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.

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…
» Unrest in Antica. StarFleet issues navigational warning for Sector 500.
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,…

Previously on the Alice - Tavana/KalaFranks trudged. It was one of the better things he was good at it. He was a large man and moving through the small companion ways and compartments of yet another POS tramp freighter had him dully thinking about his life choices.
But only for a moment. There was work to do and his work was to keep an eye on the new crew. Disco was monitoring the engine space, the heart of the ship while he wandered and made sure the new little idiots pulled their weight. Grunting to himself as he reached the…

Previously... Humming slightly, Brexis looked at the two then down to the latinum and then back up again. "Hmm. Group causing trouble. But not a local bunch you seek, yes? Just one that is reaching out. Hmm. Maybe the Ashen Hand is who you are looking for? Pirates they are called and call themselves. You look Federation and they are a Federation plague. Or see themselves so. By your own words, you think they are not their own true masters?" Reaching down, Brexis scooped the first pile of money his way. Then looked the Trill and quiet one over, then…

Amy needed to get herself more involved with the crew of the Valiant. After being on her own for a little while, Amy felt that it was time to get to know her fellow crew members. She'd spoken to Rhu, Katya, one on one but the rest she only met them via the group gathering at Never Winters. Amy scrolled through the manifest, her search pausing on one, a returning member of the crew. The chief of Security, Lieutenant Kolan.
Rising up from the small chair she had in her quarters, Amy left and headed to Kolan's quarters and pressed…

ON
Katya walked through the ship, humming softly to herself as she listened to the sounds of the Valiant. She was still getting familiar with the air filtration system, the power conduits, and the various other noises that indicated the ship was performing well. Each ship had its own quirks and its own voice. The more she walked around, the more familiar they became.
She was passing security when she realized she had yet to meet the chief. She stopped, turned around, and walked in, hoping that the lieutenant had a few minutes to chat.
Tavana was aware of the…

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…

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…
