USS Tempest
Rhode Island-class • NCC-84705 • Redemption Operations and Outreach Division • Sirius Expeditionary Squadron • Fourth Fleet • Managed by ADM Alexander Beckett
The USS Tempest NCC-84705 is a Rhode Island-class scout assigned to Sirius Squadron. Fast and versatile, the Tempest works alongside other squadron ships and missions, fulfilling scouting and reconnaissance duties for both tactical and scientific operations. She is often assigned directly in support of the USS Sirius, acting as escort, courier, or patrol ship as necessary. These duties do not necessarily entail constantly accompanying other vessels, as she is highly adept at long-range scouting, and may act in conjunction with another ship from several days’ travel away. This necessitates a flexible and pragmatic approach by her crew, who are dispatched to support all manner of operations in all manner of places.
When not supporting other craft, the Tempest is usually found on survey operations, often identifying points of scientific interest that the USS Ranger may later follow up in more depth, or participating in general patrol and pirate-hunting activities in the Midgard Sector.
Sirius Expeditionary Squadron
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.

She found him as they had always found one another these past few weeks: alone in the dark, with only strategy plans and intelligence reports for company in the deep nest of the Rookery. ‘Come to also tell me why I’m wrong?’ Rosewood didn’t need to turn around to know it was her. He stood [...]

The corridors of the Vaadwaur cruiser were twisted metal and scorched plating, the shattered hull a metal grave spread across the blazing sands.

Fine red dust kicked up in the wake of the Nomad, its reinforced treads chewing through the sands of Threshold as it bounded up and over rolling dunes that, when they had landed, had stretched as far as the eye could see. Though they could not see their goal itself, they could see the sign of it: [...]
