USS Memphis
Sutherland-class • NCC-91817 • Liberty Science and Exploration Division • Sirius Expeditionary Squadron • Fourth Fleet • Managed by ADM Alexander Beckett
The USS Memphis is a Sutherland-class starship and the premier scientific research platform of Sirius Expeditionary Squadron. Memphis acts as the hub for the Science and Exploration Division’s missions, with ships more suitable to deep space exploration relaying data and findings back. From there, the Memphis proceeds to locations of interest to conduct in-depth research as the explorers move on, or retains the research data for more long-term analysis. While the rest of the division goes boldly where nobody has gone before, the Memphis proceeds thoughtfully in their wake, providing the highest levels of scientific expertise and equipment. Her crew are all seasoned scholars and researchers, though some have more experience in laboratories than the final frontier, and the ship is known for an atmosphere aboard more akin to that of a research facility than a starship: somewhat informal, and veering between highly collegiate as crewmembers collaborate on research projects, and highly competitive when the time comes to share the spoilers of scientific war.
Outside of such missions, the Memphis is an able platform to act as a hub for squadron-wide operations, providing operational support on deployments where the flagship Sirius is needed elsewhere.
Sirius Expeditionary Squadron
Sirius Expeditionary Squadron is a unit centered around the Odyssey-class USS Sirius under the command of Commodore Matt Rourke. 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.

Fine red dust kicked up in the wake of the Nomad, its reinforced treads chewing through the sands of Threshold as it bounded up and over rolling dunes that, when they had landed, had stretched as far as the eye could see. Though they could not see their goal itself, they could see the sign of it: [...]
