USS Tennessee
Steamrunner-class • NCC-71368 • Ulysses Exploratory Cruiser Squadron • Task Force 86 • Managed by FCAPT James MacLeod
The USS Tennessee is a Steamrunner-class heavy frigate operating under the administrative and operational control (ADCON/OPCON) of Commander, Ulysses Exploratory Cruiser Squadron. Returned to service in 2402 following a comprehensive systems refit, the Tennessee serves as the squadron’s primary tactical support platform, providing rapid response capability across Task Force 86’s area of operations. Under the command of Commander James Thatcher, the Tennessee embodies the durability of a starship forged in the Dominion War and reborn for the challenges of the 25th century.
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.
