Wildfire

Wildfire is the specialised recon/scouting unit of Task Force 47 with the additional role of behind enemy lines striking capability. As a result the unit has a mix of fast vessels, lighter vessels such as the Intrepid Class Starship; USS Antioch as well as heavier more powerful vessels such as the units flagship; USS Illustrious. As a result of her role the unit often finds itself making first contacts, as do most Federation starships, meaning that although it has a military mission it also has a responsibility to carry out the mission of Starfleet to make peaceful contact with alien species.

In wartime, Wildfire will often be seperated from the bulk of the Task Force, despite the fact that this takes one of the Task Force's Soverign Class Starships, but given the speed of the vessels in Wildfire, this is not a problem as the unit can return to the task force in the event of an emergency.
