I do believe it is Independence Day for my Northern living crew. I hope the day was filled with family and friends.
I also happens to be the 24th anniversary of this fleet forming. Yes we've been around THAT long, there are a handful of us who have been around since those early days.
Leaving thoughts of middle age and decrepitness aside, please see the below anniversary link..there's some cool stuff going on there :)

Mission: Character Development
Posted on Fri Jan 2nd, 2026 @ 8:05pm by Commander Rosa Coy & Remal Kajun
The counseling room felt lived-in, which already made it unusual. Rosa paused just inside the threshold, taking in the small rebellions against standard Starfleet décor: a wooden bowl carved by hand, a strip of woven fabric pinned along the wall, the faint smell of mountain tea steeping quietly in a corner. Remal Kajun sat with an ease that suggested he belonged here, not because he owned the space, but because he cultivated it.
The doors parted, “Rosa,” he greeted, warm without intruding. “You made it.”
The door slid shut behind her with a soft hiss. She hesitated long enough to…

Captain Kaylen Rhenora sat comfortably in the command chair, a half finished cup of coffee resting casually on the arm rest. The Sunfire had been on a survey mission for the past few weeks, having finished their repairs at DS9 and having restored the natural weather patterns of her beloved Bajor. Things were going smoothly, and the Sunfire was cruising through a region of space Starfleet hadn't visited in nearly two hundred years.
"Captain, we have a communication from Command incoming" the junior Ops officer announced.
"On screen" Rhenora replied with missing a beat.
Admiral Benyan appeared, her white hair…

Mission: For Bajor!
Posted on Fri Jan 2nd, 2026 @ 12:57am by Lieutenant Commander Bonnie "Bon-Bon" Durnell
Dust drifted in lazy spirals through the ruined safehouse, stirred by the rasp of MU Dean’s breathing. He lay half-upright against a cargo crate, one shoulder wrapped in a bandage already turning black where the blood seeped through. The others pretended not to watch him struggle; pretending was easier than accepting that their numbers had thinned to the bone.
A cracked window let in a thin slice of Bajoran dusk. Wind slid through the fissure with a soft wheeze, like the building itself was mourning. The floor was littered with broken glass, old ration packets, and the inorganic stink of…

Captain Kaylen Rhenora walked to her quarters, the corridors slightly darkened to indicate Gamma shift. It was late, and those that were not on duty were resting or enjoying their downtime. Remal was currently reading, Patina already asleep in her cot. She was growing so fast and it pulled at rhe Captain's heart to realise just how much of her daughter's days she was missing. Remal was doing a splendid job, balancing his work and raising their child. She however felt the balance weighing heavily in favour of the ship, with only late nights and early mornings spent with her…

The runabout’s soft shudder as it entered Trill’s upper atmosphere did nothing to quiet the tension coiled in the cockpit. Rosa kept her eyes on the controls, fingers steady, posture impeccable, every motion a deliberate push against the memory clinging to her skin. The smell of Jexas scent still filled her olfactory senses, the taste lingering on her tongue.
Jexa sat beside her, silent as a locked drawer. Olaris sat behind Jexa, watching Rosa with that measured, almost clinical calm of someone who notices more than she comments on. Toval was absorbed in readings he didn’t actually need to take.…

» USS Sunfire — Acting Command Log - Bajoran Satellite Transfer
Posted on Fri Dec 5th, 2025 @ 6:38pm by Commander Jenna Ramthorne
Commander Jenna Lee Ramthorne, Bridge
Orbital track remains stable over Bajor’s northern hemisphere. Power levels nominal, comm buoy array holding lock. Current duty shift cycling cleanly.
At 1427 hours, Deep Space Nine signaled priority contact. Colonel Kira Nerys appeared on main viewer. Her report was short and to the point: the replacement control satellite had passed all station-level diagnostics and was ready for handover. Requested Sunfire to retrieve, position, and complete final activation protocols. Authorization codes transmitted and verified.
Acknowledged the order and initiated retrieval preparations.
Helm plotted a straight-line course from our current orbital anchor to DS9 at three-quarter…

Personal Log, Leo Da’Cinci — Supplemental
(Confidential. Not for official record. If ye’re readin’ this, put it back where ye found it, or I’ll throttle ye with me own spanner.)
I woke up this mornin’ to the bloody computer chirpin’ in me ear again. 0600 hours sharp, no mercy, no consideration. “Good mornin’, Lieutenant Da’Cinci,” it says, as though I’m about to spring out of bed with a smile. Ha! I roll over, mumble a curse or three, and slap the console ‘til it shuts up. Truth be told, if the ship herself didn’t need me, I’d never leave the…

Entry 2
The transfer to the USS Sunfire is still pending. The ship hasn't arrived at Deep Space 9 yet, and so I am left to wait. I've been spending my time in my quarters, staring out the window at the endless parade of vessels docked at the station's ring. My gaze keeps drifting back to my own ship, the Achilles-class I brought here, a testament to my own work. Seeing it so close only makes my current assignment feel more… ordinary.
I have been officially assigned the position of Chief Strategic Operations Officer. In a time of…

Kitiuas stepped into her new quarters, much larger do to the fact it was designated for family.
Kasso looked up from the kitchen nook 'Well you look like a warmed over korgasant." said Kasso as she stirred something in the Orion firepot in front of her. Kit could smell the rich spices and sizzling food and smiled.
Kit replied, "I feel like a warmed over korasant. I need to take a shower before I nurse . Where is Astraea by the way?"
Kasso nodded to the side of the counter, there was a small Orion rocker crib. "I finally got…

Alright, here it is. Quinn's final request before I ship out. A personal log. I’ve never seen the point of one of these. My memory is, and always has been, perfect. But I obliged. As I always do with him.
I'm packing now. Or, what passes for packing. The reality modulator is humming, folding my few possessions into pocket-sized singularities. A few tools, my meditation sphere, the memories. The memories are what feel heaviest.
It's strange, but the thought of this new post on the Sunfire brings everything back to the beginning. Or, rather, the end. My end. I still…
