The USS Diligent is the Alita-class flagship of the Diligent Heavy Cruiser Division, responsible for defensive and tactical operations within Polaris Flotilla. Host to a state-of-the-art Combat Information Center, the Diligent is capable of coordinating flotilla-wide combat operations and formations, although depending on mission parameters, it may also deploy on protective duty for other assets or act as an independent interdictor.

Polaris Advanced Research Flotilla

Polaris Flotilla is a multi-mission frontier unit under the command of Fleet Admiral Allison Reyes. Headquartered at Archanis Station and led from the USS Polaris, the flotilla unifies frontier research, regional support and rapid response under a single command structure built for sustained operations across the Archanis Sector and beyond.

The flotilla is organized around three operational pillars:

Together, these elements enable Polaris Flotilla to respond dynamically to scientific, humanitarian, security and strategic developments both along the Archanis borderlands and far beyond them.
