'''Cormorant Station''' is a [[Jupiter Class]] starbase located near the border between the [[United Federation of Planets]] and the [[Romulan Republic]]. Built in the aftermath of the Romulan Supernova, Cormorant Station was established in response to the new research and exploration opportunities opened by the Republic's positive relationship with the Federation. A [[Starfleet]]-run and operated scientific facility, it makes use of its runabouts and shuttles to study regions and phenomena of the former [[Romulan Neutral Zone]] and [[Old Romulan Star Empire]] previously inaccessible to the Federation.

USS Blythe (NCC-12114) is a California-class utility cruiser assigned to the Fourth Fleet. The Blythe initially was equipped as a science support variant of her class, with science-teal markings on the hull and significant interior space devoted to science labs and probe storage. In 2401, the Blythe underwent a refit aimed at reconfiguring it for a Command role, and as part of this transformation, it was repainted in a distinctive red color to signify this change in its mission profile. The USS Blythe is currently under the command of Captain Silas Crowe.

First Commission (2385 - 2390)

The Blythe's crew included a sizeable science department, half of whom were civilian scientists from the Romulan Free State. As part of the diplomatic efforts of Task Force 17, the joint crew was engaged on a long-term mission to explore lasting peace between the Federation and the Free State by working together in the pursuit of knowledge.

Relishing in exploratory research of the social sciences, the Blythe's crew of archaeologists and anthropologists often took the slow road, following in the footsteps of explorers and cruisers discovering new civilizations.

Decommissioned Period (2390 - 2401)

During the ten-year interval between the Blythe's regular commissions, it was occasionally deployed for brief transport or repair missions, albeit not extensively. Consequently, there are no noteworthy events recorded during this timeframe.

Second Commission (2401 - Present)

After the events of the 250th Frontier Day in 2401 the USS Blythe was brought into active service again. This time the Blythe dawned red colors and served as a support vessel for the deep space operations of Task Force 17.

Being one of the few ships left in Starfleet without the NX12.11 Fleet Formation Protocol the USS Blythe was commissioned by Starfleet instead of another unnamed vessel. The Blythe and its newfound crew were tasked with investigating a potential Dominion threat in the Alpha Quadrant.

Command History

As of 2401, the Blythe has had two commanding officers.
