From 2256 through 2257, a bloody and brutal conflict between two of the galactic powers caused severe fractures in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. With a suturing of peace barely holding it together, the Federation and Klingon Empire face the lingering of threat of the Gorn Hegemony.
Aggressive, cold blooded, and ruthless - The Gorn are what nightmares are made of. They've infested the Beta Quadrant and have clawed their way deeper into the Alpha Quadrant. With the assault on Parnassus Beta, a Federation colony in 2259, war seems inevitable.
With her Captain missing in action, command of the USS Arcadia falls upon a newly minted First Officer, Lieutenant Commander Kelly Kerrigan. Under his command the crew of the Arcadia are on a five-year mission of bridging relationships within the Federation and her broader allies, strengthening defenses, providing aid and relief to worlds hit the hardest, and protecting Federation assets at all costs. The USS Arcadia is not a ship of war; it is a ship of peace and a beacon of hope in the abyss.

Mission: Stars Around the Well
Posted on Sun Feb 16th, 2025 @ 7:47pm by Lieutenant Adrianna Baciami & Lieutenant Commander Oscar McDonald MD & Jynx
Early mornings, in that hour or two before the ship seemed to come alive, were perhaps his favourite time of the day. If, of course, he was forced to choose. Why? Quite simply for the peace. A few early risers may be spending some quality time in the gym or indulging in a lazy start to the day, or enjoying some time with their significant other… or whatever else this crew did in their free time.
Either way it meant relatively abandoned corridors for his walk to Sickbay. Which meant no forced pleasantries, no pretending it was going to be…

Mission: Stars Around the Well
Posted on Sat Feb 15th, 2025 @ 11:51pm by Lieutenant Adrianna Baciami
The Pendragon's engines hummed softly as Adrianna moved through the dim corridors of the stolen freighter. The crew had been hard at work stripping the ship for parts, their voices echoing faintly through the bulkheads. After their recent double-cross, the mood was tense but focused– every scrap they could salvage meant the difference between survival and actually getting home to Freecloud.
Adrianna wiped sweat from her brow and crouched to examine a set of smuggler’s hatches along the lower deck. The freighter’s design was familiar to her, and she knew these hidden compartments often contained something valuable– or incriminating. She…

Adrianna slumped into the worn-out chair of her Freecloud safehouse, wincing as she peeled off her jacket. Her arms bore fresh bruises, and a thin cut traced the curve of her jaw. The smuggling run with Vance had gone sideways—again. Yet, despite the danger, she couldn’t deny the rush that came with it. The way he had pulled her behind cover when the deal turned sour, the way he had shielded her. It was too much, and she knew it.
The comm screen flickered to life, bathing the dimly lit room in cold blue light. Her handler’s face appeared, sharp…

The Pendragon shuddered violently, throwing Adrianna against the bulkhead as a deafening metallic groan echoed through the ship. The lights flickered, then died, plunging the ship into total darkness. The emergency lighting sputtered briefly before failing altogether, leaving only the faint red glow of the exit signs to mark the corridors.
“Adrianna?” Vance’s voice called from behind her, strained but steady.
“I’m here,” she answered, after cursing a few times under her breath, her breathing coming fast as she pushed herself upright.
“We need to get to the bridge. This thing’s cutting through us like paper,” he ordered, “we need…

Vance leaned back in his chair, a faint grin tugging at his lips as he rolled his shoulders finally relaxing for the day. “You know, I think I’ll miss the ladders when I’m done in engineering. There’s something about climbing up there, feeling the height, the rush of it. And the view…” he shook his head as if savouring the memory, “standing above it all, looking down at the warp core humming away and seeing everything in motion– it’s incredible. It’s like being at the heart of the ship.”
He glanced at Adrianna, expecting her to be rolling her eyes…

The sterile smell of disinfectant stung Adrianna’s nose as her eyelids fluttered open. Her vision blurred at first with a slight vignette, but gradually, the harsh white of the hospital room came into focus. A dull, aching throb radiated through her body, and she tried to move, only for a sharp pain in her ribs to stop her short.
Quickly looking up from a silent prayer, Tanina gasped, finally seeing Adrianna awake. "Amore mio, stay still," came her mother’s voice, soft yet trembling. Tanina sat by her bedside, her face pale, her eyes rimmed with red as though she hadn’t…

Adrianna Baciami stepped off the shuttle and into the heart of Freecloud’s chaos. Neon lights flickered against the perpetual twilight, holographic advertisements competing for attention amid the throng of smugglers, traders, and information brokers. It was a world far removed from Starfleet’s order and ideals– exactly the kind of place she needed to be.
She adjusted her jacket, a plain but expensive-looking piece that suited her cover as Adrianna Reggimi, a skilled translator and negotiator for hire. Rumours had already been started in anticipation for her arrival to help her. This mission was her first real test since graduating from…

Adrianna had always known Constantine’s charm could get him into trouble, but this time, it had gone too far. During their time as cadets at Starfleet Academy, Constantine had been running an illegal poker game with a group of other cadets. It was harmless enough at first, but when he decided to cheat to win, things turned dangerous. Adrianna wasn’t part of the said game, but she found herself caught in the aftermath when she stumbled upon Constantine outside one of the maintenance bays, surrounded by three furious cadets. Their shouts echoed off the bulkheads, each accusation sharpening her focus…

***A While Ago***
Adrianna’s suicide mission had worked. Getting a warlord killed had turned the tide of the conflict, and Starfleet, recognising her sacrifice, was already arranging a new position for her once she recovered. She would serve as a communications officer– perhaps even head of department– on a starship to be assigned after her convalescence. For now, she was left to heal, both from the physical wounds that had nearly claimed her life and the deeper scars that losing Vance had carved into her soul.
Adrianna’s first Christmas without Vance was spent in his small cabin in Alaska. The…

The testing chamber was a sterile, unyielding space of polished steel and harsh lights. Adrianna Baciami stood at its centre, her posture straight, her expression calm. Above her, in the observation room, the air bristled with tension. Commander Thal’var stood rigidly by the control panel, his antennae twitching with anticipation. Beside him, Lieutenant Commander Maren Whitlock, Assistant Head of Starfleet Intelligence, regarded him with sharp, sceptical eyes.
“This one won’t break,” Thal’var said quietly, more to himself than to her.
Whitlock’s lips curled in a faint, humourless smile. “You said the same about Jal Arven,” she replied, her voice edged…
