Cyclone Exploratory Cruiser Squadron
Commander, Cyclone Exploratory Cruiser Squadron (COMCYCLEXCRURON) is a flexible, mission-driven formation operating under the authority of Border Operations Command, Fourth Fleet, near the volatile region known as The Triangle. Under the command of Fleet Captain James C. MacLeod, the squadron executes high-risk exploratory, tactical, and diplomatic missions across contested and developing sectors where Federation influence remains tenuous.
Formed in the wake of the Raeyan Incident and tempered by the hard lessons of Operation Iron Veil, the squadron embodies Starfleet’s forward-deployed philosophy: agile, resilient, and self-reliant.
The squadron’s senior leadership exemplifies a blend of tactical precision, frontier determination, and the unspoken trust forged in battle. Whether charting unstable regions of subspace or facing down emergent hostile powers, the Cyclone Exploratory Cruiser Squadron stands prepared to do what others cannot — carry the Federation into the unknown and hold the line when no one else will.
