» 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]


For several seconds, Emilynn didn't move. She stared at the empty space where Vruvok had been. The reality of what she’d done settled over her. She had taken a life. There would be time to face that later. Right now, her crew needed her.

Every sense was on edge as she tightened her grip on the disruptor and stepped into the corridor. It was empty, which should have made her feel safer, but it didn't. She moved purposefully until she reached the access panel she had noticed earlier.

“Here goes nothing,” she thought before accessing the interface.

The screens…

[ON]

Jinx flinched as the Little Bird flew through the rock and debris. He wondered if the Ensign was trying to hit as much rock as possible but discarded the idea. He moved to a storage locker and pulled out one of the emergency medical kits that Dr. Ford had insisted they bring along. He set it down next to the unconscious Romulan and began working on her.

"So are we going to be able to lose these guys? We can't just let them follow us back to the Firebird."

Gale tried not to wince as one of the other…

[ON]

The outline of the computer system went red as Fhiri watched. The lighting in the hallway suddenly changed from a basic white light to red, turning all of the Firebird's crew into bloody images. A loud humming cut through the corridor and there was a series of thunking sounds that shook the walls.

The humming grew louder and then, without warning, a series of crackling red beams lanced out from hidden spots and cut through the corridor, dividing it up into ten-foot sections, similar to a holding cell. The beams were floor-to-ceiling, with a few inches separating one from…

Starfleet Academy Counselors' Office

AL lay on the couch; this wasn't his first time in a counselor's office since he was "defrosted" and given the surgery that melded human to machine. He started to have nightmares; one of his conditions to be at the academy and in the program was that if he was having nightmares, he needed to seek help.

December 12, 2012 03:30 am
The young, pretty female Bajorian counselor sat with a padd in hand and had listened; she instructed him to close his eyes and concentrate on the nightmare. He complied and took a deep…

`Engineering Hall`

Al tugged at the collar of his uniform, still trying to get used to the high collar. He walked with his brown leather messenger bag bouncing against his left hip. It was holding his PADDs, several traditional notebooks, and pencils. Along with a slide rule, erasers, and other things he thought he needed. This new "timeline" was still very confusing. The "aliens" were also confusing, even after the four years of trying to wrap his head around everything that happened. He glanced down at his watch. "Crap, crap, crap..." he muttered to himself as he started to…

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…
