the Empok Nor Rattle
Neverwinter Nights announces its reopening in just a few days time. The newest of the Station’s night clubs was damaged recently by an attack by an ancient Red Dragon named Mixiflow Blazebringer who has opted to take up residency as DJ for at least the next few months.
Owner, Drowkisser Drillys told the Rattle that despite the damage and obvious lengths it takes to keep a dragon entertained, he’s delighted by the residency and encourages patrons to come back to the club and dress the part as treasure for the Dragon to horde.…
» Fight Breaks out During Federation Council meeting
Posted on Tue Jul 8th, 2025 @ 6:27pm by Commander Rhupert Tyree in General News
By:Nees Jahn Kijn for the Federation News Service.
A fistfight broke out today between the Andorran and Tellurite delegates after news was brought to the Council that starships belonging to both members were involved in a small battle. Four Tellurite ships moved to block three Andorran ships (all supposed freighters at the beginning of the conflict) from approaching Star base twelve.
Admiral Serene Phillips, Commanding officer of StarBase twelve dispatched runabouts to break up the fight.
“I don’t know what they were thinking of,” Admiral Phillips stated. “The squabble started when we had a docking section go down for repair…

Displays across the quadrant are interrupted by feedback for a fifteen seconds, then a rippling white flag, with a fanged and horned skull over a blood red disc appeared.
“Hello Federation dogs and their puppets. I’m looking at you Cardassia and the so called Klingon Empire. We are the Ashen Hand and by now you know we are responsible for the love taps on Empok Nor. That’s just the start. The Federation is a fractured entity, no longer able to keep the peace within their borders and their citizens are disillusioned with the status-quo. The Ashen Hand is change my…

Breaking News. Terror Attacks on Empok Nor.
By Amelen Fong, Federation News Service.
Explosions ripped the quiet evening (local time) at the jointly managed Nor Class Space Station Empok Nor in the Trivas system. As of the fgiling of this report, station officials have declined to comment officially.
Un-Officially, the death toll stands at forty three with nearly a hundred more injured and another hundred listed as missing. The primary explosion occurred at the newly launched evening dance club called Neverwinter Nights. The popular venue was at its maximum capacity at the time of the explosion.
The night club wasn’t…
» Unrest in Antica. StarFleet issues navigational warning for Sector 500.
Posted on Mon Dec 23rd, 2024 @ 4:44pm by Commander Rhupert Tyree in General News
By Tricia Takenawa, Independent News Service.
Two days ago, Starfleet Command through the Federation Bureau of State issued a travel warning for Sector 500, specially the transit lanes around Antica space as unrest on the Federation member world grows.
In the past month, a separatist movement calling itself the Ashen Hand has taken responsibility for a number of fire bombing incidents on Antican worlds and today, a rash of fire bombings around the UFP offices on Selay. The Selay and Anticans have a long history of warfare between the species, only finding peace twenty five years ago when both were…

Mission: On the Trail
Posted on Mon Nov 17th, 2025 @ 10:51pm by Ensign Nyx Calder & Commander Daynah Ral
The transporter beam let go, and Ensign Nyx Calder landed on the arrivals concourse of Empok Nor.
She’d expected dead corridors, shadows, maybe the kind of silence you could cut with a butter knife. Instead, the place was alive — humming with bodies, uniforms, and the low thrum of too many conversations happening at once. Starfleet red and gold cut through clusters of Cardassian grey, civilians wove between traders, and somewhere overhead an announcement blared in both Federation Standard and Cardassian.
Nyx blinked, neon tips of her shoulder-length hair flashing as she turned in a slow circle. The bones of…

The lights in the galley dimmed slightly to reflect the ships (relative) time of day. The smell from supper still hung in the air, along with the coffee and tea that had been brewed. The low sound of conversation hummed within the compartment and low bluesy music played in the background.
Rhu finished wiping down the galley surfaces and rewarded himself with a topped up mug of caff. It had been his turn to cook again and he’d opted for a tomato forward casserole that had involved fried eggplant, tomato, minced lamb, onions, and a variety of seasoning with plenty…

Biv stared at the transporter log, tracing pathways, his jaw tightening and facial features icy as he ran through things again. He was currently in a small work room adjacent to the bay where the Valiant was currently pulled apart.
Literally. Biv had drawn the short straw for liberty since the Commander, whom he noticed had taken all of the senior staff on some hush hush mission, and left the enlisted work bees to do the work.
And now Biv was biting at his lip and decided he needed to share this… And more importantly, get a second set of…

Aboard Empok Nor
Captain Tesha Force (Star Fleet/Retired) walked through the corridors of Empok Nor dressed in mufti, surveying the cosmetic damage from the Ashen Hand’s attack. She’d cued up corresponding intel reports from multiple sources, which in retrospect was mostly guest work.
She expected that of initial reports. Generally you used old information to pain the best current picture you could. Fleet Intel, new Caradassian Intel (rebranded Obsidian Order), Federation Intel, and rumblings from the other major players (Roman, Klingon and Ferengi) had speculated on the Hand’s simultaneous attacks on Empok and the raid on the Savant Royal.

Rhu puttered and found himself pacing. He didn’t like having his crew out, likely in harms way on an away mission while he cooled his heels aboard the Adelaide. In retrospect, it was foolish to be here alone and he was kinda getting that.
On the other hand, it was on the edge of what a tramp freighter captain would likely do, if they just didn’t report the signal onward and go about their business. Every hour. Every hour would cost a ship like this profit, though Rhu could reasonably argue the point that his passengers had talked him into…

Captain’s log, Rhupert Tyree commanding aboard the SS. Adelaide.
While following leads chasing down rumors that I believe are accurate on the Ashen Hand, Adelaide picked up an odd distress call from one Proctor Amalian Dreth of Avan’s Colony. This Colony is located on Quatral Prime, a world in the Cardassian side of the often contested border with the Federation. The Planet is infamous for having started out as a Cardassian mining world where they concentrated their efforts on harvesting Hydrogen from the atmosphere and converting it to deuterium for antimatter power sources.
In early 2373, the Maquis attacked the…

Captain’s Log, Stardate 298096.73424534505
I’ve split my officer’s into two groups to pursue leads on the Pirates, and more directly their backer. To these ends, Commander Rahl and Lieutenant Meren are to approach the trader, probable smuggler Brexis when they arrive at DS9 in ten days. Their cover is up to them but I’ve made discretionary funds and transport available to them. We’ll see how that goes. Dayna is having a crises of conscious when it comes to working for Fed Intel. Ideals versus work that actually needs to be done. Maybe it was a mistake retaining a Scientist as…

Captain's Log, USS Valiant. Commander Rupert Tyree Commanding.
In pursuant to orders from Vice Admiral Koratt Th’keliss, under the Seal of the President of the Federation, we (USS Valiant and crew) have ben seconded to Federation Intelligence and ordered into Delaxian space (Spaniard, 2487 Beta Quadrant) to find and hunt down a pirate group working the shipping lanes there.
However, our mission is not to simply end the pirate threat, but rather hunt down people backing the pirates as it seems they have top notch ships and are well crewed. To that, both SI and FI haven't been able to…

The Valiant, in all her glory, sat in her berth at DS9. After the mess with the Lemures, Rianna was still smelling the residual odor left behind. No matter what she did, or used, the stench was still there. Could it be that it was all made up in her mind? Sure but why? Curtis had been busy as always so it left her to tinker with the engineering systems of the Valiant. Rianna wanted to make the Defiant class go just a tad faster than the normal specs allowed, so she had to do several new computations of variances…
