Conflict has been more prevalent in Starfleet than exploration for the last thirty years. The peaceful ideal of exploration, while still at the heart of every Starfleet officer, has been tempered by the reality of the galaxy they live in. The Borg, the Cardassians, the Dominion, the Romulans. There’s been no shortage of enemies who wished to see the end of Starfleet and of the Federation and despite being victorious time and time again, Starfleet once more finds itself at the edge of conflict. Looking in and wondering when they’ll get back to being explorers.
The 9th ‘Obsidian Fleet’ stands at the edge of Federation space; a staging point for Starfleet, a beacon of the Federation for the local inhabitants, and a bastion against the oncoming conflicts of the sector. Deep in the Loki system, orbiting the the planet Obsidian III, is the Stardock class starbase known as Obsidian Command. From this vantage, the Joint Fleet Command sees to the leadership of the 9th Fleet and serves as the rally point for them all.
In 2395 unexplained forces drew the entirety of the Starbase into a spatial void. Crew were evacuated, supplies jettisoned and only a skeleton crew remained. Their job was to try to discover what had drawn the starbase into this void and, more importantly, manage a way to return the Station back to real space. In its absence, the sector was thrown into disarray. The balance of power between the Federation, the Romulans, and the Typhon Pact was thrown into chaos. For eighteen months this chaos continued before somehow, miraculously, the USS Vesta discovered the skeleton crew of the Starbase reaching out and devised a way to bring the Starbase back to normal space. Upsetting the balance once more, only this time in favor of the Federation.
Obsidian Command is once more the home to scientists, explorers, diplomats, warriors, shopkeepers, and the civilian families that come along with that. Here, you can find yourself face to face with the your worst enemy, or spend hours aimlessly wandering the shops and stalls of the Promenade. If you’re looking for an adventure, a quiet place to open your shop, or anything in-between, then Obsidian Command is the place for you. Join us today, and be a part of history.

Beautiful... Abso-lut-ely beautiful!
Brek was admiring a unique specimen, delivered to him by express courier and wrapped inside a nice layer of gold velvet fabric. You know you’ve been treated with respect when even the packaging is a keeper. The item in question was the sculpture - in pure latinum,…

There weren't enough words of gratitude in any of the languages he knew to encompass what he felt after Mia and Hannah helped him get accustomed to his newborn child. He was sure that they knew, as the big man had almost been in tears when he discovered how they…

Ibis leaned into the doorpost of their room where Wallace was sitting at the desk, reading messages on the terminal. He was fairly absorbed and so she waited, tracing the profile of his face and watching the small clenching and unclenching of his jaw and the little movements of muscles…

The longer she stared at it, the less sense it made.
Olivia saw the lines and squiggles on the glowing surface, but resolving them into sounds in her head was slow. She looked up from the primer display and around at the rest of the room around her. The classroom…

A’Koja Dea took her coffee to go this morning, although there was a long stop before the going. The wait at the pick up counter was brutal enough to make her wish she’d just poured some hot water over some beans in her office and not wandered out into public.…
