Background
The USS Bluefin is an Albacore -class cutter attached to the Star Fleet 7th Border Service squadron based at Star Station Echo. The Bluefinwas launched and commissioned in 2306 at the Andor Ship Yards. She received a major refit in 2348 and her impulse engines were uprated in 2375. Bluefin lacks some of the amenities of more modern vessels such as holodecks and replicators. The cutter has a crew complement of 120 and a top speed of warp 9.2.

The Bluefin saw extensive service during the Cardassian wars of the 2350's and the Dominion War as an escort vessel. Her primary mission with the Border Service is search & rescue, interdiction, and defense. Captain Joseph B. Akinola has served as her commanding officer for over ten years. Bluefin primarily patrols the Borderland region where Federation, Klingon and Orion space come together. Due to the instability following the Dominion War, she is often called upon for escort and SAR missions far from her normal patrol area.

The Star Fleet Border Service performs a similar role as the modern day U.S. Coast Guard. Semper Paratus!
