Obsidian Command


OC_2023.svgConflict 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.

“Wouldn’t it be easier to just use old reels from about any other backwater desert town we’ve been to?” Brenna was exasperated already, hauling cameras by hand. They’d been warned ahead not to use the hover mode on the recording equipment, as it was strictly prohibited to fly anything like…

Wandering here and there and virtually everywhere, Brek had landed near a group of Vulcan engineers who were comparing thoughts on the tech behind drone swarms. With those, they knew, one could share data and optimize everything, instantly, from logistics, search-and-rescue, and defense. Even decisions at the command level would…

Eloise Khadra-Vogel pitched her shoes off, one after the other, the double staccato playing sharply off the walls of the mostly empty room.

“Am I losing my edge?” She asked no one. The newscaster shook her head. She wasn’t still a leading reporter for the Federation’s primary interstellar news syndicate…

Temptation, staring at him with insolence, was there for a third UBC. Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger. There were two of them left on a tray emblazoned with the Starfleet logo. They could both be his... They put roasted beetles and fried grasshoppers to shame, and it was a wonder how his…

“That the Davit guy?”

It was dim in the observation hall when Lofthammer led the way inside. Calliope was still in her event getup as she came up to the one-sided glass of the interview room. She could see inside as Deputy Marshal T’Sai questioned an obstinate Tellerite. The Vulcan…
