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 :)

» The Virex Binary - V - Departure

Mission: Character Development
Posted on Wed Mar 4th, 2026 @ 2:41am by Commodore S'thenosis Gorgox & Commander Jenna Ramthorne & Commander Rosa Coy

The armistice concluded without ceremony. The Interdependence Accord lay finalized in clear, deliberate language, each clause refined through scrutiny rather than flourish. Representatives of Threxia and Virellon approached in turn and affixed their signatures with disciplined composure. No speeches followed. No applause filled the chamber. The silence that accompanied the final endorsement was not emptiness, but gravity. The cessation of declared hostilities did not feel triumphant. It felt binding.

The delegations withdrew along separate corridors of the observatory, their movements orderly and restrained. Even in peace, they did not converge. Distance, cultivated over cycles of rhetoric and reprisal, lingered in…

Mission: Character Development
Posted on Tue Mar 3rd, 2026 @ 1:45am by Commodore S'thenosis Gorgox

The chamber was slow to empty after the exposure.

Delegates remained seated long after the projections had faded, as though motion itself might confirm what silence had already admitted. The emotional shift was gravitational. Posture softened. Certainty drained. The confidence that had once animated accusation now seemed brittle in retrospect, as if each prior argument had been constructed upon scaffolding no one had inspected too closely.

The observatory continued its quiet work beyond the transparent ceiling. Containment spires held the artificial atmosphere in equilibrium. Within them, Virelli flora converted sterile air into breath. The system neither faltered nor dramatized its…

Mission: Character Development
Posted on Sun Mar 1st, 2026 @ 9:23pm by Commodore S'thenosis Gorgox & Commander Rosa Coy

The Joint Terraforming Observatory had been constructed in a more hopeful era, when Threxian engineering and Virelli bio-science had not yet hardened into rival doctrines. It rested upon a barren moon whose native surface could not hold air, much less sustain life. The atmosphere that now shimmered faintly above its basalt plains was entirely artificial, maintained through a delicate partnership of Threxian containment architecture and Virelli atmospheric flora housed within those structures. Steel and chlorophyll, alloy and engineered respiration, fused into a single ecological system that neither species could sustain alone.

From orbit, the observatory appeared almost symbolic in its…

Counselor T'Lar's Office

T’Lar spent the rest of the shift doing a deep dive on as much biographical information as she could find on Marie Batel, taking a short break for a lunch of plomeek soup. As her official duty hours wound down she elected to take some time for her own mental health once more.

“Computer, re-activate the Auxiliary Counseling Hologram.”

The ACH appeared instantly, frozen in mid sentence seated where he had been previously. He closed his mouth and gave her a disdainful look.

“Counselor…”

“I apologize Counselor… I shouldn’t have deactivated…

Mission: Beholder
Posted on Sun Mar 1st, 2026 @ 10:07am by Captain Rhenora Kaylen

Captain Marie Batel awoke in the dull ambient lighting of sickbay. Being the only patient the lights were dimmed when she sleeping, which was a fair chunk of time as her body readjusted to it's new old state.

'Least they're not sedating me anymore' she mused as she pressed the control to raise the upper portion of the bed into a more upright position. A glass of water and some light snacks sat on a trolley to her right, a trstament to how much strength she had regained in a relatively short period of time. Maybe, just maybe, there'd be…

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…
