Fleet Mission
Formed in 2402, Vanguard Squadron's primary mission has been one of deep-space exploration. Over the years it's role has evolved, expanding to include diplomacy, first contact, interdiction, colonization, tactical support, search and rescue, and intelligence-gathering.
Area of Operations
Vanguard Fleet operates primarily in the Alpha Quadrant, from the spinward side of Sol Sector (home to the Sol/Terran system and Federation headquarters) to the Bajoran Sector (home to the Bajoran system), and the nearby borders the Federation shares with the Cardassian Union, the Klingon Empire, and the Ferengi Alliance. Via the Bajoran Wormhole, Vanguard Fleet is also charged with maintaining the first stable Federation presence in the Gamma Quadrant as established by the Federation and Dominion co-signed Treaty of Bajor, patroling and exploring a region of space of over 30,000 light-years. |

Saucer SeparationAn emergency maneuver performed by Galaxy class starships in which the saucer module separates from the remainder of the spacecraft. Saucer separation is generally employed so that the saucer module, containing most of the crew, can remain behind so that the stardrive section, containing the ship's warp drive, can go into battle or other hazardous situations. | | | |
