Phoenix Squadron

"Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny."

    —C.S. Lewis

Overview

Operating from Eos Station (DS108), an aging, somewhat operational Watchtower-Class starbase, the Eos Frontier Squadron isn't Starfleet's elite. They're the leftovers. Undermanned and outfitted with older ships, they are the last line of defense in the Alpha Doradus system. A chaotic region where the Federation's influence has faded, giving room to smugglers and illegal trade.

The sector is a powder keg, caught between unpredictable Romulan factions, opportunistic pirates, and the growing threat of the Phoenix Consortium. Outgunned and outmaneuvered, the Eos Squadron embodies Starfleet's resilience and resourcefulness. Led by Fleet Captain Elena Mitchell, they prove that even Starfleet’s forgotten can rise to meet the greatest challenges.

Mission

• Intelligence Gathering: Monitor Romulan activity, Phoenix operatives, and illegal trade to prevent escalating threats.
• Border Patrol: Intercept illicit shipments and deter pirate activity.
• Rapid Response: Conduct reconnaissance, rescue missions, and defensive operations.
• Diplomatic & Crisis Management: Negotiate in dangerous situations and oversee humanitarian efforts.

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 Decades of neglect and shifting priorities turned it into an aging relic with outdated systems and a diminished purpose.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).
