While research and development activities are traditionally conducted from starbases and outposts within the Federation’s core territories, not all research occurs within a lab. Sometimes, the greatest discoveries are made amongst the stars. This is the mission of the USS Polaris.


The USS Polaris is an [[Odyssey Class|Odyssey class]] explorer within [[Task Force 93]] of the [[Fourth Fleet]] that is home to the Advanced Science, Technology and Research Activity (ASTRA), a specialized, cross-functional unit intended to fuel Starfleet’s innovation engine through exploration of strange new works, interactions and negotiations with alien species, and crisis response to some of the stranger realities on the rim of known space. It is also the flagship of Fleet Admiral Allison Reyes, conducting diplomatic and first contact duties as necessary to represent the interests of the Federation out on the frontier.

===Operational History ===
* Commander, Fourth Fleet: [[Bfms char:13085|Fleet Admiral Teylas Ramar]]
In 2394, construction of the USS Polaris completed at [[Starbase 93]]. Following a relatively calm first few years, in April 2399, the USS Polaris was allocated to the [[Fourth Fleet]] as part of the [[Campaign#Campaign_0:_The_Osiris_Initiative|Osiris Initiative]]. Due to the versatility and size of the [[Odyssey Class|Odyssey class]], it was selected as the platform to host the Advanced Science, Technology and Research Activity, a specialized unit with an ambitious mandate to conduct research on the frontier to fuel Starfleet's innovation engine.

*** Director of Fourth Fleet Intelligence: [[Bfms char:16756|Admiral Alexander Beckett]]
In order to support the mission of the Advanced Science, Technology and Research Activity, the Polaris spent several more months in spacedock undergoing modifications for the specialized equipment and labs to support the needs of the Activity, and it launched officially in September 2399 under the command of [[bfms char:69|Fleet Admiral Allison Reyes]].

The USS Polaris was dispatched to find two ships that had gone missing deep in the Talvath Cluster. As it began its search, the USS Polaris' warp field collapsed and it became stranded due to incongruities in local subspace. The ASTRA Astrophysics and Exotic Sciences Team attempted to derive a new formalism around a spacetime whose existence shouldn't have been possible, but yet absolutely was what they found themselves within.

*****Deputy Commander, Task Force 17: [[Bfms char:99986|Commander Stephanie Andrade]]
While work was ongoing to find a way to reestablish a warp field, the USS Polaris made first contact with a xenophobic alien species. It was learned that, almost two millennia ago, this species had folded spacetime, in a still not understood manner, in order to shut off outside access and defend themselves against aggression of pre-Imperial Romulan warlords. Ultimately, this species, whose refused to provide a name, assisted the USS Polaris and her sister ships in returning to Federation space under the condition that the Federation never return.

In the early days of [https://bravofleet.com/mission/76499/ the Lost Fleet crisis], the  [[Nasera System]] fell to the [[Dominion]] and [[Breen Confederacy|Breen]] assault. One of the oldest Federation colonies in the [[Deneb Sector]] and a key industrial center, retaking Nasera was deemed a key priority by [[Fourth Fleet Command]]. A covert action team, comprised of USS Polaris [[Hazard Team]] members and private contractors, was dispatched to Nasera II to disrupt planetary and orbital defenses, paving the way for the USS Polaris and a small assault wing to execute a counter-offensive to recapture the system.
