}}'''Fourth Fleet Command''', also known as '''Bravo Fleet Command''', is the central leadership authority of Starfleet's Fourth Fleet. Based on Starbase Bravo and with offices across Federation space, including at Starfleet Headquarters on Earth, this group of flag officers and their staff make important decisions about where to send the Fourth Fleet's ships to carry out its defensive, humanitarian, and exploratory goals.


==Objectives==
==Leadership==
* '''Negotiate''' with local powers for access to regions unexplored by the [[Federation]];
* '''Explore''' beyond frontiers once politically-inaccessible to Starfleet;
* '''Maintain''' relationships with regional governments to secure necessary mission support;
* '''Build''' bridges with foreign powers by demonstrating the value of these on-going, mutually-beneficial agreements.


==Overview==
* Commander, Fourth Fleet: [[Bfms char:13085|Fleet Admiral Teylas Ramar]]
The changing status quo of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants has seen some borders collapse, others arise, and the friends and foes of the Federation change in warmth or hostility. Beyond the danger of such disruption are the opportunities born of new relationships and vanishing barriers.
** Deputy Commander, Fourth Fleet: [[Bfms char:49761|Admiral Liam Dahlgren]]
 
*** Director of Fourth Fleet Intelligence: [[Bfms char:16756|Admiral Alexander Beckett]]
These opportunities are the mission of Task Force 47. However close or far, they are charged to treat and negotiate with foreign governments to secure access to regions of space near or even within their borders. From there, Starfleet can explore areas never before available to them, whether they be on their doorstep and once locked away by politics, or on the far side of the quadrants and unavailable due to limited resources. Whether these locals offer merely begrudging acceptance of Starfleet’s proximity, open access to pass through their space, or outright support for Federation vessels, these are opportunities that cannot be missed.
**** Deputy Director of Fourth Fleet Intelligence: [[Bfms char:27493|Commodore Alexandra Sudari-Kravchik]]
 
*** Chief of Staff, Fourth Fleet: [[Bfms char:24691|Rear Admiral Maxwell Stafford]]
This is a blend of exploration and diplomacy, for the latter is an ongoing responsibility to prove Starfleet is as good as their word, and demonstrate the value of such close scientific relationships. And the chance to go where no one could go before is beyond value.
**** Deputy Chief of Staff, Fourth Fleet: [[Bfms char:21788|Fleet Captain Thelor ch'Idrani]]
 
*** Director of Fourth Fleet Operations: [[Bfms char:86412|Fleet Admiral Luke Duncan]]
==Task Force Assets and Headquarters==
****Deputy Director of Fourth Fleet Operations: [[Bfms char:25776|Commodore Imya Jori]]
The [[Thomar Expanse]] represents a fine example of the task force’s mission. On one side of this stretch of unclaimed space is the [[Cardassian Union]], begrudgingly accepting Starfleet’s proximity. On the other are the [[Breen Confederacy]] and the [[Tzenkethi Coalition]], near-hostile if Starfleet should stray too close. Exploration is a careful mission of balancing discovery with diplomacy.
****Commander, Task Force 17: [[Bfms char:88217|Captain Callen Varro]]
 
*****Deputy Commander, Task Force 17: Vacant
Starfleet ships must pass through the [[ma:Badlands|Badlands]] to reach the task force’s headquarters, [[Deep Space 47]], the first stop on this new frontier. A smaller outpost, it provides essential supplies and support to ship operations within the Expanse, and allows Task Force 47 to conduct its missions in the region.
****Commander, Task Force 47: [[Bfms char:27493|Commodore Alexandra Sudari-Kravchik]]
 
*****Deputy Commander, Task Force 47: [[Bfms char:86925|Captain Varen Wyll]]
Task Force 47's flagship, [[USS_Nobel|USS ''Nobel'']] acts as the task force's mobile command centre when required, under the careful command of [[Captain Sothaal Th'thriannen]]. The vessel maintains most of her fitments from her time in the Delta Quadrant as her new mission is much like her old one, just slightly closer to home.

==Task Force History==
The late-24th century was a time of significant political upheaval. Friendship with the [[Klingon Empire]] collapsed and was rebuilt; the Dominion War made allies of the [[Old Romulan Star Empire|Romulan Star Empire]] only for the [[ma:Romulan sun|Romulan Supernova]] to shatter the once-great power. Post-war negotiations with the Cardassian Union have warmed and cooled and warmed again over the decades. The old order, and the once-indelible borders of historic politics, have been strained if not swept away.
 
Beyond the disruption to the status quo, some in Starfleet view this as a grand opportunity. The collapse of the [[Romulan Neutral Zone]] and new friends in the [[Romulan Republic]] has granted access to regions never before visited by the Federation. New relationships with powers like the Cardassians and the Gorn have given similar chances. Chances for friendship and diplomacy, for certain, but also chances for new missions of exploration.
 
It became apparent to the [[Fourth Fleet]] that these were specific missions requiring ships ready to conduct diplomacy with potentially old enemies even as they blazed new paths of discovery. At the dawn of the twenty-fifth century with its new opportunities, new politics, new alliances, Task Force 47 was forged as these pathfinders, seeking and building these roads before walking them.
