Bravo Fleet
USS Babylon (NCC-82254)
These are the voyages of the USS Babylon. Its ongoing mission: to explore ruined worlds; to seek out remnants of life and lost civilizations; to trepidatiously go where the dead have walked before.
USS Babylon
Grissom-class • NCC-82254 • Task Force 17 • Managed by CAPT Sanjiv Anand
USS Babylon is a Grissom-class surveyor assigned to Task Force 17 under the command of Captain Sanjiv Anand. Ostensibly intended for deep space mapping assignments, the Babylon’s primary mission is to follow up on reports of extinct civilizations on the edge of Federation space and determine if further study of these locations would be safe and ethical.
The blue dusk ran between the streets; my love was winged within my mind;
It left to-day and yesterday and thrice a thousand years behind.
To-day was past and dead for me for from to-day my feet had run
Through thrice a thousand years to walk the ways of ancient Babylon.
On temple top and palace roof the burnished gold flung back the rays
Of a red sunset that was dead and lost beyond a million days.
…
Oh, light our life in Babylon, but Babylon has taken wings,
While we are in the calm and proud procession of eternal things.
– ‘Babylon’ by George William Russell

Part Two. Sanjiv finished winding the rope and attached it to his belt before opening his pack and pulling out a small respirator. The air wasn’t quite bad enough to warrant putting it on, but he used it to take a few properly deep breaths in the still-dusty air and finally felt the [...]

“I’m sorry for your loss, Captain,” he said. “I too lost a lot of a starship, the Zhen’tharn. I lost a lot of … friends.” He took the PADD from the Captain and awkwardly looked over it, but he could not really focus on the list of other [...]

Part One. Sanjiv noticed the subtle change in demeanor, and for one panicked moment was worried that he’d stepped on the emotional landmine of a recently deceased pet. “I just don’t have the time. My job is… demanding. I figured it’s a bad idea to get a cat if you [...]

The planet Casperia was absolutely trying to murder him. Of this, he was certain. The shuttle crash, the forest full of dangerous fauna and four ungrateful Zaldans, and the cave that had come crashing down nearly on his head were ample evidence of the fact. Holiday or not, Sanjiv Anand was not [...]
