“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 (NCC-75581) quietly carries out its mission as part of Starfleet’s Fourth Fleet, Task Force 17, a specialised unit dedicated to deep space exploration beyond the bounds of Federation infrastructure.
Commanded by Lt Cdr. Jorik Traven, the USS San Clemente (Mente) is a California-class utility cruiser named after a city in California, like all ships of her class. While more advanced and sometimes famous vessels chart bold new paths through the Delta and Gamma Quadrants, the Mente operates within Task Group 9, supporting Starfleet’s expansion into the unknown with missions that, though less glamorous, are no less essential to the Federation’s continued presence in deep space. Operating from the far-flung staging post of Deep Space 17 a Canopus-class station in the Typhon Frontier, Task Force 17 is at the cutting edge of discovery.
Though often overshadowed by shiny new Starship Classes and Explorers, the California-class represent the backbone of Starfleet’s reach across the stars. Designed for routine yet indispensable duties such as scientific surveying, engineering support, and medical transport, the Mente exemplifies the quiet competence required of a utility cruiser. While its missions may not make headlines, its contributions ensure that the Federation’s larger ambitions remain feasible in practice. The Mente embodies the resilience and adaptability demanded by Task Force 17’s lonely and far-flung assignments. In a galaxy filled with uncertainties, it is ships like the USS San Clemente, steadfast, unsung, and unrelenting, that keep the Federation’s ideals alive at the fringes of known space.

The sun on Casperia Prime rose early, casting warm golden light through the windows of Traven’s room, the shadows over the mountains would soon disappear. He’d been awake for a few hours now, sleep didn’t come easy, the memories of those left behind were hard to erase and even he struggled [...]

Aaron took a sip of the yellow and pink drink that was in his left hand. He grimaced a little as it burned going down his throat. He made a mental note to not only alert Jackson later that they didn’t serve synthehol here by default but also made a mental note for himself to keep that in mind. He [...]
