» With Condolences

Posted on Thu Jun 27th, 2019 @ 9:21pm by Captain Thomas Winter in General News

Good Evening Everyone,

There's no easy way to say this so I'll just come out with it.

Earlier this week, I was informed by Shawn, the player behind our Chief Engineer, that Liz, his wife and the player behind G'Kar, passed away a couple of weeks ago. This is a loss for the fleet, the sim but most of all for Shawn.

I'm sure you'll all join me in offering deepest condolences to Shawn for his loss, that he's in our thoughts, and hope that any of you who may have one faith or another will keep Shawn and his family in your prayers.

We're all sorry for your loss, my friend. The nights sky is one star brighter now. Of Liz, I will say only this.

May your journey be smooth and peaceful. May whatever afterlife you believe in treat you as well as you deserve. And may you be greeted at the gates of Stovo'kor with a barrel of blood wine!

Regards,

Ben

» Golden PADD 2018

Posted on Thu May 31st, 2018 @ 11:55pm by Rear Admiral Oliver Lancaster in General News

Hey guys,

Just an update. This year's Obsidian Day is coming up, and as of tomorrow, June 1st 2018, the Golden PADD competition will be open for submissions! Not only that, but this year, Trek submissions aren't the only option as to what genre can be submitted. So long as it's sci-fi and an original story, anything is fair game!

Go to https://www.obsidianfleet.net/2018/05/20/golden-padd-2018/ for the rules.

» Sim Rule Update

Posted on Fri Mar 2nd, 2018 @ 4:55pm by Rear Admiral Oliver Lancaster in Sim Announcement

Hello guys,

As per my recent announcement on Discord, I have taken the decision to change the rules RE activity. They are now as follows;

When tag responses will take more than 3 days (i.e. if there's an RL matter interfering), I ask that you let the other participant(s) know in a timely manner. This one is not a rule but a request.

Inactivity without communication for 7 days will result in a strike.

Inactivity for 21 days without communication will result in removal from the sim.

The CO reserves the right to change these rules without notice at any time.

These rules are in effect from TODAY (March 2nd 2018). They will not be back dated.

Any questions should be directed to me.

Hope everyone is well.

Regards,

Ben

» Class Change

Posted on Mon Jan 22nd, 2018 @ 7:20pm by Rear Admiral Oliver Lancaster in General News

Hey all,

So, update on the class change. Effective immediately, we're transferring to the USS Imperator, a Sovereign Class Starship. Heads up, there is an error where the old Wolff skin still shows on the control panel. I am aware of it and it will be worked on.

We're also going to be starting our new mission within the next day or two.

Finally, we're going to start recruiting for the vacant positions. If you know anyone who would want to apply, please, send them this way.

Hope you are all well.

Regards,

Ben

Mission: Kobayashi Maru
Posted on Fri Jul 31st, 2020 @ 9:21pm by Captain Thomas Winter

The bridge was filled with a smell of burning, bathed in red emergency lighting. Consoles flickered and made laboured beeps and chirps as the ship attempted to engage systems that were all but destroyed. In the centre of the room, Tom laid face down, blood trickling down his forehead.

Tom stepped onto the Bridge from his Ready Room, tugging his uniform tunic down as he quickly making his way to the centre of it but not sitting down. He'd received the call for all senior staff to report to the Bridge.

Tom walked into the Observation Lounge, flanked by Thorrin and Harry. He'd left Beauvoir in Command of the Bridge while they were en route. Unlike a lot of Captains, who liked to brief their entire staff in one go, Tom preferred generally to brief key personnel on matters relating to…

Tom walked into his Ready Room, moving around the desk and taking his seat. He pressed a control on the desk, causing the terminal to slowly raise out from the desk in front of him.

"Computer, connect me to Admiral Oliver Lancaster, Starbase Sirius." Tom said "Priority one."

"Request acknowledged."…

"So... I did the Kobayashi Maru test today...."

Wintrow leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling. "I'm not sure I did overly well... I was placed in command and that's so not my area of expertise? I'm not fit for command, I've always known that. The idea that…

Imperator has been assigned to border patrol while running some cadet training exercises. I understand the need for such things, sure, but I'm not sure I'm the best person to be doing them. After all, my relationship with my own daughter isn't exactly great.

On that subject, she's been onboard…

Content at having escaped the ship for a few days, Jerant now sat in his old room back at his parents' home. He stared at the computer screen for a moment.

He drew in a deep breath as his dark eyes closed for a moment.

Captain's Log, supplemental.

We're en route to Takan's rift, an anomaly on the edge of Klingon space. It's never been considered a particularly interesting anomaly by Starfleet Command. The last survey was conducted in 2345 by the Stargazer under Jean-Luc Picard. The report I read cited it as being "absolutely…

I'm still wondering as to how all this came about in Engineering. First we had damaged crystals. Sure, they were fine, but not so much for leaping through time. Then, with some quick thinking from the captain and our resident Chief Science officer, we not only fix them,, but we…
