San Francisco Fleet Yards

The **San Francisco Fleet Yards** (also known as the **San Francisco Naval Yards** or **San Francisco Yards**) was a Starfleet shipyard in geosynchronous orbit over San Francisco on Earth. The shore offices were located on Mare Island, but the Yards also maintained an orbital office complex that acted as a nexus for the drydocks in orbit.

Along with the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards at Mars, the San Francisco Fleet Yards are one of the major starship design and construction facilities of Starfleet.

Project Excelsior

**Project Excelsior** was the name given to the Starfleet initiative to design starships that could take advantage of the Rodis-George warp propulsion system. While several designs were developed as part of the project, its culmination was the eponymous *Excelsior*-class.

## History

Though not officially part of Project Excelsior, the USS *Repulse* (NX-1900) was a testbed design for technological innovations primarily brought about by the invention of duotronic computers. Launched in 2249, the *Repulse*'s tests were sidelined during the First Federation-Klingon War in the mid 2250s. The vessel resumed trial runs when the conflict ended and was retired by decade's end.

Project Excelsior officially began almost twenty years later. Using the USS *Repulse* as a base, shipwrights developed the *Excelsior*-class, a culmination of the technologies tested aboard the retired vessel and the new Rodis-George warp engine.

When Starfleet Command was presented with the design, they requested additional vessels using the new aesthetic and technologies. To more quickly meet this demand, the Corps of Engineers adapted some older classes. Although not intended to implement the new warp technology, the *Oberth*-class was designed using the same aesthetic.

Rekindle

**Rekindle** was a female Zyrian scientist who served in Starfleet in the late 24th and early 25th centuries.

## Biography

The Zyria were deeply connected to each other and their homeworld. They were not telepathic, but each were “aware” of the rest of their species. Rekindle always felt curious about interstellar space, and the other cultures that lie within the ocean of stars. Though it was rare for a Zyrian to do so, Rekindle left Lurxia to join Starfleet. Her desire to explore helped her to deal with the feelings of disconnect while away from her home.

Tal Shiar

Organization emblem (pdmahler)

The **Tal Shiar** or **Tal'Shiar** was the secretive intelligence and policing agency of the Romulan Star Empire, and was the most highly respected and feared organization within the state. Their main objective was to protect the Empire's security from both external and internal threats using whatever means necessary. Members were trained at the Romulan Intelligence Academy.

## History

In the years after the destruction of Romulus, the Tal Shiar had evolved to become very nearly the Empire's primary military force. Although a certain rivalry sometimes existed between the self-proclaimed Empress Sela and the Tal Shiar, the agency basically served as her means of projecting power internally and externally. As such, the Tal Shiar became even more ruthless and secretive after the Hobus supernova.

Praetorian Guard

The ***Morairi ih'Fvillha*** or **Praetorian Guard** was the honor guard of the Romulan Star Empire. The unit was commanded by the Praetor of the Romulan Star Empire (*Fvillha s'Shiar ih'Saeihr Rihan*) and served as the official's personal guard and agents.

## Organization

The Praetor was the commander in chief of the Praetorian Guard. Two divisions existed in the Guard: the *TalPrai'ex*, comprised of warbirds and naval personnel, and the *Rei'kara*, comprised of army personnel and planetary transports.

### *Tal**'**Prai'ex*

The division followed the regular chain of command within the Imperial Star Navy, however, their orders could be countermanded by any ranking member of the Imperial Household or the Praetor. They served as elite escorts of starships deemed important by the Praetor and all commanders of the *Tal Prai'ex* were expected to provide regular intelligence to the Praetor.

Shikaris class

## SPACECRAFT CLASS

The ***Shikaris*-class** was a type of starship developed by the Caitian Defense Force in the early 25th century. It was named after the shikara, a predatory animal native to Cait.

## History

### Design and construction

Much like the *Atrox*-class before it, the *Shikaris*-class was designed by the Caitian Defense Force in response to war. After the Battle of Earth and the defense of Qo'noS at the height of the Undine War, Caitian and Ferasan engineers worked together to develop heavily armed escorts to aid in the defense of their own homeworlds and to assist the Alpha Quadrant Alliance in the war.

Both designs utilized Caitain stealth technologies, heavily updated since its development with the *Stalker*-class, and Ferasan railgun weaponry. The Caitain design was dubbed the *Shikaris*-class, while the Ferasan ship was named the *Slithus*-class. Both prototypes were completed and entered service in 2410. Three additional vessels of the *Shikaris*-class were completed shortly thereafter and also stationed to defend Cait.

## Technical specifications

### Tactical systems

The most controversial addition to the class' armaments was its railgun turret, attached to the ventral hull.

Romulan Republic Temporal Defense

**Romulan Republic Temporal Defense** (Rihan: ***Tal Rehhae***, "the watchers") was a civilian agency of the Romulan Republic dedicated to the investigation of temporal incidents.

One of the agency's primary concerns was to preserve the events which formed the Republic, including stopping any parties who wished to use time travel to prevent the destruction of Romulus and Remus, or any other relevant event.

## Organization

Managed by a civilian position, the *Daise'rhaetelh* ("chief executive"), the *Tal Rehhae* reported to the Proconsul and Republic Parliament through the Temporal Issues Committee. The agency was comprised of both civilian and military personnel (under their rank), although it was strictly operated as a civilian organization. Civilian staff were known as *lehrei* ("agent") or *vaed'rehai* ("professor"), while military personnel carried their military rank. Several *daesnen* ("administrator") operated under the Daise'rhaetelh in managing the agency.

Sherah zh'Priinia

**Sherah zh'Priinia** was a zhen Andorian of the Bish'ee subspecies and a musical prodigy.

## Biography

The last child of zhas union, Sherah was given a name in Graalen (*sherra*) which translated as "treasured substance of the bloodlines." Both Sherah's thavan and shreva were experts with the flabbjellah (*flaav'grela*), a traditional Andorian musical instrument and weapon. From a young age the zhen was trained in *Hrsa'ondara*, the martial art form of the flabbjellah. Though Sherah became expert in the form, zha was always drawn more to the *flaav'grela's* musical aspects. Her parents took note and fostered their child's music talents.

Shortly after turning thirteen, Sherah was admitted to the Andorian Academy of Arts to begin more professional musical training. Zha was somewhat of a prodigy and soon became widely known as an expert musician. In late 2386, Sherah was offered a teaching position at the Aldebaran Music Academy. Though reluctant to be so distant from family, the young zhen accepted with the blessing of her parents and became the youngest instructor at the school.

## Personal relationships

### Lorha Thylryr

Sherah and Lorha met when the Klingon was transferred to the *Gheryzan* as its new operations manager. The two socialized at many of the starship's gatherings and events, eventually discovering their mutual athletic interests. Invitations from Lorha to spar turned into regular meetings and the two eventually became close friends.

T'varo class

## SPACECRAFT CLASS

A T'varo warbird in Praetorian livery.

The ***Iirhhaedh'rrhiet T'varo*** or ***T'varo*-class** was a type of spacecraft developed by the Romulan Guard in the mid 24th century. It was inspired by the *T'liss*-class and was designated the ***New Eagle*-class** by Starfleet.

## Technical information

In the mid 24th century, leaders in the Romulan Guard saw a need for a small, light craft to support the large *D'deridex*-class warbirds. Imperial engineers were inspired by the old *T'liss*-class and brought its profile into the new century. The *T'varo*-class was the offspring of this endeavor.

## Derivatives

### *Malem*

Named for the maiori of the lost Virinat colony, the *Malem*-class was an update to the *T'varo* by Romulan Republic engineers.

Slithus class

## SPACECRAFT CLASS

The ***Slithus*-class** was a type of spacecraft fielded by the Ferasan Clans in the early 25th century.

## History

### Design and construction

After the Battle of Earth and the defense of Qo'noS at the height of the Undine War, Caitian and Ferasan engineers worked together to develop heavily armed starships to aid in the defense of their own homeworlds and to assist the Alpha Quadrant Alliance in the war.

Both designs utilized Caitain stealth technologies, heavily updated since its development with the *Stalker*-class, and Ferasan railgun weaponry. The Caitain design was dubbed the *Shikaris*-class, while the Ferasan ship was named the *Slithus*-class. Both prototypes were completed and entered service in 2410. Six additional *Slithus*-class vessels were constructed, five of those being named for and serving as the flagship of the major clans.

Qorgh class

## SPACECRAFT CLASS

Orthographic views

The ***qorgh Segh*** or ***Qorgh*-class** was a type of spacecraft developed by the Klingon Defense Force in the late 24th century. It was the first of a new type based upon the *qISa'ruj may'Duj* or *K'saruj*-class.

## History

The name given to the new design, *qorgh*, was symbolic. Translated as "filling a hole" from tlhIngan Hol, the class was intended to fill a gap in the needs of the Imperial fleet.

## Derivatives

### *Pach*

The *Pach* variant, meaning "talon," was design to mimimize the resources used while still maintaining the abilities and firepower of the *Qorgh*-class. As such, the hull connector on the *Pach*-class was a series of stems that bound the fore and after hulls to one another.

Precator class

## SPACECRAFT CLASS

A Precator frigate with an Annorax-class

The ***Precator*-class** was a type of spacecraft fielded by the Krenim Imperium in the 24th and 25th centuries.

## History

As work moved forward with development of the large *Annorax*-class, Krenim engineers realized that small auxiliary craft would be needed to support the large vessels. A small team was assigned the task of designing a frigate that could be launched from the dreadnought and support it during a wide variety of tasks. The outcome was the *Precator*-class frigate.

## Technical information

The *Precator*-class was designed around the ability to strike fast and hard. As such, vessels of the class were equipped with two forward facing disruptor beam arrays, a rear facing disruptor beam array, and a single torpedo launcher.

Story:An End

Admiral Tval sat in his ready room. He thought. The screen in front of him still displayed the message that had come through from Vulcan. He stepped through the decision before him, weighing various data at each point along the way.

The Vulcan Unification Mission had originally set out as a means of building understanding with the Romulans but had shifted its focus following the establishment of New Romulus and renewal of cultural and diplomatic ties with their brothers and sisters of the Sundering. Their mission now had broadened. They strove for galactic unification through understanding of all species.

Tval reviewed in his mind the wars he had fought: Klingons, Dominion, Iconians... All necessary, but any war was too much war. He had watched many of his crewmates demonize the enemies they had faced. Yet, he had always been affected by those on the other side. Behind every enemy there had been individuals who fought for something they believed.

The Mission's goal was to find an understanding of the needs and purpose of all civilizations and to nurture leaders within them who could meet that goal in a manner that also served galactic peace. They were asking him to become their liaison for the newly explored reaches of the Shackleton Expanse beyond Klingon space. They hoped to establish it as an example of the possibility of true peace alongside exploration.

This was an unexpected decision to be faced with. He had initially been inclined to refuse the offer as it did not match his planned career course. However, having given it a more lengthy review, he was now less certain of that decision.

What was the purpose of his service in Starfleet? Entering the Academy, he had worked for a better galaxy and better life for all individuals of the Federation. As time passed, that had expanded to a better life for all life, for the galactic community of sentient and non-sentient life. He saw a balance and connection amongst all things. Was his position in Starfleet the way he would best serve that end?

A disquiet settled in him. A logic emerged in his thought that he had not been aware of before. It had always been there, but was only now gaining enough weight to become a conscious thought. He had gone off course. Like a starship with a minor miscalibration of its navigation array he had slowly drifted without realizing it.

Tval moved to the floor behind his desk, pressed his palms to the floor, and entered a state of Jam'tok to review and revise his logic. He found a fog in his mind; a fog from conflict. For some time he waded through the fog, slowly removing it as he found sources of it in his past: the loss of the *Galar*, the massacre of Talaxians by the Vaadwaur, the uncertainty of friend and foe set deep by the Changeling and Undine disguises, the loss of acquaintance and crew...

When he opened his eyes, he had found his way. As he drafted his retirement application, he found a deep sense of peace he had not realized he was missing.
