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.
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.
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 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 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.

It hadn’t worked. The fleet admiral hadn’t blinked. He’d have to try something else. “Get me Grayson. We’re going to take him down to the shuttlebay. Let’s see what she does when it’s him that’s next in line to die.” Maybe that would be enough. [...]

They hadn’t listened. They hadn’t submitted. They had chosen to resist the Supremacy, and for that, there was only one answer. They would pay in blood, their own and that of their comrades. This is how it was done, how compliance was ensured. “What’s the status of the [...]

Night had come to Archanis Station, but soon there would be light. The cavalry was on their way, and the advanced squad was already in place. It had been ten days since Archanis Station had fallen, time enough for the Vaadwaur to assert their supremacy, to use force and terror to methodically root [...]
