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.

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.
"The gamma shift was nearly over and Javins could tell that there was life starting to come back to the ship in preperation for Alpha shift. For the communications officer this really is usually a quiet time. As usual, something always happens. =^=This is Ensign Jason Dema to the USS Nimitz, I just left earth's orbit"

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.
""Thank you Sir, I am my Fathers daughter in the head strong sense. I do ask one thing only Sir", said Ensign Smithson. The Captain raised an eyebrow quizzically. "And what would that be Ensign?", he asked. "I ask only that I be treated as the rest of the crew", said the new arrival, before then going on to explain her reasons for thinking that perhaps she would not be."
— Cry Havok and Let Slip the Dogs of War, USS Spectre, 2011
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.
""Last time I was on EVA was to counsel a suicidal marine to not blow up the repair platform. Mysterious dead bodies and talking shipmates through claustrophobic attacks seem much more within my realm of abilities." Archibald raised an eyebrow. "Suicidal marine?" he asked, followed by: "Repair platform? That seems to have escaped my attention when I was going through your file. I will look it up."

USS Boudicca ⚔
One of the original ships assigned to the 52nd Fleet. During the Federation Civil War, successfully breached the defenses of Starbase Valhalla, bringing down the defense stations and contributing to the 52nd Fleet's victory.
"Start of Compile Sasha stood looking at his reflection in the mirror. He straightened the bowtie on his tuxedo for the tenth time, and again wondered why anyone ever bothered with these things. He hadn't been this nervous in some time. He'd felt similar just before his first dinner with Eva, but that had been more of a chance to get to know each other better."
— To Live and Die in Starlight, Day -6 - 1, USS Boudicca, 2019
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.
""Chief, shall I put together a repair team?" she asked. "That would be great Ensign. Please see to it immediately," Matrix was wheeling from the meeting. "Right away sir. May I lead the team or do you want to join the fun "I think I'd like to join in the fun Ensign." Matrix smiled and"

USS Champlain ⚔
Destroyed during the Battle for the Mars Defense Perimeter in 2407, along with the USS Nimitz. The loss of life was horrendous, but the 52nd Fleet was ultimately victorious.
"=^=Engineering to Bridge.=^= came Ensign Suvik-Bertorelli's voice over bridge comms, T'Larah looked to Bree who was quite busy with other matters and Lt. Janeway was on an away mission, that left her next to handle it. "Engineering this is Lieutenant Sullivan, is there something I can help you with?" she inquired in a calm voice."
— Beyond Vengeance, USS Champlain, 2021
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.
"Supernatural Day 3 "Err ..yes Sir i was,There were some important repairs, i had to make sure.Sir " Ash said Nymes sighed inwardly. ~why does every none medic think that because I let them out of sickbay, that they can go and do what they used to do"
— Supernatural, USS Dennison, 2021
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.
""The ship is in excellent shape captain. The Dock Chief has been working closely with our engineering department and the reports indicate that all warp and impulse systems are operational. " "There have been a few minor fluctuations in the power relays throughout the lower decks, but Engineering says that they should be able to track down the last of the glitches within the next hour."
— Into the Darkness, Go I, USS Rosenante, 2021
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.
"Besides leaveing Alex so many years before, the death of his only wife, leaveing Rose was the hardest thing he had done. It seemed to him that she pulled on him even though they were so far apart. Every time he went to bed he smelled her and when he awoke each morning he expected her to be there in the bed with him. Her wonderful essence was there but she wasnt and he had"

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.
"The meeting was ended and Remae was heading back to his ship to prepare for tomorrow's departure. before he walked out the large room, he was intercepted "I would like to come, sir. I don't get to fly that much on the station...", he said with a strange smile. "Sure thing Ensign, come on board by 0700 tomorrow, that's when we'll be departing," nodded Remae, as he headed out the door."

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.
"Fugan sat infront of the libary retrival terminal at the rear of the bridge, content to merely monitor events around him, after all his role was to inform and advise the Commanding officers and he could perfrom that task if he did not know the relevant information, unfortunately neither Francis Drake nor the Scorpion appeared to be mentioned within the Cochrane's"

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.

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.
"“ Yes. Plus we should also look into the theft from science also. They could be tied together or a red herring to throw us off the scent.” Stan said. Sytuk looked at him, a confused look on his face . " What is a red herring ?" “ It’s an old name for something put in to miss direct an investigation. I have no idea why or what is a red herring. But anyway we should look into this robbery."

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 watched as Syuvik and Matrix discussed the current situation of the Soval and her crew. The two were his friends as well as his superiors. It was rare they disagreed in front of the crew. But this was important and needed to be addressed. Lt. Brown spoke up. Tom spoke his piece at last. "I agree with all of you."
— 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.
""Bring us around for another pass, keep firing.", said the Vulcan, impassively as possible during the current crisis. "Shields down to 35 percent.", reported Jacobs at OPS; Jopek looked at Another shower of sparks rained down on the Bridge. "Come about to 135 mark 215, arm the photons and set dispersal pattern"

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.
"the computer's voice ended. Tanya put the phaser down. "Ok, so like can we do something challenging now? This level seven has been getting old every single day... it's starting to get easy!" She said. Lee raised an eyebrow, and considered the phaser before him for a moment. "alright then Ms Dervin, lets see just what you have."

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.
