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 passedto 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.

Deep Space 11 and USS Ulysses

The science annex aboard Deep Space Eleven was quiet at 0620—too quiet, even for Lieutenant Commander Harin’s standards. The bulkheads retained that early-morning chill and the faint thrum of plasma transfer through the station’s core systems had become the annex’s only company. [...]

Deep Space Eleven was motionless but watchful in the void of space. The stars across the region seemed farther apart, their light thinner, filtered through the edge of Federation space. The station’s hull was lit only by its own navigation strobes and internal systems—functional glows [...]

Where The Line Begins

Deep Space 11 and USS Ulysses

Space was quiet. Not the hollow silence of deep vacuum, but the taut, anticipatory quiet of a held breath. At the edge of charted space, where the Typhon Expanse unraveled into unquantifiable distortion, the stars blinked slower and somehow farther apart. Light itself seemed cautious near Deep [...]
