» USS Valkyrie Attacked by Unknown Forces

Posted on Thu Feb 19th, 2026 @ 2:49pm by Captain Malcom Llwyedd in General News

Fleet News Network has confirmed that the USS Valkyrie was ambushed on its trip to Starbase 10. Reports indicate that a caretaker crew was returning the ship to its crew after a lengthy repair and refit of all systems. Rumors say that the caretaker crew was the crew of the infamous USS Firebird!

From what has been told to us, the Valkyrie was ambushed only days away from reaching Starbase 10 and suffered extensive damage and multiple casualties. The identity of the ship attacking the Valkyrie has not been confirmed, but sources assured us that it was likely an Orion…


» Federation Announces Joint Venture With Bajor

Posted on Wed Mar 8th, 2023 @ 9:42pm by Captain Malcom Llwyedd in General News

After many years of planning, Starfleet Command has announced the pre-construction phase for a new space station, to be located on the Gamma Quadrant side of the Bajoran wormhole. This new space station, designated Deep Space Eighteen, will increase security in the Alpha Quadrant, help protect New Bajor and serve as a hub for further exploration in the Gamma Quadrant.

"This new station represents a continuation of the core tenets that guide the United Federation of Planets. We are excited about the opportunities its construction will open up. We are especially thankful for the pledged contributions from the Bajoran people…

[ON]
The deck plates hummed as the cloak dropped. For one naked, terrifying second, the Firebird ceased to be a ghost drifting amid the battlefield and became an anomaly. A target. Prey.

Jörgen gripped the arms of the center chair hard enough to whiten his knuckles, his diplomatic poise stripped down to a his own pounding heart. Through the forward viewscreen, the torn hull of the dead warbird hung ragged and dead, barely shielding disruptor fire from the fighter.

Five life signs. Get them, Potter. Now.

A chime signaled the pattern buffers engaging, then the universe snapped back at them.…

Mission: Mission 3: Under the Cover of Darkness

[ON]

Malcom decided that if it were up to him, he would fly the shuttle directly into a star, where it belonged. The craft was simply not well constructed. It had a fine engine, but all of the navigational components were clearly bottom-shelf parts. Usually, after programming in the destination, the computer would keep everything on track, leaving the pilot with very little to do.

This shuttle didn't work that way. The sensors were feeding the right information into the navigation systems but, for some unidentifiable reason, the data kept being corrupted. That forced them to drop out of warp,…

[ON]

The rescuers and the rescuee had armed themselves with the disruptor pistols and rifles of the fallen guards and begun to make their way in the opposite direction of where the Tal Shiar guards had come from. They did not have to walk far to once more reach the crossroads where the Tal Shiar had overpowered them.

To their left was the corridor they had come from, leading to an empty cell block, more corridors, the cell block from where they had liberated the prisoners and, after a few more corridors, would lead them back to the shuttle landing…

[ON]

Only two guards escorted the handcuffed Rhiana into the opposite direction to the rest of the away team. There were no cells here, at least no cells with force fields. Only regularly spaced closed doors. After several minutes, the small group eventually came to a halt in front of one that was in no way different from the others. When it slid open, it revealed an office of sorts.

It was austere and devoid of any decoration. The same artificial lighting as in the corridors. No window to the outside. A metal-grey desk with drawers and a comfortable-looking office…

"Computer, begin recording," Malcom said as he got up from his desk and walked over to the replicator.

Recording

"Captain's personal log. My initial excitement about returning to my ship has been severely tempered," he said and tapped the screen to repeat his last order. A tall glass full of amber liquid appeared. He grabbed it and headed towards the couch.

"Where to start? None of the away teams returned unscathed. Some... some didn't return," he said and took a long drink. He still couldn't believe that Fhiri was dead. She had been so well liked by the crew…

EARTH'S MOON, FORTY FOUR YEARS AGO...

He had no idea how long he had been unconscious. He had staggered away from the Bolian and could tell by the warm wetness running down his coveralls he had either lost control of his bladder or was leaking a copious amount of red stuff. Thirty seconds later the light headedness confirmed he still had control of his urinary system.

He knew where to find a first aid kit, other than the central security station. If he went there the Bolian’s associate would shoot him on the spot and to hell with the consequences.…

SEVEN OR SO YEARS AGO…

“All right,” Devin snapped commandingly to the collection of teenagers and adolescents in the auditorium, “That was not terrible.” her smile took the sting out of the lackluster praise and she was greeted with a few smiles, “I can tell whom amongst us is practicing and whom are assuming they know the piece by heart.” She gently tapped the podium with her wand and stated, “We will run through just one more time today and then I shall release you into the wild. Positions! And…”

Devin strolled home after the rehearsal. They were wonderful children,…

FOURTEEN YEARS AGO...

Devin sat in the conference room with her attorney, Skye Nouri. Skye was a civilian but despite that there was an almost military bearing about her in how she wore her graying black hair in a severe low bun at the back of her neck and the crisp cut of her dark gray pantsuit. Nouri was going over some files on several PADDs and looked so unruffled Devin was certain she had taken tranquilizers. Devin herself attempted an outwardly calm appearance but she worried over how the preliminary hearing had gone.

Nouri did not seem to dislike…
