USS Arondight
Reliant-class • NCC-86407 • Fourth Fleet
The Federation starship Arondight, named for Sir Lancelot’s sword of Arthurian legend, is a well-equipped, modern frigate assigned to operations under the aegis of Arcturus Wayfinding Squadron in the Olympia Sector. Along with her counterpart, the USS Buran, the Arondight typically operates within a few hours warp of Olympia Station, patrolling the sector while performing mapping and exploration duties along the way. Fresh off her first major refit, the Arondight has a new command crew of young, eager officers ready to make a difference in a post-Frontier Day galaxy.

Arcturus Wayfinding Squadron
Arcturus Wayfinding Squadron is an elite exploratory unit that specializes in finding new ways forward for Starfleet. Distinct from navigation, which is plotting a course based on the precise knowledge of exactly where one is in the universe, wayfinding is a more general word that refers to the process of orienting oneself in regard to space, place, objects, and peoples. Wayfinding was practiced by the Polynesian and Norse voyagers of Earth in the ancient past, as they used landmarks, the stars, and their relationships with other beings to find their way across the seas. While Arcturus Squadron engages in traditional surveying and charting missions, its mandate is also to use whatever tools it can to find the way forward, whether through diplomacy, acquiring or developing new propulsion methods, or, when necessary, mitigating threats to Starfleet’s exploratory mission.
Currently, Arcturus Squadron is based out of Olympia Station at the rimward trailing edge of Federation space in the Alpha Quadrant.

Arondight was hanging in space nose-to-nose with the disabled drone freighter over the gold and bronze atmosphere of a gas giant. While his away team had only been over on the freighter for a few minutes, Captain Blake Bennett was already anxious for them to return. Even without the added [...]

Olympia Station, USS Arcturus and USS Arondight
Split between irritation and amusement at Blake’s uncharacteristically capitalist (for a Human) request to begin the negotiations, Tornellis sat up straight and clasped his hands together on the table. In his own youth, he’d gone from a slave of the Orion Syndicate to a mover of goods between [...]

Olympia Station, USS Arcturus and USS Arondight
On hearing that they were boarding an automated freighter, Wren felt his mood lifting a little: without people aboard, there wouldn’t be any casualties for him to treat. Still, it felt like tempting fate to return his medical kit to the equipment locker, so he sinched the cross-body strap a [...]
