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.

Posted on Mon May 5th, 2025 @ 3:31pm by Captain Shran dh'Klar in General News

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…

Posted on Sat Apr 5th, 2025 @ 5:50pm by Captain Shran dh'Klar in General News

March was a great month for us. Everyone participated with at least three posts each, and we were really getting into the meat of things as we completed one mission and got into another. As we really start to get into this new mission, I feel like it will be full of some great writing as we delve into some darker material.

Below you will find the monthly awards. I wish to congratulate our winners as always. I also offer up best wishes as our winners move on to compete for the Fleet level awards.

Mission: Cead Mile Failte
Posted on Fri May 30th, 2025 @ 10:33pm by Lieutenant Ánderijá "Rija" Rautajärvi

The clatter of boots on metallic decking echoed.

Lieutenant Rija Rautajärvi stepped off the transport vessel onto the polished deck of the USS Washington's main shuttlebay, his duffle bag slung over one shoulder like an afterthought. Nearly forty officers and enlisted personnel formed loose ranks, shuffling into something approximating a line as a harried-looking lieutenant and stocky non-comm called them to attention for orientation. The air held that mix of drafty, recycled sterility and engine-warmth that always seemed to linger near small spacecraft. Sovereign-class, Rija thought, eyeing the curved bulkheads and recessed lighting. Roomy, powerful, if not a little too…

Posted on Thu May 29th, 2025 @ 6:51pm by Lieutenant Aidan O'Connor & Lieutenant Rel Ry'lar & Lieutenant Ánderijá "Rija" Rautajärvi

LT Aidan O'Connor made his way into Engineering after spending some time down on the planet. He felt refreshed after being in a place that reminded him so much of home. He had one thing on his mind now though, integrating the new engineers into the department and making sure things worked well. He had read over the service documents and other personnel files of the new members of his team, and now he was going to be meeting with them before the larger daily meeting with the Engineering staff. He took a seat in the small office he had…

Mission: Cead Mile Failte
Posted on Thu May 29th, 2025 @ 6:48pm by Lieutenant Ayana Hillis & Lieutenant Inara Senn & Jasmine Armstrong

Ayana remained and kept watch after the captain and others returned to the ship. Inara was her security charge at this point, though she knew that Ms. Armstrong was soon to beam down. She kept a respectful distance from Inara, seeing her standing in a green grassy field away from the ruins. As expected, Ms. Armstrong materialized near Ayana.

Ayana looked at her, "You have your hands full. She is less than enthusiastic about staying down here."

Jas chuckled. "What's going on here. Oh psychology." She chuckled. "Yeah, Inara doesn't consider that a science." Jas smirked.

"Not my idea. I'm…

Mission: Cead Mile Failte
Posted on Thu May 29th, 2025 @ 5:32pm by Lieutenant JG Kate Kono & Lieutenant JG Benjamin "Ben" Dalton

Ben arrived at the holodeck, saw a program was already running as he entered. it looked like he had entered a gym complete with mats, punching bags and rowing equipment. But he didn't see Kate which was odd as she asked him to be here. As he walked further into the gym, he glanced about still not seeing her until finally he spotted her in her brightly colored workout gear. He hurried over to her, "Hiya Sweetie, what's this new program you want me to see?"

Kate waved happily with two knives in her hand. The knives looked real enough…

It had been a day since Shran had spoken with Imik and subsequently with Deanna. The alpha shift was currently on the bridge, with the exception of those taking advantage of the shore leave opportunity.

Deanna entered the bridge from the rear turbolift and approached Shran, "Captain, I have completed the scans you have requested."

Shran saw she had a PaDD in her hand. "I'll speak with you in the conference room." He stood and looked at Jon, "I want you to hear this too Jon. Bring Imik and let's find out what Deanna has discovered."

Jon nodded, "Yes sir,…

"Personal log Stardate 63889.3.

I don't know where to start. I was hesitant to even bring this up in a log, but Counselor Jortho gave me the recommendation to vent to myself more. She says rambling can help me talk myself into deeper matters. I've decided to take her up on that advice, so here I am.

She has cleared me for duty. Today was my first day back and things were rather mundane but I expected that given the first day back was supposed to be light. Counselor's orders.

Doctors Howard and Del Rio patched me up well and…

The Personal Journal of Inara Senn

So, I came here expecting to find an advanced civilization that constructed the Singularity core on the planet of the apesm and what I found? Stupidity... Utter and complete stupidity.

First we find the original sleeper ship that came here, and what did my captain do once Deanna confirmed the presence of augmented beings? They were destroyed without mercy, And when they should be taking responsibility, like any military. They point to the regs manual, and say it wasn't their fault.

Second, we beamed down to find even more examples of superior intellect. Nazi…

To: Starfleet Command, Academy Cadet Liaison Office
From: Lieutenant Inara Senn, Chief Science Officer, USS Washington
Subject: Special Training for Red Squad Cadet

To Whom It May Concern (and I sincerely hope someone, somewhere is actually concerned),

It is my duty (and a personal act of catharsis) to submit my official report on the latest Red Squad cadet assigned to my department. Before we proceed, let me make one thing abundantly clear: I am a scientist, not an Academy professor, not a glorified babysitter, and definitely not a miracle worker capable of teaching humility to the Red Squad breed of…

"Junior Tactical Officer's log Stardate 63831.7.

After an extensive investigatation in the Pacific Northwest region of North America, I have found nothing.

There is no sign of Captain Shran or Ashlynn Regan's mirror counterparts. I still need to confer with Commander Grayson and Lieutenant S'Niohun regarding their findings as I just returned to the Washington from leave, and my part of the investigation.

Honestly, I didn't have much hope that our Terran fugitives would be here in the first place given that with how many people are in this system, it would likely be too dangerous for them to lay…
