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…
» 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.

When contacted, the BR&R declined comment.
When asked during the daily briefing in Paris, Nigel Ash,…

Good heavens Disco seemed to be in some bizarre habits. "I've heard of that, but I don't indulge in that. Is that something you are into?" Amy was wishing she had something a bit stronger to make Disco drop to the floor. She may have not made it strong enough. Maybe if he were to drink the bottle meant for Frank. "Oh, it looks like you're almost done with your drink. Care for another?" Amy prepared to slide away out of his possible grab.
"Well, don't mind if I do," Disco half burped as he accepted…

Aboard the Valiant
Valiant lurched.
Which was odd for a ship docked inside a space station's docking bay. Alarms began to drone and automated emergency lights started strobing through the empty decks.
Richard had been familiarizing himself with ship's systems and make a list of improvements to put before the Captain. When the ship lurched, he asked. "Computer what caused the Valiant to lurch?"
"Empok Nor is currently under attack from hostile forces." The computer replied in its normal femenine voice.
His thoughts went to Emily, but he put them aside. "Computer locate Commander Ral and Lieutenant Meran."
"Commander Ral…

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…

Operation Horoscope, to secure alternative transport under the Department of Operational Analysis is complete. The ship is now registered to my Nom de Guerre, Logan Wright as an independent owner. We’ve changed the transponder over and given her a back history running a dozen years, christening her the SS Adelaide, a Federation registered ship
When we run into Nob and his gang again, we’ll have to figure out how to explain it. Things are coming together though.…

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…
