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 Mon Jun 22nd, 2026 @ 1:03pm by Commander Rosa Coy & Commander Jenna Ramthorne

The first round of tests gave Rosa exactly what she expected and absolutely nothing she wanted. A proper stress test carried a certain amount of disappointment when the machine survived every challenge without complaint. Pilots enjoyed success. Test pilots enjoyed data. The two concepts shared territory, though they rarely occupied the same seat.

The Firebird accelerated cleanly through a series of impulse bursts that would have left most shuttlecraft grumbling through their structural members. Rosa drove her through increasingly aggressive flight profiles, building speed before snapping into hard vector changes that attempted to expose weaknesses hidden inside the frame. Telemetry…

Mission: Character Development
Posted on Fri Jun 19th, 2026 @ 7:17pm by Commander Rosa Coy & Commander Jenna Ramthorne

The fabrication bay had settled into the comfortable rhythm that followed a successful test flight.

Technicians moved between consoles with the relaxed efficiency of people whose reports had already come back clean. Diagnostic displays scrolled green across suspended monitors. Structural scans rotated lazily above workstations. Somewhere beneath the layered hum of power systems and environmental controls, somebody had started playing music through a maintenance speaker and earned exactly three complaints before everyone decided they liked the selection after all.

At the center of it sat the Firebird.

Fresh from her first flight, she rested in the fabrication bay with the…

"Every mirror tells two stories. One belongs to the face before it. The other belongs to the face staring back."

I.S.S. Sunfire – Bridge

The silence that followed the Bristol's escape lasted only a few seconds. Long enough for everyone to understand what had happened. Not long enough for anyone to comment upon it.

The tactical display continued tracking the fading sensor distortions left behind by the emergency warp jump. Across the viewscreen, plasma storms rolled through the Badlands in great burning rivers of gold and crimson while the dimensional portal vanished slowly behind them.

A sensor officer broke the…

Mission: Character Development
Posted on Thu Jun 18th, 2026 @ 10:20pm by Captain Marie Batel & Patin

"Every life leaves fingerprints upon the soul. Reincarnation is not the act of becoming someone else. It is becoming more than one person could ever hope to be. The river does not mourn the mountain when it leaves it behind. It carries the mountain with it, grain by grain, until both a become part of the sea."


The stars brightened.

The Chaotic One has chosen.

Patin blinked. Then she pointed upward immediately. “Whoa, whoa, whoa.” She held up both hands. “You don't know that.”

The Temple remained serenely silent.

Patin folded her arms. “For all you know, I finally decided…

Patina continued to wage war on the splash pool, sending floating toys and water in every conceivable direction. She returned to the edge regularly for fruit and sips of the berry smoothie that Remal had ordered for her, before returning anew to the war on water.

Rhenora relaxed on the deck chair, partially shaded by the umbrella, coffee on the small table next to her with a half eaten plate of fruit that lay waiting for whenever she felt obliged to nibble on it. The sun was deliciously warm, casting a warmth over her skin that only inactivity and tropical…

Posted on Mon Jan 26th, 2026 @ 1:56pm by Lieutenant JG Rowan Hale

Personal log, Lieutenant JG Rowan Hale.

Several weeks have passed since I reported aboard the USS Sunfire. The distinction between days has already begun to erode, replaced by duty rotations, alert tones, and the constant vibration of the engines through the deckplates. This is a familiar phenomenon. I have experienced it before. The recurrence is… notable.

Assuming the role of Chief Medical Officer has proceeded with fewer complications than anticipated. That does not imply the absence of scrutiny. Lieutenant Commander Aurora Vali has proven invaluable in both administrative and clinical matters. Her insight into crew psychology is precise and uncomfortably…


» 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…

Personal Log:
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…
