==Objectives==
+
'''USS ''Atlantis'' (NCC-90562)''' is one of the newest [[Sovereign Class|''Sovereign''-class]] starships constructed for [[Starfleet]] and assigned to the [[Fourth Fleet]]'s [[Task Force 47]] under the command of [[bfms_char:26791|Captain Tikva Theodoras]]. A product of the [[Beta Antares Shipyard]], she features the latest in technological innovations and systems that have been incorporated into the modern design specifications for ships of her class. With Task Force 47's remit of exploration in the [[Thomar Expanse]], she is well suited to provide tactical support for elements of the task force when required in conjunction with her own exploration duties.
* '''Negotiate''' with local powers for access to regions unexplored by the [[Federation]];
 
* '''Explore''' beyond frontiers once politically-inaccessible to Starfleet;
 
* '''Maintain''' relationships with regional governments to secure necessary mission support;
 
* '''Build''' bridges with foreign powers by demonstrating the value of these on-going, mutually-beneficial agreements.
 
  
==Overview==
+
==Design and Layout==
The changing status quo of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants has seen some borders collapse, others arise, and the friends and foes of the Federation change in warmth or hostility. Beyond the danger of such disruption are the opportunities born of new relationships and vanishing barriers.
+
While a modern built starship, the latest starship to bear the name ''Atlantis'' maintains design elements and aesthetics of the trends popular during the ''Sovereign''-class's original design period. Her modern functionality exists just under a veneer of twenty-year-old design sensibilities, giving the ship a built-in classic feel.
  
These opportunities are the mission of Task Force 47. However close or far, they are charged to treat and negotiate with foreign governments to secure access to regions of space near or even within their borders. From there, Starfleet can explore areas never before available to them, whether they be on their doorstep and once locked away by politics, or on the far side of the quadrants and unavailable due to limited resources. Whether these locals offer merely begrudging acceptance of Starfleet’s proximity, open access to pass through their space, or outright support for Federation vessels, these are opportunities that cannot be missed.
+
''Atlantis'' was originally laid down in 2397 at the Beta Antares Shipyard with nothing more than a registry number to her when construction started on the vessel. By mid-2398 progress was ahead of schedule, however a handful of technological innovations, newer and smaller ship designs and resource limitations to meet other objectives delayed further construction work on hull number NCC-90562. While progress continued, it was of a much slower pace and limited to key infrastructure components of the ship that would not be changing.
  
This is a blend of exploration and diplomacy, for the latter is an ongoing responsibility to prove Starfleet is as good as their word, and demonstrate the value of such close scientific relationships. And the chance to go where no one could go before is beyond value.
+
The delays did mean that when work resumed newer computer systems, data transfer lines, and improved shield and weapons systems were eventually implemented into the starship, bringing her up to modern specifications that a handful of other ''Sovereigns'' only a few years old would be facing months in refit to receive, though operational pressures would mean these refits would be years down the road.
  
==Task Force Assets and Headquarters==
+
Originally planned to be christened the USS ''T'Rhan'', named after an ancient Vulcan philosopher on the concept of 'minimal applied force for maximal gain', who advocated that the concept of martial strength in the mind of your enemy could be just as effective as possessing that martial strength. In early 2400, weeks prior to the ship's official commissioning, the vessel's name was formally changed by order of Starfleet Command to ''Atlantis'' to replace the [[Argonaut Class|''Argonaut''-class]] [[USS_Atlantis_(NCC-81424)|''Atlantis'']] that had been decommissioned due to its status as a relic of import to the Federation Science Council.
The [[Thomar Expanse]] represents a fine example of the task force’s mission. On one side of this stretch of unclaimed space is the [[Cardassian Union]], begrudgingly accepting Starfleet’s proximity. On the other are the [[Breen Confederacy]] and the [[Tzenkethi Coalition]], near-hostile if Starfleet should stray too close. Exploration is a careful mission of balancing discovery with diplomacy.
 
  
Starfleet ships must pass through the [[ma:Badlands|Badlands]] to reach the task force’s headquarters, [[Deep Space 47]], the first stop on this new frontier. A smaller outpost, it provides essential supplies and support to ship operations within the Expanse, and allows Task Force 47 to conduct its missions in the region.
+
===Bridge===
 +
[[File:AtlantisBridge1.jpg|left|thumb|Bridge of the USS ''Atlantis'']]Her primary bridge has taken lessons learned from the original [[Sovereign Class]] starships and made valuable improvements to remedy early teething issues with workspace and workflow design. In a throwback to another prior generation, the arch behind the command seats replaces separate free-floating consoles to the rear and either side of the centre seats that had been first introduced on the early ships of the class. This removal of obstacles and centralisation of the primary Tactical station opened up the bridge, giving it an easier flow and roomier feel.
  
Task Force 47's flagship, [[USS_Nobel|USS ''Nobel'']] acts as the task force's mobile command centre when required, under the careful command of [[Captain Sothaal Th'thriannen]]. The vessel maintains most of her fitments from her time in the Delta Quadrant as her new mission is much like her old one, just slightly closer to home.
+
With further enhancements to key systems and movement of components elsewhere within the bridge module, space to the rear of the bridge has been made available to dedicate the volume to an expanded missions operations area. This multi-function space can be repurposed for any given task or situation, allowing for enhanced responsiveness and collaboration between on-duty department heads and command staff.
  
Other ships of Task Force 47 consists of the following
+
Normally this space remains configured for systems oversight and damage control, with the primary monitor defaulting to a Multifunction System Display, but as with all large monitors aboard the ship, can be quickly reconfigured for a variety of tasks. It would not be uncommon during long transits for this space to be repurposed for survey work or control of the ship while the bridge itself might be used for simulation training of junior officers. Flight operations, crisis management, scientific research and many other pursuits can and will find themselves here at some point.

The Keys are ''Atlantis''' first new totem.

It is commonly accepted that the keys should never leave the bridge proper, not even to the captain's ready room. Rumours and dire predictions have circulated around the ship about what would happen in such a situation, from the breakdown of the ship to a sudden warp core detonation. Luckily for the more rational members of the crew, nothing bad has come of the multiple situations wherein senior officers have discovered they'd left the bridge without handing over the keys.

==Task Force History==
+
===The Captain's Mess===
The late-24th century was a time of significant political upheaval. Friendship with the [[Klingon Empire]] collapsed and was rebuilt; the Dominion War made allies of the [[Old Romulan Star Empire|Romulan Star Empire]] only for the [[ma:Romulan sun|Romulan Supernova]] to shatter the once-great power. Post-war negotiations with the Cardassian Union have warmed and cooled and warmed again over the decades. The old order, and the once-indelible borders of historic politics, have been strained if not swept away.
+
[[File:Captainsmess.png|thumb|right|The Captain's Mess]]Compartment Deck Five Forward was by original design set aside as the captain's mess aboard ''Atlantis''. Within quick succession, the compartment and two smaller adjacent ones were redesigned to give the senior officers of the ship a relaxed social space that wasn't the ship's main lounge. Never a terribly populated locale, as interaction with the crew as a whole is encouraged, it does serve as a nice retreat whenever needed.
  
Beyond the disruption to the status quo, some in Starfleet view this as a grand opportunity. The collapse of the [[Romulan Neutral Zone]] and new friends in the [[Romulan Republic]] has granted access to regions never before visited by the Federation. New relationships with powers like the Cardassians and the Gorn have given similar chances. Chances for friendship and diplomacy, for certain, but also chances for new missions of exploration.
+
While typically the purview of the command staff, department heads and their assistants, from time to time junior officers and crew members are invited to The Captain's Mess as an informal recognition, extended by either the captain or their department head. This would coincide with the presence of whoever extended the invitation, so turning down a chance to sit with the captain or a senior officer for drinks in a lounge with restricted access is not an invitation lightly turned down.
  
It became apparent to the [[Fourth Fleet]] that these were specific missions requiring ships ready to conduct diplomacy with potentially old enemies even as they blazed new paths of discovery. At the dawn of the twenty-fifth century with its new opportunities, new politics, new alliances, Task Force 47 was forged as these pathfinders, seeking and building these roads before walking them.
+
===Port Royal===
 +
Port Royal is ''Atlantis''' primary social space. Located on Deck Four, almost directly above the Captain's Mess the space is the closest to a 'no ranks' space aboard ship, though that particular rule does not exist. Instead Port Royal operates under the assumption that if a senior officer is present, then they are free to be engaged with by any member of the crew.
 +
 
 +
The name Port Royal was also left to the decision of the crew by Captain Theodoras, who while not a fan of the name, has surrendered to the whims of democracy in his particular issue. A distinctly piratical or Caribbean decor was vetoed, but a couple of signs, often just outside the doors admitting entry, have gained a distinctly kitschy Caribbean style to them. These boards are usually used by the Port Royal staff to advertise upcoming social events, announce experimental drinks and inflict the seemingly neverending supply of bad puns on passersby.
 +
 
 +
It is also a firm rule of Port Royal that the only person aboard ship who is allowed to declare themselves 'the best pilot' must in fact be the best pilot, as measured against the metric of the ''Atlantis'' Topgun Competition, held every three months. Violators of this rule are refused all service by the wait staff until such time as they have made amends - a double shot of Malort.
 +
 
 +
==Operational History==
 +
Commissioned into service on March 3rd, 2400, USS ''Atlantis'' slipped her moorings to begin her shakedown cruise. Systems integration, weapons test and engine performance evaluations were expected plans for the ship's first few months in space to ensure that the vessel was performing as designed, constructed and expected. These operational goals were quickly superseded by developments within the Romulan Star Empire and ''Atlantis'' found herself deployed to assist in the matter despite her new and untested condition.

Inclusion in the Hazard team is not limited to Security personnel but is open to all aboard the ship who wish to apply and can meet the Chief of Security's rigorous combat proficiency requirements. In addition to existing duty requirements, training primarily revolves around extensive holodeck training and rotating training teams to allow for optimal flexibility based on crew availability at any given time.

USS Atlantis (NCC-90562) is one of the newest Sovereign-class starships constructed for Starfleet and assigned to the Fourth Fleet's Task Force 47 under the command of Captain Tikva Theodoras. A product of the Beta Antares Shipyard, she features the latest in technological innovations and systems that have been incorporated into the modern design specifications for ships of her class. With Task Force 47's remit of exploration in the Thomar Expanse, she is well suited to provide tactical support for elements of the task force when required in conjunction with her own exploration duties.

The Keys are Atlantis' first new totem. Replicated as a joke by Commander MacIntyre prior to the ship's commissioning, they are a simple set of three keys, purpose yet to be clarified, accompanied by a Starfleet delta.

Luckily for the more rational members of the crew, nothing bad has come of the multiple situations wherein senior officers have discovered they'd left the bridge without handing over the keys.

The Captain's Mess

The Captain's Mess

Compartment Deck Five Forward was by original design set aside as the captain's mess aboard Atlantis. Within quick succession, the compartment and two smaller adjacent ones were redesigned to give the senior officers of the ship a relaxed social space that wasn't the ship's main lounge. Never a terribly populated locale, as interaction with the crew as a whole is encouraged, it does serve as a nice retreat whenever needed.

While typically the purview of the command staff, department heads and their assistants, from time to time junior officers and crew members are invited to The Captain's Mess as an informal recognition, extended by either the captain or their department head.
