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. The two hot standby ships are designated to responding 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 and used by [[Starbase 118]]'s command staff 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. When the [[USS Arrow]] is not performing this duty, she is used to run escort protecting special cargo shipments or V.I.Ps in transit. | ||
