USS Ulysses (NCC-90565)

USS Ulysses

Sovereign-class • NCC-90565 • Ulysses Exploratory Cruiser Division • Task Force 21 • Managed by FCAPT James MacLeod

The USS Ulysses is a Sovereign-class exploratory cruiser serving as the operational flagship of the Ulysses Exploratory Cruiser Division. Designed for long-range exploration, high-stakes diplomacy, and command-and-control missions, the Ulysses stands at the forefront of Starfleet’s frontier mandate, where uncertainty and rising threat test the Federation’s presence daily.

Following Captain Marcus Kane’s death on the bridge during Operation Iron Veil, command of the Ulysses passed to Captain Tala Roshan, a battle-tempered officer known for her clarity under pressure and refusal to posture. Under her leadership, the Ulysses has evolved into more than just a flagship—it is a symbol of grit and resolve.

Operating from Deep Space 11, the Ulysses supports rapid-response deployments, exploratory missions beyond the Kzinti frontier, and division-wide coordination under Fleet Captain James C. MacLeod. Alongside a hardened crew, including newly promoted Executive Officer Commander Zachary Brooks, the Ulysses remains a proving ground for Starfleet’s best and a warning to those who test Federation resolve.

Ulysses is a rated 2-2-2 personal fiction.

Ulysses Exploratory Cruiser Division

The Ulysses Exploratory Cruiser Division (COMULYEXCRUDIV) is a flexible, mission-driven formation operating under the authority of Frontier Operations Command Fourth Fleet, headquartered at Deep Space 11 along the Kzinti frontier. Under the command of Fleet Captain James C. MacLeod, the division conducts high-risk exploratory, tactical, and diplomatic operations across contested and developing sectors where Federation presence is limited.

Established during the Raeyan Incident and refined by lessons from Operation Iron Veil, the division represents Starfleet’s forward-deployed philosophy: agile, resilient, and self-reliant. With USS Ulysses (Sovereign-class) serving as its flagship and USS Unification (Nebula-class) providing scientific and diplomatic depth, the division anchors its efforts from Deep Space 11, a Copernicus-class starbase serving as both strategic hub and political fault line.

The division’s senior leadership blends tactical brilliance, frontier grit, and hard-earned trust — a structure forged through loss and tested under fire. Whether charting subspace anomalies or confronting emergent threats, the Ulysses Exploratory Cruiser Division stands ready to do what others won’t: carry the Federation into the unknown, and hold the line when no one else will.
