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.

Rhian set about various tasks about her quarters, mindful of the guest occupying her couch and not wanting to wake him. The effects of the herbs had worn away within the first hour and his sleep had grown more restless. She was of a mind to wake him when an…

The doors to the observation lounge slid closed behind them. Within thirty seconds, the dockyards became considerably less impressive. And considerably more real. David led the way through a personnel access corridor and toward one of the lifts connecting the observation level with the operational galleries below. The carpeting disappeared…

“Yes, I’m trying to reach Commander Harkin,” Rice stared at the holographic figure that had appeared in the chair in front of his desk. The petty officer - a small blonde man with porcelain skin - held up a finger while he tapped his comm badge. Whatever he was saying…

[ON:]
The first thing anyone heard was breathing. Slow breathing and controlled. Close enough to the microphone that every measured exhale crossed the subspace link and spilled into the Marine Division Spectrum Operations Center aboard Obsidian Command.

As was his way, Silas took his time. He had left enough of a margin that he could take a scenic route to his appointment in one of the interior, dockyard observation lounges.
All along the way as he walked, Silas was watching through the viewing glass looking into the…
