USS Diligent (NCC-97314)
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.
USS Diligent
Alita-class • NCC-97314 • Polaris Advanced Research Squadron • Fourth Fleet
The USS Diligent is an Alita-class heavy escort that augments Polaris Squadron with significant tactical capabilities to defend the research unit from threats that lurk on the frontier. Typically, the USS Diligent deploys alongside the USS Polaris to safeguard the flagship, but it may deploy as tactical support for the USS Ingenuity when the smaller research vessel breaks away to conduct independent missions.
The stories of Polaris Squadron are rated 2-2-2 for mature subject matter, including violence, language and sexual content.
Polaris Advanced Research Squadron
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 Advanced Science, Technology and Research Activity (ASTRA), a specialized cross-functional research unit that exists to fuel Starfleet’s innovation engine through discovery, investigations and interactions on the frontier.
- The Advanced Unit for Reconnaissance, Operations and Response Activities (AURORA), a special operations unit that exists to collect intelligence and conduct clandestine operations within the borderlands and wherever else the mission leads.
- Archanis Sector Operations, including engineering, diplomatic and security functions as the Fourth Fleet seeks to rehabilitate aging infrastructure, strengthen relationships with borderlands colonies and neighboring powers, and strengthen its security posture within the sector.
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.

This wasn’t like earlier. Earlier, they’d gotten the jump on the enemy, and the numbers hadn’t been so skewed against them. This time, the Vaadwaur had left nothing to chance, rallying a small armada, six battlecruisers plus a full wing of small craft. And that wasn’t even their biggest [...]
