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.

Kelly Kerrigan took the navigator seat after Sebastian vacated it. Not something one would see aboard their sister ship, the Enterprise, but Kelly hadn't earned Captain stripes and the Arcadia was a mess wherever the hell they were. Clearly somewhere that wasn't the afterlife.
"Fang, if you don't have any objection I'd very much like command of my starship back while we still have one" quipped Kelly. He did not blame any of this on Fang. Kerrigan simply wanted to lead his people during this.
He smiled. "Gladly."
"Engineering can handle their mess," he said to the…

ON:
The shaking got a whole lot worse before it got better and stopped. Fang Lee, who'd somehow wound up on the floor, opened his eyes to the flashing red lights and the howling of the Klaxons. He suppressed a groan as he sat up. "Report!"
Near the front of the bridge Sabastian righted himself into the navigation chair, his head spinning. It took a moment but he managed to focus on his instruments. "We're out....My instruments are going crazy, I can't triangulate a position."
Fang sighed as he stood up. He was happy to see Alexander was still in…

ON:
With the captain in Sickbay, and Fang having sent someone to watch over him it was time for them to figure out how to get into a mess they probably should stay out of of. Fang had all hands on deck. He stepped out of the ready room and walked over to helm. He sighed. "Walker when this is over I have to speak to you." He left it at that and walked away over to the big chair.
Sab muttered something under his breath. What could that horse's ... Shaking it off he entered some coordinates on his…

The hum of the Pendragon’s engines resonated through the deck plates, a familiar vibration that settled into Vance’s bones like an old tune he’d long forgotten but never truly lost. The scent of burnt plasma and machine oil lingered in the recycled air, sharp and comforting.
He was home.
He stepped onto the bridge, boots echoing against the worn metal floor. The chairs, the consoles, the overhead displays– everything was just as he remembered and how he had left it. The glow of dimmed control panels cast a flickering light against the bulkheads, and beyond the viewport, the stars stretched…

Adrianna had been walking along the cobbled streets of Rome, having arrived a little later than expected, the evening air thick with the scent of freshly baked bread and the distant hum of street musicians. The city had always felt like nostalgia personified, its winding alleys and ancient ruins offering a comfort she had not realised she still craved. But that comfort shattered the moment she heard a voice– low, familiar, and laced with dangerous intent.
“Reggimi… Baciami.”
She froze.
Turning slowly, she locked eyes with Lutz. He was dressed as he always was– sharp, dark, and deliberate. His stance…

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…
