Hailing Frequencies Open
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.

A contemplative silence had fallen, punctuated as two whisky glasses were set down on the table before each one was filled to a respectable measure and then - after a moments thought - topped up further. Setting aside a bottle which was certain not to survive the night, Oscar handed…

Calliope entered the shuttle bay early. She'd been in there, in fact, an hour. All her modifications were checked and checked out. She'd contacted a few fellow Engineers, the ones she spoke to, and had some ideas with the Gorn Coms station.
Wiping the sweat off her brow she…

Jarin considered himself lucky to be stationed on the same ship as his wife and their son. It wasn’t often that families were kept together in Starfleet. “What do you want to do today, Lanna?” He asked as he brought their breakfast to the table.

Calliope sat inside the dark shuttle on the floor looking around her. Tomorrow they would head out to Gorn territory and that was frightening…or at least it should be. Calliope felt nothing, no fear, no anticipation, just a blissful numbness, one that always came at the end of change,…
