Phoenix Squadron

"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."

    —Ralph Waldo Emerson

Overview

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 volatile regions such as Freecloud and the T'Met sector, the squadron contends with Romulan factions, opportunistic pirates, and thriving smuggling operations. However, a new threat has emerged—the Phoenix Consortium. Though their former leader, Ambrose Nichols, has been eliminated, the organization remains a major force in the region, using their vast network of mercenaries, smugglers, and former Starfleet defectors to challenge Federation authority.

Composed of aging, battle-tested vessels with storied pasts, 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 rise to meet the galaxy’s greatest challenges.

Mission

• Providing Intelligence: Serve as Starfleet’s eyes and ears in the region, collecting and analyzing data on the shifting alliances and power struggles of the fractured Romulan Free State.
• Conducting Patrols: Oversee trade routes, intercepting illegal activities like smuggling and piracy..
• Rapid Response and Tactical Operations: Act as a first responder to crises, providing reconnaissance, rescue missions, and defensive actions.
• Diplomatic Engagement and Crisis Management: Facilitate diplomatic negotiations in sensitive situations and coordinate humanitarian relief efforts as required.

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 Decades of neglect and shifting priorities turned it into an aging relic with outdated systems and a diminished purpose.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 the aging USS Ambassador (Ambassador-class).
