The USS San Clemente (NCC-75581) is a California-class utility Starship, assigned to 4th Fleet Task Force 17, under the command of Jorik Traven. The backbone of Starfleet, they facilitate its mission to explore the darkness. Without them, Starfleet & the Federation's mission would be impossible.
“The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled” – Plutarch
In the distant reaches of the 25th Century, the USS San Clemente quietly carries out its mission in Task Force 17, part of Starfleet’s Fourth Fleet. A specialist unit dedicated to the exploitation of deep space.
Commanded by Jorik Traven, the USS San Clemente (Mente) is a California class utility cruiser, named, as with other ships of her class, after a city in California on Earth. While more advanced and sometimes more famous vessels chart bold new paths through the vastness of space, the Mente ensures these can happen. Operating within Task Force 17, she supports the Starfleet’s mission of exploration into the unknown with missions that, though less glamorous, are no less essential to the Federations continued presence out in the black. Operating from the far-flung staging post of Deep Space 17, a Canopus-class station on the Typhon frontier, the Mente is at the cutting edge of discovery.
Though, often overshadowed by shiny new classes of starship, the California Class represents the backbone of Starfleet in their mission to reach beyond the stars. They’re designed for routine, yet indispensable duties such as Scientific Surveying, Engineering Support and Medical Transport. The Mente is no different, as an Engineering specialist vessel, she’s cut out to assist, support and maintain Starfleet’s vessels and outposts throughout the void of space.
In a galaxy full of uncertainties, it’s ships like the USS San Clemente that keep the United Federation of Planets ideals alive out in the fringes of space.

IKS Y’tem, USS San Clemente and USS San Clemente
The bridge lights were low, the deep red feeling like it was penetrating every corner, the low hum of the engines was felt throughout the deck plating. L’rena and Tal’kor were both on Caelari Prime which meant command fell to the third officer, Drenak. He wore it the way all old warriors wore [...]

IKS Y’tem, USS San Clemente and USS San Clemente
The transmission came in at the end of the day in Varanesh, as the sun set on the spire it was seen across all communication bands. There was no music or bells, simply a woman with iron grey hair and workers tattoos stood in front of a plain wall. “This is Council Chair Reda Vesk of Orran,” she [...]

IKS Y’tem, USS San Clemente and USS San Clemente
Dreams rolled across the crews and the systems population like a wave. On board one of the pilgrim barges in orbit, a Tiryn farmer staggered awake with his hands clawing at his throat. In the darkness of his cabin he saw the spire, faceless shapes moved between the pillars. On Caelari prime, a [...]

IKS Y’tem, USS San Clemente and USS San Clemente
The sound of the bells echoed across Varanesh, their music travelling through every street. They sound seemed to lean toward the Spire at the centre of the city, as if they called you toward it. A federation shuttle swung downwards across the tops of the shimmering building, Ens Zoral at the helm. [...]
