USS Hipparchus maps the boundless frontiers, drafting star charts for future generations of Starfleet explorers. The crew looks to the wisdom of their astronomer namesake, for the map-makers are the most lost.
Audacity Heavy Explorer Squadron seeks to expand the boundaries of knowledge while strengthening the bonds of friendship, alliance, and loyalty. Audacity Squadron engages in this mission beyond Federation borders as well as within the decks and bulkheads of its own vessels. Charged with Starfleet’s earliest mission of exploration into the unknown, its crews specialise in solving scientific mysteries and parleying through diplomatic relationships. While the squadron’s flagship is the USS Audacity, the unit’s activity is centred around Constellation Division, which has incorporated a Romulan Republic science ship among its division to strengthen their alliance under a joint banner.
While Squadron Commander Taes began her mission of scientific cooperation with the Romulan Free State in September 2400 aboard the USS Sarek, the USS Constellation was launched in March 2401 at the height of the Dominion Incursion into the Deneb Sector. Subsequently, Constellation Squadron was formed in January 2401 to engage in its inaugural mission of discovery and diplomacy in the Delta Quadrant. In late 2402, all Romulan Free State scientists withdrew from Constellation. By 2403, Audacity Squadron was formed around Constellation Division when the Romulan Republic RRW Zdenia was seconded to the squadron.
