Bravo Fleet
USS Io
Luna-class • NCC-80105 • Io Light Explorer Division • Task Force 93
The USS Io (NCC-80105) is a Luna-class light explorer assigned to the Fourth Fleet under the command of Captain Silas Crowe. Serving as the flagship of the Io Light Explorer Division, the ship was commissioned in 2379, named for the mythological figure whose story embodies resilience and transformation. Like its namesake, Io has weathered adversity and emerged stronger, continuing its mission with steadfast determination.
In the wake of the 250th Frontier Day, Starfleet was left fractured, reeling from a catastrophe that devastated much of its fleet, claimed countless lives, and shook the foundation of trust within the Federation. The months that followed were marked by grief, paranoia, and a struggle to rebuild. Yet through it all, the crew of the USS Io endured. They became a symbol of perseverance, a reminder that even in the darkest times, Starfleet’s mission—to explore, to seek out new life, to forge peace—must continue.
Now, Io is more vigilant than ever. Tasked with deep-space exploration, scientific discovery, and diplomatic outreach, it operates at the fringes of the known galaxy, pushing beyond the familiar into the vast unknown. The ship’s crew stands ready to meet the challenges of a galaxy still recovering from recent upheaval, offering aid to those in need, extending a hand to new allies, and defending the ideals of the Federation where they are most threatened.
With every mission, the USS Io carries Starfleet’s enduring spirit forward, boldly going where no one has gone before.
