Posted on 26 Jul 2026 @ 7:08pm by Captain Sabrina Corbin in Sim Announcement
One year ago, we began this journey with a ship, a newly reactivated fleet, and a collection of ideas about the stories we wanted to tell together.
Since then, the USS Arawyn and Epsilon Fleet have grown into something far larger than any single mission or character. We have explored new worlds, negotiated fragile accords, survived temporal displacement, confronted buried histories, celebrated beneath the lights of the Starfall Carnival, and occasionally created problems that Starfleet regulations were never designed to address.
More importantly, we have built a shared universe filled with people who now feel as though they have always…

Time After Time is winding down. I will keep this mission open until next Saturday, August 1. If you have any Time After Time posts, please put them in this mission.
If you have anything else, lets put these posts in 'The Doldrums'. This is more of an intermission 'plot' and there may be things introduced to react to, its a pretty open sand box for character development, doing your own subplots. If your subplot actions affect others, please check with the command team first, but we're pretty open :)

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,…

// Zoology Lab //
“Mike, you look a little thin. Have they been feeding you?” asked Remington, addressing the large snake in the oversized reptile environment.
“We fed him. We had bets on who he’d like best. You couldn’t bet if you wouldn’t feed him,” announced PO Taylor from across the room.
“Oh that’s a clever way to do it. Who thought of that? Casey?” asked Steve.
“Marleta actually,” replied Taylor.
The snake made no move at all, but remained motionless as death, eyes closed. Steve reached into the smaller cage of rat-like creatures and picked up one. “Sorry, buddy.…

[Vhael’Rihan, Praetor’s Estate]
The change in the Praetor was immediate.
The affectionate softness vanished from her features as though someone had stripped away a mask. Her posture remained perfectly composed, but the smile disappeared and her eyes settled upon Rhal with a coldness that made the warmth she had shown Thovek seem almost obscene by comparison. “Rhal,” she said, “you have always possessed a remarkable fondness for dancing dangerously close to the sun.”
Rhal finished the wine remaining in his glass before setting it carefully upon the table. “The sun?” he repeated, rising from his chair. “Have we exhausted Romulan…

Rhal took another measured sip of wine and watched the two of them over the rim of his glass. The display had grown increasingly nauseating, though he concealed his distaste by turning his attention to the fish before him and making a halfhearted effort at eating. He speared small pieces with his fork while the Praetor and Thovek drifted through several minutes of meaningless pleasantries, the sort of conversation diplomats seemed capable of sustaining indefinitely when neither wished to discuss the reason they had actually gathered. Eventually Rhal decided he had endured enough. He pushed the jade…

[Vhael’Rihan, Praetor’s Estate]
Rhal approached with an easy smile of his own. “Nothing so merciful, Praetor. I merely encountered the ancient and apparently insurmountable obstacle of getting dressed.”
Her eyes flicked briefly toward his collar, now mercifully in its proper position, and something amused glimmered behind them. “A difficult campaign, I’m sure.”
“I suffered terribly.”
“I can see that.” She took one of his hands between hers for a moment, an affectionate gesture that would have appeared almost familial to an observer. Her grip was gentle, her smile immaculate, and her eyes utterly unreadable. “Come. You remember Ambassador Thovek, of…

Rhal stepped from the flitter almost as soon as the doors had finished opening, his robes settling around his boots as the cool air rolling off the rivers met him. The marble landing terrace still held some of the day’s warmth beneath his feet, while beyond its balustrade the waters on either side of the island reflected the last amber traces of sunset. Tr’Arhjun followed close behind, though they had gone only a few paces before one of the Praetorial Guards detached himself from the small reception party waiting beneath the colonnade. The officer approached with the…

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.”

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…
