}}'''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.
  
'''Challenger Squadron''' is a formation commanded by [[bfms_char:30476/|Fleet Captain Thomas Forrester]] operating within [[Fourth Fleet Operations]]. Challenger Squadron's early history is marked by bureaucratic indecision and upheaval, but after spending the Frontier Day celebrations at Coltar IV, Challenger Squadron was finally dispatched on the mission for which it was formed; exploration of formerly [[Dominion]] occupied territories in the [[Gamma Quadrant]].

Challenger Squadron was formed in January 2401 with the [[Odyssey Class|''Odyssey''-class heavy explorer]] [[USS Challenger|USS ''Challenger'']] as the core. The [[USS Inverness|USS ''Inverness'']], an [[Excelsior II Class|''Excelsior II''-class heavy cruiser]], and the [[USS Higgs|USS ''Higgs'']]'','' a ''[[Nova Class|Nova]]''[[Nova Class|-class surveyor]], were also assigned to the Squadron.

*** Chief of Staff, Fourth Fleet: [[Bfms char:24691|Rear Admiral Maxwell Stafford]]
The original plan for Challenger Squadron was to travel to the Gamma Quadrant where it would begin to explore areas that had recently opened up to Starfleet due to the withdrawal of the [[Dominion]] in the previous decade. However, their departure was almost immediately delayed for a week while [[Fourth Fleet Command]] argued with Starfleet Command. The departure date slipped further before the mission was put on hold indefinitely.

*** Director of Fourth Fleet Operations: [[Bfms char:86412|Fleet Admiral Luke Duncan]]
With the Squadron's mission scrubbed, the ''Inverness'' was removed and reassigned to operations along the Federation/Cardassian border, while the Challenger was assigned to various diplomatic tasks and the ''Higgs'' focused on operations within the Paulson Nebula. Challenger Squadron was dispatched to the [[Deneb Sector]] in March 2401 following reports of attacks by a [[The Lost Fleet|Dominion fleet]] thought lost in the Bajoran Wormhole a quarter of a century earlier. The ''Challenger'' assisted in the evacuation and defence of a small colony near the Federation/Breen border and the ''Higgs'' was assigned to transport parts and engineers to Galadkail Minor. During it's journey, the ''Higgs'' was intercepted by a trio of Jem'Hadar fighters. While they were able to fend off the attack, it came with a heavy price; the death of the ''Higgs''<nowiki/>' Captain, [[bfms_char:68762/|Anastasia Matheson]]. Later, Challenger Squadron would be present at the [[The Lost Fleet|Battle of Farpoint]], which saw the remnants of the Dominion Fleet defeated.

Due to the damage sustained during the Deneb Campaign, the ''Higgs'' would have to spend the next few months undergoing repairs. Fourth Fleet Command replaced her with the [[Intrepid Class|''Intrepid''-class]] [[USS Toronto|USS ''Toronto'']] while at the same time adding the [[Rhode Island Class|''Rhode Island''-class]] [[USS Endurance|USS ''Endurance'']] to the Squadron in preparation for them to finally embark on their mission to the Gamma Quadrant. Only one thing stood between Challenger Squadron and the Gamma Quadrant; the Frontier Day celebrations at Coltar IV, which Fleet Captain Forrester had promised the colony's Governor.

== Current Composition ==
 
* [[Fogg Station]] - [[Jupiter Class|''Jupiter''-class station]] - Fogg Station is the headquarters for Challenger Squadron and home of the Joint Terraforming Project, a venture between the Federation and the Cardassian Union to terraform the Class N planet Naroli II, in the former Demilitarised Zone.
 
* [[USS Challenger|USS ''Challenger'']] ''- [[Odyssey Class|Odyssey]]''[[Odyssey Class|-class heavy explorer]] - ''Challenger'' is the flagship, tasked with the bulk of the diplomatic work the squadron will take on. For this reason it's diplomatic detachment has recently been beefed up under the command of [[bfms_char:38696/|Commander Matthias Bentley]]. With it's extensive medical facilities, the ''Challenger'' also provides medical and counselling support to the rest of the squadron. In addition to commanding Challenger Squadron, [[bfms_char:30476/|Fleet Captain Forrester]] has also commanded the ''Challenger'' herself since January 2401.
 
**[[USS Cernan|USS ''Cernan'']] - [[Aquarius Class|''Aquarius''-class escort]] - Embarked on the newly constructed USS ''Challenger'', the USS ''Cernan'' supports the work of her mothership and allowed for greater flexibility both in combat and in the flagship's scientific endeavours.
 
* [[USS Toronto|USS ''Toronto'']] - [[Intrepid Class|''Intrepid''-class light explorer]] - The Toronto's role within the Squadron leans into her scientific abilities, acting as the Squadron's science vessel. [[bfms_char:82982/|Captain Sofia Vestri]] is a career science officer and is the perfect choice to lead the ''Toronto'' and her crew on their exploration of the Gamma Quadrant. Captain Vestri is also the Squadron's Deputy Commander.
 
* [[USS Endurance|USS ''Endurance'']] - [[Rhode Island Class|''Rhode Island''-class scout]] - Thanks to her advanced sensors and tactical abilities, the ''Endurance'' has been assigned to act as Challenger Squadron's scout with a focus on tactical analysis of the regions of the Gamma Quadrant that have until recently been under Dominion occupation. [[bfms_char:76529/|Commander Theodore Dalton]] has recently been assigned to command the ''Endurance'', following the retirement of her previous commander, Captain Nikita Antonov.
 
 
 
== Former Components ==
 
 
 
* [[USS Inverness|USS ''Inverness'']] - [[Excelsior II Class|''Excelsior II-''class heavy cruiser]] - The ''Inverness'' was due to act as the Squadron's logistical support, providing a regular link between the Gamma Quadrant based Squadron and the Alpha Quadrant. Captain Everett Ashford commanded the ''Inverness'' until 2401.
 
* [[USS Higgs|USS ''Higgs'']] - [[Nova Class|''Nova-''class surveyor]] - The primary role of the ''Higgs'' was to be undertaking long term, in-depth surveys of the star systems in the Gamma Quadrant. Sadly due to bureaucratic infighting and the actions of the Dominion's Lost Fleet, it would never get to fulfil that mission. [[bfms_char:68762/|Captain Anastasia Matheson]] commanded the ''Higgs'' between December 2400 until her death in March 2401.

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.
