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 Wed Apr 16th, 2025 @ 8:26pm by Lieutenant Commander Oscar McDonald MD & Lieutenant Lanna Alexander
Patience had never been an attribute often associated with Doctor Oscar McDonald. Tonight was no different. With a sigh of frustration he leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes against the raging headache and pinched the bridge of his nose. Hours combing through records, reaching out to contacts at Starfleet medical and contacts elsewhere... nothing had helped him with his private mission.
Namely trying to piece together exactly what had happened to 'Jynx' before - and after - she was rescued by Baciami a few years prior. A rescue she appeared to have no recollection of. According to the…

Mission: Stars Around the Well
Posted on Fri Apr 11th, 2025 @ 3:40pm by Lieutenant Fang Lee & Lieutenant Commander Oscar McDonald MD & Lieutenant Adrianna Baciami & Lieutenant Lanna Alexander
ON:
Fang was the first to arrive at the shuttle bay. He checked the shuttle to make sure all was well and stocked what was needed. Vance arrived second followed by Walker. The men worked side by side to load the shuttle, check the weapons and hazard suits. They waited for the rest of the group. All through it Fang couldn't help but feel like they were going to have a difficult away mission ahead of them.
Adrianna soon arrived with a take out mug of coffee. She'd managed to raid the coffee shop for some real stuff. She was…

ON:
Fang was the first to arrive in the briefing room. Each department had an update and he had all the reports in hand. Now they would set together discuss it all and figure out the next steps. Kerrigan had called the meeting but Fang liked getting there early to acclimate to the room. He also needed a moment. He'd been working non stop and he was exhausted.
Zai's injury had thrown him more then he liked to admit and even though it was fixed as best as can be and he should have been resting Zai had pushed through…

:: Bridge ::
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…

Posted on Sun Dec 29th, 2024 @ 11:06pm by Lieutenant Adrianna Baciami
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…
