Posted on Fri Jul 4th, 2025 @ 11:34pm by Captain Rhenora Kaylen in General News

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 Wed Jan 28th, 2026 @ 4:21pm by Patin

Patin entered the shrine the way weather does, without apology, without intent to harm, carrying consequence in her pockets.

The hour was wrong for visitors. Bajoran shrines preferred witnesses: breath, kneeling, the soft arithmetic of faith. This one had only dust motes and candle smoke doing their slow orbital dance around relics that had learned patience the hard way. The air hummed with the quiet confidence of things that believed they would never be touched again.

Patin tilted her head, listening. Not praying. Listening. There was a difference, and the room felt it.

Her fingers brushed a relic, no reverence,…

Mission: Beholder

The ship shifted as the gravimetric waves washed over the ship, a subtle movement. It was no longer imperceptible but still not significant.

"Where are those gravimetric waves originating from?" The Captain asked as the Sunfire slid into orbit, her warp engines restine whilst the ship maintained a synchronous rotation with the planet below.

Kit frowned "If the sensors are correct, through the Beholder." Just as she finished giving her comment her console pinged; the data she had requested on Krulmuth-B portal as well as the Time Ziggurat. She was working on a possible solution to their problem.

Bonnie glanced…

Mission: Character Development
Posted on Mon Jan 19th, 2026 @ 1:30am by Patin

The jungle never pretended to give privacy. It offered cover, not silence, layers of sound instead of walls, a thousand living things speaking at once so no single voice could pretend it was alone. Heat pressed in gently but insistently, damp air clinging to skin, to breath, to thought. Zio sat on a fallen log darkened by age and moss, rifle broken down across her knees, the metal warm where the day had touched it. The smell of oil mixed with loam and crushed leaves, sharp and grounding, a scent that had followed her through decades of surviving. She cleaned…

Dean lead or rather, escorted Jennifer off of the Trubolift, down the curling corridor to his quarters. Once inside, calling for the lights to come on. She knew his quarters and where things were and should know that she had free reign to every part of it. "Should we take a shower? I promise no hanky panky. I just figure you want to wash the stench of Coy off, I probably smell also."

She hesitated for a moment before nodding, not trusting herseld or her judgement at this point. Coy was 'unhinged' to put it mildly, and the straighty 180…

The air felt wrong before the storm announced itself.

Zio noticed it the way she noticed everything else, not as a single sign, but as a stack of small betrayals. The humidity pressed heavier against her skin, turning sweat slick and insistent. The birds called too often, overlapping, correcting themselves mid-note. Even her prosthetic leg resisted a fraction longer than usual when she shifted her weight, the internal stabilizers compensating for ground that had begun to soften before the rain arrived.

It’s coming, she thought, adjusting her pace without signaling the change. And it’s watching.

She stopped at the edge…

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…

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…
