"Beth and Ella were still on starbase time, and hence were not sleeping. They had decided to explore the ship while their parents were talking and fighting, as usual. "I want to go see the shuttlebays." Beth said, stopping dead in her tracks in the hallway. "I'm tired of wandering around, all the hallways look the same." Ella gave her sister a look of long-suffering and thought for a second."

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.

""Take your time, seems like we have a few months before we'll be parting company. Thank you for looking for the films as well as telling me the story about my parents." Screwhead shrugged. "Peppie was ....... It was a different time then. Not better, not worse, just different." Franklin fell silent and pondered as he took the first step on the steel stairs."

"mispronouncing her name, =/\=you win. Am I right to assume that your transporters are being interrupted?=/\= With her empathic senses, Eva could tell that the alien commander had resigned himself to trying to work together. He now understood the situation a little better and who was holding the better hand."

One of Starfleet's premier starship construction and repair facilities, located in orbit of Mars.

"The two made there way through the corridors up to Jopek's office, Lee was speculating wildly about what had happened to Dario. Lee was just giving Taz his theory on a changling being the saboteur when they arrived at Jopek's office. Taz pressed the door bell and then heard "Enter," as the doors flung open. They both walked into the office and stood before the admirals desk."

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.
"In the galley, Terry opted to picked up the dish of the day, a strange lump of soft mush made of several different vegetables and meats. She sat down at the table and pushed the food separate with her fork. The food, however, seemed to be drawn together and melded back into a big lump. Concerned, Terry poked at the food a little more to make sure all of it was actually dead."
