The Devil to Pay Begins!

‘I don’t doubt our capacity to survive. But this draws attention. Starfleet’s been increasing their patrols. Reports rise of them mobilising task forces -’ ‘And yet,’ said the Pirate Queen, her voice cutting through the argument like a micro-blade, ‘we’re still here. Profiting.’ She leaned forward, and the gathered lieutenants stiffened. ‘We’ve tasted only a […]

The Devil to Pay Briefing Launches

The Fourth Fleet has stood firm against onslaughts from Klingons and the Dominion, brought aid to the collapsing Romulan Star Empire, and investigated the mysteries of ancient Tkon technology and the passages of Underspace. Grand work fit for Starfleet, safeguarding the galaxy and expanding the limits of scientific knowledge. Now, a new challenge calls, but […]

The Devil to Pay

New Sydney stank, but the Red Shade Docks stank more. Muller had hoped the meeting would happen someplace more central. Someplace with more people. Instead, he trudged down alleyways that time and neglect had hued crimson and gold with rust more than the setting sun, as if the district were a forest fading into autumnal […]

New Ship Approaching – the Lamarr-Class

We’re almost two months past the release of Star Trek: Prodigy season 2. The show has provided some wonderful new developments in Trek canon, fleshing out the era between Nemesis and Picard alongside Lower Decks. With a younger target audience, I hear and read about Trekkies sharing the show with their kids and young family […]

Labyrinth: Phase 3 Storyline Released

‘Your concern is touching, Captain.’ Gul Iset could not have sounded more insincere if she wanted to, and Hargreaves knew he had entered into a rather pathetic theatre. There they were, deep in the furthest reaches of former Star Empire territory, aware of the dangers surrounding them – but her ship was considerably more impressive […]

Labyrinth: Phase 2 Storyline Released

The first week of Labyrinth is over! Already we’ve seen a staggering 200,000 words penned for the 2024 Fleet Action in a mere 10 days. That’s incredible, and I’m so delighted to see all of the stories you’re coming up with as the chaos of Underspace is felt rippling across the galaxy. But chaos only lasts for so […]

One week out, the Intelligence Office is pleased to release the lore and mission briefing for the first of the three phases for the writing campaign that will accompany the event. Through this mission, captains of the Fourth Fleet will be the first to encounter and respond to the […]

Labyrinth

‘Captain. Captain!’   Consciousness came swimming back, and with it a thudding pain in his temples. Kehinde Hargreaves groaned in what he knew was a most un-captainly manner as he sat up. Commander Vorin was kneeling beside him, his XO’s eyes narrowed with more concern than she would normally show.   ‘Present,’ he groaned. ‘What’s […]

The Operation Begins!

“That’s not a Federation warp signature. It’s Cardassian,” Alesser said. He pointed to the readout. “You can tell from the variations in the mid-frequencies.” Pullock was a name that Lancaster recognized: Pullock V was the site of the first Bajoran strike outside of their home system during the Occupation. A former Cardassian colony, it had […]

The Shape of Things to Come

‘Martok is gone,’ L’kor continued. ‘All we are doing now is picking over his bones to see if they will give us wisdom. You are refusing to acknowledge this unwelcome truth, Koloth. You call it caution; I call it a failure of courage.’ Koloth tensed. ‘What we do here, L’kor, will determine the Empire’s next […]

The Shape of Things to Come Operation – Coming Soon!

In early 2401, the galaxy shuddered at the threats assailing it. The transwarp anomaly that endangered the fabric of space. The manipulations of renegade Changelings. A desolating Borg plot on Frontier Day. The United Federation of Planets was hit hardest, with countless starships lost, the ranks of Starfleet heavily depleted, and its leadership compromised through […]
