USS Babylon (NCC-82254)

These are the voyages of the USS Babylon. Its ongoing mission: to explore ruined worlds; to seek out remnants of life and lost civilizations; to trepidatiously go where the dead have walked before.

USS Babylon

Grissom-class • NCC-82254 • Task Force 17 • Managed by CAPT Khim Samnang

USS Babylon is a Grissom-class surveyor assigned to Task Force 17 under the command of Captain Sanjiv Anand. Ostensibly intended for deep space mapping assignments, the Babylon’s primary mission is to follow up on reports of extinct civilizations on the edge of Federation space and determine if further study of these locations would be safe and ethical.

The blue dusk ran between the streets; my love was winged within my mind;
It left to-day and yesterday and thrice a thousand years behind.
To-day was past and dead for me for from to-day my feet had run
Through thrice a thousand years to walk the ways of ancient Babylon.
On temple top and palace roof the burnished gold flung back the rays
Of a red sunset that was dead and lost beyond a million days.

Oh, light our life in Babylon, but Babylon has taken wings,
While we are in the calm and proud procession of eternal things.

– ‘Babylon’ by George William Russell

Lieutenant Elara Roslin didn’t expect to be working on leave—but she couldn’t help herself. Casperia’s southern coastline was home to a cluster of independent fishing villages, culturally rich but politically strained. Tensions between native Casperians and newer Federation migrants had [...]

La’an Hanes didn’t relax easily. When her commanding officer insisted she take time off, she argued. When the order was made non-negotiable, she stewed. Now she stood at the edge of a crystalline pool atop Casperia’s highlands, arms crossed, surrounded by wellness tourists breathing deeply [...]

Katie Harlow didn’t need the noise. The clamor of beaches, the rush of games, the pulse of parties — none of it suited her. When granted shore leave, she requested something quiet. The resort staff called it “The Sanctuary.” A windswept bluff high above the ocean, with nothing but open sky, [...]
