» 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 hatch opened inward, revealing a wide corridor running away from the Firebird away team. Jinx had been expecting a dark, smoke-filled interior full of Romulans shooting at them. Instead, the corridor was well lit and showed no signs of battle or Romulans.

"Huh. Kinda anti-climactic," he said, lowering his phasers. He turned his head and shouted into the shuttle. "Ensign Y'zyr, it looks like you got the easy duty."

Zim stepped through the hatch and sniffed the air. It smelled acrid and stale, as if it had lingered unsettled for too long. As he looked around, he could…

[ON]

The four Starfleet officers materialized in the main engineering section of the Romulan ship. Their immediate impressions were limited due to the blazing light that filled the entire space. It was difficult to see anything beyond a few feet.

Malcom held up his free hand to shield his eyes. With the other, he moved the phaser as he spun, looking for targets. Adding to the confusion was some kind of warning klaxon. He had to shout to be heard.

"Some of the structural beams are down, I think!" He also realized he was already sweating. "We've got to get…

[ON]

While the scene on the ground had looked calm from above, no-one running around, no apparent large-scale explosions having happened, it was a different situation once the away team had opened the shuttle door. Loud warning klaxons were blaring all over the place and seemingly coming from all directions at once. The landing pad's two slots were occupied and the fallen remains of some Romulans were lying on the ground near the open doors to their respective shuttles. Surrounding the landing pad was a large perimeter of open space to make a covert approach impossible. This was bordered by…

[ON]

Ozai stepped heavily onto the Bridge, his uniform crisp, his mind sharp. It was gamma shift. The shiftiest of shifts, in most people's opinions, known for long quiet hours and mind-numbing boredom, punctuated by scans of various things as they warped past.

But. It was the Bridge.

And he would be commanding it.

He walked into the open space, finding the officer currently holding The Chair. Not the chair. The Chair. Capital Chair.

Stopping and setting his red eyes on the officer, he simply nodded, accepting it was the change of duty shifts. And when the chair was no…

[ON]

Ozai trudged into his quarters with a worsening limp. It was the end of the day, and he’d spent the last hour of it in the gym despite already being spent. He dropped his towel into the recycler and headed for a sonic shower. Once acceptably clean, he stumbled to his bedroom, which, as he had no roommate at the moment, he left the door open to the main room without worry about intrusion.

Pulling on a pair of soft shorts and sitting on the side of his bunk, he winced, a hand sliding down his right thigh. His…

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…
