| }}'''Endeavour Squadron''' is a formation centered around the starship ''Endeavour'', a ''Constitution III''-class explorer. It is currently under the command of [[bfms_char:68761|Fleet Captain Lionel Jericho]] of the USS ''Triumph.'' The squadron is currently assigned to the rimward Federation border with the [[Romulan Factions]], tackling the many challenges of this difficult region. 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 [[bfms_char:16756|Vice Admiral Alexander Beckett]] for special assignments.

|
| The squadron's primary mission is to restore stability in this chaotic region. While ''Endeavour's'' historic mission of diplomacy stands, the squadron's formation under Fleet Captain Jericho demonstrates how seriously [[Starfleet]] takes the border's security. The group is directed to cooperate with friendly local factions and build in-roads with others, and the [[Federation]] remains intent on helping the dispossessed of the Romulan territories becoming self-sufficient and self-governing. Likewise, the assignment of the USS ''Pathfinder'' allows the squadron to pursue opportunities for exploration and scientific discovery opened up by the changes in governments and potential research agreements with new allies. But the region is not without its threats: the influence of the [[Romulan Free State]] and the Tal Shiar, the ambitions of smaller, volatile Romulan factions, the raiding of local pirate and criminal elements, and the renewed manipulations of the renegade [[House of Mo'Kai]], keen to exploit the chaos for their own interests.

| | Commands must be requested from the Intelligence Office. You may do so through the link in the Bravo Fleet Management System marked "Request a Command" on the left-hand side of the Writing Panel. Make sure to confirm that the registry item you are requesting is available and open to someone with your rank. Make sure to follow the directions in the [[Command Policy]]. You will not be able to add characters or other content until after the command has been approved by the Intelligence Office. |

| 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.

|
| === Squadron Formation (2401) === | | == Command Summary == |
| 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.
| | The Summary is a short (less than 300-character) description of your command, meant to entice readers to keep scrolling. This is the first box you will fill out under the manifest on your command. This is a plain-text area, so you will need to use HTML code for italics in ship names. Some folks use this area to display their dedication quote. Others update it regularly to mention the current mission. Some leave it static. Here is an example of the front and back ends for our example command, the USS ''Susan B. Anthony.'' Note: when an overlay image is used, or in banner mode, the ship's summary is not visible. |

|
| 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.
| | '''Back End:''' |
| | | [[File:BFMSCommandSummaryBackEnd.png|center]] |
| 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.

| ==Composition==
| |
| | |
| *[[File:Endeavourwiki2.png|right|frameless|alt=|225x225px]][[USS Endeavour|USS ''Endeavour'']] - [[Constitution III Class|''Constitution III''-class explorer]] — While Fleet Captain Jericho of the ''Triumph'' commands the squadron, ''Endeavour's'' capabilities keep her at the heart of operations. A powerful and flexible starship bolstering any mission, most of the squadron's assignments are planned around her. She is a strong diplomatic platform and well-equipped to provide humanitarian aid as much as she is tactically powerful. [[bfms_char:12418|Captain Matt Rourke]] has commanded her since her commissioning in early 2400, and he and his seasoned crew have spent most of the time since in the squadron's area of operations, bringing significant experience to the unit.
| |
| | |
| *[[File:Triumphwiki1.png|right|frameless|alt=|225x225px]][[USS Triumph|USS ''Triumph'']] - [[Inquiry Class|''Inquiry''-class heavy cruiser]] — The ''Triumph'' has served for years in significant tactical hot-spots around the quadrant. Fleet Captain Jericho leads the squadron from his ship, which has a primary focus of protecting the diplomatic mission and taking point on any security threats. The ''Triumph'' has been outfitted with a full squadron of ''Valkyrie''-class starfighters, and hosts the squadron's SCE team, who make permanent use of one of the ship's ''New Atlantic''-class runabouts.

| | |
| *[[File:Pathfinder_Rescue_01.jpeg|right|frameless|link=Special:FilePath/Pathfinder_Rescue01.jpeg|alt=|225x225px]][[USS Pathfinder|USS ''Pathfinder'']] - [[Pathfinder Class|''Pathfinder''-class long-range science vessel]] — ''Pathfinder'' is charged with the squadron's scientific operations, and so usually operates independently under [[bfms_char:19711/|Commander Karana Valance]]. In a region rife with upheaval, stellar sciences are only her secondary priority, and the research crew are primarily archaeologists, historians, and anthropologists. ''Pathfinder's'' responsibilities on the Romulan frontier combine exploring new opportunities for scientific discovery opened by the changing political landscape and supporting often dispossessed and forcibly relocated populations in recovering, restoring, and maintaining connections their history.
| |
| | |
| *[[File:Nighthawk1.jpg|alt=|right|frameless|225x225px]][[USS Nighthawk|USS ''Nighthawk'']] - [[Reliant Class|''Reliant''-class frigate]] — The ''Nighthawk'' is the designated support ship for the squadron. Captained by [[bfms_char:69254|Commander Daniran Kosst]], this frigate usually accompanies ''Endeavour'' or, more commonly, the ''Triumph'' on operations to provide assistance and reinforcements. If needed, she stays behind to resolve the final phases of long-term scientific or humanitarian operations as the rest of the squadron moves on or responds to more urgent affairs.
| |
| | |
| *[[File:Defindywiki1.png|alt=|right|frameless|225x225px]][[USS Independence|USS ''Independence'']] - [[Defiant Class|''Defiant''-class escort]] — The ''Independence'' is the scout and escort for the squadron under the command of [[bfms_char:69224|Commander Ramius Vornar]]. When necessary it provides reconnaissance in potentially dangerous situations, or tactical support to the other ships. While it often protects the ''Nighthawk'' or acts as escort to the ''Triumph'' in a deployment, the ''Independence'' is also charged with monitoring Mo'Kai activities, conducting security assessments, and where necessary interceding.
