What follows is the Standing Orders for the USS Challenger.

Standing Orders for the U.S.S. Challenger (NCC-2032)

The primary role of the Challenger in the Mendovi Sector is to map and catalogue stellar anomalies and features within the sector. This sector is largely uncharted, and as Klingon and Romulan presence ramps up in this sector, it is believed that detailed starcharts are vital for Starfleet’s operational capacity in this region.

The Challenger’s secondary role in this sector is to be a support ship for the sector command ship, the USS Orion (galaxy class), who is tasked with conducting diplomatic and trade missions with the inhabitants of this sector. Due to the factional nature of the Mendovian sphere, and the presence of multiple warp capable species that we have yet to make first contact with, it may fall to your ship to initiate some of these missions. Simply put, the Orion can’t be everywhere at once.

And finally, due to the dangerous nature of the sector, you may be called upon to escort the USS Cochran (Oberth Class) on scientific missions that your ship may not be specialized enough to handle.

As always, let the Prime Directive guide you in your decisions.
