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!

USS Demeter, a nebula-class of an interchangeable mission pod, slid into casual warp leaving the Sol system. Battle-worn and scrappy, she glided along the corridor of speeding lights and floating space debris. Holding a crew complement of seven hundred and fifty crew, it became Mak's first real Starfleet service. Along…

Posted on 27 Dec 2025 @ 3:18am by Lieutenant JG Aerie Mak
At its peak, the midday sun illuminated the rolling countryside and suburbs of New Rakantha, bathing the Shan Homestead in warm light. The dirt driveway came from the northwest of the rustic Bajoran homestead and ran towards the front porch. The single‑story estate stretched gently to the southeast, its soft…

The clear, blue skies sprawled against the green, mountainous backdrop of New Bajor, a colony defended by a station called Gamma Command. The cool wind blew through the trees as the green leaves swayed, waiting for someone to make a move. Overlooking a small hill with lines of graves, two…

Camila sat in her quarters aboard the Black Hawk and looked down at her hands. So many thoughts went through her mind and she didn't know where to start sorting them out. First and foremost was that she had failed to protect the ship and crew again. Then the ships…

With that, Mission 27 AND Season 4 have come to an end. "Imposters Among Us" will remain open for all of those remaining posts to come to an end.
I want to thank each and every one of you. Without your contributions, your willingness to participate in this wild and crazy sim and these torturous adventures, none of this would be possible.
So, what's next?
Well, for us players, we are officially in the holiday season. Feel free to write as time and muse allows.
For our characters, we're going to employ the ever-popular timeskip. The current In-Character date is July 8, 2390. Season 5 will begin in late-January 2391. That's roughly five months later.
During these five months, there will be shore leave and patrolling the Gavara system and surrounding sectors. Quiet life. Feel free to write for your characters during that time in Mission 28: Interlude. New characters are welcome to officially join us during this time.
If you have any questions, reach out to me on Discord. Happy holidays!!!

As we finish our current mission, I've gone ahead and opened our next one "Epitaph." This will be an "interlude" mission that will be happening between now and January 1st when we'll kick off Season 5. A few JPs have already started there.
This mission will span from July 9, 2390 to February 1, 2391. During this time, the Black Hawk will be operating out of Gavara IV and will make regular runs to Gamma Command.
If you have any questions, feel free to hit me up in DM.

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.

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!
