The USS Redemption (NCC-78240) is a Sovereign-class exploratory cruiser assigned to the Fourth Fleet under the command of Captain Addison Faust. Part of Sirius Squadron, she operates out of Gateway Station in the Midgard Sector. After extensive refits to modernise her systems, the Redemption is a powerful and well-armed ship, and is responsible for the unit’s tactical and strategic operations. This entails not only the immediate of the Federation border, with the Redemption overseeing patrol and pirate-hunting duties to ensure the safety of Federation citizens and interests in the region. The ship has also been directed to support the Romulan Republic, lately threatened by the increased aggression of the Klingon Empire, and conducts joint operations to shore up the defences of the Federation’s allies. When not responding to emerging threats or on deployment with the squadron, Redemption remains close to the Midgard border to uphold Starfleet’s commitments and interests in Federation and Republic space.

Design and Layout

As part of the wave of Sovereign-class ships built after the Dominion War, the Redemption has received multiple upgrades and refits over the course of her quarter-century of service. These improvements have kept her on a competitive footing with more modern ships. She has, however, retained most of the same aesthetics she held when originally built: decks are carpeted, the upholstery and fixtures retain rich, warm colours, though she does not share the outright opulence of larger explorers such as the Galaxy or Odyssey-class, with a more utilitarian presentation. Her captains have, over the decades, sought to preserve this appearance; once, it represented the height of Starfleet's power, while now it remains symbolic of a bygone golden era.

Bridge

Bridge of the USS Redemption

The Redemption retains the same bridge layout and design she bore upon launch. The design moves away from the tactical arch made popular by the Galaxy-class, with the command chairs positioned independently in the centre, the commanding officer's at a slight elevation. The seat to the captain's right is reserved for the executive officer, while the left is for guests and mission advisers. While previous bridges had many consoles, if not most, flush with the bulkhead, the Redemption has the most key positions at stand-alone work stations, including Science and Tactical.

-The '''USS ''Redemption'' (NCC-78240)''' is a Sovereign-class exploratory cruiser assigned to the Fourth Fleet under the command of [[bfms_char:89825|Captain Taviel Daragon]]. Part of [[Endeavour Squadron]], operating out of [[Gateway Station]] in the [[Midgard Sector]], the ''Redemption'' is the designated Tactical and Command ship of the formation. In practice, as a decades-old workhorse cruiser, she is responsible for much of the ‘flying the flag’ operations in the Midgard Sector, conducting outreach to local powers and offering humanitarian support. Her mere presence is enough to dissuade most local troublemakers, who could not begin to challenge the might of a ''Sovereign''-class, and her tactical value is otherwise reserved for crisis situations or a Starfleet intervention into aggression by a nearby warlord. As a well-rounded and powerful ship, she is the designated flagship if squadron leader [[bfms_char:12418/|Commodore Rourke]] takes the field, and otherwise remains close to the frontier to demonstrate Starfleet’s commitment to the interests of both sides of the border.
