USS Polaris (NCC-80001)
While research and development activities typically occur on starbases and outposts within Federation territory, sometimes the greatest discoveries are made amongst the stars. This is the mission of the Polaris Squadron.
While research and development activities typically occur on starbases and outposts within Federation territory, sometimes the greatest discoveries are made amongst the stars. This is the mission of the Polaris Squadron.
The USS Polaris is an Odyssey-class heavy explorer that serves as the flagship of Polaris Squadron and home of the Advanced Science, Technology and Research Activity. The Polaris is equipped with cutting edge laboratories, sensor suites, and analysis cores that give it near-parity with top-of-the-line R&D facilities, while having a degree of mobility such facilities do not have. It is also well appointed for frontier diplomatic duties, but it has some tactical drawbacks due to its size and purpose that are augmented by Polaris Squadron’s other vessels.
The stories of Polaris Squadron are rated 2-2-2 for mature subject matter, including violence, language and sexual content.
Polaris Squadron is a mission unit under the command of Fleet Admiral Allison Reyes, Director of the Advanced Science, Technology and Research Activity, and Rear Admiral Alex Grayson, Commander of Archanis Sector Operations, that operates under the dual mandate:
The flagship of Polaris Squadron is the USS Polaris, an Odyssey-class heavy explorer that hosts the Advanced Science, Technology and Research Activity, and the headquarters of Polaris Squadron is Archanis Station, a Canopus-class starbase from whence sector operations of the Archanis Sector are managed.

USS Polaris: Entropic Foliations of the Galactic Fabric“Why would the Federation be interested in helping us?” “Because we share a mutual interest, my friend,” Captain Lewis explained, his face betraying nothing. “We too recognize the threat posed by the Underspace.” “Who said anything about a threat?” “Don’t play me for a fool,” [...]

USS Polaris: Entropic Foliations of the Galactic Fabric“The Underspace, it is to be used for war.” The words fell heavy over the bridge of the Polaris, and the Admiral’s mind went straight to the obvious target. Had they just given the keys to the Klingons for an invasion of Romulan space? If it snowballed, Starfleet would not be able to [...]

USS Polaris: Entropic Foliations of the Galactic Fabric“Where are we?” Captain Lewis asked as he stared at the backside of the two Keldon cruisers they’d followed through the aperture. In the distance, backlit by a bright nebula, he could see the silhouette of a large platform. “We’re rimward of Dreon, on the edge of the Rolor Nebula,” [...]
