This article has a separate continuity.
This article is in the Richard Hatch continuation separate continuity, which is related to the Original Series. Be sure that your contributions to this article reflect the characters and events specific to this continuity only.

Captain Patroclus is Scorpius Ascendant's commanding officer in 7360[1].

A pro-Ambassador Puck seditionist, he lead the charge in seceding from the Fleet, with the decree that they would accept Quorum of Twelve's rule upon Puck's ascension to Fleet Commander[1][2].

This decision is mainly symbolic as Ascendant still travels alongside the Fleet[3], until Lieutenant Commander Athena declares that Patroclus and his crew either pledge fealty to the Quorum, or take one of two choices: exile from the Fleet, or obliteration along with their vessel[4].

After the deception of "Puck" is revealed to all, Patroclus' and Ascendant's crew rejoin the Fleet[5] (RH: Armageddon).
