The USS Redemption (NCC-78240) is a Sovereign-class exploratory cruiser assigned to the Fourth Fleet under the command of Fleet Captain Addison Faust and a part of Sirius Squadron. After extensive refits to modernise her systems, the Redemption is a powerful and well-armed ship, and is responsible for the unit’s tactical and strategic operations. This entails not only the immediate of the Federation border, with the Redemption overseeing patrol and pirate-hunting duties to ensure the safety of Federation citizens and interests in the region. The ship has also been directed to support the Romulan Republic, lately threatened by the increased aggression of the Klingon Empire, and conducts joint operations to shore up the defences of the Federation’s allies. When not responding to emerging threats or on deployment with the squadron, Redemption remains close to the Midgard border to uphold Starfleet’s commitments and interests in Federation and Republic space.

Sirius Expeditionary Squadron is a unit centered around the Odyssey-class USS Sirius under the command of Commodore Matt Rourke. Sirius Squadron stands ready to deploy outside or on the fringes of Federation territory at short notice to respond to emerging situations across the galaxy. With multiple versatile and powerful ships at its disposal, the squadron can operate independently and without support for extended periods, and is flexible enough to face a range of missions, including under volatile circumstances where objectives and conditions can quickly change. While this profile often leads Sirius Squadron to respond to geopolitical crises, the unit’s versatility make it equally suited emergent scientific investigations.
The main unit, organised around the Sirius herself, is an element of several powerful ships each able to take the lead or act independently depending on the mission’s needs. Deployed together, they are a supremely well-rounded and capable unit. Two additional divisions provide specialist support. The first, headed by the USS Redemption, acts as an operations element to provide engineering, humanitarian, or diplomatic services. The second, headed by the USS Liberty, fulfils dedicated exploratory or scientific missions. The divisions may deploy independently or in support of one another, depending on operational needs.

Proxima V was fire ringed with metal. The planet itself was hydrogen turned fluid through some of the fiercest pressure in the universe, gaseous hydrogen and helium floating atop for clouds of orange-yellow flecked with fierce gold that gleamed like flame. The ring, however, was metal and man-made, [...]

Across boundless stars they’d sprung, sprinting the length of the Federation in what felt like the blink of an eye. As if from nowhere, the ten starships of Sirius Squadron dropped to impulse speed, sliding into the space between the stars of Alpha Centauri. Into the eye of the storm. Matt Rourke [...]

The square unfolded before them like a stage set for nightmare. Pale dawn light dragged itself between Innes’s grand civic buildings, casting long shadows across the flagstones where hundreds of civilians had gathered – silent, tight-packed, cowed. The crowd’s stillness was not peace but [...]

The Rooks beamed into Innes just before dawn. For a moment, they could stand in the blue-grey light of a world holding its breath. The city stretched out before them like it was painted from both nightmare and dream, beautiful and broken. Innes had always stood apart from the massive cities of the [...]
