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 first half of the year ended with us wrapping one mission and starting a new one, and it seems that everyone has taken to the new mission and writing is prolific again. While July is a special month for the ship and the fleet as a whole, we can't ignore what happened in June. I thank everyone for great work and look forward to seeing what else we'll see happen in this mission that everyone seems to be getting in on. Below are the awards for June. As always, congrats to all our winners, and good luck as you…

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,…

Mission: Wounds From the Mirror
Posted on Fri Jul 11th, 2025 @ 2:44pm by Lieutenant Commander Deanna Celes & Lieutenant Inara Senn
Inara was in her lab, working on the unique holomatrix she had found. She almost did not notice the door open in her lab.
Jas came in, followed by another. "So, working and paying no attention to all that is happening around you. Everything your record indicates" the blonde woman stated flatly, her voice a bit hoarse.
"Hey Jas... You know me. Wait...." Inara turned with a smile and then stopped. Walking up to her. She focused her thoughts on her. There was a twinge of something hostile in this woman before her. "No... Jas knows me quite well. She…

Mission: Wounds From the Mirror
Posted on Thu Jul 10th, 2025 @ 7:30pm by Lieutenant JG Kate Kono
The first thing she noticed was the light. It saturated everything—her eyelids, the inside of her skull, even the sound of her own ragged exhale. She squinted but the whiteness persisted, so she rolled her head on the stiff pillow, and the second thing she noticed was that the room was all right angles. No windows. No doors. The kind of place designed to keep secrets in.
Kate was still dressed. The black and grey Starfleet Intelligence uniform hugged her ribs and hips, each stitch perfectly aligned. The left breast still had the faint burn mark from a close call…

Mission: Wounds From the Mirror
Posted on Thu Jul 10th, 2025 @ 1:53pm by Captain Shran dh'Klar & Lieutenant JG Kate Kono & Lieutenant JG Benjamin "Ben" Dalton
Eislyn cautiously led the way out of sickbay and down the corridor. She noted blood on the deck and walls as well as scorching on the walls that indicated weapons fire. She feared what they might encounter, with invaders on the ship and no word from anyone on the situation, anything was possible. Reaching the first major junction she stopped and held her position, allowing for Kate and Ben to catch up so they might get into a tactical position before they tried to get to the turbolift.
Kate pulled a PADD out of her leg pocket and tapped at…

Mission: Wounds From the Mirror
Posted on Thu Jul 10th, 2025 @ 1:06pm by Lieutenant Aidan O'Connor & Lieutenant Ánderijá "Rija" Rautajärvi & Senior Chief Petty Officer Cassius "Cash" Cullers
The cargo hold was quiet but for the hiss of environmental processors and the low buzz of concealed weaponry being checked and re-checked. Six figures moved in a tight rhythm: sliding charge packs into rifles, strapping gauntlets, fastening mirrored rank pips that caught the weak light bending it across their collars.
At the center, Rija stood still. He did not check his blade. He did not speak. His gaze shifted slowly, once, across the others--like a shark considering each small fish in a nearby school. His breath was so shallow his chest barely moved beneath the matte-black combat weave.

Mirror Deanna strolled down the corridor of the Wahington. Pulling out her communication device, she signaled the Saber. "Love, I left you something interesting in the sickbay. Should you want to have some new playthings while I'm gone."
On the Saber, the Mirror Shran sat on the bridge like Khan on the Reliant as he stalked the Enterprise. Now it was this evil double of Shran seeking revenge on his counterpart and the entire Washington crew. Hearing this message a vile smile crept over his face. He tightened the grip on the chain attached to Capt Parker's slave collar, "That…

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…
