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.
""Its ok, come on up," Lt. Nicolae said patting the space on the bio bed besides him. Zzt looked around the room briefly before moving to sit down next to Lt. Nicolae. Zzt wiggled his toe claws aimlessly as he looked at Nicolae and the sensor panel behind the bed. Zzt took a deep breath and then bared his fangs in an approximation of a smile as he looked down at Nicolae. "We done soon?"

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.
"When Sash saw Nessa come into the room, he could feel himself flush a little. He was happy that she had been able to delay their departure so that they could have some time together. He was even more relieved when Cithy had excused herself. That relief continued when he saw that she didn't immediately leave, and someone else did ask her to dance. He was"

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.
"Morgan was finishing a diagnostic on the computer core, just wanting to make sure everything was as it should be. He was still getting used to the differences between the Dennison and the Mithrandir and there were quite a few, he speculated that you could put a dozen Nova class ships like the Mithrandir into the Dennison and still have a little room left over."

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.
"Peter knew Matrix was in the staff briefing so he took the time to review ships status and to work on his special project. "Computer, main console, load Alpha 34- Cohen Alpha 3, authorization Cohen omega three three one." said Peter as he sat back and waited for the computer to finish the simulation load."

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.
"START OF COMPILE: "I may be officially a soldier, sir, But i expect to never be called one again. I am a person. Not a machine to be molded to how you want it. And with all due respect, SIR, i was looking out for myself. I have known Trace for years and was making sure that she did not interfere so that my health"

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.
"Captain's Log, supplemental. Stardate 2413.11.14 =^= Matrix to Rosenante, 60 seconds and my away team should be in place and ready for beam out. Nunez and Smith are making there way to the extraction point now. Data has been relayed. Please advise. =^= Matrix has been trying to contact the Rosenante for some time now without any success."

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.
"Geneva Mission: Inalienable Rights, Day 10 "That will pass, son. You - you fell and hit your head. But the nice people in Sickbay fixed you up. I'm glad to see you're better, son. Do what your mother and the nice doctor tell you to do, OK? I'll look in to you a bit later on." Aragorn shot Louise a glance, sighed, and straightened his back. "I'll be back later, kiddo, I promise. A Vegan promise."

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.
"~Please Lord, tell me I'm dead and this headache was me flying face first into the pearly gates...~ "Commander Lee, how are you feeling now?" Rich groaned again, and opened his eyes. "Gaah, lights..." he blinked a couple times, then decided to leave his eyes closed. "What the hell happened?" he asked to no one in particular, "And why is it I feel like I just got hit in the head?"

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.
"“From your point of view, how do you feel?” “My arm is sore, but my leg is rather painful. How long have I been here?” “Well, let me ask this…” Quinna tested, “What do you last remember?” “The last thing I remember was an explosion and being hurled into a bulkhead…then I sat up and tried to get my bearings…say my leg twisted then now here.” Said Matrix."

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.
"Ravok sat there in his chair staring across his desk at Greta, his elbows resting on the arm of his chair and his hands folded together. He twisted his chair side to side slightly. Not saying a word just staring at her. ~why do I feel like I am about to get told off? He has that look of a teacher who just caught students sneaking out.~ she thought to herself. " Lieutenant Smith."

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.
"Tom listened to the exchange between Syuvik and Steve Matrix closely. "Lieutenant Signos, Commander Jackson, the safety of the ship is your priority to monitor. What is the status of the ship. Are we in safe enough environment to start conduct analysis?" Syuvik asked. Tom thought for a moment. He looked at Ensign Signos and nodded to indicate to her to report."
— The Lesser Evil, USS Soval, 2015
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.
"As everyone else filed out of the lounge Marto was sitting, working out in her head, the department briefing she would need to hold to inform everyone about the upcoming move to the new ship. She made a note on her padd to remind herself to contact Dr Mias to arrange a suitable time for the briefing and was wondering when the FO would allow her team to start transferring over when Travis sat down..."

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.
"Remae was enjoying a nice cup of tea when. "I'm sorry to disturb you captain but I wanted to thank you again, it's a real chance for me to be in Starfleet again." Remae looked up and it was the new Assistant Security Officer. "Have a seat, please, call me Remae, Rick." For a moment, the Bajoran took another sip of tea and then said."

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.
