Bravo Fleet
USS Polaris (NCC-80001)
While research and development activities typically occur on starbases and outposts within Federation territory, sometimes the greatest discoveries are made amongst the stars. This is the mission of the Polaris Squadron.
USS Polaris
Odyssey-class • NCC-80001 • Polaris Advanced Research Squadron • Fourth Fleet
The USS Polaris is an Odyssey-class heavy explorer that serves as the flagship of Polaris Squadron and home of the Advanced Science, Technology and Research Activity. The Polaris is equipped with cutting edge laboratories, sensor suites, and analysis cores that give it near-parity with top-of-the-line R&D facilities, while having a degree of mobility such facilities do not have. It is also well appointed for frontier diplomatic duties, but it has some tactical drawbacks due to its size and purpose that are augmented by Polaris Squadron’s other vessels.
The stories of Polaris Squadron are rated 2-2-2 for mature subject matter, including violence, language and sexual content.
Polaris Advanced Research Squadron
Polaris Squadron is a multi-mission flag squadron under the command of Fleet Admiral Allison Reyes that supports two specialized units and three overall mission profiles:
- The Advanced Science, Technology and Research Activity (ASTRA), a specialized cross-functional research unit that exists to fuel Starfleet’s innovation engine through discovery, investigations and interactions on the frontier.
- The Advanced Unit for Reconnaissance, Operations and Response Activities (AURORA), a special operations unit that exists to collect intelligence and conduct clandestine operations within the borderlands and wherever else the mission leads.
- Archanis Sector Operations, including engineering, diplomatic and security functions as the Fourth Fleet seeks to rehabilitate aging infrastructure, strengthen relationships with borderlands colonies and neighboring powers, and strengthen its security posture within the sector.
The flagship of Polaris Squadron is the USS Polaris, an Odyssey-class heavy explorer that hosts the Advanced Science, Technology and Research Activity, and the headquarters of Polaris Squadron is Archanis Station, a Canopus-class starbase from whence sector operations of the Archanis Sector are managed.
