USS Gannicus
The USS Gannicus represents a refined take on the Sovereign-class line. Its design combined decades of Advanced Starship Design Bureau research into a sleeker, more tolerant warp-field profile capable of higher cruising velocities. Following the Borg incident, production timelines were accelerated from a projected 10-year build cycle to roughly five years, making the Gannicus a key example of rapid-response Starfleet engineering. Archive compiles span from 2006 through 2016, including the AWLSHGA, A Day on the Job, and Good Intentions series.
"Ryan made his way to the side of the room with four misaligned relays and began to apply force to one of them. The metallic cylindrical relay would not budge at first attempt but with his determination coupled with his malice for things not going the way he planned the first relay finally moved into place."
— A Day on the Job, USS Gannicus, 2021
USS Nimitz ⚔
The Nimitz challenged Admiral Doenitz after a month-long disappearance from official channels. She later survived Romulan and Tal Shiar ambushes to return to Geneva. Destroyed during the Battle for the Mars Defense Perimeter in 2407, along with USS Champlain.
"As Kestra was headed toward the Bridge to have little .... talk .... with Vanyass, she suddenly got a call in her mind. It was almost like a scream as she picked it up as though the person was standing right next to her screaming in her ear. ::Kestra?:: Vanyssa projected. ::Kestra, can you hear me?::"

USS Spectre ⚔
Developed at Earth Station McKinley, the Spectre utilizes a variant of the phasing cloak technology originally used on the USS Pegasus. The lead ship of her class, commanded by Captain Remae K'Tell (later Admiral Ktell). An alternate-universe Spectre appeared near Earth in 2405, its crew eventually assigned to Starbase Valhalla.

USS Wraith ⚔
A sister ship of the USS Spectre and the 2nd Spectre-class ship to be launched. The USS Wraith participated in the Battle for Sector 001 at the end of the Federation Civil War. The vessel was commonly assigned intelligence gathering missions due to its phased-cloak device. Last commanded by Captain Jana Bell, who had close ties with Captain Remae K'Tell.
USS Mithrandir ⚔
Attacked during a diplomatic mission in 2406. Her crew was offloaded but later regained control of the vessel to limp back to Geneva with heavy casualties. Later replaced by USS Mithrandir-A.
"Sanok carefully observed and listened as Colonel Reville spoke. There were ways to discern the truth about someone, Reville said, "So far, our interrogations have discovered that it was actually a civilian who is responsible for the young girl's death. The unknown perpetrator had wrenched a weapon from a militiaman, causing it to fire accidentally."

USS Paladin ⚔
Appeared through an unstable wormhole from an alternate universe in 2405. Commanded by Captain Eva Straton from a universe just after the Dominion Wars. During the Civil War, attacked and seized the Gamma Sigma System and Starbase 234, successfully repelling an invasion force at Beta Aquari III.

USS Dennison
All but destroyed by what is believed to be a rogue SFI vessel in 2408. The ship was mothballed pending repairs and her crew was reassigned to the Nova-class USS Mithrandir-A.
"Ben looked up as he heard the door open and footsteps approaching, it was Lanista. They had served together on the Dennison and the Mithrandir for a while, then they had both been ensigns. Things had changed over the past few years, he was now a Lieutenant Commander and the FO of the Rosenante. Lanista was a Lieutenant and the new CSO rather then an ACEO."
— Veil of the Sky, USS Dennison, 2012
USS Rosenante ⚔
A controversial privateer ship designed under the Chimera Directive for the Doenitz regime. Represents one of the darkest chapters of the civil war period, involving ships specifically designed to operate outside normal Starfleet regulations.
""First remove the collar and release me from the chair, then we can have a pleasant conversation for as long as you'd like," said Diara. "Because I won't deal with monsters; it's against my principles. If you want to talk, then we do so on as even footing as possible. You'll get more information that way and it will be of higher quality to boot."

Starbase Geneva
Completed and commissioned in 2405, serving as the headquarters for the 52nd Fleet. Located at a terminus of the Subspace River in the Beta Quadrant. Abandoned and destroyed when the new Starbase Geneva was completed.
"The Captain smiled, "We should have lunch sometime. I always enjoy being directly exposed to new cultures and philosophies. I'd really like to learn more about Denobula and her wonderful people. But I'm afraid that I have another pressing appointment at the moment, so if you have no other questions, or concerns, I'd like to ask you to carry on with your assignment."

Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards ⚔
One of Starfleet's premier starship construction and repair facilities, located in orbit of Mars. This major shipyard has been responsible for the construction of numerous iconic starships throughout Starfleet's history. The facility played a crucial role during the Federation Civil War and continues to serve as a vital center for fleet operations.
""No. We can consider the evaluation concluded." Percival nodded when the Counsellor smiled. "But, now, back for a moment to the upcoming social event. I want to make clear that I haven't made a firm decision about the luau. It was something that occurred to me. But I'm certainly open to other suggestions. I haven't given any particulars to Admiral Jopek yet."

USS Cochrane
The Cochrane Research Facility was later transferred to a Meredith Class Starship, which was renamed USS Cochrane. The facility first discovered the Subspace River phenomenon before the transfer.

USS Illuminar
The USS Illuminar stands as one of the most prolific vessels in the archive with 109 documented compiles spanning 25 months of continuous deep space operations (2420-2422). The ship confronted phenomena ranging from Q entities to mirror universe incursions to the philosophical mysteries of "The Uncaring Stars." Her crew's encounters with corruption, parallel realities, and existential threats demonstrated exceptional scientific and tactical capabilities. The Illuminar's final mission, "An End and A Beginning," marked not just her decommissioning but the close of an era of intensive scientific exploration.
"Illuminar Compile 25 Dates: December 4th, 2020 - Ensign Keung Lee was updating his PADD in the gym for the start of a new regular compulsory physical training programme. combat and weapons training program for the crew. Keung was going to observe the first session conducted There were twenty participants altogether."

USS Exeter
A workhorse of the reconstruction era, the USS Exeter compiled an impressive record with 75 documented missions over 14 months of continuous operation (2420-2421). The ship's investigative prowess was demonstrated during the famous "Murder on the Exeter Express" case - a six-month operation spanning 24 compiles that became legendary in Starfleet Academy case studies. The Exeter also handled dimensional crossover incidents and pursued zealots in "The Flames of Purity" mission, showcasing versatility across investigation, first contact, and tactical scenarios.
"He was back in his quarters again along with the Admiral Aid who was anything but happy. “So, Lieutenant explain to me how a simple recovery mission ended going so badly. You were supposed to extract Alice in one peace not full of phaser holes.” “Sir you did say dead or alive.” “Don`t split hairs with me. You know who she is and how valuable she is."

USS Soval
A vessel that confronted difficult moral choices during the rebuilding period. The Soval's year-long "Lesser Evil" mission (2414-2415) represented one of the fleet's most challenging ethical operations in the post-civil war era. With 22 documented compiles spanning multiple years, the ship maintained consistent operations through complex moral and tactical scenarios, demonstrating the kind of nuanced decision-making required during the Federation's reconstruction period.
"Taylor was now facing the inevitability of having to rely almost entirely on Andersen to carry out her mission. Most of her life, she had been accustomed to work with humans and developed a bit of respect for them. But all this went into shatter. She never liked to call an entire specie as being X"

USS Mystique ⚔
An enigmatic vessel that operated during the tense pre-civil war period of 2406. The Mystique's intensive operational tempo is evidenced by 37 compiles in a single year, including the cryptic "All We Like Sheep Have Gone Astray" mission arc and mysterious "Harvest" operations that produced four compiles in a single day. The ship's name proved prophetic, as its missions often involved operations requiring discretion and specialized crew capabilities, including Betazoid telepaths who could navigate the complex political landscape of the era.
"Ensign Conners was scanning the Mystique as ordered from the shuttle when a call came in over the wide band monitoring scanner they were using. There were trapped crewmen needing help to get to sick bay. =/\=This is Ensign Conners to LT Kesswick and Ensign Psysioc. I am out side with Ensign Rysic in a shuttle and can beam you to sickbay .=/\= He continued scanning while waiting for a response."

USS Firebrande
One of the original vessels of the 52nd Fleet, the Firebrande served during the early integration period when the fleet was still establishing its multi-species operational doctrine. The ship's diverse crew roster included Klingon warriors from noble houses serving alongside Betazoid empaths and Human officers - a microcosm of the Federation's inclusive ideals. Though complete mission records have been lost to time, personnel files suggest the Firebrande specialized in cultural exchange and first contact scenarios where its unique crew composition proved invaluable.
""Sir, I think we might need validation from someone known in this universe.", said Commander Lee, busily contacting Starfleet Command. bartender or a starship's chief of Security, I've both memories in my He made a pause and added, "Concerning those Kalmorose, when I was in Ferenginar I remember that some traders had spoken about aliens who were"

USS Shenandoah
A ghost ship of the archives, the USS Shenandoah exists in fleet records but her complete operational history has been lost to time. Named for the historic Shenandoah Valley, she likely served during the 52nd Fleet's earliest days before digital record-keeping became standard practice. What we know is limited to personnel records and the simple fact that she existed, served, and was eventually retired. Like the valley for which she was named, the Shenandoah represents a quiet strength - ships that did their duty without fanfare, whose crews wrote history in actions rather than words.
