USS Ranger
More actions
The USS Ranger (NCC-74658) is an Intrepid-class light explorer assigned to the Fourth Fleet under the command of Captain Gus Tycho.
As a part of Sirius Squadron's Memphis Division, the unit charged with operational analysis and long-term research, Ranger acts as a forward scout and information-gathering platform. Where other ships of the division conduct in-depth scientific study of regions and phenomena, sometimes as a follow-up to the wider squadron’s exploratory missions, Ranger engages in reconnaissance operations. To the squadron, she supplies insight into local space and activity to guide exploration and humanitarian operations; to the division, she scopes out opportunities for more detailed research and assesses for potential danger.
Alongside other ships, she identifies key locations for study or scopes out possible threats. Alone, she relies on her speed and versatility to conduct initial surveys of areas and locations, or contributes to survey operations of under-explored regions within or near to Federation space.
