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!

Commodore Geisler nodded to the Bolian chef who had just finished setting the table. Neither man spoke about what had happened in the room yesterday, even though it was absolutely certain that the Bolian knew what had happened. The chef had served with Harvey since taking command of the first…

The quarters on deck six for junior offers would have suited just about any crew member who didn't have to share space with another officer or enlisted, but there were rare occasions when someone else decided that they liked someone else's quarters more than their own. Such as this instance…

The holodeck scene was a tranquil one, rolling green fields overlooking the sea with the sun shining brightly from the clear blue sky. A large blanket laid out on the ground was the venue for the group of survivors who sat with T’Mari. She’d purposely chosen a small group of…

"Your objective seems simple enough, but is more dangerous than you all might realize. Retrieve the bio-neural gel packs and as much of the databases that you are able to," Joey said to the gathered teams. "Make sure you remain aware of your surroundings, look out for each other and…

We have now entered Day 2 of our mission. It will be brief both IC and OOC as I plan to jump us to Day 3 in a week or two where we'll arrive at Gavara and be a little busy.
Feel free to have your characters interact with survivors, perform duties, or just explore the ship. As always, I'm available for JPs. Just reach out to me in DM, or fire up a starter and I'll join you.
For ideas, check out 50 Mission Post Ideas: https://database.anurasims.com/index.php?title=50_Mission_Post_Ideas
The Mission Notes within Nova here have been updated, don't hesitate to refer to those.
And, finally, I'm seeking volunteers to participate in an "Command" post at Gavara that will involve COs and XOs from ships in the Task Group. If you're interested, send me a ping!

» Where'd They Go?
Posted on 10 Jun 2024 @ 1:46pm by Commodore (Brevet) Harvey Geisler in Website Update
For years, the Black Hawk has used 2 different saved mission posts on the backend for OOC Chat and Mission Chat. These have served several purposes, but mainly, they do prevent much of the crew from obtaining that elusive "Yellow Light."
You know the one? It's when you've tagged in all of your available JPs but that green light is still there because you can't save either of the OOC documents.
As of today, that will no longer be a problem. I have (sneakily) deleted both the OOC Chat and Mission Chat. The items in the Mission Chat (namely the Google Doc with the mission thoughts and ideas) will now be seen whenever you write a JP. And the OOC chat... that's largely been replaced with DMs and Discord. I know that not all crew is active in the Discord, so all major announcements will still be made via the site.
If anyone has any questions, please let anyone in the Command Team know. Happy simming!

Please welcome our new Chief Engineer, Lieutenant Ranul Frex. Frex is an interesting character, a joined Trill/El Aurian hybrid!

Please welcome our new Chief Flight Control Officer, Ensign Wysocki. In this case, Ensign is a provisional rank as the character is technically a senior cadet. I'll update the display ranks when possible to reflect this, especially since I need to make another update there soon...

A security patch was issued last night for Nova. I have applied that patch this morning. Please DM me if you experience anything out of the ordinary.
