Bravo Fleet
USS Melbourne (NCC-71944)
An old dame with a long and storied career, some would say ships like Melbourne are long past their prime. But to her crew, hashed-together at the last minute though it may be, there's nowhere else they'd rather be.
USS Melbourne
Nebula-class • NCC-71944 • Task Force 47 • Managed by LCDR Charlotte MacColgan
Recently returned from the fire and ice over Andoria, USS Melbourne is an old and battered, but intact, workhorse. Still, it was believed that Nightfall was to be her last action- until Task Force 47, largely by necessity, called her to service again. What was initially a last-minute call to action will become a misfit but tight-knit crew on a vessel that, though old, is far from being put out to pasture just yet. Sometimes all you need is a tall ship and a star to steer her by.

USS Melbourne
Charlotte MacColgan was a woman who liked her beauty sleep. Ideally, if she was up before 0900 standard time, something was horribly wrong. She preferred her mornings slow and manageable, with a constantly full cup of coffee and maybe a muffin or a bowl of oatmeal. Flavored. Usually cinnamon [...]
