Stormbreaker: Week 3 Fiction Update

It’s that time again! And here we are, at the end of Week 3 and thus halfway through the Stormbreaker Campaign! Week 3 (19th – 25th February) Bravo Fleet Command USS Endeavour Endeavour’s away team boards the USS Odysseus, trapped to contain the subspace rift that threatens the whole of Whixby. There they find a ship shattered […]

Incoming Commands for Junior Officers: Raven-class

The short version of this message: Ensigns can now request their own Primary Command, their own smaller ship on which to house Stories, Missions, and Characters, until they’re eligible for starship command! But I do like to explain my thinking, so here’s the longer version: One of the great changes we implemented in Bravo Fleet […]

Stormbreaker: Week 2 Fiction Update

The show continues with a second week of writing in the Stormbreaker Campaign! Week 2 (12th – 18th February) Bravo Fleet Command USS Endeavour Endeavour dispatches both a diplomatic delegation and a disaster relief team to the colony world Whixby, trying to repair the damage from the storm and convince the planet’s leadership to take on […]

Stormbreaker: Week 1 Fiction Update

I’m delighted to show that the Stormbreaker Campaign is off to a rip-roaring start – much like the Century Storm tearing its way through the Paulson Nebula, threatening the lives of millions. To help people keep up with the many stories being told, the Lore Office, ably assisted by TF staff, will yet again provide […]

The Stormbreaker Campaign begins!

Ion storms ravage the Paulson Nebula, manifesting as if from nowhere and endangering all who live and travel within its depths. Without a response, countless lives will be lost.

The Stormbreaker Campaign Briefing

In two weeks’ time, on February 5th, the first Bravo Fleet campaign of 2022 will begin: Stormbreaker. When a once-in-a-century ion storm threatens the Paulson Nebula, countless lives are at risk. It’s down to the Fourth Fleet to respond. The Century Storm is coming. But don’t just take my short words for it, or even […]

Starbase Bravo Open

Over the past three-ish years, the Senior Staff have been thinking about different activities we can offer to best meet the needs of the group. The short version is that more people want to be captains than they want to manage groups of other writers, which has made the solo writing options through the command […]

The Stormbreaker Campaign – Coming Soon!

In 2399, first it was the D’Ghor, then it was the Tkon. Old threats endangered the whole galaxy, while new enemies struck at Federation borders. In 2400, the first danger is much closer to home. Introducing: The Stormbreaker Campaign Murray cleared his throat, suddenly serious. ‘It’s a general distress call from the science station Gamma-7, […]

The 25th Century Begins

Happy 2022, everyone! This comes with an important New Year’s announcement from the Lore Office. As per Section 2 of the Canon Policy: ‘The Bravo Fleet timeline advances one year for every two years that pass. The in-character year will advance on January 1 of each even-numbered year. The timeline may be advanced immediately by […]

Lore Office Report 2021

2021 was a busy year for the Lore Office. We tried a lot of new things, and, good news! A lot of it worked or went well. The even better news is that what didn’t work still taught us valuable lessons. I came to the Lore Office with two golden rules of storytelling. The first […]

Incoming Ship Detected

I don’t know about anyone else, but I enjoyed the hell out of Season 2 of Lower Decks. Best Star Trek in two decades, in my opinion. Old Trek fan ruminations aside, the Lore Office is pleased to announce some updates to our Starfleet ships, courtesy of some long-thinking, hard work, serious nerding, and canon updates from the latest […]
