» 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…

Mass prisoner escape on Federation Penal Colony, Vinderous III.
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,…

For the Secretary
Fleet Secretary Jhue is pleased to announce that the Admiralty and his office have accepted an offer by the People of Betazoid to Adopt the USS Valiant.
“Since her launch, a large majority of Valiant’s crew have ties to Betazoid and she has proven herself capable through adversity in the short time she’s been back in service under Captain O’Donnaghue. They’ve rescued unique species from extinction and handled terse diplomatic situations, showing dogged determination to meet expectations of Member worlds of the Federation. As such,…

Posted on Wed Feb 12th, 2025 @ 6:54pm by Commander Rhupert Tyree & Commander Daynah Ral & Lieutenant Tavana Kolan, Daughter of Kretorg
It had not been an easy six months for Tavana and she was glad that it was over. But she would do it all over again regardless of the personal heartache she went through when the Ambassador was murdered, or when two of the Valvidean friends she made got killed in a pirate attack. It just strengthened her resolve to assist the Valvidaens and use the experience she had gained on the D'ama and VaQbach to repel the pirates and pass on the skills to the Valvidaens.
The Valiant had already been docked at Empak nor when she arrived. She…

Nob was holding court. He sipped at a fine (at least his last victims had thought it so) Betazoid wine. He didn’t necessarily like the wine, but thought the faintly luminescent violet matched his stolen finery. He was dressed in a tailored suit of clothes he’d taken as payment at a card game.
It almost fit like it had been made for him. The cuffs were a little short and the open seam at the neck rode up his paunch of a stomach. But he was pleased with the look and made sure none of his crew disagreed with him.…

Sitting in front of her console, Amy was reading the date that was streaming in. Bits and pieces from the areas around Empok Nor and other parts of the quadrant happening, then something caught her eyes which made them widen. It happened to be some suspicious movement. Tapping her combadge she sent out a call to Rhu and Daynah.
"Commander Tyree, and Commander Ral Please meet me in the Intelligence Office please, there is something you need to see." her voice filled with urgency. Walking over to the area, her heart beating rapidly.
Daynah had been on the Bridge reading…

Katya spent some of her free time going through the ship's database. If she was going to help with intelligence, she needed to be able to defend herself. While she'd done well in the Academy, it wasn't enough for the new focus of the Valiant. She wanted something more. Something she could adapt to her own skill set and be...unexpected. So, she continued to look at different types of martial arts--most of which needed more time and patience than she wanted to give right now. She'd probably pick one and train on the holodeck, but it would be a…

Outside of her department, the person she would work with the most was the first officer. And while she knew that a good working relationship was based on Katya's ability to do her job efficiently and effectively, she also knew that first impressions mattered. Especially after she looked over the commander's personnel file. Katya wasn't so sure what her first impression the night before had been, but she hoped that her second impression would make up for any problems she may have caused herself.
She dressed in a comfortable pair of coveralls with plenty of pockets for her tools,…

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…
