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

Catch and Release, Part 2

Intermezzo

USS Babylon

Bohkat wasn’t sure if he liked sushi. He’d had it one time, and had little recollection of it. That meant, at least, that it probably wasn’t horrible. He gazed longingly at the bar on one side of the dim restaurant, where they might have all sat side-by-side and watched the chefs work instead [...]

Intermezzo

USS Babylon

“They’re installing the new equipment for labs one through three over the next three days, but then we’ll have to carry on to DS17 for labs four through six…” Bohkat found himself automatically nodding in acknowledgement of Anand’s words, even as the other man’s voice grew more [...]

Like Falling Into a River

USS Babylon

Ixabi was first through the door and went straight to the transporter controls. With a nod from Anand, she locked onto the Hamsarai trio and beamed them over. Even as they were still shimmering into solid form, she could see that they were about her height while standing up on their four hind [...]

Like Falling Into a River

USS Babylon

Ixabi leaned away from the operations console and rubbed her eyes with a weary sigh. Her brain was outright refusing to read the Starfleet report on the Hamsarai that she’d covertly opened on her screen. Maybe nineteen times was enough? Maybe staying up late to re-re-re-read it last night was [...]
