The USS Roosevelt (NCC-94533) is a Federation Sao Paulo class starship operated by Starfleet and in service with the 38th Fleet’s Solatus Squadron. The vessel was named after Theodore Roosevelt, one of Earth’s Presidents of the United States in the early 20th century.
History
Little is known about the USS Roosevelt’s origins, being one of a number of vessels of the Sao Paulo class produced to replace the aging Defiant and its variants, though the Roosevelt in particular was constructed later in the class’s service period, taking advantage of more recent technological advances than earlier production models.
Assigned to patrol duties along the Klingon-Federation border shortly after its commissioning, it notably saw action during the recent Romulan War where it was recalled to defend areas near Romulan space, participating in several skirmishes.
Following the conflict with the Romulans, it was tasked with peacekeeping operations in the Orion Sector, up until its reassignment to the 38th Fleet’s Solatus Squadron, under the command of Lieutenant Commander Matthew Flynn, his first commission as a command officer.

The design of the Sao Paulo class remains significantly similar to the Defiant’s, conceptualized as a modern refit to its precedessor. It possesses exposed, forward-swept warp nacelles and a more faceted main deflector, with other minor alterations to the hull enhancing the familiar style.
The vessel has a total of 5 decks, carrying a operational crew of 50 with a evacuation limit of 150, and holds the usual facilities on a Starfleet starship, but lacks holodecks, a counselor’s office, recreational centers, lounges, arboretums, and civilian/family spaces due to its compact size and design as a tactical escort. The mess hall also doubles as a informal meeting room.
Command & Control Systems
The computer systems aboard the Sao Paulo class use bio-neural circuitry now standard in most modern Starfleet vessels and comes equipped with a single computer core to control the starship’s systems. Control is focused from the bridge located on Deck 1, concealed within the hull to provide added protection similar to on the Defiant class.
Propulsion & Power Generation
The Sao Paulo class uses a class-7 matter/antimatter warp drive and spans three decks in the vessel’s aft section, its size indicative of its massive power, capable of outputting a warp signature equivalent to larger starships. The design flaw that threatened the Defiant class’s hull integrity with this warp drive has since been corrected in the refit.
The vessel has a standard crusing speed of Warp 6, with a maximum speed of Warp 9.5 when energy is diverted to the warp drive. It is capable of achieving a limit of Warp 9.982 for 12 hours.
As with all Starfleet starships, sublight propulsion is achieved through the use of the Sao Paulo’s twin impulse engines, located on the hull’s rear. RCS thrusters are used for more precise maneuvering.
Tactical & Defensive Systems
Aside from being equipped with deflector shielding and ablative hull plating, the Sao Paulo class also possesses the Defiant’s powerful quad phaser cannons, located in forward facing sections along the ship’s hull, but on the nacelle assembly, one on top of both stanchions, and another on both of the outer tips of the nacelles. Along with this, there are also three phaser arrays, one forward on the tip of the deflector section, one aft, and one behind the bridge section, to complement the cannons.
Also as is on the Defiant design, the starship has an array of six torpedo launchers, four forward and two at the rear. The forward launchers are located midway between the nacelles and the deflector as well, away from the phaser cannons, while the rear launchers are positioned on top of the rear of the nacelles. The launchers allow for firing of both photon and quantum torpedoes.
Auxiliary Spacecraft
The Sao Paulo class, like the Defiant, has a total of three shuttlebays. It carries a complement of six shuttlepods, two in each bay.
