USS Farragut (NCC-72013)
The USS Farragut (NCC-72013) is a Nebula-class exploratory cruiser assigned to Cyclone Exploratory Cruiser Squadron, operating along the Federation’s border region near The Triangle. Farragut is a flexible, multi-role platform supporting scientific research, diplomatic initiatives, and combat operations in high-threat environments.
Under the command of Captain James Thatcher, the Farragut blends technical versatility with a renewed sense of purpose. The ship is equipped for deep-space patrols, advanced sensor and reconnaissance operations, and is a stabilizing presence in contested or diplomatically sensitive regions.
With a capable crew and a mission portfolio ranging from peacekeeping to crisis response, the Farragut is key to extending Starfleet’s presence into unstable zones. It operates closely with Cyclone and other squadron assets, often acting as the Federation’s first responder where diplomacy and firepower must travel.
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.

The Security Operations Center sat on deck eight, where the ship’s mass pressed in close and the bulkheads felt more like armor. Ralston and Travers strode into the Security Operations Center, and the room acknowledged them without ceremony. At the central console was a man Ralston recognized [...]

Ralston and Travers walked into Cyclone’s medical complex. It wasn’t quiet. It never was. Biobeds hummed, instruments clicked, and medical personnel moved with the careful pace of those who knew that rushing only made things worse. This was a place that stayed busy because stopping [...]

Ralston let the door seal behind him and stepped back into senior officer country without breaking stride. Travers was waiting a few meters down the passage, leaning casually against a bulkhead. He pushed off when Ralston approached. “How did it go?” Travers asked. Ralston didn’t [...]
