Greetings, Arawyn Crew!
If we haven’t heard from you in a while, I hope this finds you well. Please let us know your status — we are always happy to help you re-engage in the sim.
As we wrap up our plot for The Displaced, if you are closing out logs connected to that plot, please be sure to post them there. The plot will remain open for a short while as we finish things up. I will be logging soon about the USS Arawyn heading to a planet to enjoy some shore leave.
These in-between periods are an excellent…

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: The Starfall Carnival
Posted on 19 Apr 2026 @ 8:46pm by Lieutenant JG Ryan Collingway
////USS Arawyn///
///Crew Quarters///
The opening ceremonies continued far into the night. When they had wrapped up, Ryan said his goodbyes to Alura, at least for now, and returned back to his quarters. He was pretty sure he was going to sleep like a rock. Fortunately he still had tomorrow off, and no set timeline to wake up.
But after what happened, tomorrow wouldn't compare to the day he had today. Ryan smiled to himself, for once having the sense of home he was sorely missing.
His head went on the pillow, and before too long he was out like…

// Starbase 369 :: Fleet Operations :: Main Conference Room //
The last of the reports concluded with practiced efficiency.
Status updates. Readiness confirmations. Logistics reconciled down to the smallest support craft. It had been a good meeting. Clean. Focused. The kind Sidra preferred.
The large wall displays still held the faces of captains stationed across the sector, some standing on their bridges, others seated in their own ready rooms. A fleet, dispersed yet present.
“Maintain your current readiness posture,” Sidra said, her voice even, carrying easily across the room and through every open channel. “If that changes, you’ll hear…

///Starbase 369///
After getting a tongue-lashing from security over the importance of not losing his communicator, Ryan was issued a new one and resumed his wandering. A few more stores had opened with interesting merchandise. Ryan had fun going through them, but his eyes were also constantly on the clock.
Just before opening ceremony, he and Alura had met at an agreed upon spot. He was holding two servings of ice cream. "The dessert truck is packed," he explained. "I wanted to beat the lineup."
Alura was already half turned toward the growing crowd when she spotted him, eyes bright…

Posted on 19 Apr 2026 @ 3:12am by Lieutenant Commander Grayson McKinney
// Starbase 369 :: Captain McKinney's Quarters :: Late Morning //
The corridor outside his parents' quarters carried a quieter frequency than the Promenade, the station’s hum dropping to a residential register. Civilian insulation, soft overhead lighting, the faint drift of coffee from three doors down. Different territory.
Grayson paused outside the door just long enough to shift his duffel to his left hand.
Then he pressed the chime.
He heard her before the door opened.
A voice, mid-sentence, already present. Not loud—just occupying the space, the way some voices do. His mind did what it always did: classified the…

Posted on 18 Apr 2026 @ 10:48pm by Lieutenant Commander Grayson McKinney
// USS Arawyn :: Senior Officers Mess :: Early Morning //
The Arawyn rested in her docking cradle at Starbase 369 with the quiet, dormant hum of a ship taking a breath.
At oh-seven-hundred, Deck Two carried only the slow, waking vibrations of the morning rotation. The night shift had left their ghosts in the corridors, a mug abandoned by the watch console, the faint trace of someone's coffee in the recycled air, and the day crew had not yet arrived in force to replace them with something louder.
Grayson McKinney walked the corridor with a measured, rolling stride, making…

Lieutenant Jorik's Personal Log, Stardate 242501.27.
I have returned to my quarters aboard the USS Arawyn following an unscheduled encounter planetside. It is approximately one hour since Lieutenant Commander Harlan accepted the provisions I provided and beamed back to the ship. The medical department remains in a state of operational limbo; the Chief Medical Officer and the majority of staff are currently on shore leave, leaving me to monitor routine systems from standby. I have utilized this interval for meditation, though the session was... less productive than anticipated. My thoughts continue to cycle through recent events, requiring active realignment.

Posted on 20 Jan 2026 @ 9:51pm by Lieutenant Commander Elias Harlan
Elias was up early the next morning—freshly showered, uniform crisp, two cups of coffee already down before he left his quarters. The run-in with Jorik still lingered like a low-grade plasma leak, but he pushed it aside. Today wasn’t about old wounds. Today was about the test.
His stride had purpose as he walked the corridors. Junior officers and crew subconsciously parted for him—serious Lieutenant Commander, unknown face, quiet authority that didn’t need words. A couple of ensigns nodded as they stepped off the turbolift he entered; he turned, faced forward, and said simply, “Main Engineering.”
The Excelsior’s engine room…

Posted on 20 Jan 2026 @ 9:50pm by Lieutenant Commander Elias Harlan
Elias sat at the small desk in his guest quarters, nursing his second cup of coffee and staring at the same PADD screen he’d been reading for the last hour without really seeing it. The run-in with Jorik two days ago hadn’t gone as badly as it could have—nobody had ended up in sickbay, nobody had been court-martialed—but it had been tense, raw, and loaded with emotions he had no interest in unpacking right now.
So he’d taken to hiding in his quarters. It was the one place on the Intrepid where Jorik wasn’t likely to appear unless he deliberately…

USS Interpid
En-Route to Lathira IV
Two days had passed since the personnel transfer, and the Intrepid’s corridors felt narrower than usual.
Elias had turned avoidance into an art form. He’d mapped out the ship’s quieter arteries like a man charting escape routes: the lower-deck Jefferies tubes where the lighting was dim and the hum of secondary power systems drowned out footsteps, the auxiliary sensor labs that rarely saw senior staff, the small observation alcove on Deck 12 with a viewport nobody ever used because it faced the warp nacelles instead of stars. He knew every shift change, every patrol…

USS Intrepid
En-Route Lathira IV
Elias Harlan was halfway through his first week aboard the Intrepid, and so far he’d managed to stay mostly out of everyone’s hair.
He kept to guest quarters, the occasional mess-hall run for coffee that was at least drinkable, and the quiet corners of the ship where no one expected him to make small talk. Rebecca had delivered the weekly senior officers’ dinner invite in person, her expression somewhere between sisterly insistence and XO command. Captain Harrington had apparently taken a personal interest—why, Elias couldn’t begin to guess. He’d accepted, figuring refusal would only draw…
