Mission 25 - Bait and Switch



The Golden Stars lurked in the shadows. The Consortium destroyed from within. The Dolmoqour used the best parts of yourself to betray your kin.

For the last two years, the crew of the Akira-Class USS Black Hawk-B have been forced through the tumbler where rocks become precious gems. This ship and crew now are among the best and the brightest in the Gamma Quadrant. Some have started families, others have found love, and others find solace in the bottom of a bottle.

The USS Black Hawk is now returning to the unknown, no longer on missions to dig and investigate deep, dark secrets, but to boldly go where no one has gone before. Little do any of them know that what they will soon encounter will be their greatest test of all!

Are you among the brave, bold, and curious in the Federation? Do you want to be a part of a decorated sim that has received multiple accolades from the simming community at large, including being recognized as a 2018 Squiddie recipient? Then the Black Hawk is for you!

Joey sat slumped against the cold bulkhead on the floor, the dim emergency lighting casting flickering shadows across the cell's grimy walls. The stench of rusted metal and stale air clung to the confined space, mingling with the faint acrid scent of burnt circuitry. The forcefield flickered erratically, its unstable…

Two long, arduous days had passed since D'rimo and his goons had forced the Golden Stars to load up the Flotsam and hastily attached cargo pods with copious amounts of birythium. And, while there was only a single ship in orbit of Mellon, six fighter-size craft had been launched from…

"Commodore's Log, Stardate 67515.0

"It's hard to believe that it's been a week since our plight in the nebula. Six hours after we were forced to vacate when the flight deck doors were destroyed, causing minor damage to the bow, we lost contact with three of the probes that we…

It wasn't too long ago that Joey dismissed everyone from the launch bay, and now that the bodies of the injured and deceased were taken to sickbay, the Chief of Intelligence sat inside the damaged shuttle alone. They'd gone over things with a fine toothed comb, but there wasn't much…

It was staggering how quickly two hundred colonists had been rounded up by Confederation forces. There might had been only a small handful that invaded the Carter family home, but it was clear that there was at least one armed gunman for every three colonists. That ratio was quickly being…


» Mission 26 complete

With the release of "The Hornet's Nest," Mission 26 is now complete. I will get the Wiki and website homepage updated later this week.


» Massive Update

Posted on 05 Jun 2025 @ 5:24am by Commodore Harvey Geisler in General News

Hi ho everyone,

There were a lot of posts this morning that have been waiting to come out for both Mission 25 and Mission 26.

Mission 25 is over.

Mission 26 has one post remaining and will come in the next 48 hours.

And Mission 27 has started.

Each post that has been released today is a REQUIRED read. By doing so, you will learn...

- Why our Chief of Security and her team have been so quiet lately
- How the spacecraft was able to escape the Black Hawk
- How Harvey and Joey wound up unconscious in the flight deck
- G90B's true identity

For Mission 27, the description is on the site along with the Google Doc. I won't say anything more about that mission in this announcement, because (as River Song says) spoilers.

No all-crew JP for a while. Please pair up with JPs, or even work on a solo or two. I will get some things going when I return from abroad.

Happy Simming!

» Upcoming Server Outage

Posted on 16 Oct 2024 @ 8:34am by Commodore Harvey Geisler in Website Update

Hello everyone,

I have just learned that the webserver the Black Hawk is hosted on will be undergoing maintenance on Friday, October 18, 2024 beginning at 10pm Eastern. During this time, the sim will be moved to a new server, and the site will be available for up to four hours.

In order to make sure no changes are lost, I will be locking the site around 9pm Eastern that night. I will unlock the site Saturday morning once I've verified that all is good.

If you have any questions, please reach out to me in DM.
