A contemporary and versatile upgrade to one of Starfleet's most legendary explorers, Lakota serves proudly as the flagship of Lakota Squadron, spearheading the squadron's exploration of deep space and beyond, whilst proudly flying Starfleet's flag around the Federation.
USS Lakota is an Excelsior-II-class heavy cruiser assigned as the flagship of the Fourth Fleet’s Lakota Squadron. Continuing a long and proud legacy, she is the fourth vessel to bear the proud Lakota name. Representing a contemporary and versatile upgrade to the iconic Excelsior-class starships of yesteryear, she is a versatile ship taking on a path of her own in these challenging times, operating in some of the most dangerous areas of the galaxy.
Having bounced back from the loss of their captain during the deadly Frontier Day disaster, the crew found new life when merged with new colleagues from aboard the Hathaway, and with Fleet Captain Keziah Nazir at the helm, only for her tenure to end after revelations about her personal life became public. With trust and belief at an all-time low, Starfleet returns a familiar face to the ship in the form of the personable Captain Giarvar Kauhn. The appointment of Commander Kerina Marten as XO, someone believed to be the architect of Nazir’s downfall, ensures that another period of transition results in increased tensions, with clashes between old and new personnel threatening to ruin the harmony found under the Nazir regime. Can Kauhn balance his commitments and restore the crew’s belief and hope for the future as Lakota tackles some of its most dangerous missions yet.
The stories of Lakota Squadron are rated 2-2-2 for mature subject matter, including some moderate violence, language and sexual content.
