Bravo Fleet
USS Oakland (NCC-75012)
These are the voyages of the starship Oakland. Her ongoing mission; to support Starfleet's Task Force 47 however needed, stay out of the line of fire, and quietly go where everyone has gone before. Or is it?
USS Oakland
California-class • NCC-75012 • Task Force 47
A veteran ship with a veteran captain, USS Oakland (NCC-75012) has led a mostly peaceful existence under Captain Oskar Maising, a man in the twilight of his career more than content with such a quiet posting. But once he’s paired with the young, hotheaded Commander Charlotte MacColgan as first officer, life on Oakland has turned a bit more chaotic. The galaxy is more wondrous and more dangerous every day, and even little backline starships like this old utility cruiser are being roped into the mix. Will Oakland remain the quiet, boring posting Maising desires and MacColgan despises, or will the rapidly developing galaxy catch up to them both and turn everything upside down?

USS Oakland
Charlotte MacColgan could say, without a shadow of a doubt, that USS Oakland was one of the ugliest starships she’d ever seen. More than a ship, it resembled a frisbee with stilts stuck to the bottom, and long giant clown shoes for nacelles, taped together by the engineering hull suspended [...]
