Arcturus Wayfinding Squadron
Arcturus Wayfinding Squadron is an elite exploratory unit that specializes in finding new ways forward for Starfleet. Distinct from navigation, which is plotting a course based on the precise knowledge of exactly where one is in the universe, wayfinding is a more general word that refers to the process of orienting oneself in regard to space, place, objects, and peoples. Wayfinding was practiced by the Polynesian and Norse voyagers of Earth in the ancient past, as they used landmarks, the stars, and their relationships with other beings to find their way across the seas. While Arcturus Squadron engages in traditional surveying and charting missions, its mandate is also to use whatever tools it can to find the way forward, whether through diplomacy, acquiring or developing new propulsion methods, or, when necessary, mitigating threats to Starfleet’s exploratory mission.
Currently, Arcturus Squadron is based out of Olympia Station at the rimward trailing edge of Federation space in the Alpha Quadrant.

Perhaps because it was also the start of a new year, Paulo Costa always found himself more reflective than usual on his birthday. The beginning of 2402 was also the beginning of the last year of his twenties. While he’d always hoped to hit captain before his thirtieth birthday, that seemed like a [...]

The gentle and distant roar in the ocean could be heard in the background as Tristan Hawthorne and Paulo Costa lounged together head to foot in a hammock suspended between two jacaranda trees. It had probably been an hour since the two of them had spoken, enjoying each other’s company as they [...]
