USS Constantinople

Steamrunner-class • NCC-52002 • Redemption Operations and Outreach Division • Sirius Expeditionary Squadron • Fourth Fleet

The USS Constantinople (NCC-52002) is a Steamrunner-class light cruiser assigned to the Fourth Fleet and captained by Commander Thabo Xhakaza. As part of Sirius Squadron, she is based out of Gateway Station in the Midgard Sector, and acts as a patrol, support, and reconnaissance vessel for the region.

Many of the Constantinople’s crew have been rapidly elevated after the critical loss of personnel from Frontier Day, including Commander Xhakaza, and several of the senior staff are less than a year out of the Academy. This young crew thus stands committed to upholding the Federation’s principles on this difficult frontier while seeking to prove their worth and forge their own path.

Sirius Expeditionary Squadron

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, serving as a rapid deployment force.

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.
