The Headquarters of the KRIMA Expeditionary Force, DS13 is a large administrative, repair and commercial center in orbit around Iotia, along the Gorn/Tholian frontier. Many quality shops and restaurants fill its Promenade...as well as some not-so-upstanding locales. Located in orbit around Iotia, it is truly a place where one can find just about anything he/she desired.
CIRCE, the class ship of the revolutionary CIRCE-class battlecruiser (predecessor of the BASTION-class command battlecruiser), is the command ship of Tactical Squadron 13, and is escorted by the light cruisers USS OSIRIS and USS ANUBIS, the destroyer escort USS MANCHESTER, and the surveyor USS SHENZHOU. She was launched 8 years ago; in that time, she has traversed some of the most dangerous territories in KRIMA, like the Romulan frontier, Orestes Sector, and the Tybiiran Corridor, to name a few.
CIRCE is commanded by the highly-decorated Captain Cayle Veld (played by Scott Lusby)
The brand-new ARIZONA-class command battle cruiser SERAPIS-A is the flagship of the KRIMA Expeditionary Force, the mobile command platform of the COMKRIMAXFOR.
The SPARTICUS has been added to the KRIMA forces in order to present an effective deterrent to the rampant piracy in the region, thereby leaving the larger units of KRIMA to handle the more conventional tasks of patrol and exploration.
