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…

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…

Mission: On the Trail
Posted on Sun Jul 6th, 2025 @ 12:19am by Commander Rhupert Tyree & Lieutenant Commander Jayden Meran
Pacing through the familiar corridors of USS Valiant, Rhu greeted various crew members, stopping to chat and get caught up as seemed appropriate. He also was getting his eyes on his ship. When Valiant hopped away to the Yard at Deep Space Five, he stopped into the canteen picking up a brace of betazoid takarian cream doughnut and two cups of coffee from the service, then walked to Jayden’s quarters. Grinning and with hands full, he kicked by way of knocking at the door.
Jayden hadn't really expected anyone. He was still in his uniform when he had a kick…

Dressed in mufti, Rhu wove through the churn of chaos on Empok Nor. Busy like a beehive normally, in the after-affect of the Ashen Hand’s actions, it was more like someone had shaken that beehive. Once they’d established comms and been updated, he’d made the choice to dock the Adelaide and arrange for stores. He needed to check in on the Valiant as the log from his time away was a bit slippery?
Entering the docking bay, he saw Valiant’s normal lines and he stopped to admire his command. She rested on anti-grav fenders with tractoring hawsers securing her in…

Walking into the lounge, Rhu moved toward one of the ovens. Opening it, he waived away the steam that escaped then grabbed mitts and deposited the casserole on the counter. He ducked back into the oven, pulling out a round casserole sitting it next to the other.
Eyeing the latter, he took a knife, cutting the asparagus mushroom strata in pie slices before her turned to what had been labeled a Tater Tot bacon casserole, which he cut into squares. Taking two squares of the latter (previously the former) he made way to the, communal table. Balancing his plate, he…

After the communal dinner was over and everyone had gone off to whatever they had planned for the evening, Kat was left to go back to what she referred to as her office. In truth, it was where she kept a computer, a table for working on clean projects, and room for whatever else she might need for minor repairs. Clean repairs. She used a section of the cargo bay for anything dirty or messy.
Kat had only one thing in mind: practice. She'd been doing so for a while, but now that they were on the Adelaide, it was…

As Kat expected, there was nothing along the side and back walls--she checked. So, she went back to the revolving panel Amy found and began to look at the wall while she waited for Amy to join her. "I won't activate this until you get here. Once we get to the other side, we'll look for a way out there."

Amy pressed almost every inch of the wall where she and Katya were imprisoned. There wasn't any give to the areas where she pressed. She made her way back to Katya. "Okay sadly there wasn't anything I could…

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…
