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 :)

» Rain Over Ashalla

Mission: For Bajor!
Posted on Sun Oct 12th, 2025 @ 1:34am by Lieutenant Commander Bonnie "Bon-Bon" Durnell

The capital of Ashalla wept. Rain poured down in steady, silver sheets, washing soot from rooftops and whispering against the city’s ancient stonework. It was the first true storm in months — a sound Vekar Dane had not planned to hear again so soon.

Deep beneath the city, in a bunker of pale stone and black steel, Vekar Dane sat before a wall of holo-screens of Deep Space Nine rotated slowly — taunting him. The feeds displayed Deep Space Nine’s status reports, weather telemetry, and rows of financial projections now rendered meaningless by the downpour. He watched the blue lines…

Posted on Fri Oct 10th, 2025 @ 3:11pm by Commander Rosa Coy

The last of the holographic opponents dissolved into pale motes of light, leaving Rosa standing in the center of the training mat. Her chest rose and fell in tight, clipped breaths. Sweat ran in rivulets down her neck, darkening the collar of her black tank. Her knuckles throbbed, skin red and raw even through the protective wraps. The silence after combat was almost deafening — the crowd that had gathered drifted away in twos and threes, murmuring about her speed, her ferocity, her refusal to quit.

But not all of them left.

Sira lingered at the edge of the mat,…

Master Satellite Warden

Yitka dove into the mess the saboteurs had left, grumbling the whole way. Burnt relays, crossed wiring harnesses, half a console jury-rigged with chewing gum logic—he clicked his tongue like a disappointed schoolmaster. “Sloppy, sloppy. If you’re going to break the Wardens, at least do it with a little artistry,” he muttered, yanking out the black box and tossing it aside like spoiled fruit.

The next half-hour was a blur of muttering and mayhem. Yitka was on his back under the console, boots kicking as sparks rained. Then up on a ladder, elbow-deep in wiring, singing an…

INFIRMARY

Within the dark walls of the DS9 station infirmary, the medical team worked their magic, repairing broken bodies. Baldric was stabilised but remained for monitoring while her burns and concussion were treated. Kit was also stable. Dean's life hung in the balance, awaiting a life-saving blood transfusion from Commander Ramthorne.

Back in the depths of the Infirmary, the medical team was assessing how much blood Dean would need. "400ml, possibly more" was the final decision as they eyed Jenna. "We'd need to start her on plasma to rebuild her blood volume," another doctor added, "oral electrolytes as well to…

Mission: Character Development
Posted on Thu Oct 9th, 2025 @ 8:55pm by Commander Rosa Coy

The deck plates groaned beneath her as Rosa pivoted back into stance. Sweat dripped into her eyes, blurred her vision, but she blinked it away. The first of the two holo-opponents—massive shoulders, ridged brow—was already circling. The other flanked to the right, quick for his size.

They knew how to box her in.

Rosa let her breath steady, controlled, body rocking with the loose swagger of drunken boxing. Arms low, hands open, inviting. The stance wasn’t about elegance; it was about deception. About making her enemies underestimate her until it was too late.

The one on the right lunged first,…

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…

Posted on Sun Aug 10th, 2025 @ 3:19am by Ensign Kitiuas Thenis ie-Jia'anKahr

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…

Alright, here it is. Quinn's final request before I ship out. A personal log. I’ve never seen the point of one of these. My memory is, and always has been, perfect. But I obliged. As I always do with him.
I'm packing now. Or, what passes for packing. The reality modulator is humming, folding my few possessions into pocket-sized singularities. A few tools, my meditation sphere, the memories. The memories are what feel heaviest.
It's strange, but the thought of this new post on the Sunfire brings everything back to the beginning. Or, rather, the end. My end. I still…


» New posting for an old Man

Posted on Sat Aug 9th, 2025 @ 4:00pm by Lieutenant JG Ngaza

Personal Log, Stardate 49011.4
Admiral Quinn asked for a favor, and I've accepted. He feels I'm the right fit to serve aboard the USS Sunfire, an Akira-class vessel. They're short two officers: a Strategic Operations Officer and an Assistant Chief Engineer. Given my skills, the operations post is the natural choice.
The Sunfire is currently en route, and I'm to meet them at Deep Space 9. I've always admired the Akira-class design—sleek, powerful, and built for a fight. Serving on one, even temporarily, is a welcome opportunity. I’ve packed my gear and am looking forward to the challenge. I'll make…
