The NSS Sickle was one of the final Sword-class Frigate ever built and was not able to prove its mettle in combat during any of the previous conflicts. It would be eventually mothballed until YE 39 when the NSS Sickle was activated again and transferred to the NSN 1st Expeditionary Fleet under the command of Lieutenant Sadie Ravenarc as part of Task Force "Farthest Stride".
