Lakota Heavy Cruiser Squadron, or, informally, Lakota Squadron, is a squadron of the Fourth Fleet’s Task Force 17, centered on the adventures of several starships and their crew as they carry out a wide variety of critical missions across Federation space and beyond. Formed in the aftermath of Frontier Day 2401, Lakota Squadron is composed of three starships capable of carrying out the various roles and responsibilities dictated by the mandate of the United Federation of Planets. The composition of vessels assigned to the squadron is such that virtually any objective can be completed, whether within the confines of Federation space, or far from safety in far-flung areas of the known galaxy.
