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.

Inimik pulled at the edges of her deep purple hood, fighting the wind the whipped up with the storm crackling overhead. Behind her, she could hear Reven’s boots slapping into the puddles that had formed in the low spots of the undulating walkway that led deeper into the Kal-toi neighborhood…

“This is my bench.” T’Sheng uttered the phrase with authority. She was both puzzled and annoyed that someone had had the audacity to sit at the other end of ‘her’ bench. An elegant weathered wooden seat with a metal backrest. All civilised people had a notion of private space and…

The gift had been unexpected. Inimik had learned long ago never to look a gift yathaki under the wing – and the opposition research was just that. The message just quoted a Romulan proverb about benevolence toward strangers from far away lands. Soon a communique from a Federation Ambassador appeared…

Kastor paced the room, in a slow circle. He was genuinely anxious about the call that he was about to make. He had a number of suspicions about how it would go, and he was convinced that while his mother would be happy...he'd be disappointing her deeply in such a…

The Engineer's Mate was a CPO named Sanwain Escher. He'd been on every Pathfinder ride that Calliope had and several more before that. Presently he was busy updating Commander Zahn as she surveyed the damage. Several shield emitters were gone and as many maneuvering thrusters lost. They'd had three breaches…
