Starbase 51 is the Operational Headquarters of the USS Tomcat, Among the Stations being Space Spacedock Class, it can build ships, but at a slower rate than that of Utopia Planitia and the largest ship it can build class-wise is an Achilles Class, and the Akira Class, the Station is currently automated but it can accommodate a standard staff and Support Departments.
The USS Tomcat is an Akira Class ship, with a slight difference, while its armaments and defences remain standard to some extent its evacuation capacity has been lowered to account for the extra fighter squadrons and Marines. The ship is commanded by an EX-Marine turned Fleet Officer Commander Jasmine Somers, her missions are different from other standard missions due to the load-out and set-up of her crew and equipment.
Currently, the USS Tomcats Area of Operations is in the Alpha/Beta Quadrants and the Mira Sector, where all members of Starfleet crews have to contend with the chaos in the aftermath of the Hobus incident, which destroyed Romulus and Remus. The Year is now 2395 and there are effectively two Romulan Empires, one being the "old Guard" Romulan Empire Led by an as yet unknown Romulan Praetor and the Romulan Republic who wish to go back to simpler times when there was no Tal'Shiar, this Empire has been trying to mend fences with all Alpha and Beta Quadrant Races and their Reman Brothers and Sisters. Amid all this there is the usual intrigue and machinations of the various Empires, the Federation/Klingon Alliance is stronger than ever and both these Allies have stronger ties with the Romulan Republic and the Cardassian Republic. As with all major events and downfalls of Empires, other organizations rise to fill the void, this is clear with the Orion's leaving their space and venturing into Federation Alliance Space and the space of the other Empires and kidnapping different people from all the Alpha and Beta Quadrants Species.
Any Klingon Captured are placed in a combat area for the Orions to have their bloodsport, but amid all this, there are Orions that obey the treaties set out and do not venture outside of Orion space, so telling the honest ones from the Pirates is hard. There are now also Rogue elements of both Tal'Shiar and Section 31 working together, for some reason two otherwise warring Intelligence Agencies have found a common cause, while what is known is what is known, the is always a deeper reason as to why there is such an Alliance, but Commander Somers is well aware that events in the Hydaransz System are far from completed and sooner or later they will be set back into the system to bring it fully under Starfleet's control and rid it of undesirables.
The Tomcat has a reduced Evac capacity to make room for the extra Squadron and extra marines. Unlike larger troop carriers the Tomcat does not carry heavy weapons like hover tanks and APCs. The largest vehicle assigned to the Marines on the Tomcat is armoured troop shuttles with hand weapons, spatial grenades and explosives plus some handheld Phaser auto-cannons. The Marine contingent on the Tomcat are from the 95th Rifles; while the majority are regular marines in the 95th Rifle Regiment 12 who wear the white cord of courage. These marines are the Elite members of the 467 Marines attached to the ship.
The ship has 3 fighter Squadrons of Typhon Class fighters 1 x Venture class ship that can be fitted with a cloaking device. The ship retains its standard complement of weapons and defences, its three fighter squadrons rotate when CAP (Combat Air Patrol) duty is required, and there is the 100th Sqn whose callsign is RAIDER and is a Marine Unit. The 101st whose callsign is REBELS is a Fleet Air Arm Squadron and the 102nd Fighter Squadron's callsign is REDs due to it being a Klingon Squadron.
So come join the Tomcat Crew as they head out to the less explored regions of Federation Space in an attempt to stop the Orion Pirate Slavers and both rogue Intelligence Agencies and all the different threats that are out there to the Federation.
THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES..........
