Phoenix Squadron: Difference between revisions

"Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the presence of justice."

—Martin Luther King Jr.

Summary

Following the collapse of the Romulan Star Empire, the Alpha Doradus Corridor has become a magnet for smugglers, warlords, and syndicates vying for control. Amid this fractured frontier, the Phoenix Frontier Squadron is Starfleet’s adaptive response; part law enforcement, part intelligence agency, part diplomatic wildcard.

Driven more by necessity than regulation, the Squadron is tasked with stabilizing shipping lanes, monitoring illicit activity, and navigating the morally gray zones where peace is bought, not protected. At its core: the USS Phoenix, a Ross-class starship serving as a mobile command center and operational hub in this volatile region. Without a fixed station to anchor them, the Phoenix acts as both tactical headquarters and diplomatic envoy in a space where allegiances are fluid and every cargo hold tells a different story.

The squadron was made defunct in 2402 when all assets were reassigned to other duties.

-== Overview ==
+== Summary ==
-Operating from Eos Station (DS108), a revitalized Watchtower-Class starbase, the Eos Frontier Squadron serves as Starfleet's presence in the rugged and politically unstable Alpha Doradus system. Situated near Freecloud and the T'Met sector, the squadron deals with fractured Romulan factions, opportunistic pirates, and smuggling operations.
+Following the collapse of the Romulan Star Empire, the Alpha Doradus Corridor has become a magnet for smugglers, warlords, and syndicates vying for control. Amid this fractured frontier, the Phoenix Frontier Squadron is Starfleet’s adaptive response; part law enforcement, part intelligence agency, part diplomatic wildcard.
-Composed of aging vessels, the squadron embodies Starfleet's resilience and resourcefulness. Led by Fleet Captain Elena Mitchell, the Eos Frontier Squadron proves that even Starfleet’s forgotten relics can meet the galaxy’s greatest challenges.
+Driven more by necessity than regulation, the Squadron is tasked with stabilizing shipping lanes, monitoring illicit activity, and navigating the morally gray zones where peace is bought, not protected. At its core: the USS ''Phoenix'', a Ross-class starship serving as a mobile command center and operational hub in this volatile region. Without a fixed station to anchor them, the ''Phoenix'' acts as both tactical headquarters and diplomatic envoy in a space where allegiances are fluid and every cargo hold tells a different story.
+The squadron was made defunct in 2402 when all assets were reassigned to other duties.

-== History ==
-Originally commissioned in 2293, Eos Station was a strategic outpost guarding the Romulan Neutral Zone. Decades of neglect and shifting priorities turned it into an aging relic with outdated systems and a diminished purpose. By the late 24th century, the station had become a forgotten footnote in Starfleet’s history.
-In 2400, the collapse of the Romulan Star Empire revitalized the Alpha Doradus sector. Eos Station was reactivated, its systems modernized, and its new purpose defined as the command hub for the Eos Frontier Squadron. With the USS Edison (Edison-class) joining the squadron , operations began.
-In 2402, following a hard battle with Orion pirates, the USS Edison was reassigned, making way for the arrival of the USS Yeager (Saber-Class). Not long after the addition of the Yeager, the Squadron also saw the addition of the USS Galileo (Steamrunner-class) and USS Hawking  (Nova-class).
