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.

After photos, Ibis’ parents and brother had fallen into more of the same. While her family was having their own mini drama— complete with a string section playing in the background, no less— Ibis slid her hand into Wallace’s. She looked up at him, concern in her eyes.

The evening was nice, just like it had been organized. People milled around and enjoyed the refreshments. Kids played in the grass, making up games with the hoops and sticks and lawn toys someone had thoughtfully included (Ibis hadn’t remembered planning them). The music set the mood of a lovely…

They were now a few minutes away from the big reveal. Who had won what and at what cost? There would be joy, disappointment, maybe even anger. Although looking at how collected the crowd was, talking softly and amiably to each other, Brek realized that the high energy was only…

The sun was setting out across the Desert landscape, casting a growing shadow across the sandy expanse below. Behind where he perched, high in the crags of the Colony border, Oly knew those same shadows had cast the space into the muted gloom of evening. He savored the cool that…

.: [[OC - T’Sheng Quarters]] :.
T’Sheng was traveling light. Two bags held her essentials: clothes, a first aid kit, dehydrated meals, and a set of tools. The real groundwork - the preparations, precautions, and coordination - would be managed by the charity organization she had recently joined. Aptly named…
