Part of the Twelve Trials of Triskellion Ficlet Challenge.

SHEPHERD’S REACH

SIXTH CUTTER SQUADRON

The creed of the Border Patrol Service is a simple one:

To save lives. To protect borders. To hold the line.

On the frontier, on the edge of Federation space, stands guard a series of stations and outposts charged with keeping a watchful vigil to be an ever vigilant sentinel. The first line of defence ...

Seven ficlets depicting life on a Space Station Relay Outpost for a newly appointed Lt. Commander. Outpost Shepherd's Reach, the farthest flung and unimportant outpost serving Star Station Hope is not the place of dreams. But it is where one Lt. Commander will make or break her career.

The collected stories of the starship Aegolius Harrier. A down on its luck ship and crew are assigned to the newly formed Eleventh Fleet. Its mission is to assist and aid the Cardassian recovery in the wake of the Dominion War. But political strife, danger and difficult challenges lie ahead and a new captain, a former Cardassian prisoner of war, must lead her divided crew to overcome whatever obstacles lie in their way.

A run of the mill bounty turns lethal for bounty hunter Beatrix Eliza Knight, known as Beks. Beks and her crew face off against a lethal assassin and the cost will be high and change lives forever.

A story set in the 11th Fleet Universe.

The USS Kestrel, an aging Miranda class, serving as part of the Border Service has the thankless task of patrolling some of the murkier corners of the Federation. As the seat of Federation power in a dangerous and wild region of space, the Kestrel acts to paraphrase her firebrand captain, Captain Gregory McGregor, as the rule and the law, the line in the sand, the first and last line of defense for the Federation.

"So we can't be calling in the cavalry at the drop of a hat. We are the cavalry. We stand the line, we duke it out, we shout them down, we clean their windscreens, and we set out the welcome mat. It's not all bad you know."

This is the first story featuring the ramshackle, rough and ready crew of the Kestrel. I'd call them an unorthodox crew but hey isn't every crew unorthodox in their own way!

Led by the acerbic, sarcastic, bombastic, over the top, pain-in-the-ass, coarse and unprofessional Captain Gregory McGregor. Just the type of behaviour to get stuff on the border done! There's no time for Jean-Luc's niceties here!

The Border Dogs might be seen as the ‘poor cousins' of the Fleet and the Miranda might be seen as the ‘Ford pick-up of Starfleet' but the Kestrel in the humble opinion of her Captain shows the Fleeters how to do things the proper way.
