}}The '''USS ''Nestus''''' is a [[Raven Class|''Raven'' class]] corvette assigned to the [[Fourth Fleet]], operating out of [[Starbase 72]].  Specialist social sciences teams from the starbase are rotated onto the ''Nestus'' on a mission-by-mission basis.  Equipped to venture on missions of a month or less, the ''Nestus'' comfortably accommodates a variable crew of 10 to 20.  With an etymology dating back to a mythological river god, the USS ''Nestus'' serves as a winding link between lakes of mystery and the oceanic depths of undiscovered knowledge.  Be it missions of exploration, research or diplomacy, the crew of ''Nestus'' seeks out the undefined bonds that hold civilizations together. 
  
The '''Fourth Fleet''', colloquially known as '''Bravo Fleet''', is one of the numbered fleets that make up [[Starfleet]]. Founded in response to the Borg incursions and rising Dominion threat of the 2360s and 70s, for much of the past two decades it has been assigned duties following the [[United Federation of Planets|Federation's]] non-interventionist policies since the Attack on Mars. Recently, however, the Fourth Fleet has been repurposed for missions beyond the Federation's territory and interests. With a highly specialised array of Task Forces, Bravo Fleet is dedicated to frontier defence, humanitarian support across borders, diplomatic engagement, and deep-space exploration.

From late 2399 to early 2400, the ''Nestus'' and her interim crews were commanded by [[bfms_char:48362/|Commander Taes]] on archaeology and anthropology missions.
  
The modern incarnation of the Fourth Fleet came into being after the Borg incursion of 2367, which triggered a period of Starfleet developing its militarised technology and policies, leading to the development of a technologically cutting-edge fighting force preparing for future such encounters. Bravo Fleet was officially formed shortly after the Battle of Sector 001, but early Starfleet losses in the Dominion War saw a need for better strategic and tactical cooperation between their forces and those of the [[Klingon Empire]]. Thus was the fleet repurposed as the Starfleet wing of the primary joint force with the KDF, fitted and developed as a combat unit from the beginning, albeit now against a different foe. After the war, Bravo Fleet retained this status as a flexible unit adapting to Starfleet needs, often on dangerous frontiers.
+
On her first mission in 2400, the USS ''Nestus'' conducted an anthropological study into Federation emergency management through the experiences of Eldflaugar lunar colonists, who were displaced from their homes by the [[Century Storm]]. ''Nestus'' experienced a harrowing flight through the edge of one those ion storm en route to her mission.  The colonists were relocated to the planet Haven by the USS ''Gheryzan'' and the crew of the ''Nestus'' embedded in the ''Gheryzan''<nowiki/>'s relief efforts to begin observations of the survivors of Eldflaugar. As survivors were canvassed for their informed consent to participate in the study, the crew's anthropologists began ethnographic interviews to understand the survivors current and ancestral experiences of coping through disasters.
  
The [[ma:Attack on Mars|Attack on Mars]] led to a significant shift in Starfleet protocols. Federation policy demanded a non-interventionist approach to interstellar affairs, a focus within its own borders in resources, defence, and research. Bravo Fleet thus spent much of the next fifteen years with minimal resources, plugging gaps where needed and rarely fulfilling its original mandate. This changed in 2399 with a shift in the lower echelons of [[Starfleet Command Staff|Starfleet Command]], a drive to return to Starfleet's traditional role, and a reluctant allocation of resources and a new mission for Bravo Fleet followed.
+
Mission logs from the ''Nestus'' note several irregularities to the mission, including the discovery of leading questions in the ethnographic interview and Commander Taes taking the Eldflaugar leaders on an orbit of Haven in one of the ''Gheryzan''<nowiki/>'s shuttles without a documented flight plan. Following a thorough audit of the study, the crew of the ''Nestus'' was able to complete their anthropological survey with the blessing of the Eldflaugar.  All of the gathered data was delivered to a science team on [[Starbase Bravo]] for further study. ''Nestus'' experienced warp engine troubles due to her flight through the ion storm and required repairs on Starbase 72. By the time ''Nestus'' was repaired to flight ready status, Commander Taes had been assigned a starship command of he rown.
[[File:Starfleet1.jpg|thumb|Many of the galaxy's dangers still require a large-scale response from Starfleet.]]
 
Now, specialised task forces undertake key operations across the galaxy on matters of diplomatic intervention and deep space exploration, with Starfleet ships pushing beyond borders and involving themselves in political engagements of other powers on a scale barely seen in two decades. With relatively limited resources and support from Starfleet, and many apprehensive that their mission may draw the attention of threats to the Federation, old and new, the Fourth Fleet faces an uphill battle in upholding Starfleet’s legacy of diplomacy, exploration, and peace.
 
  
The Fourth Fleet is led by the senior officers of [[Fourth Fleet Command]].

As a collection of highly-adaptive, specialised task forces, Bravo Fleet is a largely decentralised unit with wings across the galaxy to meet the changing needs on Federation frontiers. Each task force thus maintains a headquarters in the region of the galaxy that presently most benefits from their presence. However, any ship may be dispatched to any sector requiring their expertise and involvement.

The USS Nestus is a Raven class corvette assigned to the Fourth Fleet, operating out of Starbase 72. Specialist social sciences teams from the starbase are rotated onto the Nestus on a mission-by-mission basis. Equipped to venture on missions of a month or less, the Nestus comfortably accommodates a variable crew of 10 to 20. With an etymology dating back to a mythological river god, the USS Nestus serves as a winding link between lakes of mystery and the oceanic depths of undiscovered knowledge. Be it missions of exploration, research or diplomacy, the crew of Nestus seeks out the undefined bonds that hold civilizations together.

Operational History

Storm in a Teacup

From late 2399 to early 2400, the Nestus and her interim crews were commanded by Commander Taes on archaeology and anthropology missions.

On her first mission in 2400, the USS Nestus conducted an anthropological study into Federation emergency management through the experiences of Eldflaugar lunar colonists, who were displaced from their homes by the Century Storm. Nestus experienced a harrowing flight through the edge of one those ion storm en route to her mission. The colonists were relocated to the planet Haven by the USS Gheryzan and the crew of the Nestus embedded in the Gheryzan's relief efforts to begin observations of the survivors of Eldflaugar. As survivors were canvassed for their informed consent to participate in the study, the crew's anthropologists began ethnographic interviews to understand the survivors current and ancestral experiences of coping through disasters.

Mission logs from the Nestus note several irregularities to the mission, including the discovery of leading questions in the ethnographic interview and Commander Taes taking the Eldflaugar leaders on an orbit of Haven in one of the Gheryzan's shuttles without a documented flight plan. Following a thorough audit of the study, the crew of the Nestus was able to complete their anthropological survey with the blessing of the Eldflaugar. All of the gathered data was delivered to a science team on Starbase Bravo for further study. Nestus experienced warp engine troubles due to her flight through the ion storm and required repairs on Starbase 72. By the time Nestus was repaired to flight ready status, Commander Taes had been assigned a starship command of he rown.
