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,…

=/\= 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: Arawyn’s Itchy Trigger Finger
Posted on 11 Apr 2026 @ 11:50pm by Captain Sabrina Corbin
// Captain’s Quarters :: USS Arawyn //
The stars stretched clean and white beyond the viewport, long lines of light drawn taut by warp. No horizon. No atmosphere to soften them. Just motion, constant and unrelenting.
Corbin stood before it, one hand wrapped around a ceramic mug, the heat steady against her palm. She had not set it down. Had not forgotten it.
That, in itself, was something.
The quarters were in order. Precisely as they should be. Every surface aligned, every object placed with quiet intention. No evidence of the hours she had spent there without sleep. No evidence…

///Science Lab////
Now that the main problems in Engineering had been fixed, at least to the extent they could be without a Starbase, Ryan's next focus was the other departments.
The main science lab took a significant hit. The first step was removing the debris that had broken Sorvak's back just a few days ago. Then fixing the electrical wiring in the ceiling. Then replacing almost every computer terminal after that. Ryan made a note of everything. The door opened, and Ryan nodded at Commander Batenburg as she entered.
"Commander Harlan is still off-duty," Ryan supplied. "We are starting repairs…

///Mess Hall///
Ryan arrived at the mess hall to grab a plate of food to take back to Engineering-bacon and eggs, from the look of things-when he noticed Nick sitting down at a table. He joined him for a minute. "Hey, Nick. How are things going?" He imagined the counselor was busy with everything going on.
"Oh.... hiya Ryan. How are you holding up?" Nick asked. He was still a bit out of sorts, having spent as much time as possible doing what he could to feel like issues were being handled that sleep was starting to elude him. Going…

The viewport spanned the entire alcove, the stars outside blurring into white and pale blue streaks. Warp speed rushed past, turning Ten-Forward's secluded corner into a theater of motion. The constant movement beyond the glass stood in contrast to the hush in the booth, as if the universe was racing onward while inside, time thickened and slowed. Grayson McKinney sat with his back to the curved bulkhead, one arm draped along the booth's synthetic-leather cushion. His other hand cradled a glass of scotch. The amber drink caught the warp field's blue light, scattering cool shadows and warm gold across the…

///// Bridge /////
Suzanna stood in front of her command chair, Lemina IV was on the view screen, and she still wondered what had happened for it to become so unstable so suddenly.
"Captain, I'm reading increasing pressure in the planet's core. It is rising exponentially now. I do not believe we have a lot of time." Her chief of science reported and put the readings on the view screen.
He was right, she saw and tapped her comm badge, "Batenburg to all hands, EMERGENCY BEAM OUT! Get all crew and as many Leminans as we can fit on 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.”
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…
