Ulysses Exploratory Cruiser Squadron

The Ulysses Exploratory Cruiser Squadron (COMULYEXCRURON) is a flexible, mission-driven formation operating under the authority of Frontier Operations Command Fourth Fleet along the Kzinti frontier. Under the command of Fleet Captain James C. MacLeod, the squadron conducts high-risk exploratory, tactical, and diplomatic operations across contested and developing sectors where Federation presence is limited.

Established during the Raeyan Incident and refined by lessons from Operation Iron Veil, the division represents Starfleet’s forward-deployed philosophy: agile, resilient, and self-reliant. 

The squadron’s senior leadership blends tactical brilliance, frontier grit, and hard-earned trust — a structure forged through loss and tested under fire. Whether charting subspace anomalies or confronting emergent threats, the Ulysses Exploratory Cruiser Squadron stands ready to do what others won’t: carry the Federation into the unknown and hold the line when no one else will.
