The IKS Kortar is named for the first Klingon, he who slew the gods, the Ferryman of the Barge of the Dead. A bird-of-prey in service to the House of A’trok, an ally of the House of Koloth, she is among those ships serving alongside Starfleet within the ranks of the Fourth Fleet. Her captain, Korvath, son of K’marn, grandson of Lord A’trok, has only recently returned from service in the outer reaches of the Empire, and now seeks not only to uphold the Khitomer Accords with strength and loyalty – but to restore fire and honour to his house, steeped in apathy and political compromise for too many decades.
Built in the shipyards of K’Vakha Prime, this ageing bird-of-prey – with her firebrand captain and crew drawn from the ranks of dissident, misfit, or outcast warriors – strikes out to stand stalwart by friends, and forge a new path for family.

Sirius Expeditionary Squadron is a unit centered around the Odyssey-class USS Sirius under the command of Commodore Matt Rourke and oversight of Director of Squadron Operations Vice Admiral Owen Morgan. Sirius Squadron stands ready to deploy outside or at 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 squadron is based out of Gateway Station, in the Midgard Sector, which provides logistical support and operational and administrative leadership.
The HQ unit is organised around the Sirius herself, supported by her attached ship Alhabor. Four additional divisions provide specialist support:
The divisions may deploy independently or in support of one another, depending on operational needs.
