The briefing room aboard the USS Yorktown hummed with low conversation and the faint vibration of a starship running at full readiness. The overhead holo‑projector flickered to life, casting a rotating wireframe of a dense asteroid cluster—jagged, irregular, and packed tight enough to make capital‑ship maneuvering suicidal.
Commander Rourke, Yorktown’s tactical chief, stepped forward.
“Alright, Black Knights, settle in. We’ve got a situation.”
The room quieted. Lieutenant Commander Jonathan ‘Jax’ Carter stood near the front, arms folded, helmet tucked under one arm, the emblem of the 325th Black Knights—a stylized knight in a starfield—glinting on his flight jacket.
Rourke tapped…
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!
POST Going Hunting
POST In the Lab
Once the Captain had removed himself from the main sickbay, he proceeded with haste to the medical lab. On the way, he armed himself with a medical tricorder and a padd synced with the ship's logbook and departmental reports database so he could receive the reports from the Away Team once they'd had a chance to record all of the information. He also took the opportunity to put on a hazmat suit. Although both he and Doctor Monroe had been infected, Monroe had been exposed to... whatever this was the longest, and without knowing how quickly she'd react, or how…
POST Confined to Sickbay
T’Mari had spent a little time simply making her rounds reassuring others, and offering some comfort to those who needed it. She paused massaging her temples, her headache was getting worse rather than better, and she was finding her senses more sensitive than ever. She wasn’t sure what it meant, but she didn’t like it.
Maddy leaned back slightly from the illuminated console, her eyes burning slightly as the final lines of the comprehensive report on the Tiburon’s recent operations in the nebula finished compiling.
A heavy, lingering fatigue began to settle over her bones, accompanied by a subtle, uncomfortable…
POST Stuck on the Bridge
==== Bridge ====
Thirty minutes had passed since the relief team had come to the bridge and sequestered themselves in the Conference Room. In that time, a feeling of unease had come across the bridge. For Quinn Mackie, the operations officer still manning the forward Squadron Operations console, a feeling of helplessness had overcome him. The real danger sat below decks, deep down in sickbay where Tiburon crew members suffered greatly from some biological marvel and Black Hawk crewmembers idly stood by, seeing their future in those patients. It was only a matter of time before what happened to the…
POST Lockdown
Joey stood beside the center chair, shoulders squared, gaze sweeping across every officer on the bridge. She cleared her throat. “By order of Captain Geisler,” she began, voice edged with the gravity of the moment, “I’ve been placed in command of the ship.”
Her hand rested lightly on the back of the chair, grounding herself as she continued. “The remaining crew of the Tiburon were infected with a mutagenic virus. It’s already begun altering them. Because of that, the bridge will be placed under full lockdown until we can determine the extent of the threat.”
A flicker of relief crossed…
NEWS Just a Facelift
Hi all! I've just uploaded a fresh theme to the website called "Black Hawk 2027." This will look a bit familiar, however there are a few noticeable changes...
1. All navigation has been moved to the sidebar.
2. The admin panel has been updated with collapsible subnav panels.
3. Writing posts and DMs will have a fresher look.
4. The manifest got a nice visual update.
5. The header no longer has that weird black vertical stripe off to the left.
There are a few other surprises throughout, but all in the name of housecleaning.
