{{quote|I'm inspired by how dragonflies are both tough and fragile, fierce and mild.|'''Cindy Crosby -''Ship's dedication quote'''''}}
== 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.


Based out of [[Starbase 72]], close to the [[Cardassian Union|Cardassian]] border, '''Task Force 72’s''' ships are at the forefront of diplomatic intervention and peacekeeping. Their duties focus on engagement with political powers in volatile regions, ensuring stability between major governments and the protection of local populaces.
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.


== Objectives ==
== Design and Layout ==


* Perform critical and sensitive diplomatic missions within and outside of Federation space, especially those with national security implications.
===Bridge===
* Execute peacekeeping operations in conjunction with allies and friendly powers
[[File:Bridge.jpg|thumb|left|Bridge for the '''USS Dragonfly''' / image credit: image credit: [https://tadeodoria.com/projects/OmlwDe?album_id=68213 Tadeo D'Oria]]]  
* Build alliances, trade relations, and other diplomatic relationships that foster peace across the galaxy
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. 
* Lead Starfleet efforts in specific diplomatic flashpoints, including:
** The [[True Way]] crisis in the [[Former Demilitarized Zone]]
** Delta and Gamma Quadrant second and third contact operations
** Ongoing negotiations with worlds now under Federation influence following the collapse of the [[Romulan Neutral Zone]]


== Overview ==
{{clear}}
Unlike nearly every other large spacefaring civilization, the United Federation of Planets does not expand primarily through conquest or even large-scale colonization, but through diplomacy. For over two hundred years, Starfleet has served as the Federation’s first, best impression and its most adept diplomatic arm. First contacts, trade negotiations, ceasefires, and countless other diplomatic exercises conducted by starship captains have slowly but steadily turned the Federation into the largest and most progressive alliance of species the galaxy has ever seen. This is the spirit that guides Task Force 72, the Fourth Fleet’s designated Diplomatic Operations unit.

All starship captains are empowered to conduct negotiations on behalf of the Federation, as real-time consultations with Starfleet Command and the Federation Council is often impossible for front-line exploratory vessels, but Task Force 72’s specific mandate is to handle the most pressing and sensitive diplomatic missions within and outside of Federation space, especially those with national security implications for the Federation and its member worlds. This task force also handles peacekeeping operations and conducts many joint operations with allied or friendly powers, such as the Klingon Empire, Cardassian Union, and the Romulan Republic.

Historically, Task Force 72 was assigned specifically to the Federation-Cardassian Border and remains headquartered at Starbase 72 in the Minos Korva system, but its operations have expanded to the full width and breadth of the Fourth Fleet’s tip-of-the-spear ethos, with vessels in all four quadrants of the galaxy. The evolving diplomatic situation in the Former Demilitarized Zone remains a focus for the task force, with a number of ships directly working with the Cardassian military to end the True Way crisis diplomatically and through direct peacekeeping operations. Other important operations include forging new alliances with Delta Quadrant powers, and ongoing negotiations with neutral worlds within Federation space that the Federation is eager to finally bring into the fold.

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.

Minos Korva was a system targeted by both the Cardassian and Dominion Wars. It never fell to either power, and is home to the present headquarters for Task Force 72: Starbase 72. It is here that officers slated for command of ships in Task Force 72 are trained in the art of diplomacy and where most TF72 ships are refit and repaired. It is also the headquarters for Starfleet's peacekeeping mission against the forces of the True Way in the Former Demilitarized Zone.

== Task Force History ==
=== Type 12 Shuttle ===
Task Force 72 is one of the oldest Task Forces in the 4th Fleet, notable for never being disband in the turbulent decades since its inception. Task Force 72 was formed initially as a defensive screen for the still-under-construction Starbase 72 in 2373, but its duties gradually expanded to included oversight over the majority of the Federation-Cardassian Border.


It has been a more than a decade since the signing of the Treaty of Bajor ending the Dominion War and the cessation of hostilities between the Federation Alliance and the Dominion. Since the end of the war, Task force 72's mission has changed in size and scope many time. Though the mid 2380's until early 2399 Task Force 72 has encompassed most of the Alpha Quadrant but was stretched thin as Starfleet pulled away resources in the wake of the attack on Mars.

The decision by Starfleet to advance its operations included a reform of Task Force 72's mandate to bring it in-line with the reforms to the [[Fourth Fleet|4th Fleet]], to serve as one of its specialist units. Already experts at operating in diplomatically fraught regions, Task Force 72 was given the same galaxy-wide operational jurisdiction as the rest of Bravo Fleet.

"I'm inspired by how dragonflies are both tough and fragile, fierce and mild."

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.
