Bravo Fleet
USS Pathfinder (Archive)
Fourth Fleet
Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light,
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
– ‘The Old Astronomer to His Pupil,’ Sarah Williams
The first of her class, the USS Pathfinder has finished her shakedown cruise and received her first orders: to proceed to the former borders of the Romulan Neutral Zone. The region is rife with political instability, competing local factions, and some of the most desperate and dispossessed people of the quadrant, but Pathfinder’s mission is not one of security. The fall of the Romulan Star Empire has opened new opportunities for exploration, granting access to stretches of space no Starfleet ship has ever reached.
While the Pathfinder is a sophisticated science vessel capable of uncovering all manner of astronomical mysteries, stellar sciences are only her secondary priority. Her crew’s primary operations are missions of archaeology and anthropology: recovering knowledge lost with the Empire’s fall, helping displaced peoples regain connections to cultures left behind, and uncovering histories of territories once ruled by those with no interest in discovery.
With a crew of scientists, historians, diplomats, and explorers, Pathfinder must navigate these challenges – be they scientific, physical, or even political.

The stars had never moved so fast. At least, that was what Nate Beckett thought when he entered Pathfinder’s main lounge to see them streaming in the ship’s wake. They’d been pushing maximum speed for a while now, tearing across regions they’d gently picked over this past month. From the [...]

‘I’m grateful, Captain.’ Doctor Frankle looked a shadow of the man who’d stood in a Drapician townhouse and torn their thoughts from their minds now he sat slumped on the biobed. ‘Grateful and ashamed.’ ‘It’s clear you weren’t acting of your own free will,’ said Valance levelly. [...]

‘Banaro sent you?’ Valance had been surprised that their approach to the cathedral at dusk came with the clamouring of bells and the rush of city folk in what seemed a call to worship. Beckett had pointed out that sunset was a common time of prayer for many religions, and that the Drapicians [...]

Finding this Banaro was a lot easier than Valance expected. The crowd dispersed after Frankle was pulled back towards a looming distant tower Beckett guessed was a cathedral, and the tone had undoubtedly changed from a mixture of curiosity and fascination to a rumbling apprehension. The masses had [...]
