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 :)

Day 2

Morning arrived quietly, filtering into the room through a softened gradient of light that replaced the clinical brightness of the night before with something gentler, though no less controlled. Rosa surfaced into it with a steadier awareness, her consciousness rising without resistance this time, settling into her body as if reacquainting itself with familiar territory that still carried new limits.

Her breath moved more easily, though each expansion of her ribs reminded her of the boundaries she now occupied. The ache remained, dull and consistent, no longer demanding her full attention yet refusing to fade into the background.…

​"Commander Thriss, Savar," Rowan called out, his eyes fixed on an fluctuating frequency spike on his screen. "If they mirrored my encryption to authorise that transport, they’ve likely left a parasitic sub routine embedded in our primary computer core. It’s piggybacking on my voice to stream our own telemetry straight to that Bird of Prey."

​He turned his head slightly to look at Rhenora, his expression a mask of pale, professional focus.

​"That relic isn't outrunning us, Captain. It’s reading our navigation logs before we even execute the turns. Using an ancient T’Liss Class to outmanoeuvre a modern Starfleet vessel…

Aurora was sitting feet up enjoying a little quiet time while N’vea was at nursery, she’d been keeping herself away from everyone else having contracted a case of Laryngitis, ever glad that she could talk telepathically with Savar as she’d barely had a voice. She was starting to feel better now, she had messaged Sarah hoping she would approve her return to duty.

Dr Wilson replied, asking Aurora to stop by sickbay at her convenience for a quick checkup.

As requested Aurora made her way to Sickbay, walking in she offered Sarah a warm smile. “Hi Sarah” her voice was…

Consciousness returned in weighted layers that gathered before meaning formed. Rosa surfaced through sensation first, her body asserting itself with quiet insistence as awareness assembled around it. Weight settled across her chest and limbs, dense and grounding, while breath moved through lungs that resisted depth and demanded care.

The air tasted dry and sterile, carrying the faint trace of antiseptic that lingered along the back of her throat. A low mechanical hum threaded through the space, steady and measured, joined by softer tones that rose and fell with clinical precision.

Movement passed close to her. Hands adjusted something at her…

Posted on Thu Apr 9th, 2026 @ 5:26pm by Lieutenant JG Olivia Voight & Lieutenant Commander Bonnie "Bon-Bon" Durnell

The day had the kind of quiet rhythm Bonnie trusted, the steady hum of systems behaving exactly as they promised they would, and that alone should have been her first warning. She stood half inside the open housing of the trans-sectional transporter, sleeves pushed up, hair loosely gathered and already slipping free as she traced the edge of a warped coupling with careful fingers.

The last activation had left its signature everywhere, heat scoring along the internal lattice, a faint crystalline brittleness where flexible pathways once carried energy like breath. Her tricorder rested nearby, chirping soft confirmations as she mapped…

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…
