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 stumbled slightly as the guards shoved her inside, falling awkwardly against the wall before she regained her footing. Harvey was shoved in right behind her, followed by the hum of the forcefield sealing them in once again like a punctuation mark—final, cruel, and familiar.
She didn’t speak at first,…

The moment Camila left the Auxiliary bridge, she nearly sprinted to the nearest turbolift, dodging around personnel who quickly stepped aside at the look of fury on the Security Chief's face. She waited impatiently for the turbolift to arrive, then stepped in.
"Deck Four, Armory. Security overrider. No stops," she…

Harvey literally could not remember the last time he called for general quarters in advance of an emergency. One could argue that it was a benefit of his young age and incomplete memories, but the simple truth was that most of his summons to stations were largely reactionary. Over the…

Harvey's eyes fluttered open, the initial glaze disappearing once he realized that his surroundings had changed. The room was still dimly lit, but the air seemed crisper, fresher, and even lighter than it had been the last few days. His eyes struggled to focus as his left hand fumbled in…

As promised, the missing elements from Task Group Belvedere had arrived at New Risa with the USS Challenger being the last to arrive. Harvey, having just completed a situational review with the arriving Captains, and another review of the plan he and Joey had been formulating, stepped out into the…

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!

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.
