» 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]

Nevin guided the shuttle closer, the planet looming larger in the view screen. The fog shifted and thickened, swirling as if aware of their approach. Emilynn’s fingers flew over the console, adjusting sensors, her eyes wide with anticipation.

Then, without warning, as if crossing an invisible barrier, the entire shuttle shuddered. The hum of the engines died instantly, systems flickered, and the lights blinked before plunging the cockpit into dim emergency lighting.

“What—No. No!” Nevin began, reaching for the console, but words died in his throat.

Before either could react, the temperature dropped sharply. Cold air washed over them,…

[ON]

The shuttle dropped out of warp well short of the coordinates they had seen in their vision.

Stars snapped back into place, the Trialus system stretching before them. The red giant cast a dull, rust-colored glow across space, its swollen light spilling shadows across the void. Nevin eased the shuttle down to impulse.

“We come in slow,” he said. “No surprises.”

Emilynn nodded, widening the sensor sweep. “I detect no other ships in the area,” she said.

Even so, he felt the subtle hum of tension in her mind, a pull that pressed against his chest like gravity. The…

[ON]

Lieutenant JG Nevin Brax moved through the near-empty engineering deck, his boots clicking softly against the deck plates. It was the typical routine for the night watch—long hours spent in quiet corridors where the only company was the low, steady hum of machinery.

Overhead lights cast shadows across the walls. He sat at a console making various animal shadows to pass the time. It wasn’t long before the familiar boredom vanished when an alert pinged on a nearby console. He stood and walked over to investigate. There was a minor spike in the auxiliary power conduits, nothing critical, just…

YEARS AGO...

Devin had no idea what she was doing here. She was on medical leave but honestly everything was in limbo. She had a new command-the Lionheart B-but other than that she felt...adrift. Stopping the Black Tide, rescuing the crew of the Recalcitrant...

The mutiny...

She had her command, but that was it for her. No more promotions. And even her new command was in jeopardy if Councilor Nome did not clear her. And he was not going to clear her, Devin thought bitterly. She was not being 'honest' with him. Not being 'honest' with herself. What was there…

Mission: Interlude 2
Posted on Tue Mar 3rd, 2026 @ 9:24pm by Master Chief Petty Officer Harris Zim & Ensign Ozai Y'zyr

[ON]

Ozai had a little time to kill, so slid into a set of black joggers and t-shirt. They had white piping along the seams and across the chest. A solid pair of work out shoes and he was ready to check out the facilities. A starbase should have an impressive gymnasium. If not? Perhaps a trip to the holodecks. He could pull up any program of any stadium he wanted. But he wasn't picky.

Pulling the white sports shirt over his arms, he jogged from his temporary quarters and found the turbolifts to the main promenade and its offshoots.…

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…

[Personal Log]

My time aboard the Firebird, followed by our current assignment on the Valkyrie, continues to be challenging. The transition from the structured and predictable environment of the academy has proven to be an adjustment. At the academy four months ago, my days were filled with rigid schedules and classroom lectures, all designed to prepare us for our eventual roles in space travel. However, that familiar structure has given way to the unpredictable and often chaotic dynamics of life aboard a starship. Each day presents an array of trials, testing both my ability to work collaboratively with the crew…
