USS Valor
Centaur II-class • NCC-94559 • Ulysses Exploratory Cruiser Squadron • Task Force 86 • Managed by FCAPT James MacLeod
The USS Valor (NCC-94559) is a Centaur-II-class science vessel under the command of Commander James Thatcher. It operates under the administrative and operational control (ADCON/OPCON) of Commander, Ulysses Exploratory Cruiser Squadron (COMULYEXCRURON). A compact but resilient starship, Valor extends the squadron’s reach by handling missions unsuited to larger exploratory cruisers such as rapid-response patrols, convoy escort, or reconnaissance sweeps.
Within the squadron, Valor is recognized not for size or firepower, but for the speed and adaptability that define its service as an asymmetrical force multiplier on the frontier.
Ulysses Exploratory Cruiser Squadron
The Ulysses Exploratory Cruiser Squadron (COMULYEXCRURON) is a flexible, mission-driven formation operating under the authority of Border Operations Command Fourth Fleet near The Triangle. 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.
