USS Sirius is an Odyssey-class heavy explorer and the flagship of Sirius Squadron, under the command of Commodore Matt Rourke. With her size and self-sufficiency, Sirius is the main hub of all formation operations, able to support and supply other starships and their crews for an extended duration. When operating in the Midgard Sector, Sirius serves as a forward command post for missions across the region, or is directly responsible for humanitarian, scientific, or strategic duties requiring her vast resources. Whether at the heart of a deployment of the whole squadron or taking primary responsibility for a specific operation, the assigning of the USS Sirius to a mission demonstrates command takes a matter deeply seriously.

Sirius Expeditionary Squadron, also known as Sirius Squadron, is a squadron centered around the Odyssey-class USS Sirius under the command of Commodore Matt Rourke, based out of Gateway Station in the Midgard Sector on the Federation’s Beta Quadrant frontier. The squadron serves two missions: the secondary mission of supporting the sector-wide responsibilities of the Gateway Station, and its primary mission as a rapid deployment force beyond Federation borders.
In its expeditionary capacity, Sirius Squadron stands ready to deploy outside 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 is capable of operating 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.
Outside of such deployments, the squadron maintains readiness in case of need, and supports Gateway Station’s operations. From its HQ, its ships pursue Starfleet’s mission to maintain regional stability through diplomatic and humanitarian operations and pursue avenues of scientific research and exploration into the former territories of the Old Romulan Star Empire. Since the escalation of tensions with the Klingon Empire and their interest in the territory of the fallen Star Empire, Sirius Squadron has been a cornerstone of protecting both the Federation border, and Starfleet’s allies in the Romulan Republic.

While Commanders Kharth and Thawn take point on our operations aboard the Scarix Facility and its platforms, it falls to me to study HD 168746-Gamma in the hope we can learn more about the upcoming flare.

The ‘foreman’ at Scarix was, in truth, the General Manager. Ji Ye-Seul was a sullen, sharp-faced woman, who greeted the Starfleet away team like they were a professional inconvenience and not saviours come to meet them. ‘I don’t know why you needed a whole party,’ she grumbled the moment [...]

‘…and she just wants me getting the new personnel squared away,’ grumbled Ensign Nia Hargreaves as she grabbed a cup of coffee from the replicator in the deck one break room. A small mess hall, it was cramped and inauspicious and without windows, but sufficed for taking breaks during a shift. [...]

The broad overview of a briefing to the whole senior staff hadn’t taken long – solar flare due at Scarix. Shield the facility. Manage the personnel. Thawn had stayed silent when Valance explained matters, letting her focus on the wider picture, the broad strokes. The time for detail came [...]
