The USS Redemption (NCC-78240) is a Sovereign-class exploratory cruiser assigned to the Fourth Fleet under the command of Fleet Captain Addison Faust and a part of Sirius Squadron. After extensive refits to modernise her systems, the Redemption is a powerful and well-armed ship, and is responsible for the unit’s tactical and strategic operations. This entails not only the immediate of the Federation border, with the Redemption overseeing patrol and pirate-hunting duties to ensure the safety of Federation citizens and interests in the region. The ship has also been directed to support the Romulan Republic, lately threatened by the increased aggression of the Klingon Empire, and conducts joint operations to shore up the defences of the Federation’s allies. When not responding to emerging threats or on deployment with the squadron, Redemption remains close to the Midgard border to uphold Starfleet’s commitments and interests in Federation and Republic space.

Sirius Expeditionary Squadron, also known as Sirius Squadron, is a squadron centered around the Odyssey-class USS Sirius under the command of Commodore Matt Rourke, serving as a rapid deployment force.
Sirius Squadron stands ready to deploy outside or on the fringes of Federation territory at short notice to respond to emerging situations across the galaxy. With multiple versatile and powerful ships at its disposal, the squadron can operate independently and without support for extended periods, and is flexible enough to face a range of missions, including under volatile circumstances where objectives and conditions can quickly change. While this profile often leads Sirius Squadron to respond to geopolitical crises, the unit’s versatility make it equally suited emergent scientific investigations.
The main unit, organised around the Sirius herself, is an element of several powerful ships each able to take the lead or act independently depending on the mission’s needs. Deployed together, they are a supremely well-rounded and capable unit. Two additional divisions provide specialist support. The first, headed by the USS Redemption, acts as an operations element to provide engineering, humanitarian, or diplomatic services. The second, headed by the USS Liberty, fulfils dedicated exploratory or scientific missions. The divisions may deploy independently or in support of one another, depending on operational needs.

Mud and stones sprayed out from under the bicycle’s wheels at the skidding impact, and Al-Barazi had to hang tight to the handlebars to not lose his seat as he landed. He couldn’t really risk a glance over his shoulder, had too many twists and turns down the rocky riverside path ahead, but [...]
