USS Kirk (NCC-89951) is a Shran-class Federation starship currently assigned to Fourth Fleet's Task Force 72. Under the command of Lieutenant Commander Lane Hanley, the Kirk is tasked with an ongoing mission of border patrol and interdiction along the former Demilitarized Zone and the space around the Bajoran Wormhole.
The second starship to bear the name of one of Starfleet's most mercurial and divisive Admiral's, the ships motto is derived from a famous quote from the legendary James T Kirk, "Risk is our business. That's what this starship is all about. That's why we’re aboard her." and Hanley and her crew often find themselves in harms way as the vessel defends the bounds of the Federation through customs and anti - piracy cruises. The constant threat of both the True Way and the New Marquis only adds further complication to a UFP that has been sorely tested during recent crises such as Frontier Day and the invasion by the Vaadwaur Supremacy, yet still the crew of the Kirk stand the 'Thin Blue Line'.
