It's time to give the new ship a proper shakedown... during a classic milk run.

Sentience

Post Count: 63

A new year brings new adventures. The USS Black Hawk, fully repaired and extensively refit following her near-fatal mission in the Convergence Zone, is launched from Gamma Command to perform a light shakedown cruise in order for her crew to become comfortable with the changes aboard the starship. Holographic interfaces and avatars, new technology, uniforms, and even procedures to help maintain safety aboard the legendary vessel.

However, the Golden Stars… the Consortium… the Dolmoqour… none of them could have ever prepared the crew for a set of perfect conditions and an ion storm, and the birth of a new Artificial Intelligence that sees the nearly nine hundred souls aboard as an invading virus.

For the full summary, see this wiki article.

The shakedown cruise brings the Black Hawk to a nebula where it can test the improvements on the sensors. When the lifeless hull of a Federation starship is detected inside, Captain Geisler orders the Black Hawk to enter and investigate.

Little does he know that the ship is walking into a trap...

Extinction

Post Count: 74

The Black Hawk, having recently uncovered a fresh band of piracy operating freely on the edge of Starfleet space, is assigned to patrol the Argatha sector in hopes of finding a lead on a pirate haven. Upon arrival, the Black Hawk’s long-range sensors pick up an uncharted binary system in the western quadrant and moves to investigate, only to discover the system mostly lifeless, aside from the remains of an extinct civilization on the second planet. The investigation continues, and the mystery deepens, especially when they discover something absolutely shocking...

Regrouping

Post Count: 15

The Century-class Black Hawk has been prematurely decommissioned.

Captain Geisler has been shamed for the loss, but even still 3 years after the tragedy at Mars, Starfleet is still short ships and qualified leaders, the latter of which Geisler still barely qualifies for.

Admiral O'Connell has pulled every last string to keep Geisler in the center chair, but it has come at the loss of most of Geisler's crew. What loyal members Geisler has left gather aboard the newest ship to bear the Black Hawk's name. Together, with new faces, the Black Hawk prepares to return to its mission, patrolling the Gamma Quadrant and seeking out the roots of piracy...

Return to Razmena

Post Count: 25

Relieved at last, the Black Hawk returns to its primary mission: rooting out the pirate haven. Captain Geisler has decided to take a more proactive role and sets course for Razmena, an independent space station not far from Gavara and Starbase Unity. What will they find?

Shattered Unity

Post Count: 38

With the remains of the USS Gaittithe in tow, the Black Hawk travels to Starbase Unity. What awaits them is a horror unseen since the rise of the Consortium. Can the crew of the Black Hawk break the mystery that is quickly overpowering Federation assets in the Gamma Quadrant?

Bait and Switch

Post Count: 1

With Task Group Belvedere deploying a sensor net along a line from Gavara across New Risa to Altair, the crew of the Black Hawk, along with two other ships, work to set a trap near Nebula G71-2B. Sensors are unable to penetrate the nebula, leaving the crew to think that it’s a good place for someone to hide.

The trap, a convoy assembled from Gamma Command’s two Defiant class escorts and two of their Wallenburg transports, is dispatched from Gavara to New Risa. The Black Hawk and its escorts attempt to mask their warp signatures as they follow the convoy, ready to jump in within seconds once (if) their mysterious attackers reveal themselves.
