Recently relaunched from Avalon Fleet Yards following a minor refit, which coincided with the opening of a new frontier of exploration, the Cardenas now finds itself embroiled among the machinations of people, both friend and foe, who seek to destabilise the Shackleton Expanse...
Commissioned in 2392 with a name that harkens back to a bygone era, the USS Cardenas is a recognisable and essential part of the new Starfleet era. Named after one of the toughest ships of the golden age of exploration, Cardenas‘ role as a frigate sees her performing patrol duties across the Federation and on borders shared with friends and enemies alike. When not on patrol, Cardenas and her blend of veterans and inexperienced personnel can be found conducting scientific surveys, ferrying dignitaries to diplomatic engagements and transporting precious cargo.

IKS Mok’tal, USS Al-Batani, USS Cardenas, USS Hypatia and USS Wasp
There was something in Song that was glad they were meeting in person- something in her that found Wasp‘s bridge too quiet, like a foxhole after the artillery has ceased fire. That horrible, anxious silence, waiting for another shoe to drop, waiting for another misfortune to fall. The [...]

IKS Mok’tal, USS Al-Batani, USS Cardenas, USS Hypatia and USS Wasp
Following their Captain, a woman used to hot, humid conditions from her time on Bajor, Hypatia’s away team struggled through the sand dunes of Nihor Prime, the corse material weighing heavy on their Starfleet issued boots; almost as heavy as the concern they felt in the presence of the strange [...]
