USS Breedlove NCC-95166 is a Edison-class Federation starship currently assigned to Fourth Fleet's Task Force 17. Under the command of Commander Rin Ch'kythal and Lieutenant Commander T'sare, the Breedlove is a newer commissioned vessel and has not had the time to make her mark in Starfleet formally.

The Breedlove's primary duty for Task Force 17 is to conduct patrol and escort duties. While in her day-to-day she supports starbases and outposts along perimeter border areas, she can be assigned to provide tactical support for exploration missions expecting medium levels of risk. On such operations, the Breedlove may conduct initial reconnaissance or provide escort to explorers approaching volatile areas on missions of scientific inquiry. Her sensor array and laboratory facilities hold her in good stead to conduct secondary scientific and survey operations outside of these tactical responsibilities.

Crew of the Breedlove

• Commander Rin Ch'kythal: An Andorian male in his late thirties who has assumed his first command on Breedlove. He held a successful career as an operations officer on several vessels and, most recently was the executive officer on a Steamrunner class vessel. Ch'kythal has a mild temperament and is more cerebral than your typical Andorian. He is personable and warm in his interactions. This has served him well in building good rapport with those he works with. He is good at inspiring confidence in those he oversees.
• Lieutenant Commander T'sare: A Vulcan female in their mid-thirties who most recently served as chief science officer and second officer on a Nova-class vessel. T'sare accepted her first executive officer position on Breedlove with a bit of hesitation as she did not want to lose her opportunity to Science in the name of advancing her command career. She understood that Breedlove may still be in a position to provide scientific support at times, so decided to move forward with the position. T'sare is hard-working, dependable, and expects the best from those around her.

In Play

• The Breedlove is a Task Unit Asset, and any member of Task Force 17 can feature it in their stories.
• The Breedlove is an excellent option to assist your vessel in border patrol operations, especially if you are in a smaller class vessel and it makes sense that it would not be conducting these operations alone.
• With strong tactical and scientific capabilities for a ship of her size, the Breedlove is a good choice to run escort or recon duties on exploration missions where some danger might be anticipated. She can join your ship venturing deeper into space, protecting against threats or keeping an eye out for enemies, while also assisting in scientific study.
• The Breedlove might be a vessel nearby that would respond to a call for help along border areas in between starbases and outposts.
• Although not its primary function, the Breedlove can act as a vessel to assist or assume scientific responsibilities.
• The Breedlove can be used like any other task unit asset, showing up to resupply or deliver officers, or mentioned off-screen by dealing with distant problems or discovering the initial plot hook that your ship is sent to deal with.
