=== 2399 ===
''The '''USS Sojourner''','' like the rest of the ''[[Pathfinder_Class|Pathfinder]]''[[Pathfinder_Class|-class]] starships has the potential to become a specialized vessels with enhanced/specialized scientific facilities. Due to the new nature of the class though she has been fitted with the standard complement of facilities designed for a ship with a multi-mission role. As her missions change and evolve her Captain and the fleet may determine that the more specialized facilities may be needed.
+
For the first quarter of 2399, the ''Apollo'' was assigned to accompany the USS ''Arcturus'' as part of Commodore Elizabeth Hayden's mission to the Nacene Reach. In the early part of January of that year, it participated in a war game against ships of the Andorian Imperial Guard. Once in the Delta Quadrant, it engaged in skirmishes with several Kazon groups as part of a mission to destroy the wreckage of a lost Federation science vessel to avoid Starfleet technology falling into Kazon hands.
  
In general the vessels main facilities are remarkably similar to those of the intrepid class in both design and layout. Many of the features and primary spaces such and the bridge and engineering could easily be mistaken for those of the intrepid but for the state of the art equipment that is found through of the ship.
+
''Apollo'' returned to the Alpha Quadrant with ''Arcturus'' in March of 2399 for debriefing, but was pulled into the Battle of Barzan II upon exiting the wormhole. During this battle, Vice Admiral Jonathan Knox was killed by the Breen. Following that attack, Apollo continued to serve under now-Rear Admiral Hayden in her reconstituted Task Force 9 to interdict Breen attacks.

She responded to a Federation distress call only to find a long-abandoned Federation medical vessel that had been sucked into the Delta Quadrant by a subspace anomaly. The volatile biomimetic gel it was carrying interacted with an alien pathogen to create a virulent super virus that had been ravaging a nearby world for almost two decades, but the Apollo's team was able to stop the effects of that disease.

===== Bridge =====
 
On the surface the layout of the '''USS ''Sojourner''''' bridge looks almost identical to those of the Intrepid class abet modernized with holographic displays for the LCARS and an additional sensors control station linked directly to the secondary deflector.
 
 
 
===== Ready Room =====
 
[[bfms_char:52632|Commander Kirin Tarken]] treats her captain's ready room as an extension herself. The desk resembles the standard desk found in most star fleet vessels. It is light grey and the accompanying chair nestled behind the desk was a deep burgundy. The primary console is equipped  with a 3D holographic display built into the right-hand corner of the desk. The only other noticeable feature on the desk is a small potted Risian Fern and a small picture frame with an image of a young Orion girl and her parents, a Orion women in Lieutenant Commander uniform and a Risian man in shorts and a loose shirt.
 
 
 
In addition to the desk and her primary console there the room is dominated by the large viewport and sofa which is located beside the replicator. This is often uses for meetings with the crew, senior or otherwise, to give an more informal feel. The sofa is a rich burgundy, matching the desk chair. The circular table that the sofa curves around has a small holographic display in the middle allowing for the projection or information when needed.
 
 
 
As with most Captains the room is decorated with items that have been collected over the course of her career. On a floating shelf beside the door there are two star ship models, the '''[[USS Daradax|USS ''Daradax'']]''' and the '''USS ''Sojourner.'''''  Beside the desk are two crossed Klingon swords mounted on the wall which she always dismisses when asked about them. The only other personal effect of note is a moderate sized picture of a Risian shoreline with a small house nestled back in the forest.

The USS ''Sojourner'' has undertaken the following missions since its commission in 2400:
 
* Under the command of Commander Kirin Tarken - October 2400 - Present
 
**[https://bravofleet.com/mission/64802 Mission 0 – An Unexpected Boon]: The crew of the USS ''Daradax'' receive some unexpected new orders on their return to Deep Space 9 after completing a supply run to a nearby Bajoran colony which will push each of them to their limit. They will each be expected to perform above and beyond anything they had previously expected.
 
**[https://bravofleet.com/mission/64990 Mission 1 - Do not go gentle into that good night (Blood Dilithium Campaign)]: Following the appearance of the massive subspace rift in the Gradin Belt of the Delta Quadrant causing the formation of red dilithium deposits in its wake ships of the Fourth Fleet have been assigned to provide assistance to the privateers, merchants and traders pour through the Barzan wormhole. The USS ''Sojourner'' has been dispatched along with other ships from the Fourth Fleet to assist those in need and map the new deposits. After several weeks of mapping new dilithium deposits and providing aid to several ships and mining operations, the crew of the USS ''Sojourner'' encountered families fleeing a mining colony in a binary pulsar system that the Devore Imperium took over and forced the miners to work on under threat of death. Upon arrival in the system, the crew discover that something is not right and soon find themselves in a desperate struggle for their lives.

The USS Apollo is a Rhode Island-class scout currently assigned to Arcturus Squadron. It has been under the command of Sean Gaudain since January 2399.

History

Launched in 2390, the Apollo served under various captains before coming under the command of Captain Sean Gaudain in 2399. Under his command, this ship was an important part of Starfleet's early exploratory efforts in the Nacene Reach.

2399

For the first quarter of 2399, the Apollo was assigned to accompany the USS Arcturus as part of Commodore Elizabeth Hayden's mission to the Nacene Reach. In the early part of January of that year, it participated in a war game against ships of the Andorian Imperial Guard. Once in the Delta Quadrant, it engaged in skirmishes with several Kazon groups as part of a mission to destroy the wreckage of a lost Federation science vessel to avoid Starfleet technology falling into Kazon hands.

Apollo returned to the Alpha Quadrant with Arcturus in March of 2399 for debriefing, but was pulled into the Battle of Barzan II upon exiting the wormhole. During this battle, Vice Admiral Jonathan Knox was killed by the Breen. Following that attack, Apollo continued to serve under now-Rear Admiral Hayden in her reconstituted Task Force 9 to interdict Breen attacks.

By the end of 2399, Apollo required a substantial refit at Starbase Bravo and the majority of her crew were either given time off or transferred to other postings.

2400

The Apollo, still under Captain Gaudain's command, was ordered to transport Vice Admiral Felix Kominek to Parliament in early 2400 as a test of the captain's fitness to hold the center seat. Later in 2400, Apollo returned to the Delta Quadrant and embarked on long-range reconnaisance and threat assessment activities. She responded to a Federation distress call only to find a long-abandoned Federation medical vessel that had been sucked into the Delta Quadrant by a subspace anomaly. The volatile biomimetic gel it was carrying interacted with an alien pathogen to create a virulent super virus that had been ravaging a nearby world for almost two decades, but the Apollo's team was able to stop the effects of that disease.

2401

By 2401, the Apollo remained part of Arcturus Squadron, which was then under the command of Commodore Brett Logan. Apollo was tasked with exploring the Talvath Cluster.
