The year is 2402.

Deep Space 13 is the Federation’s most distant station not reachable by wormhole.

It is a perfect imitation of a Federation starbase that never existed, ostensibly a Romulan training facility, surrendered to the Federation as the former Empire collapses.

Within the idyllic Dreizhen system where DS13 is found, a strange anomaly lies hidden, jumping between all possible realities across the multiverse.

DS13 is the last stop before infinity, and the first port in the discovery of a strange new frontier.

Whether it’s the endless sprawl of Coruscant, the nightmarish caves of Klendathu or the ruins of Gallifrey, DS13 will explore and be visited by familiar and unfamiliar parallel realities.

Deep Space 13 is a play-by-nova/e-mail RPG (sim) grounded in the primary canon of the Star Trek universe. We will explore possible and impossible realities, collaborating to survive and further peaceful exploration. Because we are a multiversal sim, we can incorporate characters from just about any universe, so long as they can earn the trust of a Starfleet crew.

Multiversal adventures allow us to explore the dynamics and features of other universes. We will not interfere with existing canon of other stories, but rather discover the risks and uniqueness of new realities and their inhabitants. The only real limit is our imaginations.

We aim to replicate the spirit of the golden age of trek with diverse and layered characters in challenging and exciting situations. While we will observe new canon as best we can while it emerges, our adventures will be largely unrelated to the wider galaxy. Join us at the links below.

All players must be over the age of 18. We allow high impact language, and medium impact violence and sexuality, 3-2-2 using the rpgrating.com system. All NSFW material must be contextual, tasteful and the natural result of or a significant event in a character’s story.

Many years ago, when Star Trek sims were a lot more popular, there were a few sites floating around that used a forum-based system where each thread was dedicated to a specific location on the ship, planet, away mission, etc.

Players would write posts for their character and interact with other players or the GM within these threads, and then when their character moved to a different location, that's where they would write next.

It was a really immersive experience, and I liked it a lot more than the forum-based RPGs where threads are centered around story segments.

--

My question is: Are any of these location-based sims still around?

I'd love to dip my toe in again, especially for that style of game.

Thank you!!!

Commander Ackhurst watched as the report on his PADD kept scrolling. And scrolling, and scrolling. He cleared his throat, but his voice still came out faint. ‘How many casualties?’

‘Tusom IV has yet to confirm,’ came his Vulcan XO’s level response. ‘Estimations suggest it may be as high as one hundred and fifty deaths. This does not include the loss of life elsewhere in the system.’

Ackhurst tossed the report onto his desk and leaned back to rub his temples. ‘Four Birds-of-Prey. Bombarding the surface, beaming down to kill people, taking anything. Out of nowhere.’ He’d served in the Archanis Sector for ten years, and only known it as a sleepy border with the allied Klingon Empire. Now the world below had been devastated. ‘Did some pirates pick up new ships? Even the worst Mo’Kai reports don’t include slaughtering civilians like this.’

‘We’ve been informed a nav buoy at the system’s edge intercepted a transmission. Interference from the Tusom Belt prevented anyone else from receiving it. The attackers did identify themselves.’

Ackhurst opened his eyes to stare at his XO. ‘You should lead with that next time.’

Lieutenant Commander T’Von gave him an inscrutable look. ‘You requested a casualty and damage report.’

‘Yes, but – just go on.’

‘We have limited information on the ships themselves,’ said T’Von, apparently committed to burying the lede. ‘But they spoke of fighting for the glory of someone named Kuskir, of whom we have no records.’

‘That’s not much -’

‘And identified themselves as Hunters of D’Ghor.’

Ackhurst drew a slow, tense breath. ‘They don’t attack in forces this large. This far from their usual territory. But with that trade convoy going dark two days ago…’ He looked around the ready room of his small, unassuming California-class ship. ‘I think Starfleet better send help.’

Bravo Fleet recently completed it's first Lore Office Campaign, the Archanis Campaign! With the vicious Hunters of D’Ghor flooding across the Federation border, the 4th Fleet rallied to defend beleaguered worlds and peoples against their savage raiding. After a final battle that spilled over three star systems, the enemy ships were destroyed or routed, and their leader Kuskir, son of D’Ghor, taken into Federation custody. The work is not yet complete: there is rebuilding to be done, a border to watch, and the whisper of ensuing tensions with the Klingon Empire. But the crisis has come to an end and so, after all their efforts, the 4th Fleet has been stood down from this emergency.

The campaign lasted for 10 weeks, and we have been beyond delighted with the engagement, the activity, and the storytelling which has come about from it. The event ran from February 13th to April 25th, resulting in:

• 136 separate chapters
• 23 distinct storylines
• A whopping 248,947 words!

Please take a read today on our forums and consider joining us in our next adventure!

Season 1, Episode 6. When someone on the base is murdered during an important trade exposition, it leads to a locked-room mystery with multiple suspects. Security Chief Brown investigates, entering a web of conspiracy, and takes a personal stake in uncovering the killer.

***THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS CLASSIFIED FOR ARU-ALPHA-01 LEVEL PERSONNEL OR HIGHER ONLY***

“Keep Calm and Contain”

This directive issued on [REDACTED] 2301, by order of Rear Admiral Vincent T. Jansson

The Anomaly Recovery Unit (ARU) is a Top Secret Starfleet division, tasked with the recovery, containment and study of those entities classified as 'space anomalies', with the purpose of protecting other Federation vessels and also nearby civilian populations from the anomalies powers or effects.

Ongoing exploration missions by Federation flagships not only increased the Federation's borders and area of influence, but also made their existence known to a multitude of species, not all of whom have been hospitable. Indeed, as the number and frequency of attacks on Federation vessels, by previously unknown or unmanaged anomalies, increased, it became necessary to withold this information from UFP members at large in an effort to protect current and future exploration events. However, without sufficient means to capture, or even study, these anomalies, it was only possible to establish localised quarantine zones in the hope that other passing ships would avoid the area.

This tactic proved to be ineffective.

Thus, the Anomaly Recovery Unit was created and funded from a black budget, reappropriated from various legitimate Federation workstreams. Currently there are a total of seventeen starships, of various class and size, commanded by ARU personnel. The names and registries of these vessels is classified at level ARU-GAMMA-05 on a strictly need-to-know basis. Cross-ship communications are forbidden as per the terms of ARU-directive [REDACTED] and all reporting is made via ARU central command, headquartered on Starbase 237, in the [REDACTED] area of Federation space.

Hey guys. I know this isn’t probably the right place to ask this, but an answer is proving to be quite elusive. Basically my question is: has there ever been any instances of a crew member using the holodeck for sexual/mastabatory purposes? Please don’t report me or anything, I think it’s a legitimate question. Any info you guys have would be appreciated. Happy Labor Day.

A survey team gets lost in the vast forest of Berengaria, encountering strange sights as something tries to keep them from leaving. Meanwhile, Commodore North ventures outside his comfort zone to socialise with Vaughn, Ambassador Mamao'lani helps Grum to negotiate with the Draco, and several crewmembers give interviews for a news article.

After the dust of the Romulan War has settled, Starfleet establishes its first deep space outpost, Starbase 1, on the mysterious world of Berengaria VII. While the new crew deal with the tension and chaos of getting the base operational, something lurks in the distant mountains, and it could threaten Earth's new hope for the future.

The year is 2158....

United Earth has been at war with The Romulan Star Empire for the past three years. During this time, our allies: The Vulcans, Andorians and Tellarites have each taken a more active role in the war effort.

We, and our coalition alike, have suffered many losses at the hands of our Romulan foes and there is much uncertainty as to the outcome of this wretched conflict.

The fate of Earth and the Alpha Quadrant itself rests in the bravery, integrity, and continued sacrifice of many. Will you join the fight to protect our home world, our way of life and help to secure our future in the stars?

Honestly, I'm hoping to get a crew together to run an independent Star Trek sim/freeform RP on Sundays (what time would depend on what the bulk of the players could handle.) It would probably be set during the Lost Era (movies to just before TNG,) but I'd be open to post-Dominion war. (Before I announce what it is, though, I'd kinda like to see if there's enough interest and which era players would prefer.)

The SS Mary Rose is 150-year-old vessel, meaning she is low on luxuries and high on maintenance. She cruises at warp 5 and the last exploring she did was back when Kirk was still fighting Klingons. In short, she is very much a working-class vessel, which means our focus is quality writing built on great characters and interesting situations. We are intending on nurturing a slower paced writing style, with interesting concepts in which our characters are forced to think and not fight, their way to survival.

Players will be encouraged to be proactive about the sims direction and the situations the crew encounters. We aim for an evolving story-arc that includes plenty of foreshadowing and provides all involved with invigorating challenges, fresh ideas and a fun environment to write in.

Please note that the game itself is run in a somewhat different fashion than most the usual run of the mill Star Trek sims. For instance, here, rank and position don't really have a set path, so while characters may have a star fleet or military background, we do not have career tracks. Everyone on-board will be a civilian and there is no real means for promotion apart from to department head.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to ask if someone here could write a fanfic with Jean-Luc Picard and the Borg Queen as Lovers. I've searched the entire web to get a good long fanfic with them, but sadly this is nowhere to find:(

I realley hope that someone could help me:) I even have already a plot for it:

During the events of First Contact, Picard give himself freely to the Queen and Become her Lover and Her Equal (The Queen was never Interested in Data only to get Picard jealous) and after that they rule as King and Queen over the Galaxy.

​

that would be a Dream if someone could that:)

​

very kind regards

The USS Bismarck was a recently commissioned vessel shortly after the Dominion War conclusion in 2375. The ship is a Galaxy Class ship designed to help the Federation fight in the Dominion War. With the war over the ship has been commissioned, and assigned to patrol, and help set up a civilian Cardassian government, and patrol the neutral zone between the new Cardassian government, and the Federation. The captain of the ship Thane Aduma, hopes to engage in peaceful relations with the Cardassians, and prevent the disasters that occurred within the neutral zone the last time. Many of the crew members where recruited throughout the Federation from war hero’s in the Dominion War to elite cadets who gained renowned from their combat experience in the war, and even a select few at the tops of their class fresh from the academy.
