USS Ranger
Intrepid-class • NCC-74658 • Liberty Science and Exploration Division • Sirius Expeditionary Squadron • Fourth Fleet • Managed by ADM Alexander Beckett
The USS Ranger (NCC-74658) is an Intrepid-class light explorer assigned to the Fourth Fleet. As part of Sirius Squadron she is primarily based out of Gateway Station in the Midgard Sector, and is the designated survey vessel of the formation. The Federation’s knowledge of space formerly part of the Neutral Zone or Romulan Star Empire is limited, and operations out of Gateway are charged with exploring, charting, and studying regions, including some very close to the border that Starfleet has only recently been legally able to access.
With the modern and sophisticated USS Liberty in the squadron, the Ranger is rarely sent to the highest-priority exploration missions. She is, as such, posted to survey missions closer to Gateway, rounding out Starfleet’s knowledge of the immediate reaches of the sector. She is also dispatched to follow-up Liberty’s explorations, either investing time where the larger ship cannot, or where a higher priority situation has drawn her away. As such, the Ranger’s operations vary between routine study of local space to long-term surveys of locations of intrigue to secondary exploratory operations.

Sirius Expeditionary Squadron
Sirius Expeditionary Squadron is a unit centered around the Odyssey-class USS Sirius under the command of Commodore Matt Rourke. 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.

The corridors of the Vaadwaur cruiser were twisted metal and scorched plating, the shattered hull a metal grave spread across the blazing sands.

Fine red dust kicked up in the wake of the Nomad, its reinforced treads chewing through the sands of Threshold as it bounded up and over rolling dunes that, when they had landed, had stretched as far as the eye could see. Though they could not see their goal itself, they could see the sign of it: [...]
