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 Sun Jul 5th, 2026 @ 5:52pm by Commander Rosa Coy & Commander Jenna Ramthorne & Lieutenant Commander Bonnie "Bon-Bon" Durnell & Lieutenant Leo Da'Cinci

The shuttle bay had settled into the comfortable disorder that always followed a successful test flight. Tool carts stood open beside the berth, diagnostic emitters blinked patiently from portable stands, and maintenance panels rested neatly against the deck where technicians had removed them from the hull of the Firebird. She occupied her new home with quiet confidence, the fresh paint still carrying the subtle sheen of a vessel whose story had only just begun.

Jenna already stood beside the port nacelle, one hip resting against a maintenance ladder while a PADD floated in one hand. Her attention drifted between engineering…

Mission: Pirates!

"The wound that hurts the most is the one pride insists does not exist."

I.S.S. Sunfire

The bridge hung upside down. Or perhaps the ship had finally stopped rolling. It hardly mattered. Emergency lighting painted everything in pulsing crimson while damaged consoles spat intermittent showers of sparks. Smoke drifted lazily through the compartment as emergency ventilation struggled to reclaim the air. Somewhere aft, another explosion echoed through the hull.

Remal pushed himself upright from where the deck had thrown him. His shoulder protested. He ignored it. "Report."

Around him the bridge slowly came back to life. Bonnie hauled herself into her chair and immediately…

Marie watched as Patin conducted another lesson, this one on hate and the consequence of it. It hurt to see her friend relive dark memories, to feel all the feelings again and try to justify them as trying to survive. If Patin was in Starfleet there would be a queue of counsellors at her cabin door to work through the multitude of trauma that a life under constant threat brings.

Her attention drifted though, back to the empty Mojito glass, little Patina, and a naked Remal chasing the toddler through a tropical villa.

"Hey... not to intrude or anything but…

T'Lar woke early as she normally did, though it could be said that she normally did not do so to the sound of seagulls crying, sea lions barking and waves crashing along the beach. She moved quietly, grabbing one of the hotel provided robes, and set about replicating a small carafe of coffee for Jacob.

He'd slept through the rest of the night without any return of the nighmare which had awakened him so brutally in the wee hours of the morning. T'Lar felt for him. She knew what those dreams were like. For years she'd been plagued by her…

Chapter Eight: Where Memory Rests

Khelaris changed slowly after Corven’s episode, though the shift lived more in atmosphere than procedure.

The station still carried the same rhythms through its corridors. Monitors still hummed softly through sleepless hours while rehabilitation schedules rotated endlessly across medical terminals. Patients still wandered the arboretum during difficult nights searching for silence gentle enough to rest inside. Though something quieter had settled beneath the daily motion, as if the station itself had exhaled after surviving another close brush with collapse.

Corven withdrew for several days afterward. Though not completely. He still attended observation sessions. He still…

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…
