On the border of Kzinti space, Deep Space 11 serves as a border patrol hub for vessels observing the enigmatic Patriarchy, whilst offering a diplomatic olive branch whenever an opportunity arises. With dangerous locals such as the Ryton system and the Typhon Expanse on their doorstep, the station also serves as a staging point for exploratory operations beyond the northernmost border of Federation space. Most recently, the station has become the headquarters for the Fourth Fleet’s Lakota Squadron, under the command of Fleet Captain Keziah Nazir, whilst becoming an additional asset at the disposal of Task Force 17.

The stories of Lakota Squadron are rated 2-2-2 for mature subject matter, including some moderate violence, language and sexual content.

Lakota Heavy Cruiser Squadron

Lakota Heavy Cruiser Squadron, or, informally, Lakota Squadron, is a squadron of the Fourth Fleet’s Task Force 17, centered on the adventures of several starships and their crew as they carry out a wide variety of critical missions across Federation space and beyond. Formed in the aftermath of Frontier Day 2401, Lakota Squadron is composed of three starships capable of carrying out the various roles and responsibilities dictated by the mandate of the United Federation of Planets. The composition of vessels assigned to the squadron is such that virtually any objective can be completed, whether within the confines of Federation space, or far from safety in far-flung areas of the known galaxy.
