USS Swiftsure

About

Echelon-class • NCC-97410 • Fourth Fleet

The USS Swiftsure (NCC-97410) is an Echelon-class light cruiser assigned to Endeavour Squadron, who operate out of Gateway Station in the Midgard Sector. She acts in a multi-mission role prioritising dealing with emerging situations that threaten Starfleet’s interests in the area. Outside of these, she primarily supports frontier operations on behalf of the Federation, focusing on development of local defensive infrastructure and rooting out local piracy and facilitating colonial development. These missions make full use of her speed, armament, and extensive secondary craft capabilities while harnessing her extensive capabilities as a utility vessel.

Under the command of Captain Addison Faust, the squadron’s deputy commander, the Swiftsure has prioritised upholding the interests of Federation citizens in the Midgard Sector. This includes defence of the Midgard Colony and its commercial and industrial affairs, but has also increasingly incorporated protecting and assisting corporate and colonial ventures beyond Federation space. Captain Faust has notably taken a dim view of the disruption of local pirates or political factions such as the Romulan Rebirth Movement, and retains a strong tactical profile of her ship to ensure the frontier remains a stable front for a Federation still reeling from crises such as Frontier Day.
