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 :)

Posted on Tue May 19th, 2026 @ 6:07pm by Commander Rosa Coy

Command is quieter than I expected.

The chair feels good beneath me. The deck plating carries the same low vibration through my boots, steady and soothing. The air holds the faint scent of recycled coolant and warmed circuitry, with a faint trace of petrulli oil from someone's aftershave. In the grand scheme there isn't anything special about this situation, and yet it is.

I adjust my posture before anyone looks directly at me, the movement small and deliberate, settling into my spine as though I have practiced it more times than I remember. I've seen Commander Coy do the same…

“Sometimes victory arrives limping home through blood and silence, carrying the names of the dead instead of songs of triumph.”

U.S.S. Sunfire

The stars stretched thin across the viewscreen and collapsed back into stillness as the Sunfire emerged from warp at the edge of the Sol system. Earth hung in the distance like a fragile memory wrapped in blue and white, serene in a way that felt almost offensive after everything the ship had endured. The Sunfire herself looked wounded.

Scorch marks crawled across her once-pristine hull plating. Entire sections of armor remained blackened from weapons fire and debris impacts.…

The shuttle eased away from Spacedock with the soft vibration of controlled thrust humming beneath Rosa’s boots, the massive structure outside the viewport slowly rotating against the black of space as docking arms, repair pylons, and streams of civilian traffic drifted past in layered motion. She sat near the rear of the cabin with her injured arm secured in its sling, shoulders settled carefully against the seat while the ache beneath her ribs reminded her that recovery still carried an opinion about how she moved.

The last several hours lingered close in her thoughts, fragments of Echo’s voice surfacing now…

“The most dangerous mirrors are the ones that reflect what we might have become… and what we still could.”

ISS Sunfire Brig

T'Lar entered the Brig and ordered the security watch team to wait outside. She approached the center cell's shimmering blue forcefield wall. Baldric was curled up on the shelf like bed.

Semi conscious Baldric stirred, her body still aching from the earlier agony inflicted on it. She listened, but didn't turn

"I am not here to hurt you," T'Lar said. Her voice registered in an almost compassionate tone. "I simply have some questions about the other 'me' that…

" So how do we keep that rusty tin can safe - when all she seems to do it get into trouble - or as much as I have seen so far" Marie shrugged - sitting down on the cloud herself and conjuring up a glass of red wine. "Hey - that's kinda cool...you just think it.. and it happens" She took a sip and regarded Patin.

Patin watched the wine appear with quiet amusement, the corner of her mouth twitching upward as Marie realized the Temple answered thought almost as easily as breath. “Careful,” she murmured around the cigar.…

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…
