Phoenix Fleet

History

After the Federation mas­sacre at wolf 359, The Council com­mis­sioned a sal­vage oper­a­tion of the Sector, With around 40 Vessels involved in the Battle, All of which were Lost; This was no ami­able task.

One of the Ships on the Salvage oper­a­tion, The USS Discovery, Stumbled across what they thought was the remains of a Nebula class ves­sel. Upon scan­ning the Ship they found that the Warp Core was still fully oper­a­tional although everything else shields, propul­sion etc., were des­troyed. The anom­aly of this find res­ul­ted in a search of the derel­ict ves­sel. Every mem­ber of the crew was miss­ing except for one who had died as a res­ult of the in-​​operable Life Support sys­tem, they found the body of the cap­tain slumped over the engin­eer­ing ter­minal before the Warp Core. After Exploring the most recent Systems logs for the Ship and find­ing that a large num­ber of Escape pods had been launched, they reasoned that the cap­tains last act was to avert the con­tain­ment breach and allow all 236 mem­bers of his crew to sur­vive through the escape pods. Tracking the tra­ject­ory of these Pods the Discovery pro­ceeded to the 5th planet of the next sys­tem and upon hail­ing the planet found all 236 sur­viv­ing mem­bers of the crew. This event shone like a beacon of Hope to the mil­it­ar­ily broken Federation.

That Ship was the USS: Phoenix

To Prevent another Enemy Incursion into this Sector, Star Fleet com­mis­sioned a new Fleet to Serve as a pro­tector of the Federation, a Light in the dark­ness of des­pair, And like the fabled bird of Legend; Risen anew from the Ashes.

Named after the Survivor of Wolf 359 this Fleet was and still is to this day,

The Phoenix Fleet
