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.

It amazes me that we are already into February. Those of us in the US spent the back end of January likely buried in snow and ice as winter weather pushed in on the extreme. On the bright side of that, it definitely allowed for people to write, and everyone seemingly was happy to do so in January. We had 6 writers that had at least 5 posts in January, and everyone had at least 2 posts if they were active in January. It gave me plenty of material to review and made deciding on the awards tough.

Hopefully everyone had a good holiday season. Below you will find the December Awards. Congrats to the winners, and good luck representing us at the fleet level.

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.

Mission: Not All Orders Are Easy
Posted on Thu Feb 5th, 2026 @ 10:26am by Lieutenant JG Kate Kono & Ensign Aidan "A.J." Reid
USS Revenant - NCC 2091
Lieutenant Commander Aerial Tapping's footsteps echoed across the polished deck as she approached the bridge. Captain Emily Braddock stood silhouetted against the viewscreen's glow, the Washington's signature appearing as a faint blip among the stars. Braddock's fingers drummed against the captain's chair as Tapping slid into her seat, the tension between them thick as vacuum.
"Whitfield's scrubbed the mission," Braddock said, her voice cutting through the ambient hum of the ship. "Kono's people are digging—about you." Her steel-gray eyes narrowed. "Your asset slipped the leash, and now we're compromised. The entire operation hangs by a…

Deanna walked out of the exit and into the world this blind was meant to keep them from. The storm was still raging, but the exit was inside an adjacent cave, protecting her from the harsh conditions, though she could still hear and see it. She opened her tricorder and began to scan again. Power was still offline, but she hoped the Chief would change that soon enough. She'd go assist him if needed. Looking at her tricorder she saw what she was concerned about, elevated radiation outside. This was something they would have to deal with. Hopefully Sam could…

Mission: Not All Orders Are Easy
Posted on Thu Jan 29th, 2026 @ 5:11am by Ensign Janelle Barett
Natalie hadn’t meant to count the days.
At first, it was just habit. A glance at the chronometer. A quiet mental note. They’d only been apart a short time, after all. A few weeks since graduation. A few weeks since assignments, transport schedules, first duty shifts that were supposed to be overwhelming in the good way.
Janelle was good at first impressions. Natalie trusted that.
Still, it had been twelve days since her last message went unanswered.
Natalie stared at the open PADD on her desk, the cursor blinking patiently beneath a half-typed sentence she had already rewritten twice.

Kate burst through the doors of the intelligence office, her face flushed crimson with rage. The report of AJ's demotion from department head to junior officer still burned in her mind. Her boots struck the polished floor with military precision as she made her way to his desk, where he sat with his usual lax, yet attentive gaze, a monument of consistant confidence. She slammed a PaDD down before him, causing several nearby officers to flinch. The device spun across the smooth surface, finally settling with the damning personnel report glowing accusingly on its screen.
"You let me find out…

"Excellent Rodriguez, now lift the safety latch and the filter is released and can be pulled." Aaron said, guiding Crewman Rodriguez through the Biofilter exchange process outside Holosuite 1. "Now, Crewman Johnson can put the new one in. Gently now, the edges are fragile." Aaron lightly slapped the bulkhead in approval as they continued along the sequence of replacement.
Beside Aaron and the crewmen stood a tall stack of fresh Biofilters and a growing stack of used ones. The latter giving off the faintest smell of heat and ozone. As he set another used filter onto the stack Aaron…

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 align. Still, when my name was spoken on the bridge, it felt unreal in a way training simulations never manage.
I do not think I smiled. I do not think I said anything unnecessary. I acknowledged the order, confirmed readiness, and did exactly what I have practiced doing for years.
Then I went to my quarters and stood there for a full minute doing absolutely nothing.
There is…

Personal log, Ensign Janelle Barett.
When I think back on my first night aboard the Washington, what stays with me is not the size of my quarters or the hum of the ship’s systems.
It is 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…

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…
