» 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…

Posted on Mon Jun 9th, 2025 @ 5:25pm by Ensign Abigail Gordon

It was a couple of days or so after the party at Captain Malcom Llwyedd's place, that Abigail was woken up by the door chime of the hotel room she was staying in. She had gotten herself a private room, complete with a bathtub and a good view of the gardens that were near. Abigail rolled over to ignore the chime at her door, she did have a do not disturb sign there, as she wanted to sleep in. Abi hoped that whomeever was ringing her chime, would just go away if she didn't answer. Roling to her other side,…

[ON]

It felt strange to be back on Deep Space Nine again. Despite it being a space station, it felt more cramped than Deep Space Eighteen and yet a lot more spacious than the Firebird. That was not exactly a surprise and Rhiana was not certain why she was thinking that way. Maybe she was just glad to be back and among more people than when she had walked along long, eerily empty corridors on the station in the Gamma Quadrant.

She pushed those thoughts aside and concentrated on the task at hand: finding Bokot. As soon as she had…

[ON]

Malcom couldn't stop himself from pacing. It had been a long time since he'd had a new XO and even longer since he'd had one that had been assigned instead of chosen. He glanced over at Rhiana. He'd fully intended to make her his XO, despite how much she would hate the administrative part of the job. But she'd be an excellent XO. Someone he could count on.

He sighed.

The choice had been taken out of his hands. He couldn't have refused Admiral Boyle.

"She should arrive in about an hour," Malcom said and slumped into a seat…

[ON]

The view from the dome was spectacular. A soft wash of water across the beach beneath a dark, diamond sky. Around Jörgen and Anna spread the rugged waves of the Djursland peninsula. Their old stomping grounds. They sat at a modest table deep in crispy pork, potatoes covered in parsley sauce, and aebleskiver with jam. Linen napkins folded like white, silk swans. A small vase held three deep-red flowers that Anna claimed were similar to tulips, even if they technically came from a Cardassian hydroponics lab.

“I still say you overdid it,” Anna said, watching Jörgen straighten one of…

Posted on Fri May 30th, 2025 @ 3:39pm by Captain Malcom Llwyedd & Petty Officer 1st Class Kipp Lak & Master Chief Petty Officer Harris Zim

[ON]

Harris Zim had arrived from the USS Crane via shuttle just hours earlier. He had received his quarters assignment and had his belongings transferred. However, he had not seen the quarters themselves. Duty warranted that he inform the Captain that he had arrived and was ready, willing, and able to serve. So, with no delay, he made his way to the Ready Room and rang the door chime.

Malcom looked up at the door chime. He was reviewing the plans for the Firebird's time in spacedock and wanted to make sure he was familiar with the details. A lot…

Personal log, Elias Ford

This is my last shift on the USS Horizon. A departure long overdue.

Lieutenant Lora presented herself in the sickbay, severe swelling of the throat and difficulty breathing. Diagnosis: allergic reaction. She refused to say to what. Treatment: 15cc of dinaproppaline. Kept overnight for observation.

Just when I was about to assign someone to look into her allergy, the answer came strolling through the sickbay doors. Her co-conspirator, Ensign Vlad presented himself with an active rapid degeneration of dermal tissue. Diagnosis: Edo protein supplement, causes swelling to internal tissue and degeneration to external tissue in humans.…

Location: USS Firebird, Junior Officers Quarters
Timeline: Present day

Zub Enel held the duraglass vial up to the light and tapped it with a claw. The red grains shifted. It was a powdered spice blend for salads that Kalstri, the beloved four-armed chef, had made for him. He felt a wave of sadness mixed with dread. The texture of the red grains flecked with black specks reminded him of the day he had died. Unbidden, it all flooded back to him.

Mr Computer, I wish to record a personal missive

Hermóðr hear my words

I have arrived aboard the Firebird after completing advanced training in security procedures. The ship is posted to the Gamma Quadrant so I find myself on the other side of the galaxy from my father. Joining Star Fleet was, amongst other things, an attempt to get closer to him and now I am further away than ever. “Duty is a harsh Master” my father said many times when he would be unable to visit. It made little sense to an eight-year old girl but now, a decade…

Personal Log,

It has been a whirlwind of activity lately, with Olivia being six months pregnant with our second child and Katie nearing the end of her school year. We have been discussing the possibility of sending her to a Starfleet Youth camp this summer, but we have not yet made a final decision. It could be a great opportunity for her to learn more about space exploration and science, but I also worry about being away from her for an extended period of time.

In the midst of all this, I have received news of my new duty station…

Posted on Mon Jan 15th, 2024 @ 6:31am by Warrant Officer Arlan Harlan

As Harlan melted down slightly in the tube during an active combat sequence, his mind drifted to things he'd read over the years. In particular, the speculative science fiction of centuries past. At the time, Harlan thought they were silly. Generation ships full of hibernating people, humans uploaded into super bodies near the end of their lives; what nonsense. Particulary odd were tales of Earth disappearing or being abandoned. Authors really had no faith that humanity could turn itself around if it was given a tall enough task.

And yet, Harlan couldn't help but think of all the wonders he'd…
