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.

The USS Washington is a proud member of Independence Fleet

Posted on Thu Jul 4th, 2024 @ 9:27am by Captain Shran dh'Klar in General News
Happy Anniversary IDF! Yes, on this day 23 years ago, we started simming here at IDF. I am proud to say that I was here that day, and that our ship, the USS Washington was one of the founding sims of the fleet. I was just a wild and crazy ensign working in intelligence at that point, but I rose in the ranks and enjoyed every minute of it. I hope you all enjoy the Anniversary message you find below, and as always, happy simming everyone.

Posted on Mon Jul 1st, 2024 @ 8:44am by Captain Shran dh'Klar in General News
It seems like the months just fly by, especially as we reach the summer months. So it is as we find ourselves in the month of July already. The month of June was a great month for us, and several people were extremely active. The senior members of the crew seem to have taken a step back and allowed the young junior officers really shine. Below you will find the awards for June. I want to congratulate our winners and wish them luck at the Fleet level as they represent us. I am hoping July is equally as active and exciting as June.

Summer is just around the corner, and what can be our most hectic month in the front half of the calendar certainly kept us all busy. The story has shown a great deal of detail as everyone has contributed a great deal. We had a lot of great Trek and sci-fi writing in general, and Inara has continued to manage to keep as much of the real science in place as possible. Below you will find the May awards. I want to congratulate our winners, and as always, I wish you all luck as you represent us at the fleet level. On to June!

Cmdr Shran looked around the governmental building. Cardassian architecture, very grey, always predictable in how everything would be laid out. He directed troops to different areas and then strolled up the steps to what would be the prefect's or mayor's office. It was laid out just like Sisko's office on…

I am surrounded by people who believe being a Starfleet Officer should be priority over being a scientist. I'm hoping this insubordinate charade convinces them to kick me out of Starfleet. So I can prove Starfleet has become a military during the events of the Dominion War.
