Bravo Fleet
USS Redemption
Sovereign-class • NCC-78240 • Gateway Station • Fourth Fleet • Managed by ADM Alexander Beckett
The USS Redemption (NCC-78240) is a Sovereign-class exploratory cruiser assigned to the Fourth Fleet, and is attached to Gateway Station, the headquarters of Sirius Squadron. It is under the formal command of station commander Fleet Captain Jericho, who routinely leads from the front on operations into the Midgard Sector. Her day-to-day operations are overseen by her XO, Commander Malhotra, who oversees the ship in the absence of Captain Jericho.
While refitted and modernised over the years, the Redemption’s age and profile still see her considered, like most Sovereign-class ships, as a workhorse in the Starfleet of the 25th century. Nevertheless, she is a powerful vessel with a striking profile, and her assignment to Gateway Station and the Midgard Sector is a signifier of the region’s clear importance to the Federation. She is responsible for flag-flying missions, diplomatic outreach, logistical support and, when needed, high-level defensive operations, both within and beyond Federation space.
With the increased tensions with the Klingon Empire and closer relations to the Romulan Republic that they threaten, Redemption is a cornerstone of Federation peace, prosperity, and security in the Midgard Sector. Alongside these strategic needs, she supports the continued outreach to the fallen worlds of the former Romulan Star Empire, and their exploration and support.

Gateway Station
Starbase 23, code-named Gateway Station, is a Spacedock-class space station located on the Federation border to the Romulan Republic and the Independent Romulan Factions. Constructed in the late-2390s, it was designed to replace border infrastructure that dated back to before the Romulan supernova and the collapse of the Romulan Neutral Zone. Under the command of Fleet Captain Lionel Jericho, Gateway Station is now the hub of Starfleet operations in the Midgard Sector, a region that stretches across the territory of the Federation and Republic, as well as the collapsed Neutral Zone and the former territories of the Star Empire of Rator. Its mission is to maintain stability in the area through humanitarian operations and diplomacy with local Romulan factions, further Federation ambitions in the sector, and act as a platform for exploration into former imperial territories, regions Starfleet has never been able to study before.
