Bravo Fleet
USS Babylon (NCC-82254)
These are the voyages of the USS Babylon. Its ongoing mission: to explore ruined worlds; to seek out remnants of life and lost civilizations; to trepidatiously go where the dead have walked before.
USS Babylon
Grissom-class • NCC-82254 • Task Force 17
USS Babylon is a Grissom-class surveyor assigned to Task Force 17 under the command of Captain Sanjiv Anand. Ostensibly intended for deep space mapping assignments, the Babylon’s primary mission is to follow up on reports of extinct civilizations on the edge of Federation space and determine if further study of these locations would be safe and ethical.
The blue dusk ran between the streets; my love was winged within my mind;
It left to-day and yesterday and thrice a thousand years behind.
To-day was past and dead for me for from to-day my feet had run
Through thrice a thousand years to walk the ways of ancient Babylon.
On temple top and palace roof the burnished gold flung back the rays
Of a red sunset that was dead and lost beyond a million days.
…
Oh, light our life in Babylon, but Babylon has taken wings,
While we are in the calm and proud procession of eternal things.
– ‘Babylon’ by George William Russell

Qsshrr skittered down the corridor towards the turbolift, grateful that Anand seemed lost in thought and disinclined to chatter. She needed a moment of reprieve from the high-pitched waves of human voices on the air, even if just for a moment. The tension on the ship was obvious even to her, and as [...]

Szarka tried to quash the smile on her face as she read the message over again. Now was not the time for schadenfreude–particularly not when poor Ixabi looked queasy, as if the content of the message was somehow her fault–but if she didn’t respond to the situation with dark humor, then [...]

The muscles in Bohkat’s back burned with the effort of sitting upright for so long, but he had never slouched in public before and he was damned well not going to start now. Never let them see you relax. In the grand scheme of things it was only a mild discomfort, one he could forget about as [...]

“Szarka!” Szarka cringed at the sound of Bohkat’s voice, wondering what she’d done to set him off this time, but as she approached the outline of his form on the far side of the chamber, he kept his gaze firmly on the wall. Something about his posture was off. Was he… nervous? A nervous [...]
