USS Tiro NCC-90216 is a Reliant-class Federation starship currently assigned to Fourth Fleet's Task Force 93. Under the command of Commander Daylen Baro, she serves as a patrol and support ship, playing a secondary role in the task force's operations. While small, the Tiro is a modern and capable ship, with comfortable facilities and up-to-date amenities, making her an appealing assignment for officers despite her relatively inauspicious mission profile.

The Tiro is capable of providing logistical support and medical relief to secondary humanitarian incidents. Her extensive cargo bays and large shuttlebays, which can be outfitted with additional auxiliary craft, give her the facilities to assist in small-scale crisis relief. In larger humanitarian missions, the Tiro can provide support to the operations of more capable ships, such as by ferrying supplies or dealing with secondary locations. Outside of such assignments, the Tiro fulfils patrol and scout duties, either monitoring the task force's areas of operations or sweeping for dangers to relief efforts. This is particularly pertinent when the humanitarian threat is from military action or stellar phenomenon, where additional risks need monitoring or the aid mission needs protecting.

Crew of the Tiro

• Commander Daylen Baro: A Bajoran man in his early thirties, Commander Daylen grew up on Bajor in the aftermath of the Occupation and from an early age was enamoured by Starfleet and all they did to help his people. Now a CO with a ship of his own, he is eager and optimistic, and dedicated to the Tiro's duty as a support ship, a job he humbly embraces. When working with ships and captains who have enjoyed more auspicious missions, Daylen can be quite star-struck, enthusiastic about listening to his colleagues' adventures.
• Lieutenant Commander Ed Stroud: A human man in his late thirties, Commander Stroud is the Tiro's XO. A dour man, he is not grumpy so much as pessimistic, always dumping the proverbial glass of cold water on his captain's enthusiasm with a deadpan and dolorous attitude. An engineer before he moved to command, he likes knowing how things work - and always sees how they can go wrong. This sometimes balances him with Daylen, but the two have yet to learn how to work well together.

In Play

• The Tiro is a Task Unit Asset, and any member of Task Force 93 can feature it in their stories.
• She is a small yet capable ship, able to undertake minor relief missions on her own, or offer initial aid ahead of the main deployment. In more significant humanitarian operations, she can only provide support to larger ships.
• Otherwise, the Tiro provides patrol and scouting duties, scoping out danger in humanitarian hot-spots.
• She also works well to 'tidy up' events towards the end of a mission. Capable of survey or minor relief work, she makes a good choice if your story leaves behind loose ends a Starfleet ship might have to deal with.
• The Tiro can be used like any other task unit asset, showing up to resupply or deliver officers, or mentioned off-screen by dealing with distant problems or discovering the initial plot hook that your ship is sent to deal with.
