USS Liberty is a Sagan-class light explorer commanded by Captain Elara Galcyon. Assigned to Sirius Squadron, her primary duty is deep space exploration beyond the Federation’s Beta Quadrant frontier. Based out of the squadron’s headquarters, Gateway Station, Liberty ventures into former Romulan Star Empire territory within the Midgard Sector and beyond. There, even missions close to home are shrouded in mystery and challenge, with Starfleet only now able to enter these vast swathes of space mere light-years from the border. Exploring the remnants of the fallen Empire, Liberty faces new challenges every day as she charts, surveys, and analyses the region. More often than not, she operates independently from her squadron, though can conduct reconnaissance operations, provide scientific evaluation, and offer tactical support should the formation be deployed in its entirety.

Sirius Expeditionary Squadron is a unit centered around the Odyssey-class USS Sirius under the command of Commodore Matt Rourke. Sirius Squadron stands ready to deploy outside or on the fringes of Federation territory at short notice to respond to emerging situations across the galaxy. With multiple versatile and powerful ships at its disposal, the squadron can operate independently and without support for extended periods, and is flexible enough to face a range of missions, including under volatile circumstances where objectives and conditions can quickly change. While this profile often leads Sirius Squadron to respond to geopolitical crises, the unit’s versatility make it equally suited emergent scientific investigations.
The main unit, organised around the Sirius herself, is an element of several powerful ships each able to take the lead or act independently depending on the mission’s needs. Deployed together, they are a supremely well-rounded and capable unit. Two additional divisions provide specialist support. The first, headed by the USS Redemption, acts as an operations element to provide engineering, humanitarian, or diplomatic services. The second, headed by the USS Liberty, fulfils dedicated exploratory or scientific missions. The divisions may deploy independently or in support of one another, depending on operational needs.

The Rooks beamed into Innes just before dawn. For a moment, they could stand in the blue-grey light of a world holding its breath. The city stretched out before them like it was painted from both nightmare and dream, beautiful and broken. Innes had always stood apart from the massive cities of the [...]

‘We have our plan.’ The words hummed through the Rookery, but any dramatic impact was lost as Q’ira flopped dramatically back on her beanbag and said, ‘Thank stars, I’ve been so fucking bored!’ Nallera glanced down at her. ‘I thought you were worried we wouldn’t have petty crime for [...]

After eighteen hours, they had a clear picture of the Vaadwaur Supremacy’s occupation of the Alpha Centauri system. It didn’t help. ‘I’m confident,’ said Aryn to Ranicus and Cassidy as the three stood before the display in the Rookery, ‘that the Vaadwaur are using the pre-existing comms [...]

Nallera’s rap on the door was firm, but only because she’d spent a solid minute second-guessing. It came as little surprise the response wasn’t immediate, the door swishing open after a solid ten seconds of silence. ‘Hey, I’m just checking in…’ She spoke in a sing-song voice as she [...]
