Federation Starship

Starship Repulse

The Starship Repulse emerges as Captain Taggert's Federation command—a vessel steeped in Starfleet efficiency and personal history. Its corridors echo with the imprint of Dr. Pulaski's tenure as Chief Medical Officer, marked by her notorious transporter aversion that left administrative scars in purged records. The ship's structural precision carries the weight of institutional secrets, its sterile bulkheads having witnessed Pulaski's professional clashes and unexpected admiration for Captain Picard. Through subspace transmissions, Repulse's bridge looms as a ghost of bureaucratic caution, its viewscreen casting cobalt shadows across Picard's ready room as past tensions transmit across the light-years. This starship exists both as physical spacecraft and psychological anchor point—the origin of personnel transfers that carry unspoken institutional baggage into the Enterprise's present crises.
