'''Alpha Starlines''' is a passenger transport company that operates a large fleet of starliners. In | '''Alpha Starlines''' is a passenger transport company that operates a large fleet of starliners. In addition to standard warp-capable transport ships, the company operates a selection of [[quantum slipstream]] transports since 2392. Its CEO is Alan Ferres.<ref name="fns92">[https://fednewsservice.com/2015/12/14/commercial-quantum-slipstream-travel-resumes/ Commercial quantum slipstream travel resumes], T'Vas, Federation News Service, 239212.14</ref> | ||

=== ''Andorian Rose'' === | |||
The ''Andorian Rose'' is a slipstream starliner. It has room for 2000 passangers, and is considered luxurious with comfortable seatings, a dining hall, a lounge with a bar, and sleeping cabins. It operates at least on routes [[Betazed]] – [[Bolarus IX]] and [[Cait Spacedock]] – Betazed.<ref name="fns92" /><ref name="The faraway worlds" /><ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-veritas/c/lSuwl4bivfQ/ "First impressions." (Part 1)], LtCmdr Sky Blake & Rivi Vataix, {{USS|Veritas}}, 239602.12</ref> | |||
The ''Andorian Rose'' was the Alpha Starline's first slipstream starliner. The starliner was launched in the late 2392, after the competing company Starlight Transport's slipstream starliner SS ''Atlantic'' was grounded for safety reasons. Following the incident with the ''Atlantic'', the Federation Transportation Bureau introduced more required training to all slipstream crews. The ''Andorian Rose'' was the first slipstream starliner operating after the grounding of the ''Atlantic'', and according to the CEO Alan Ferres, the company had followed safety and training standards that were more extensive than those required by the FTB. A company crewmember was required years of training before allowed to serve on the slipstream starliner.<ref name="fns92" /><ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-columbia/c/upv9SGXqmpc/ All Day, Every Day], Ensign Pholin Duyzer, {{USS|Columbia}}, 239512.18</ref> | |||
=== ''Tellarite Lily'' === | |||
The ''Tellarite Lily'' is a stripstream starliner. Launched before 2400, it operated at least on route Cait Spacedock – [[Beta Renner]].<ref name="The faraway worlds" /> | |||
=== Non-slipstream vessels === | |||
Most of the company's starliners and vessels are not slipstream capable. The departure board by the Alpha Starlines terminal in the Cait Spacedock Commercial Sector showed several vessels of various sizes and warp capabilites. Some of the destinations from the Cait Spacedock included [[Cait]], [[the Shoals]] and [[Pacifica]].<ref name="The faraway worlds" /> | |||
