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.

Curled up on the sofa with Ikemba, Ibis formed a mother nesting doll covering the little one. Olivia had school, and Wallace planned to pick her up. So Ibis had taken Ikemba to the library earlier that afternoon. They’d browsed the shelved collection for a bit, but Ikemba still hadn’t…

Aaron Childress stepped through the transport’s exterior hatch into a short round umbilical that connected the ship to Obsidian Command. Bangs of white hair, tinged at the ends with brown, and normally swept up had fallen into his deep brown eyes. His arms were full, however, with suitcases, so he…

Engineering conferences weren't exactly her cup of tea, but as much as she could get away from her day-to-day or even bring it with her, Captain DeHavilland had tried to spend as much time as she could in and around in the conference. She wanted the participants of all ranks…

Otath checked every hover cam he had, cycling the power, testing the auto lenses.
“Hey!” Brenna huffed at the andorian. “I thought you weren’t bringing those! You said we had to use old handhelds!” They bumped past one another as they were uncrating gear in the close quarters of the…

Mission: M4 - Falling Out
Posted on 30 Nov 2025 @ 12:06pm by Commander Calliope Zahn & Lieutenant Commander Maurice Rubens
The unnamed, unclassed Romulan shuttle entered Loki III’s atmosphere, the large patches of glassy black volcanic rock reflecting its star's light and giving it the appearance that it was hurtling toward a broken mirror. It would have been beautiful to any other traveler, but this ship was not crewed by…
