Echelon-class • NCC-97407 • Astute Light Cruiser Division • Task Force 72 • Managed by CAPT Trevenan Williams

The price of conflict is peace.

Tasked with assisting the survivors of the Nightfall Incursion rebuild what was taken by the Vaadwaur, Task Force 72 has assigned the USS Astute to pioneer reconstruction and relief operations throughout the former Demilitarized Zone.

The assignment of an Echelon – class vessel to lead the Astute Light – Cruiser Division speaks volumes about the instability inherent to the region since the Vaadwaur withdrawal. Not only did the incursion come at a time when Starfleet was at its lowest ebb and tenuous allies such as the Cardassian Union already much weakened, the resultant power – vacuum requires a ship equally at ease in patrolling the frontier as it is providing humanitarian aid.

Never has the motto of the USS Astute been more pressing or relevant;

“Consilium et Prudentia”

(By Council and Prudence).

Astute Light Cruiser Division

Formed in the wake of the Nightfall Incursion into the Alpha & Beta Quadrants by the forces of the Vaadwaur Supremacy, Task Force 72 assigned the Echelon – class Light Cruiser, USS Astute to head up a Rapid Reaction Division along with the Prometheus – class Heavy Escort, USS Athena.

Together the deployment of both vessels enable Fourth Fleet to maintain patrol duties along the former DMZ and aid in the recovery operations to the many worlds devastated by the Vaadwaur invaders via the USS Astute, whilst the more martially – capable USS Athena stands ready to investigate and respond-in-force to any further incursion into Federation – space, as Starfleet seeks to heal the lasting wounds of conflict.
