  USS Babylon is a Grissom-class surveyor assigned to Task Force 17 under the command of Captain Sanjiv Anand. Ostensibly intended for deep space mapping assignments, the Babylon’s primary mission is to follow up on reports of extinct civilizations on the edge of Federation space and determine if further study of these locations would be safe and ethical.
The blue dusk ran between the streets; my love was winged within my mind;
It left to-day and yesterday and thrice a thousand years behind.
To-day was past and dead for me for from to-day my feet had run
Through thrice a thousand years to walk the ways of ancient Babylon.

The trees were out to get Ixabi, and they were everywhere. Rarely had she seen a capital city like Yovra: instead of plants landscaped as an afterthought into a city’s soft corners, each building, road, and signpost seemed carefully woven into whatever spaces the forest offered. The [...]

USS Babylon and USS Olympic
Dreams. Such wispy, feathery things. Creation and destruction played out on a personal scale – one moment nothing, and the next, everything. Or so it should be. So it used to be.
