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.

Rice’s fork roamed aimlessly through the noodles covered with a bright green pesto, creating alien patterns on the white plate with the long strips of pasta. In the background of his thoughts, he heard Moon and her mother, Bong Cha, prattling on about the latest stream of fashion shows emanating…

Honor swept the beads of sweat from her brow with a green handkerchief and adjusted her wide-brimmed hat and considered the finished dish the vendor had offered her from his booth. On a bed of what looked like watercress – a seemingly impossible thing in this burnt environment – lay…

“This is good, yes? Hm, I said to you just this very morning, ‘call on me anytime’, and then you appear once more at the spaceport not so very long after! Lucky for you I am happening to trade in Itonia on the morrow.” Between checking his altimeters, the dark-haired…

The bulkheads on the tiny ship were a little thin, as evidenced by the sound of Nehrim Dylben’s hurking in the head adjoining the bridge. Between every other round of the remaining dry heaving there was an involuntary whimper.
“Go ahead and get it all out. You’ll be fine,” Medic…

When Tāne HaiRoa had first arrived as the new CMC some months prior, it had taken time to adjust to his shifts as Commander of the Watch of Obsidian Command. Unlike the average nightwatch aboard ship, there was no such thing as a ‘slow…
