The USS San Clemente (NCC-75581) is a California-class utility Starship, assigned to 4th Fleet Task Force 17, under the command of Jorik Traven. The backbone of Starfleet, they facilitate its mission to explore the darkness. Without them, Starfleet & the Federation's mission would be impossible.
“The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled” – Plutarch
In the distant reaches of the 25th Century, the USS San Clemente quietly carries out its mission in Task Force 17, part of Starfleet’s Fourth Fleet. A specialist unit dedicated to the exploitation of deep space.
Commanded by Jorik Traven, the USS San Clemente (Mente) is a California class utility cruiser, named, as with other ships of her class, after a city in California on Earth. While more advanced and sometimes more famous vessels chart bold new paths through the vastness of space, the Mente ensures these can happen. Operating within Task Force 17, she supports the Starfleet’s mission of exploration into the unknown with missions that, though less glamorous, are no less essential to the Federations continued presence out in the black. Operating from the far-flung staging post of Deep Space 17, a Canopus-class station on the Typhon frontier, the Mente is at the cutting edge of discovery.
Though, often overshadowed by shiny new classes of starship, the California Class represents the backbone of Starfleet in their mission to reach beyond the stars. They’re designed for routine, yet indispensable duties such as Scientific Surveying, Engineering Support and Medical Transport. The Mente is no different, as an Engineering specialist vessel, she’s cut out to assist, support and maintain Starfleet’s vessels and outposts throughout the void of space.
In a galaxy full of uncertainties, it’s ships like the USS San Clemente that keep the United Federation of Planets ideals alive out in the fringes of space.

IKS Y’tem, USS San Clemente and USS San Clemente
The IKS Y’tem slid into the darkness of the Shackleton Expanse like a predator hunting its prey. The aging vessels frame shook with the pulse of her impulse engines, to her crew it was a familiar sound, one of home. She had once prowled the front lines during the Dominion War, she was bloodied, [...]

USS San Clemente
The USS San Clemente floated motionless docked within Deep space 17. The warp core powered down meaning the nacelles had lost their blue glow. The hull was freshly polished, small figures of crew finishing their work, busing themselves dotted throughout in EVA suits. Worker bees drifted around the [...]

The Pulse Between the Deckplates
USS San Clemente
Ensign’s Log. Every ship has its ghost stories. Throughout history, in every culture, explorers have become the most superstitious of people. Ours started last night…. It was third watch, power was cycling in Cargo Bay two, the lights were dimmed apart from a single portable [...]

USS San Clemente
The USS San Clemente dropped out of warp with the usual shudder in the deck plating. Brunak swore it was just the ships ‘way of saying hello’, she was a well-seasoned vessel after all. Ahead hung a yellow/white star with three planets orbiting around. Only one was habitable, lush green [...]
