Podcast-Style Summaries Now on YouTube


Not an official podcast, not something heavily produced, but some of you already know from Discord that I’ve been experimenting with an AI-generated, podcast-style summary of our sim logs. I have no plans to do formal sim reports or weekly summaries, but I find this format fascinating. It’s quick for me to produce and may help anyone who’s struggling to keep up with the flow of posts.



There are no posting minimums here, and if anyone ever needs a hand getting re-engaged, please let me know. My plan is to share these every other week,…

» Assignment: Arawyn completed

Posted on 18 Aug 2025 @ 2:43pm by Captain Sabrina Corbin in General News

=/\= News from the USS Arawyn =/\=

Exciting times aboard the USS Arawyn! We’ve officially wrapped up our inaugural mission,
Assignment: Arawyn, with an impressive 43 mission posts and 6 personal logs.
That’s a strong start and a testament to the creativity and energy of this crew.

Now it’s time to cast off the docking clamps and chart our course into the stars with our
first full plot: Fractured Accord. A dedicated wiki has been posted to track this mission,
and it will continue to grow as you bring the story alive through your posts.

» Fractured Accord – Coming Soon

Posted on 16 Aug 2025 @ 4:48am by Captain Sabrina Corbin in Sim Announcement

Epsilon Fleet Command has given the USS Arawyn her first true test: a convoy escort into the disputed Tavrik system. On the surface, the assignment is routine — safeguard three science and terraforming vessels on their journey to Tavrik III and provide protection while critical upgrades are made planetside.

But the Tavrik region is anything but routine. Rival factions stake claims, colonists clash over Federation presence, and the balance between diplomacy and disaster hangs by a thread.

Launching soon, Fractured Accord will take the Arawyn and her crew into contested space, where trust is fragile, tensions are high, and the…

Don’t mind the dust, things are still coming together around here.

The Arawyn is officially open for business (or mischief, depending on your department). If you've found your way to this message, congratulations, you've got a head start on the rest of the crew. That means it’s time to polish those boots, dust off those pips, and report in. We’re building something special, and your character might just be the chaos catalyst, or the voice of reason, this Sovereign-class beauty needs.

Until then, poke around, make yourself at home, and if you break anything, well, just say Ops was already…

Mission: After Tarvik
Posted on 03 Nov 2025 @ 10:27pm by Lieutenant Lelina Evans & Captain Sabrina Corbin

///USS Arawyn////
///CO's Office///

Lelina made sure her engineering uniform was professionally cleaned of any dirt or grease stains before she set foot upon her potential new ship. From what she had heard, they had recently lost their CEO due to a medical emergency and everyone else was too new to fill those shoes. Fortunately she had been looking for a transfer off her own ship, as that CEO seemed cushioned in his role, which meant any advancement seemed unlikely.

But with the change, came the same old tired rituals she had to do. Starting with the fact that her…

// Starbase 369 – Steep Space Tea House //

The turbolift eased to a stop at the promenade level, and Captain Sabrina Corbin stepped out into the soft hum of midday traffic. The flow of civilians and off-duty officers parted easily around her, a quiet current of motion beneath the station’s steady pulse. Her padd rested in one hand, thumb tracing absently across the profile displayed there.

Commander Suzanna Batenburg.

Corbin had read the file three times between the Arawyn and the station. It told her almost nothing about the woman herself, only the outline of a story shaped by…

Mission: After Tarvik
Posted on 02 Nov 2025 @ 11:04pm by Vice Admiral Sidra MacLaren & Captain Sabrina Corbin

// Fleet Commander’s Office - SB 369 //

The doors parted, and Sabrina stepped inside.

The room was unmistakably the Admiral’s, austere, yet deliberate in every choice. The curve of the viewport cast pale light across the floor, catching the gleam of a mounted Bat’leth on the left wall. Sabrina wondered about that, the history, the meaning of it, and whether the Fleet Commander would ever open the door to such a discussion. Across from it, the model of the USS Archer caught the same light, its Sovereign-class lines cold and precise. Between them, the space carried the weight of…

=/\= Science Labs =/\=

The ship was about to dock at Starbase 369, and Lt Cmdr Sorvak was making final rounds through the science department — one last inspection before their arrival.

The samples collected on Tarvik III were neatly organized and properly tagged for transfer. Sorvak paused at the containment chamber that held the nanobots recovered after the buoy explosion. The stasis field shimmered faintly around them. They were inert now — no longer a risk to the ship — but Sorvak would not rest easy until they were safely offloaded to the base’s quarantine facility.

Tricorders were stacked…

// Bridge - USS Arawyn //

The stars thinned to points as the Arawyn dropped from warp, the unmistakable form of Starbase 369 rising to meet them, a towering mushroom of duranium and light suspended against the dark. Its broad upper saucer gleamed like a city, the curved stem tapering toward a smaller operations tier where more progress had clearly been made on the once-unfinished decks. Around the behemoth drifted a constellation of saucer-shaped docking platforms, each linked by long, enclosed corridors. The auxiliaries were large in their own right; some frontier stations were smaller than these subsections of Three…

The corridor appeared to be empty. Ryan gripped his phase pistol tightly. He could hear the sound of pounding in the distance. “That seal isn’t going to hold for long.”

They soon arrived at a break in the passageway, going to the left and right. “Which way?’” Ryan whispered. “There are escape pods on either side.”

“Let me check out the right,” Mendon said. “Stay here.”

Ryan nodded. “Be careful,” he said, and watched him disappear into the darkness.

“Ryan!” one of the engineers hissed. Ryan turned to the left, and for the first time in his…

OOC: Fairly large log, so split into two parts

“All hands, this is the Captain. Docking complete. Shore leave is authorized for forty-eight hours. Department heads coordinate coverage and readiness reports before departure. You’ve all earned the time," the Captain said over the com.

Commander Boren had remotely decided who would go when, and Ryan’s turn had been selected first. He left the Arawyn, feeling a strange sense of…relief? It was hard to describe what he was feeling. Nor did he know what to do with his free time. While he wasn’t one to indulge in drinking, he…

OOC: Takes place a month before reassignment to the USS Arawyn.

---Earth, San Francisco---
---Counselor's Office----

Ryan entered the counselor's office, on time as scheduled. The counselor in question, Doctor Jenzen Poliski, was an elderly man in his seventies. The counselor had wanted to call him JP. It didn't stick.

"Hello, Ryan," Jenzen greeted. "Come on in. Would you like coffee? Tea?"

"Sure," Ryan said. Truthfully, he didn't want either. But he knew how this worked. Give the counselor what he wanted, and he could leave faster. "Tea would be good."

Jenzen poured a cup, and put the tea in.…

» An Excerpt from My Journal

Posted on 07 Sep 2025 @ 9:21pm by Crewman Clara Barton

I’ve finally gotten back to journaling after embarking on what will probably be the most stupendous experience of my life. The words on this page are for my eyes only, and somehow it centers me to get my thoughts down on paper. And yes, I’m still old school, writing in cursive with pen and ink just as I’ve been doing since childhood. Back in my pre-pubescent days, it was a “Dear Diary” sort of thing jotted down in a little pink book with a lock that anyone could pick with a safety pin. By high school, diaries had graduated to…

=/\= Captain’s Quarters =/\=

The final items in the crate were a set of leather-bound journals filled with unlined linen paper. Three were in various states of use, their corners soft, spines creased, and certain pages dog-eared to mark their importance. All three were full. The fourth was new, its leather unmarred, the pages blank, though she suspected the first entry would be written tonight.

Beside them was a small bundle of pens: black ink rollerballs in her preferred 0.7mm size. Not fancy, but they wrote cleanly, and she liked the way they moved across linen paper. She had once…
