Displays across the quadrant are interrupted by feedback for a fifteen seconds, then a rippling white flag, with a fanged and horned skull over a blood red disc appeared.

“Hello Federation dogs and their puppets. I’m looking at you Cardassia and the so called Klingon Empire. We are the Ashen Hand and by now you know we are responsible for the love taps on Empok Nor. That’s just the start. The Federation is a fractured entity, no longer able to keep the peace within their borders and their citizens are disillusioned with the status-quo. The Ashen Hand is change my…

Breaking News. Terror Attacks on Empok Nor.
By Amelen Fong, Federation News Service.

Un-Officially, the death toll stands at forty three with nearly a hundred more injured and another hundred listed as missing. The primary explosion occurred at the newly launched evening dance club called Neverwinter Nights. The popular venue was at its maximum capacity at the time of the explosion.

The night club wasn’t…

Posted on Mon Dec 23rd, 2024 @ 4:44pm by Commander Rhupert Tyree in General News

By Tricia Takenawa, Independent News Service.

Two days ago, Starfleet Command through the Federation Bureau of State issued a travel warning for Sector 500, specially the transit lanes around Antica space as unrest on the Federation member world grows.

In the past month, a separatist movement calling itself the Ashen Hand has taken responsibility for a number of fire bombing incidents on Antican worlds and today, a rash of fire bombings around the UFP offices on Selay. The Selay and Anticans have a long history of warfare between the species, only finding peace twenty five years ago when both were…

By Amalon Fong, Federation News Service

Federation Officials today issued a BOLO (Be On the Look Out) for nearly five hundred prisoners assigned to the Penal Colony, Vinderous III in the Fure System. In what is listed as the largest mass escape known, the Federation Bureau of Rehabilitation and Restitution issued the laundry list of criminals who, after findings published by the bureau’s Inspector General office, were discovered not where they were supposed to be.

When contacted, the BR&R declined comment.

When asked during the daily briefing in Paris, Nigel Ash,…

It was cold. Rhu’s eyes moved around the barely lit, cramped transport chamber aboard the S.S. Alice, an old and decommissioned freighter that had, in its second life, been a blockade runner during the Dominion War. The Cardassians had captured her and imprisoned the crew.

The Gul’s official report claimed that the Alice must have been on her return leg, because she’d been empty. But Nob claimed she’d been full of various valuable items that had gone missing on the report to Cardassian command.

The Alice had been impounded around the outskirts of the Treadis System, landed on the moon…

A normal evening, like many that had come before but one that would stay with most beings that were passing anywhere near the station. A Shadowy Figure watched from concealment, making sure to be out of any of the station’s security feeds A PADD tracked the beings going in and coming out of Club Neverwinter. The former had been backed up for nearly an hour. If their face could be seen, a disturbing smile would have shown bright.

By their calculation, the club would be at capacity plus. Just over three hundred beings enjoying themselves. Drinking. Dancing.

Grimly, the Shadowy…

The arrival of Daniel,Natasha gave a frown, then turned to Nob, "Sorry for the interruption, you had asked me what I could do for you-" she was interrupted for a second time.

Daniel had two others with him, who stood back but keeping an eye on things while their boss approached, the redhead.

"Natasha, Natasha." he repeated her name once more."

"That's my name don't wear it out.What do you want? I am busy talking with Nob here. Just go away." glaring at Daniel.

Daniel shook his head, "Sorry love, no can do." He looked at Nob.

Harriot, was (and wasn't) looking forward to the next couple of months. Valiant would be entering space dock to have the next round of modifications done to her hull and the Captain and command team, including the department heads wouldn't be going with.

The Yard birds would love that...and Harriet was going to have to be riding them like rented mules to make sure they didn't break her ship while they were upgrading her.

Right now, she was slouched into a beach chair near the personnel ramp, flipping through a reader on current events and waiting for the Valiant's new…

Brexis pulled on the hookah pipe, held the smoke in for a few seconds, then vented it through the secondary duct under his left ear. The Ferengi this Ferengi tobacco was his favorite and he was allowing himself to indulge after a particularly long, but profitable run through Cardassia space. He let more smoke leak from both ducts and his nasal passages, wreathing his head in a fog.
Next came the Andorrian brandy, poured perfectly in the perma-ice tumbler sitting near his elbow and he leaned on an elbow as he looked around the space. Zulg’s wasn’t necessarily his kind…

Captain’s Log, Stardate 298096.73424534505

I’ve split my officer’s into two groups to pursue leads on the Pirates, and more directly their backer. To these ends, Commander Rahl and Lieutenant Meren are to approach the trader, probable smuggler Brexis when they arrive at DS9 in ten days. Their cover is up to them but I’ve made discretionary funds and transport available to them. We’ll see how that goes. Dayna is having a crises of conscious when it comes to working for Fed Intel. Ideals versus work that actually needs to be done. Maybe it was a mistake retaining a Scientist as…

Captain's Log, USS Valiant. Commander Rupert Tyree Commanding.

In pursuant to orders from Vice Admiral Koratt Th’keliss, under the Seal of the President of the Federation, we (USS Valiant and crew) have ben seconded to Federation Intelligence and ordered into Delaxian space (Spaniard, 2487 Beta Quadrant) to find and hunt down a pirate group working the shipping lanes there.

However, our mission is not to simply end the pirate threat, but rather hunt down people backing the pirates as it seems they have top notch ships and are well crewed. To that, both SI and FI haven't been able to…

The Valiant, in all her glory, sat in her berth at DS9. After the mess with the Lemures, Rianna was still smelling the residual odor left behind. No matter what she did, or used, the stench was still there. Could it be that it was all made up in her mind? Sure but why? Curtis had been busy as always so it left her to tinker with the engineering systems of the Valiant. Rianna wanted to make the Defiant class go just a tad faster than the normal specs allowed, so she had to do several new computations of variances…

“We’re ten hours outside of Valdivae and I can’t say I’m sorry to be gone from the place. The mission with Ambassador Telford was a cluster from he get-go and it’s done damage to the integrity of the crew.

First and foremost, of course, is the Death of the Ambassador at the hands of former Chief Operations Officer, Lieutenant Day Smith who is currently ensconced in Valiant’s brig pending turn over to Starfleet Security on DS9.

Joining her in the cells is Ensign Shen Gan’Agar who according to evidence provided by our cook, Ainsley Shaw, assisted Smith. Now, Ms. Shaw…

Personal Log, Lieutenant T'Pel

I have received permission to disembark Starbase 1 for my new assignment to the USS Valiant as Assistant Chief of Operations. It has been nearly twelve years since my last starship assignment and I am pleased with the orders upon their arrival.

My time aboard Starbase 1 has been enlightening. My first interactions with other Humanoid species were not without their faults. I have too often fell victim of the "practical joke". Lieutenant Darren Myers has repeatedly stated that if they did not like me, they would not tease me. It was difficult to see the…
