USS Paulson (Archive)

Task Force 17 • Managed by CDRE Jaro Oak

Perhaps one of the most unique starships in the Starfleet arsenal, the Typhon-class USS Paulson is a relic of the Dominion War-era recently brought out of mothballs to assist with the new Shackleton Expanse exploration initiative. Assigned to Lakota Squadron and their Squadron Commander, Commodore Jaro Oak, she serves Task Force 47 of the Fourth Fleet as a command and control hub operating out of the Nihor system, all at the behest of the Nihari leader, the High Arbiter.

Without a Federation starbase or colony within dozens of lightyears, the carrier leads the Squadron on humanitarian, exploration and tactical objectives far from home thanks to her massive 30-man squadron of starfighters and nearly a dozen other support craft at her disposal.

The stories of Lakota Squadron are rated 2-2-2 for mature subject matter, including some moderate violence, language and sexual content.

Silence was king on the bridge of IRW Eletrix. It always had been, always would be. Commander Tanor preferred it that way. Silence meant her people were working. Silence meant there were no pressing issues. Silence meant everything was proceeding on schedule. And nobody had spoken in easily two [...]

Part 2: A Single Ping

Pings in the Dark

A single ping. A silence disturbed. A simple warning to everyone watching and waiting. A sign so small that it would have escaped the attention of an officer less experienced, but not the attentions of the Major occupying the helm. A slight deviation. A shift in their target’s vector and a [...]

Osin Azestra found Wasp‘s center chair to be much too small. Logically, this shouldn’t have come as a surprise- Song usually had it set up better for herself, and while she was barely five feet and three inches of conflicting self-consciousness and fury, Az was having much more [...]
