| }}'''Arcturus Squadron''' is a formation centered around the starship ''Arcturus'', an ''Odyssey''-class explorer. It is currently under the command of [[bfms_char:15254|Vice Admiral Elizabeth Hayden]]. The ships in this squadron are currently assigned to explore the area of space in and around the Talvath Cluster and spent the majority of 2399 and 2400 in the Delta Quadrant. This [[:Category:Squadrons|squadron]] is assigned directly to [[Fourth Fleet]] Operations and not one of the fleet's task forces.

| == History ==
| | The '''USS ''Ride''''' is an [[Odyssey Class|''Odyssey''-class]] explorer operated by [[Fourth Fleet]]. |
|

|
| === Task Forces 38 & 9 (2399) === | | ===Notable Crew=== |
| Arcturus Squadron was first constituted on the comissioning of the USS ''Arcturus'', under the command of then-Commodore Elizabeth Hayden in 2399. Initially assigned to Task Force 38, the squadron performed initial surveys of the [[Nacene Reach]]. When returning to the Alpha Quadrant for debriefing later that year, the squadron participated in the [[Battle of Barzan II]], during which the Breen killed Vice Admiral Jonathan Knox and sparked renewed border tensions between the two powers.

| Commodore Hayden was promoted to Rear Admiral and ordered to lead a newly reformed Task Force 9 in interdiction and frontier security efforts, with Arcturus Squadron continuing to serve as her vanguard.

| === Fourth Fleet Operations (2399 to Present) ===
| |
| Starting in mid-2399, Arcturus Squadron was assigned directly to the Headquarters Division of Fourth Fleet Operations, and participated in both the [[Archanis Campaign|Archanis]] and [[Echoes of the Tkon|Tkon-Omega]] Campaigns. For the first half of 2400, Admiral Hayden was teaching at Starfleet Academy and the squadron was temporarily led by the flagship's captain, Captain Michael Lancaster, during its participation in the [[Century Storm]] Campaign, though she returned by the time of the [[Blood Dilithium|Blood Dilithium Campaign]] at the end of that year.
| |
| | |
| In late 2399, Arcturus Squadron was assigned to commence detailed surveys of the Talvath Expanse coreward of the [[Romulan Free State]], with the addition of the ''Antares'' to accompany ''Arcturus'' and ''Apollo, with their'' operations coordinated through [[Overwatch Station]].
