==Overview==
+
=== History ===
Following the synth attack on Mars in 2385, the Federation consolidated her borders and pulled back on her exploratory missions to focus on protecting Federation worlds and citizens.  This action caused power vacuums to arise in several areas, allowing criminal organizations to fill those vacuums.

After the wounding of the ''USS Anaheim'' Captain Nathan Hawthorne was left without a command for several months while repairs were being done on the [[California class|''California''-class]] ship. Long wanting a change of command, and tired of serving to ferry doctors to disaster areas, Hawthorne was given command of the ''USS Seattle'' which was open after the events of Fleet Day. Assigned Commander Adriana Cruz as his First Officer he took command until eventually being injured in the line of duty and being removed from command to make was for his First Officer to take the mantle.  
  
Operating out of a Starbase on the edge of the [[Azure Nebula]], Task Force 86 is charged with border defense and counterinsurgency operations throughout the Federation.  From its Headquarters on [[Starbase 86]], the Task Force manages and co-ordinates patrols of the Federation’s borders with her neighbors and responds to incursions, monitors criminal activity within Federation space, works with local governments and communities to push back against and disrupt that criminal activity.
+
=== Missions ===
  
One particular area of concern for the Federation is The Triangle, an unaligned region between the borders of the Federation, the Romulan Republic and the Klingon Empire. The Triangle has always been a hotbed of criminal activity but the Federation’s shift in focus over the past fifteen years allowed several criminal groups to expand their operations and threaten the stability of worlds throughout the Federation.

Attempting to assist a Cardassian cruiser that had lost its crew in a pre-warp civilization the ''USS Seattle'' sent down a team to investigate. This delayed the Cardassians sending down a tactical team that promised to take no prisoners freeing their people. A second Cardassian ship arrived in orbit but thankfully the work of Engsign William Hume allows the Seattle crew to stage a riot and free the hostages. The Cardassians gave a grudging thanks and departed.

With the Triangle a particular area of interest to Task Force 86 and its remit, headquarters along with flagship [[USS Majestic|USS ''Majestic'']] are located near the border at [[Starbase 86]]. A smaller outpost, it provides support and resupply to Starfleet vessels heading to the chaotic, unclaimed region, and for many, is the last stop before the end of civilization.

While escorting the ''USS Casanova'' on a science mission the Senior Staff of the ''Seattle'' are able to take part in some holographic games in the holodecks. Unfortunately the ''USS Casanova'' angered some gods who stole the ships’ holodecks and played other tricks on the crews of the two Starfleet vessels. This forced the crew to engage in real life versions of their holographic games, until their ship is restored and they are able to continue on their way.

Investigating a black market dealer’s base, and finding lots of old Borg technology the crew of the ''USS Seattle'' discovered Borg transponders which activated and called the Borg. Deep Space 7 noticed a Borg Cube approaching Federation Space and the ''USS Seattle'' was tasked with taking the transponders far away from inhabited planets and Federation space. They traveled far from Federation space, well past explored space and eventually attempted but failed to destroy the transponders which the Borg took and departed.

==Task Force History==
+
The ''USS Seattle'' is one of the most advanced ships of her size. Sleek and fast, she is equally capable as a fast exploration platform that can quickly map unknown space and as a tactically-oriented scout that can use her powerful sensor platforms to seek out threat vessels.  
Task Force 86 has had along and illustrious career as one of the longest serving Task Forces in the Fourth Fleet's history. In 2399, when Starfleet tasked the Fourth Fleet to return to space they also knew it was vitally important that their backyard was watched just as much what laid beyond. As a result, Task Force 86 was designated with the task of border patrol and security. One area that had become a further hotbed of criminal insurgency since the Attack on Mars was around the Azure Nebula in the region known as the [[The Triangle]]. Task Force 86 was assigned to setup its headquarters in this region as a starting point.  
 
  
===The Archanis Campaign ===
+
Virtually-identical to the ''Nova''-class in terms of external appearance, the ''Rhode Island''-class is sleek and angular with a triangular primary hull, rounded engineering hull, and two slender warp nacelles. Unlike her cousin, though, additional deck space has been found by reducing the size of the auxiliary deflector and instead giving additional space to decks 3 and 4.
Task Force 86's mandate was put to the test in 2399 when the [[Archanis Sector]] was attacked by the [[Hunters of D'Ghor]]. The Fourth Fleet sent a large presence into the sector to defend the border and remove the threat to the Federation colonists and other important assets. Along with other task forces, starships from Task Force 86 responding immediately to the invasion and were able to eventually push the rogue faction out of Federation territory. Working in tandem with other ships, the border was eventually secured from further raids by the Hunters, however the clean-up operation would require a lot of effort. While [[Task Force 93]] led on helping with repairs, rebuilding and recovery operations among the Federation colonies, it would be Task Force 86 that would be required to ensure the border was secure. Thanks to help from [[Task Force 17]], who had built a brand new sensor array near to the border, Task Force 86 were able to monitor and defend the border from any further attacks. After several months of heavy patrolling and the installment of new defense grids (or upgrades to existing ones), Task Force 86 was able to pull some of its forces from the area after it appeared that the tension along the border had returned to the status quo.

During the end of 2399, every single ship across Starfleet was placed on high alert after multiple sightings of the [[Omega molecule]] were reported. Task Force 86 was given the simple order: secure the border. During this crisis, it was vitally important for the Federation's territory to be defended. Orders were issued to all Task Force 86 ships and bases to patrol various borders, in the event local neighbors decided to take advantage of the situation. Captains were ordered to do whatever it took to ensure Federation security was maintained, such a harsh approach was a surprise to many crews however when it came apparent that Omega was a genuine threat across the entire galaxy, it was down to Task Force 86 to maintain order and prevent chaos from creeping into Federation space. Along with patrols, Task Force 86 ships provided escort to convoys of ships evacuating from affected areas or responded to those who needed help.

In early 2400, the [[Century Storm]] hit the [[ma:Paulson Nebula|Paulson Nebula]] and the surrounding region. This phenomenon severely affected those ships, stations and colonies that existed in this area, causing huge disruption to communication and placing lives on the line. To prevent millions from being killed, the Federation government ordered an immediate evacuation of the area. Elements from Task Force 86 responded to the distress calls of those in need but also aided in preventing criminal organizations from taking advantage of the innocent who were attempting to flee affected areas.

This massive political upheaval caused a high level of tension between the Federation and the various Romulan Factions. Task Force 86 ships were ordered to track any ships crossing the border and causing more strife that was not needed.  Those ships involved prevent some pirate ships from launching raids against civilian targets and halting any Romulan warlords from gaining resources from the black market. The Velorum Sector eventually opted to join the Romulan Republic once a majority of their worlds were stabilized, thanks to the efforts of Starfleet and a meditated deal led by the Federation.

The USS Seattle is a Rhode Island-class Federation starship operating as part of Fourth Fleet in Task Force 72. It is currently commanded by Captain Adriana Cruz. The ship has taken on an assortment of missions from acting as an escort to delivering vital materials as quickly as possible. However, the USS Seattle is mandated for border defense and meant to be handling pirate and the True Way terrorists.

History

After the wounding of the USS Anaheim Captain Nathan Hawthorne was left without a command for several months while repairs were being done on the California-class ship. Long wanting a change of command, and tired of serving to ferry doctors to disaster areas, Hawthorne was given command of the USS Seattle which was open after the events of Fleet Day. Assigned Commander Adriana Cruz as his First Officer he took command until eventually being injured in the line of duty and being removed from command to make was for his First Officer to take the mantle.

In A World Called Catastrophe

Attempting to assist a Cardassian cruiser that had lost its crew in a pre-warp civilization the USS Seattle sent down a team to investigate. This delayed the Cardassians sending down a tactical team that promised to take no prisoners freeing their people. A second Cardassian ship arrived in orbit but thankfully the work of Engsign William Hume allows the Seattle crew to stage a riot and free the hostages. The Cardassians gave a grudging thanks and departed.

While escorting the USS Casanova on a science mission the Senior Staff of the Seattle are able to take part in some holographic games in the holodecks. Unfortunately the USS Casanova angered some gods who stole the ships’ holodecks and played other tricks on the crews of the two Starfleet vessels. This forced the crew to engage in real life versions of their holographic games, until their ship is restored and they are able to continue on their way.

Main Article: Rhode Island Class

The USS Seattle is one of the most advanced ships of her size. Sleek and fast, she is equally capable as a fast exploration platform that can quickly map unknown space and as a tactically-oriented scout that can use her powerful sensor platforms to seek out threat vessels.

Virtually-identical to the Nova-class in terms of external appearance, the Rhode Island-class is sleek and angular with a triangular primary hull, rounded engineering hull, and two slender warp nacelles. Unlike her cousin, though, additional deck space has been found by reducing the size of the auxiliary deflector and instead giving additional space to decks 3 and 4.

After being squished aboard the USS Anaheim the crew that came with Captain Hawthorne have found the Seattle a spacious billing, with most of the crew either having individual rooms or sharing with one other officer unlike the hallway accommodations of the California Class ship. The Seattle is clean and modern. There are two observation lounges, two mess halls, a gymnasium, and a recreation area, along with two small holodecks.

The USS Seattle features paintings of Seattle’s (the city) skyline throughout the ages, from the days of its first founding to current day. These paintings are across from the turbolifts on every level of the ship starting with Seattle’s founding in 1851 through to a 2400 representation.

The ship’s main lounge is cheekily called ‘Nine Forward’ despite the ship having only 8 decks. It features a two-hundred degree view of space through windows, and the only non-Starfleet personnel on the ship in the small bar staff.

Auxiliary Craft

The USS Seattle has two shuttles the Sound Garden and the Pearl Jam named for Seattle based rock and roll bands from the 1990s. They have since put in a requisition for a Waverider-class atmospheric shuttle, which is one of the fastest atmospheric craft in Starfleet. This shuttle, if granted will join as the NIrvana.
