Recently relaunched from Avalon Fleet Yards following a minor refit, which coincided with the opening of a new frontier of exploration, the Cardenas now finds itself embroiled among the machinations of people, both friend and foe, who seek to destabilise the Shackleton Expanse...
Commissioned in 2392 with a name that harkens back to a bygone era, the USS Cardenas is a recognisable and essential part of the new Starfleet era. Named after one of the toughest ships of the golden age of exploration, Cardenas‘ role as a frigate sees her performing patrol duties across the Federation and on borders shared with friends and enemies alike. When not on patrol, Cardenas and her blend of veterans and inexperienced personnel can be found conducting scientific surveys, ferrying dignitaries to diplomatic engagements and transporting precious cargo.

Like a scene from an epic movie of the twentieth century, the Starfleet vessels Al-Batani and Cardenas hung motionless in the great void of space: watching; waiting.

Captain’s log, supplemental. Hypatia remains on station in high orbit of the fifth planet. Our transceiver arrays continue to work at full capacity as we endeavour to make contact with the species we now believe to be called ‘the Nihari’. Following the revelation from Doctor Zinn that our [...]
