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 • Managed by CAPT Khim Samnang
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

Part One. “Oh, you could talk to Brennan!” Saffy exclaimed, a little too loudly. Several faces turned towards her, which had the woman opt for evasive maneuvers. “If she were here. I mean…” Sanjiv furrowed his brow and peered into his mojito, as if staring long enough [...]

There wasn’t room to sit at the bar, so Sanjiv had to content himself with idling behind the other patrons while he waited on his fourth mojito of the night. Normally, he’d strike up a conversation to pass the brief time it took to mix the drink, but tonight he was… jet-lagged. Exhausted. [...]

“…all passengers continuing on to Denobula Triaxa, Mellstoxx, and Kyban, please remain on the craft.” Szarka caught about half the cards that went flying off the table as Ixabi awakened with a jolt. She had been operating under a glossy veneer of moral self-assuredness for the entire [...]

The sun on Casperia Prime rose early, casting warm golden light through the windows of Traven’s room, the shadows over the mountains would soon disappear. He’d been awake for a few hours now, sleep didn’t come easy, the memories of those left behind were hard to erase and even he struggled [...]
