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.

The Peace We Keep

The sprint to the distress signal’s coordinates didn’t feel like fifteen minutes. Song felt like she’d spent easily three hours watching stars fly by the viewscreen. Once upon a time, she’d found them fascinating- thinking about how those little dots of light had been [...]

Hallways across the Al-Batani were filled with chatter, friends and colleagues stopping to discuss the science expedition on Nareen, the weather on Risa and even the football match on Ferenginar next month. In the mess, chatter accompanied by clatter from cutlery and culinary delights galore. [...]
