USS Cardenas (NCC-86419)

USS Cardenas

Reliant-class • NCC-86419 • Hypatia Research Cruiser Division • Task Force 47 • Managed by FCAPT Keziah Nazir

Commissioned in 2392 with a name that harkens back to a bygone era, the USS Cardenas is a recognisable and essential part of the new Starfleet era. Named after one of the toughest ships of the golden age of exploration, Cardenas‘ role as a frigate sees her performing patrol duties across the Federation and on borders shared with friends and enemies alike. When not on patrol, Cardenas and her blend of veterans and inexperienced personnel can be found conducting scientific surveys, ferrying dignitaries to diplomatic engagements and transporting precious cargo.

The stories of Hypatia Division are rated 2-2-2 for mature subject matter, including some moderate violence, language and sexual content.

Hypatia Research Cruiser Division

With the fall of the Shroud, Hypatia Division operates out of Framheim Station in the Shackleton Expanse, tasked with flying the Starfleet flag in some of the region’s most tumultuous areas, beginning with a mission to tackle a violent, expansionist species known as the Draxan Imperium.

Hurried steps rang out in echoing bursts along the vast corridors of the Ascension Hall, the tiled floor and empty walls amplifying every impact, every step of the Footfall of Judgement. With each hooven step, this One’s breathing grew more laboured; it wasn’t easy carrying a weight such as [...]

The Nareen system wasn’t quite settled down as a fully formed star system- wisps of gas and dust from the old protoplanetary disk still snaked across the system’s plane, lit in the light of the young star in ribbons of pink, orange, and blue. Normally, the interference wouldn’t be [...]
