Welcome aboard the USS Columbia!
2396. Starfleet finds itself at the transition of one century to the next. Intergalactic diplomacy remains one of Starfleet’s top priorities. The Federation is tasked with representing the interests of its member worlds further into space than ever before. Enter the Odyssey class starship USS Columbia. It represents Starfleet’s expectations for 25th century operation.
The Columbia and her crew will patrol the farthest edges of Alpha Quadrant space. Breen incursions have increased rapidly in the latter half of 2395. Attacks ranged from Melnos IV deep out to Decos Prime. Starfleet expects the Columbia’s presence on the edges of the Alpha Quadrant will impact Breen aggression. The crew will regularly interact with groups like the Lurians, Cardassians and Ferengi.
Exploration is another vital role of the Columbia. The ship includes a team of colonization specialists actively in search of suitable worlds. The team stands ready to disembark and immediately settle a wide variety of climates. Powerful sensors and an extensive array of science laboratories ensure the ship is prepared for the galaxy’s many mysteries.

"Columbia we have a problem." Jason said as he looked at the readings on his tricorder.
"What is it?" Zera asked simply as she looked down at her own tricorder.

The Columbia was well en route to Vulcan, cruising at a steady warp eight. Zera was on watch, sitting in the center chair. There wasn't much happening on the bridge, in fact it was fairly boring. The ship's Exec was using this time to read through reports from the ship's…

Commander Zera Tirado was not a woman to be crossed. She stood with her arms crossed looking out at the Starship Columbia through the large viewport. The ship did indeed look impressive, but in her opinion she didn't understand why Starfleet insisted…

"Lieutenant junior-grade, Pharos Ventari, Personal log."
A heavy sigh as the Rechakan rested his forehead on the desk, before continuing, sounding slightly muffled.
"I made it. Two transports, a shuttle, and a two hundred year old warp sled that should have been decommissioned a century ago; two hundred and twelve…
