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.

Dear fellow writers,
As many of you may know, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, the series that has served as one of our primary anchor for telling stories aboard the USS Arcadia, is approaching its final season, with its last six episodes on the horizon. While it's bittersweet to see this chapter of Star Trek come to a close, I want to reassure everyone of one very important thing: the USS Arcadia isn't going anywhere!
When asked several of you to build Arcadia with me it was after deciding that we had exhausted ourselves with several years of writing on…

Mission: Echoes in the Triangle
Posted on Sun Oct 25th, 2026 @ 7:34pm by Lieutenant Sornax & Lieutenant Lanna Alexander
Sornax had finally had the chance to discover one of his guilty pleasures: relaxing in the ship's arboretum. The one on Arcadia was much larger and admittedly more beautiful than the one aboard the Yggdrasil. But the ships were also vastly different in class. At the moment, he was inspecting the small pond that was filled with various plant life, including a beautiful Pacifican water tupelo. The trunk of the tree was much larger than the rest of it, almost looking swollen; the flower buds spread amongst its limbs were in pairs, denoting it was a female variety, and the…

Mission: Echoes in the Triangle
Posted on Sat Oct 24th, 2026 @ 2:43pm by Cadet Senior Year Elena Alberti & Sia Ishanni
Comprised of twenty-two decks, exploring the length and breadth of the Arcadia had become something of a quest. Restricted areas excluded, of course. For now that she had met Lieutenant White and also reported into the medical department, Cadet Alberti knew she would have to learn everything she could about the Constitution Class vessel. Starting with the basics.
Fortunately, she had time and little desire to spend it staring at the ceiling while lying in her bunk.
Starting on Deck two, she had methodically made a complete loop of the deck before moving on. Building a three dimensional map of…

Lanna had left hers and Jarin’s quarters feeling better than she had now her stomach had finally settled. Taking her usual morning walk to the arboretum she tried to ignore the emotions that were starting to pour through her mental barriers, this area of space was starting to be a problem.
She took a seat on the grass by the stream, trying to focus but she was struggling to say the least. “Focus Lanna” she muttered to herself. “Focus…” she sighed. “Stop…please stop!”
Del, who'd been waking and thinking saw the counselor. he saw the obvious distress and quickened his…

ON:
True to his word, Delix arrived at the Science Chief's office with the plans in hand just before the end of the next day. "Lieutenant Sornax, I have your sketches."
Sornax was knee-deep in reports about the Arcadia's next destination and found himself trying to separate fact from fear. Apparently, the ship was en route to a location in space right near the Delta Triangle, as well as near the borders of the Gorn Hegemony. No matter what you thought about the Delta Triangle, being close to those two things was indeed bad luck.

Mission: Echoes in the Triangle
Posted on Sat Oct 17th, 2026 @ 4:13pm by Lieutenant Lanna Alexander & Lieutenant JG Jarin Alexander, MD
Mornings had become the bain of Lanna’s life, the worst time of the day for her morning sickness just as the name suggested. She couldn’t wait for the next couple of weeks to pass so she could get past the first trimester and start enjoying her pregnancy instead. She walked out of the bathroom looking pale and washed out, none of the usual suggestions seemed to be working for her.
“Ohhh just let me curl up and hide for the next couple of weeks!” She offered Jarin the best smile she could muster. “I hate mornings right now!”
"I'm very…

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…
