Admiral Aires stood on the lower part of the bridge of the USS Challenger, a Tactical Odyssey Class ship. The Odyssey class was the premier class of ship for the Federation and is the pinnacle of the Federation's ship building talents. It is a highly versitle class as shown with the three variants of it. It can be fit for Exploration and Research, and when needed can be refitted for war. The Admiral stood at parade rest, shoulders spaced arms length apart and his hands held behind his back. He stared out into the empty void of space which surrounded his ship, gazing at the stars.

Admiral James Tetra Aires was a human born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina. And the last name is no coincidence, his family was named after the city. He rose through the Commisioned ranks of Starfleet quickly during the Klingon and Romulan conflicts. By the time the renewed Borg threat had past and the Breen decided to show their ugly heads he was already a Vice Admiral. Although, he is quite young to be an admiral. Only in his mid twenties. It just goes to show how far education has gone in the 24th Century.

While a standardized intergalactic currency has been established, Energy Credits, the need for lots of financial growth and the furtherment of a persons financial assets has remained relatively dormant for the galactic community. Many scholars preach and argue that now the beauty in this society is that now people shouldn't be too concerned with how much wealth they have, they should be concerned with how they morally live life and how they can morally improve themselves and others.

Aires was now part of Starfleet Medical Command's fleet [MEDCOMM] as one of its main support ships and escorts for the more support and defense oriented medical ships and transports.

"Mr. Kized"

"Aye sir?"

"Take us in".

"Aye-aye".

The USS Challenger then turned to starboard and engaged it's impulse drive heading through the Iconian gateway to the Delta Quadrant.
