Introduction
Welcome to the Astute Light Cruiser Division. 
Deployed along the former Demilitarized Zone, the Astute Light Cruiser Division supports the mission of Task Force 72 through the provision of Rapid Response for priority Engineering & Humanitarian Response frontier - missions and the conduct of Covert Operations & Reconnaissance - in - Force deployments beyond the Federation's borders.
Formed in the wake of the Nightfall Incursion into the Alpha & Beta Quadrants by the forces of the Vaadwaur Supremacy, Task Force 72 assigned the Echelon – class Light Cruiser, USS Astute to head up a Rapid Reaction Division along with the Prometheus – class Heavy Escort, USS Athena.
Together the deployment of both vessels enable Fourth Fleet to maintain patrol duties along the former DMZ and aid in the recovery operations to the many worlds devastated by the Vaadwaur invaders via the USS Astute, whilst the more martially – capable USS Athena stands ready to investigate and respond-in-force to any further incursion into Federation – space, as Starfleet seeks to heal the lasting wounds of conflict.
