Hailing Frequencies Open
From 2256 to 2257, the brutal conflict of The Federation–Klingon War left scars that have yet to completely heal. Though a fragile peace endures, it remains strained, compounded by the looming and persistent danger of the Gorn Hegemony and other galactic threats.
Cold-blooded, relentless, and deeply territorial, the Gorn have entrenched themselves across large portions of the Beta Quadrant and continue to press their claws further into the flesh of the Alpha Quadrant. Their assault on the Federation colony at Parnassus Beta in 2259 signaled that open conflict that continues to spread.
In the aftermath of these events, the Arcadia enters a new chapter. Now 2261, the ship’s continuing mission is entrusted to Captain William H. Abernathy, a seasoned officer whose career in security and command has been defined by preparation, restraint, and resolve. Under his leadership, the Arcadia resumes her role as a stabilizing presence during an uncertain era.
Tasked with continuing on its five-year mission, the Arcadia works to bridge relationships within the Federation and among its allies, strengthen the Federation's defensive readiness, provide aid and relief to worlds still recovering from war, and safeguard the Federation's interests without surrendering its ideals.

Mission: Forgotten Wounds
Posted on Mon May 4th, 2026 @ 3:04pm by Lieutenant Commander Oscar McDonald MD & Lieutenant Chloe O'Connor MD
This was the eye of the storm. The calm quiet which had settled merely a precursor to the potential danger looming on the horizon like the darkest of clouds.
Triage of the rescued passengers and crew was completed, the intensive preparation paying dividends when the shuttles full of men, women and children began returning to the Arcadia. Every member of his team had executed their duties with faultless professionalism, ensuring those in greatest need were given priority while even the most minor injuries were tended to quickly. Ensign Millar had even put on an impromptu magic show and was currently…

ON:
They were going to get Sabastian back. That was all that mattered. Poe kept focus on that as the room filed its way out. Abernathy had asked him to stay behind. He got a glare from Eli telling him to behave. He knew enough to do so, but that still didn't make him less mad at the Captain.
Bill had requested Poe to stay behind for several reasons, namely because it did not take a Betazoid to read between the pulses of emotion. "Poe, I cannot begin to put into words the emotions that I understand you are going…

ON:
Tholos, the new Chief Engineer, sat at the table. Elyse had told the Captain, it seemed, that about 80% of the department wanted a transfer for him included. The Captain wanted to use the Counselor to help everyone cope with Walker's death. He listened without hearing. He doubted that the people in this room could make a difference.
"Engineering is broken," Elyse commented, "a bit of counselling may very well help, but the corridors and department has it's ghosts of memories. We need to find a solution until the end of this mission. Right now, it is dangerous."

"I--I--," Elyse stutter and stammered, putting the chocolate down, "I-- I mean... I mean it j-just caught me off g-guard."
"We agreed to honesty." He sighed as he handed her a towel. "I can finish here while you change."
Elyse nodded and looked down, her cheeks still flushing, "w-well, if we're b-b-b-being honest. I would not be opposed."
"The question is do we act on it?"
Elyse turned to face him properly, gazing up into his eyes. She remained silent, unsure in how to answer. Of course she wanted to act on it, but was it too much, too…

ON:
True to her word, Elyse went home that evening, having dealt with Poe and had started measuring out the ingredients for her own recipe of chocolate cake. She had changed into some civilian clothes, just some leggings and an academy tank top and was wearing an apron. She was looking forward to repaying the favour of looking after Tholos in his time of need.
Hearing the chime, she smiled to herself, "enter." Elyse looked over the counter and smiled seeing Tholos, "hey. I'm in the kitchen and I promise I'm not standing on a counter giving a light a…

I awoke with is name on my lips yet again. It had been only weeks since the last dream. Dreams of his woodsy and floral sent of orange blossom and bergamot. A sent that surrounded me for a while until a purple eyed demon took him from me.
Tossing the covers back I perched on the edge of the bed for a moment before walking towards the desk that held my new orders. Finally, a break. I had been trying to get myself back to where he was for years and just when I decided to quit and storm…

Tanina stood beneath the canopy of fairy lights strung between the old olive trees, her hand resting lightly on Dario’s arm. The warm breeze carried the laughter and music from the dance floor, blending with the scents of lavender and the faint tang of wine from the surrounding vineyards. Her eyes found Adrianna and Vance among the dancers, their movements fluid and effortless as if they had been made for each other.
“She’s beautiful,” Dario said softly, his voice low and filled with pride.
Tanina glanced at him, a tender smile curving her lips, “She is. More beautiful than I…

The Baciami family vineyard glowed under the warm embrace of the late afternoon sun. Rows of vines stood proudly, the leaves rustling gently in the breeze as though whispering secrets of love and legacy. In her childhood bedroom, Adrianna stood before a full length mirror, suddenly feeling quite nervous. The delicate lace of her wedding gown glowed softly in the light streaming through the open window. It had been carefully preserved, tucked away for decades– Tanina’s wedding dress, now hers.
The old wooden door creaked open. Adrianna turned to see her mother step inside, a bouquet of lavender, rosemary and…

My Vance,
This is the last letter I’ll write to you before I become your wife.
I wanted to tell you that the promise I made to you years ago, when you gave up trying to kiss me-- I've not gone through with it. I've not told the officiant to change the wording of the ceremony from ‘you may now kiss the bride' to 'you may now stare longingly and awkwardly at the bride from a respectable distance’.
Anyway, by the time you read this, I’ll be hours away from walking down the aisle, ready to stand before the man…

*** Some Years Ago ***
The party had finally ended, and the villa was silent. The hum of celebration, the clinking of glasses, and the warmth of family laughter had faded into the hush of the countryside. Adrianna’s family had gone to bed, their joy giving way to the heavy stillness of sleep. All but Giovanni, who stood on the balcony, his broad frame silhouetted against the silver glow of the moon. He held a ring box in his hand, turning it idly as his dark eyes scanned the vineyard stretching endlessly below.
Adrianna found him there, her footsteps were…
