Welcome to the USS Washington-E!
Welcome to the USS Washington-E, a post-Dominion War sim. The year is 2386. The Dominion War has been over for several years, but its aftermath is still unfolding. The Federation and the Romulans are the only two major powers, and only the Federation is stable, to a point. The Klingon Empire is still rebuilding and addressing its many wounds from the war, Cardassia is in shambles and occupied, and the Romulans are in far worse shape because of their own misdeeds than they would have outsiders believe. The Federation is now the lone superpower in the Quadrant, a role it neither wants nor enjoys. Exploration has returned, but the dangers of space have never been more pronounced. Welcome to the USS Washington, where danger and adventure lurk around every corner.

November has come and gone, and as is normal with the holiday season starting, it slowed up our posting. I totally understand why things slowed though. As we enter December and the heart of the holidays, I know we all will spend more time with family, but I hope you will all have some fun writing here as well. Below you will find the November Awards. I congratulate our winners and wish them luck as they represent the ship at the fleet level.

Trick or treat! Well, that was a few days ago, but yes, October is over, so time to look at the month and discuss what we all did. Honestly, it was a solid month. The current mission has a fun and interesting main story, and the undercurrent subplot has been equally as interesting, as they seem to be naturally sewing themselves together. Nearly everyone had at least one post in October, and most had at least 5 posts. We were all working on group work it seems, so no solo posts to look at this month. Hopefully November will be…

Mission: Not All Orders Are Easy
Posted on Thu Jan 22nd, 2026 @ 2:34pm by Ensign Aidan "A.J." Reid
Aj bounced a rubber ball against the bulkhead with rhythmic precision, catching it in his palm before launching it again. "Aerial Tappin'," he drawled into the subspace channel, his thick Jamaican accent rolling through the words like distant thunder. The viewscreen flickered with the stern visage of a Starfleet Admiral—her silver-blonde hair pulled into a regulation bun, her weathered face bearing the dignified lines of decades of command, her posture ramrod straight despite her years. Aj's dark eyes narrowed as he caught the ball mid-bounce. "De Lieutenant Commander, she been on Risa when de Washington crew takin' shore leave. I…

Mission: Not All Orders Are Easy

AJ rose to his feet as Na'Riss entered the holodeck. The ship's lounge had felt too antiseptic for romance, so he'd programmed this slice of Jamaica instead—a beachside restaurant with weathered wooden tables nestled beneath swaying palms. Steel drums pulsed through the salt-tinged air, their metallic rhythms riding the warm Caribbean breeze. His heart quickened when he saw her. The Vulcan woman had exchanged her uniform for a deep emerald dress that followed her slender form with mathematical precision, the fabric shimmering like beetle wings in the golden sunset.
"Yuh look absolutely breathtakin', star," AJ said, pulling out her chair…

The Washington had dropped out of warp and entered the system. The ship was moving at half impulse as it made its way past the outer planets of the system and approached the radioactive asteroid belt. Shran and Jon were both on the bridge listening to the reports come in.
"Significant radiation in this asteroid belt, but the shields will protect us so long as we don't stay around it too long. Definitely the most radioactive asteroid belt I have ever seen, especially with an M-class world in the system" Deanna noted from Ops.
Shran glanced back towards the science…

As she approached the Captains ready room, Imik looked back at Jon. She could see he still wasn't overjoyed at the Ojnas High Command orders, how would Shran react? Being Andorian he may understand Imik's dilemma a little better than Jon, but he was also a Starfleet Captain and they didn't like or approve of anything which might upset the running of their vessel.
"Commander, do you wish to enter first or shall we enter together?" Another simple question, one which before now she wouldn't have asked. This again visibly irked Jon, Imik awaited his response.
"We're in this…

Mission: Not All Orders Are Easy
Posted on Tue Jan 20th, 2026 @ 10:51pm by Ensign Janelle Barett
The ship changed at night.
Janelle noticed it as she moved through the corridors after her shift — the way the hum of the warp core softened into something almost like breathing, the lights dimmed to a gentler glow, and conversations faded into murmurs behind closed doors. Even the bulkheads seemed to hold themselves differently, as if the Washington knew it was being watched less closely.
She approved of that, too.
Night offered anonymity. No expectations beyond being where you were supposed to be when the next duty cycle began.
She took the long way back to her quarters, passing…

Personal Log — Ensign Janelle Barett
I was selected for my first away mission today.
I knew it was coming - statistically, at least. New ensign, operations background, limited planetside exposure. Eventually the numbers line up. Still, when my name was spoken on the bridge, it felt unreal in a way training simulations never manage.
I don’t think I smiled. I don’t think I said anything unnecessary. I acknowledged the order, confirmed readiness, and did exactly what I’ve practiced doing for years.
And then I went to my quarters and stood there for a full minute doing absolutely nothing.
There’s…

Personal log, Ensign Janelle Barett.
When I think back on my first night aboard the Washington, what stays with me isn’t the size of my quarters or the hum of the ship’s systems.
It’s how quiet everything felt once the door closed.
The room was larger than my Academy quarters. Quieter, too. No voices through thin walls, no shared routines—only the steady, impersonal thrum of the ship, constant and unjudging. At the time, I told myself it was calming.
I remember standing there longer than necessary, posture still perfect, hands at my sides, as if waiting for instructions that never…

Computer, start recording:-
I have now been on board for several days, still I have not seen nor reported to the Sinkahue or Grayson. My mind is much conflicted with these new orders from my High Command, just how they expect me to continue with my duties while remaining apart from all Federation personnel is something I at this time fail to see as possible.
It is almost as if they want this collaboration to collapse into failure, maybe the section of our Council which is pushing for us to end all contact with the Federation has finally turned the…

Captain's Log
After several weeks and a few interesting encounters, we have returned to Federation space. I managed to convince StarFleet to give us a few days at Risa. Of course, StarFleet didn't just grant us a simple leave. They tasked us with providing the normal maintenance work to the weather control grid on Risa, which my engineers are now working on. Lt O'Connor has voiced a complaint that StarFleet needs to base an engineering team here fulltime to better maintain the grid, which he indicates has been severely neglected.
The first round of transports down to the planet have…
