'''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.
'''USS ''Pioneer'' (NCC-74657)''' is an [[Intrepid Class|''Intrepid''-class]] light explorer of [[Fourth Fleet|Fourth Fleet's]] [[Task Force 47]]. One of the first ''Intrepid''-class ships built, ''the Pioneer'' served with distinction during the Dominion War, triumphing in several engagements during the course of the war. Following the Dominion surrender in 2375, the ''Pioneer'' was reassigned to do what it was designed to do: exploration. After being saved from mothballs in 2399 and undergoing a year long retrofit, the ''Pioneer'', now under the command of [[bfms_char:74021|Captain Kosev Thiren]], resumes its mission to seek out new life and new civilizations, and to boldly go where no one has gone before.

==Design and Layout==
==Design and Layout==
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.
''Main Article'': [[Intrepid Class|''Intrepid''-class light explorer]]


''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.
During the ''Pioneer''<nowiki/>'s year long retrofit to update its systems to 25th century standards and technology, it was made very clear by Captain Thiren to the work crews at Avalon Fleet Yards that the overall design and feel of the starship remain very much unchanged from the original Intrepid design language. When walking through the ''Pioneer'', you find yourself on a familiar design, albeit with updated internals and technology to bring the starship into the 25th century. Interfaces and consoles have been updated and in most cases upgraded to the newest LCARS standards, but the overall design of the vessel was left intact per the Captain's instructions.


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.
==Auxiliary Craft==
The ''Pioneer'' has one shuttlebay capable of housing several [[Type-11 Personnel Shuttle|Type-11]] shuttles and even one [[Runabouts|Delta-class]] runabout. The ''Pioneer'' also houses an [[Aeroshuttle]] docked on the underside of the primary hull. This specialized shuttle is designed for conducting scientific surveys and other away missions.


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.
==History==
The ''Intrepid''-class USS ''Pioneer'', coming back from another tour of exploration in deep space, was set to transfer to the reserves or [https://memory-gamma.fandom.com/wiki/Mothball?so=search 'Mothballs'] due to the lack of consistent upgrades and interest in the now aging platform. When the ''Pioneer'' arrived at [[Avalon Fleet Yards]], it caught the eye of Captain Kosev Thiren who, at the time, was currently without a starship and awaiting reassignment. Reading up on the ship's history and discovering that the vessel served with distinction during the Dominion War, winning every engagement it participated in, Kosev petitioned then head of Task Force 47, Fleet Captain Alexandra T'Rin Sudari-Kravchik, to have the USS ''Pioneer'' assigned as his new command. With his request being granted, the vessel spent the next year at Avalon Fleet Yards receiving a major retrofit before being placed back into active service in February of 2401.


===Bridge===
When the ''Pioneer'' arrived at [[Farpoint Station]] to pick up the rest of their crew, Captain Thiren received a priority communication from Fourth Fleet Command about [[The Lost Fleet]] invading the [[Deneb Sector|Deneb]] sector. Holding a briefing with his senior staff, Thiren revealed a new [[Lost Fleet Priority Tasks|priority mission]] that the ''Pioneer'' had been assigned: infiltrate behind enemy lines and destroy a secret Ketracel-white facility. With the Federation News Network refusing to call attention to the invasion, citing that the attacks were nothing more than a [[Breen Confederacy|Breen]] border skirmish, the Fourth Fleet stood alone against the [[Dominion]], and they needed every edge they could get to turn the tide. So, the ''Pioneer'' was dispatched to destroy the facility.  
[[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.


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.
Utilizing technology and intelligence gathered by another [https://memory-gamma.fandom.com/wiki/USS_Voyager famous ''Intrepid''-class starship], the ''Pioneer'' was able to avoid detection during the entire trip to Saxue. Once there, they entered the nebula, located the facility, and launched a daring plan to destroy the lab to give the Fourth Fleet the edge they needed to win this fight. With the facility destroyed, the ''Pioneer'' retreated at maximum warp to Farpoint Station, where they arrived just in time to take part in the final offensive launched by Dominion forces. Together with the Fourth Fleet, the crew of the ''Pioneer'' were successful in repelling the attack and protecting the Deneb sector.  


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.
With the battle over, the ''Pioneer'' set course for Avalon Fleet Yards for crew rotation and repairs in preparation for the Frontier Day festivities.

====The Keys====
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. They've been adopted by the crew as the unofficial symbol of the watch, changing hands each shift or whenever control of the conn changes.
 
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.
 
===The Captain's Mess===
[[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.
 
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.
 
===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.

Harpy 2, ''Corfu'', has been modified from a standard A variant to an attack/recon (A/R) model. While the attack variant carried multiple micro-torpedoes aboard in small magazines, the A/R only carried 2, one per launcher. The magazine space is then given over to housing more specialised and sophisticated sensors and ECM hardware. These sensors are incredibly sensitive and capable in a very narrow observational window forward of the craft, allowing for superior long-range reconnaissance of known targets, but are incredibly poor at generalised scouting.
 
Equally the ECM hardware, while incredibly capable, has a limited field of effect and was ideally designed to cover the craft it is fitted on only. Skilled or reckless pilots are able to make use of the field to hide a few other fighters in close proximity, but exposure would put an entire flight at risk and is highly discouraged.
 
==Hazard Team==
[[File:AtlantisHazard.png|thumb|350px|right|Fighting Myrmidons]]The Hazard team aboard ''Atlantis'' is a 15 entity operation split into three operational teams. Gold and Silver Teams are the primary fighting force for the Fighting Myrmidons, with Bronze Team acting as a combat support role. As such Gold and Silver are primarily security officers with an attached medic while Bronze is a composite Engineering, Science and Medical team with an attached security officer.
 
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. The stated goal is to attempt to develop the Myrmidons to be able to fight without needing to communicate between each other as much as possible.

USS Pioneer (NCC-74657) is an Intrepid-class light explorer of Fourth Fleet's Task Force 47. One of the first Intrepid-class ships built, the Pioneer served with distinction during the Dominion War, triumphing in several engagements during the course of the war. Following the Dominion surrender in 2375, the Pioneer was reassigned to do what it was designed to do: exploration. After being saved from mothballs in 2399 and undergoing a year long retrofit, the Pioneer, now under the command of Captain Kosev Thiren, resumes its mission to seek out new life and new civilizations, and to boldly go where no one has gone before.

History

The Intrepid-class USS Pioneer, coming back from another tour of exploration in deep space, was set to transfer to the reserves or 'Mothballs' due to the lack of consistent upgrades and interest in the now aging platform. When the Pioneer arrived at Avalon Fleet Yards, it caught the eye of Captain Kosev Thiren who, at the time, was currently without a starship and awaiting reassignment. Reading up on the ship's history and discovering that the vessel served with distinction during the Dominion War, winning every engagement it participated in, Kosev petitioned then head of Task Force 47, Fleet Captain Alexandra T'Rin Sudari-Kravchik, to have the USS Pioneer assigned as his new command. With his request being granted, the vessel spent the next year at Avalon Fleet Yards receiving a major retrofit before being placed back into active service in February of 2401.
