Hot Standby

The fleet has two ships which are are kept docked at Starbase 118 as a backup to the main patrol outside the station. These two vessels are on hot standby. On the current rotation these are the USS Aegis and the USS Columbia. These two ships remain docked at Starbase 118 and are ready to launch on five-minutes notice so as to respond to any situations that might crop up within the region. To this end, a specially-trained StarBase crew man's these craft as a skeleton crew for the battle-ready designated vessels Oftentimes either the USS Aegis or the USS Columbia may be moved to mission active status in use by Starbase 118's command staff when they need to follow up leads or react to specific situations. When this occurs, the smaller ship, USS Arrow, moves on to hot standby to ensure that there are always two battle-ready vessels ready to leave Starbase 118 within five minutes.

In the event that these three permanently stationed vessels are unavailable, one of the StarFleet vessels which are in dock for resupply or shore-leave will be designated as the battle-ready vessel. Whenever possible, if the battle-ready vessel is a visiting (temporary) ship, more than one will be designated to allow an "on" and "off-shift" for the skeleton crew. Generally, to allow the ship's own crew the chance to disembark.

Cool Standby

The fleet's cool standby vessel is currently the USS Constitution, which remains docked at Starbase 118. A heavy cruiser, the cool standby vessel is ready to launch on thirty-minutes notice so as to respond to any situations that might crop up within the region. When on cool standby the USS Constitution interfaces with Starbase 118's computers to keep tabs on their crew, and are expected to utilize their own internal transporter systems to recall crew when possible.

Galaxy Class




She is supported by:

  • 15 squadrons of fighters
  • 4 squadrons of support shuttles (any type)

NB: This is the Fleet's current deployment, however, the Galaxy class starship could be replaced with three frigates/similarly equipped smaller vessels.

Medical/Scientific Support

Medical vessels, such as the Geneva-, Graceful- and Olympic-class vessels, are much more predictable in their configuration and missions. Dedicated to healing the injured, treating the sick, and pushing back the frontiers of medical knowledge, they have saved uncounted millions of Federation lives. Instead of flying "patrols," they go where ordered by Starfleet Medical or Starfleet Command, or accompany large contingents of ships heading into battle or other dangerous situations (though they carefully remain to the rear and display their medical emblems prominently).

Research/Laboratory Vessels

Scientific pursuits remain at the forefront of Starfleet's agenda, and it is justly proud of its Research and Laboratory vessels. Ranging from the smaller Fermi-class "flying laboratory" which conducts experiments in zero-g and other space environments, to the large Nova-class planetary surveyor, they tend to be highly specialized. Many are modular, allowing different laboratory modules to be swapped in and out to reconfigure the ship for a specific mission with relatively little effort.
