The 12 years following the close of the Dominion War were among some of the most peaceful and prosperous years the Alpha Quadrant had seen in centuries. Slowly, industry had begun to thrive again and trade routes renewed the hope of normalcy returning to life. At the forefront of the recovery, the Federation dedicated itself to a new era of peace and exploration and returning to its core principles.
The hope of a lasting age of peace came crashing down at the close of 2387 with the tragic destruction of Romulus at the hand of a deadly supernova. The disaster sent ripples of fear and uncertainty through the quadrant. Now, the peace and prosperity of the last decade are threatened by factions rising from the ashes of the Romulan Empire, familiar foes rearing their ugly heads and new enemies creeping from the shadows. With dangerous and uncertain times on the horizon, the Alpha Quadrant needs a beacon of hope more than ever.
The crew of the USS Nimitz, armed with the most advanced ship Starfleet has ever built, have been charged with safeguarding the future of the Alpha Quadrant and carrying forward the mission of the Federation: to seek out new life and new civilizations and bold go where no one has gone before...

On behalf of the command staff, and to all the awesome players here, I want to wish you all a very happy new year 2012! I know I've been largely absent for the last couple of months, and I do sincerely apologize for my lack of presence in the game, and to those few of you waiting on me to add to posts. I look forward to January, and getting back into the swing of things again with all of you.
Best wishes and happy new year to you and yours,
Delon

Annnnnd we're off!
Please make sure you read the Mission Notes (on the page where you post the mission entries) as it explains the goals and breakdown of stuff going on in this episode. Remember that we're using the new posting system, so this episode will only run between 30 and 50 posts before we close it and move on to the next section of the mission.
If there are questions, please let me know. If not, let's see those posting fiends start doing what they do best!

Hello all!
After many years (...apparently I'm getting old...) the murderous, ill-tempered, berzerk Marine Porter Wallace is returning to the simm in a whole new role. As your loving, caring Chief Counselor. He's here for your mental health, and he will take no prisoners...
I look forward to writing with you all!
David (the other one/new one/old one depending on your point of view)

Yes, you read that post correct.
A few weeks ago, Del and Nikki came to me with an idea to change things up a little bit ... or a lot. In order to properly, accurately and realistically tell Sirta's sub-story, we had to make some changes. Effective immediately, Del is moving back to Chief Operations Officer and Nikki is moving in to the role of XO with a new character.
We'll be taking a little bit more time to get Nikki's new character into the flow (and let people continue to work their own little stories during shore leave) before starting the new mission. I want to thank Del for the time he spent as the XO and all of those late night conversations about all things RL and IC and I'm looking forward to the same with Nikki now too!
Any questions, let me know.
David

You all may have seen or realized from my recent post that I'm back again. Looking for anyone that wants to do a joint post or has an idea for something that I could be doing constructively. Just let me know and I'll try and stay on top of it as much as I can.

A low, constant murmur filled the Observation Lounge as Daniël tiredly rubbed his eyes. Around him crew members bustled about coordinating the relief efforts between the many ships up here in orbit and with the ground. In addition, the diplomats were inquiring - and being inquired - about the…

Narie’s star threatened the horizon with an orange glow. Fires from wrecked buildings, however, still littered the pre-dawn haze with an eerie flickering light viciously cutting away the charm a dawn would normally bring. The whole scene reminded Byzas Valeo (NPC) of some hellish nightmare. It almost seemed too amazing…

"Shh." Nadae (NPC) held her finger up to her lips again. She, Byzas Valeo (NPC), and Jiran (NPC), stood quietly in the rubble covered chamber listening. All three of them glistened with sweat and dust covered them so completely that they looked like three clay Romulans.

The surge of patients had passed, and medical staff had treated the most life threatening or potentially life threatening conditions. Now they had a chance to review medical files in more depth. The Nimitz, as an experimental test-bed, had recently been outfitted with a large-scale dermal regenerator. While the…

The sun drooped toward the horizon. It seemed weary of the days work and just wanted to rest. Lights set around the rescue area began to flicker to life to carry on the work that the sun wanted to abandon. Wallace sat on a low wall, his arms resting on…

Everyone is talking about the Remans like they're some sort of demons. I guess they kind of look like the atravadeen spooks in one of those holonovels I had when I was kid, but I'm sure those weren't based on the Remans. Were they? No, probably not. More than anything,…

I suppose I misunderstood the counselor at the Academy when she said I might expect to see Major Wallace again soon. Maybe my own hopeful mind invented the idea. All the same, just knowing he is out there somewhere-- alive! Maybe it's best I couldn't find him. There's no telling…

Holding a tablet pad on his lap, the quiet sound of the small shuttle was soothing. Not even the two pilots up front were randomly conversing. Looking down at the pad, Jonathan tapped the console next to him and the rear compartment closed off from the "cockpit" area.

Well, we're back. What was supposed to be a routine, well, as routine as any mission can be in the current crisis situation, a routine mission turned out to be a rescue mission, with an added possible 'first-contact'.
First the positives. We've saved the whole crew of the So'jar.…
