}}'''Endeavour Squadron''' is a formation based out of [[Gateway Station]], on the Federation's [[Beta Quadrant]] border. Its primary duty is to support Gateway's mission in the [[Midgard Sector]] of maintaining regional stability through diplomatic and humanitarian operations, and pursuing avenues of scientific research and exploration into the former territories of the [[Old Romulan Star Empire]]. Its commanding officer keeps their flag aboard the USS ''Endeavour'', which leads exploratory and diplomatic missions, and is the first ship sent on operations beyond the Midgard Sector.

== Summary ==
 
The '''USS ''Dragonfly''''' symbolizes change, transformation, and adaptability in almost every part of the world. The ''Dragonfly'', commissioned in 2390, was sent to the furthest regions of [[Federation]] space. Her mission: to assist in the rebuilding of war-torn systems and societies. Pushing further into the unknown, the ''Dragonfly'' represented a return to Starfleet’s golden age of exploration and diplomacy.  
 
  
In 2400, the ''Dragonfly'' was reassigned to the [[Fourth Fleet]]’s Diplomatic Operations. Recently upgraded, the ''Dragonfly'' is a vessel to be seen while traveling Federation borders, visiting her allies, and doing the work necessary to rebuild. Under the command of Captain Vidre Naris, the ''Dragonfly'' continues her original mission parameters to further the ideals of the Federation through diplomatic and humanitarian efforts.

In late 2399, Diplomatic Corps official [[bfms_char:40627|Sophia Hale]] began a mission to improve Federation relationships with the factions of the former [[Romulan Neutral Zone]] through local diplomacy, humanitarian aid, and cooperation with the interested major Romulan governments. The USS ''Endeavour'' was chosen as the Starfleet platform for this mission, First Secretary Hale working alongside Captain Rourke on multiple operations to improve conditions in the volatile region. These operations were massively disrupted by the collapse of the [[Star Empire of Rator]], with Starfleet resources subsequently redirected to mitigate the fallout.
[[File:Bridge.jpg|thumb|left|Bridge for the '''USS Dragonfly''' / image credit: [https://tadeodoria.com/projects/OmlwDe?album_id=68213 Tadeo D'Oria]]]The Main Bridge provides primary operational control for the ''Dragonfly'' at the top of the primary hull. It is located on Deck 1. The Main Bridge directly supervises all primary mission operations and coordinates all departmental activities. The bridge is a modular unit with the ''Dragonfly'' currently utilizing the standard ''Sovereign''-class layout. Due to the nature of the business conducted on the bridge, access is limited to authorized personnel and those assigned to bridge duty.

As the dust settled on the Star Empire of Rator's collapse, the Federation began considering its long-term future in the region. Closer ties to the Romulan Republic and greater potential volatility gave Starfleet more of a vested interest to get involved, and had opened up new opportunities to explore territories to which the Star Empire would never have granted them access. First Secretary Hale initially received orders in late 2400 to resume her mission, but the USS ''Endeavour'' was in the Delta Quadrant at the time, and thus the diplomatic undertaking was delayed.
[[File:Obslounge.jpg|thumb|left|Observation Lounge for the '''USS Dragonfly''' / image credit: [https://tadeodoria.com/projects/OmlwDe?album_id=68213 Tadeo D'Oria]]]
 
Aboard the ''Dragonfly'', the observation lounge is used as a meeting place for the ship's senior staff and special events or informal gatherings. The room is decorated with various paintings, plants, and items depicting the Dragonfly's lineage.

Managing a ship as large as the Dragonfly can be difficult. To facilitate this ease of administration, the Command Officers have a separate office in which to do their work. This area is directly off of the main bridge. The Ready Room, as it's called, can also be reached by turbolifts, for those visitors who don’t have clearance to enter the bridge.  
 
  
Captain Naris has decorated her office with several items, including a picture of her daughter and of her deceased husband. In total the office space is rather sparse. Having just moved to the ''Dragonfly'', Captain Naris hasn't personalized the space beyond a few pictures and a small plant that sits on her desk.

In late 2400, fresh disruptions in worlds along the spinward Romulan border and coreward borders of the [[Klingon Empire]] altered strategic concerns. Increased raids from pirates based in [[The Triangle]] were joined by political upheaval from Klingon residents of Federation border territories, all suspected to be backed by the House of Mo'Kai. With the Neutral Zone still unstable, Starfleet decided to take a heavier approach than the primarily diplomatic mission of First Secretary Hale, and formed a new squadron to face these challenges.

The USS ''Endeavour'' was retained and listed as the lead ship, largely so Starfleet could reap the benefits of their good relations in the area. But a security-focused task group led by Fleet Captain Jericho of the USS ''Triumph'' and including the ''Independence'' and ''Nighthawk'' were integrated into the squadron, with Jericho assigned as squadron commander. First Secretary Hale and her diplomatic mission remained part of the squadron, now based on the USS ''Triumph'' to work more closely with the leadership.

The Sunspot is located on deck 10, which is set on the forward edge of the primary hull. It has a very relaxed and congenial air about it; The Lounge is the only place on the ship where rank means nothing - "sir" need not be uttered when a person of lower rank addresses an officer, and everyone is on an equal footing. Opinions can be voiced in complete safety. This lounge is the social center of the ship. On the ''Dragonfly'', the lounge is operated by Lon Tik.

The Officer's Mess, formerly the Captain's Mess, is a space designated for the Senior Staff and invited guests to relax, unwind, and decompress from the day's events.

On rare occasions, Junior Officers are invited as guests in recognition of their achievements.

Endeavour Squadron is a formation based out of Gateway Station, on the Federation's Beta Quadrant border. Its primary duty is to support Gateway's mission in the Midgard Sector of maintaining regional stability through diplomatic and humanitarian operations, and pursuing avenues of scientific research and exploration into the former territories of the Old Romulan Star Empire. Its commanding officer keeps their flag aboard the USS Endeavour, which leads exploratory and diplomatic missions, and is the first ship sent on operations beyond the Midgard Sector. The squadron is assigned directly to Fourth Fleet Operations and not one of the fleet's task forces, though is often favoured by Director of Fourth Fleet Intelligence Vice Admiral Alexander Beckett for special assignments.

History

USS Endeavour (2400)

In late 2399, Diplomatic Corps official Sophia Hale began a mission to improve Federation relationships with the factions of the former Romulan Neutral Zone through local diplomacy, humanitarian aid, and cooperation with the interested major Romulan governments. The USS Endeavour was chosen as the Starfleet platform for this mission, First Secretary Hale working alongside Captain Rourke on multiple operations to improve conditions in the volatile region. These operations were massively disrupted by the collapse of the Star Empire of Rator, with Starfleet resources subsequently redirected to mitigate the fallout.

Squadron Formation (2401)

As the dust settled on the Star Empire of Rator's collapse, the Federation began considering its long-term future in the region. Closer ties to the Romulan Republic and greater potential volatility gave Starfleet more of a vested interest to get involved, and had opened up new opportunities to explore territories to which the Star Empire would never have granted them access. First Secretary Hale initially received orders in late 2400 to resume her mission, but the USS Endeavour was in the Delta Quadrant at the time, and thus the diplomatic undertaking was delayed.

Composition

USS Endeavour

USS Endeavour

USS Endeavour is a Constitution III-class explorer and the flagship of the squadron. Even alone, she is a powerful platform for the unit's exploratory operations. While based out of Gateway Station and taking point on diplomatic missions across the Romulan border, the fall of the RSE has granted Starfleet access to previously-unknown regions of space. Endeavour is charged with its exploration, and with securing even greater access to territories beyond Federation borders through negotiation and cooperation with local factions.

Gateway Station

Gateway Station

Gateway Station is a Canopus-class space station, the centre for Federation operations in the Midgard Sector, and the headquarters of the squadron. Standing at the border to what was once the Romulan Neutral Zone and Star Empire and is now a wilderness of independent factions, Gateway is charged with maintaining regional stability and providing diplomatic outreach.

USS Tempest

USS Tempest is a Rhode Island-class scout attached to Gateway. She is used by the station's crew for long-range operations for which Gateway's many runabouts or shuttles would be unsuited.
