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 always seems to come around quickly, and so it is that another month has passed into the history books. May was another good month as a whole, with lots of posting, the end of one mission, the start of another, and at the end of the month, the welcoming of two new players. As we move into the summer, historically the best time for simming, things look like they are moving full speed ahead for the crew of the Washington.
Below you will find the monthly awards. I wish to congratulate all our winners. It was a great month,…

Well, another month in the books. April was a posting bonanza for virtually everyone, which made it hard to determine who was the most deserving of many awards. We had 6 players (not counting myself) that had at least 5 posts. and we had 5 players with at least 8 posts. I think we had a solid month in general, and I think based on the posting totals most people had a good time with the mission. As we move into a new month and a new mission, I hope everyone has an equally good time and has lots of…

Mission: Wounds From the Mirror
Posted on Fri Jun 27th, 2025 @ 12:03am by Lieutenant Commander Deanna Celes & Lieutenant Inara Senn
Deanna's comm badge interrupted her sleep. Again, and again. It was important if she was being aroused at this time.
Deanna opened her eyes and slowly reached over to the comm panel on the table next to her bed. She spoke in a groggy almost lethargic tone, "Please tell me the ship is about to explode, because if this is a junior officer calling, they are going to be scrubbing the plasma manifolds while the engines are still running."
"Deanna, Come to my lab. this is incredible." Inara's voice noted
Deanna remained quiet for several moments. "Fine...on my way."

The turbolift made its way up to the bridge. The Andorian stood silently in the lift like some grim totem, a reminder that he was not of this universe. His clothing was not like something normally seen, unless you were perhaps a Klingon. He wore his version of the Andorian Guard uniform, which was designed to demonstrate the harsh conditions of his world, and the most notable item was the curved blades he had sheathed on either hip.
The turbolift doors opened and he took a very deliberate step onto the bridge. The room was in reduced light, most of…

[Mission Control Observation Lounge, Cape Kennedy]
James sat in the observation room overlooking Cape Kennedy's main mission control room. Things were currently quite since there wasn't anything active. He was only in the room because he needed a place that lacked sound so he could gather his thoughts.
Quarantine, although more of a formality since it was only needed for the flight up, began in three weeks which was followed by the launch window which was two weeks after that. One month and a week. That was how little time until he'd be in space. It was a surreal thought…

The hum of the warp core was a steady presence in the background, but here in the starboard access conduit it was the hiss of coolant regulators and the faint tick-tick of diagnostic tools that filled the space. Rija Rautajärvi lay on his back, half beneath a grated sub-panel, with his legs angled awkwardly to avoid a bundle of EPS feed lines. His uniform tunic was rumpled, one of his sleeves streaked with insulation dust.
"Hand me the isolinear tap, would you?" he asked without looking up.
"From somewhere above and behind, a deep and dry voice replied, "Tap, bypass…

Deanna was the first in the conference room, taking her normal seat opposite where Jon would be. She had done some basic intel gathering for the purposes of the meeting. Kathrine Parker captained the USS Saber, a Saber class vessel. It was one of the smaller vessels used by intelligence, and generally for the same purpose as what StarFleet generally used them for, guard duty. It was obvious to her that Kay had been sent to grab people without it looking suspicious. Something had obviously gone wrong. Kay was no raw cadet or inexperienced ensign. She had been a captain…

Captain's Log
Supplemental
We have once again encountered the mythic Earth deities, this time the Celtic deities alone. We were studying a stellar core fragment when we discovered a planet in its path. As we approached the planet, we learned that it was inhabited, but more remarkably, the core fragment wasn't causing the planet any issues which was strange.
The planet was inhabited by humans. These humans were originally from Earth, Ireland specifically, and their ancestors had been brought to the planet by the Celtic gods roughly a millennia ago. Upon an away team beaming down which I joined, we…

Having arrived at my new home abord the USS Washington, I find it to be both different and yet the same as my time spent on Rock at the Academy.
My first few moments here were met with the same comments as my first few moments on Rock. Though at that time there were four other of my fellows with me as we began our new life in the Academy Consortium. And the universal translators given us by the humans did not successfully translate the negativity of the words the humans had for us. Now, after we have had time…
