IN THE 23RD CENTURY.....
Klingon raiders, Orion pirates and Gorn hunters have been problems along the Neutral Zone and the Federation's Rim for decades, but a fragile political balance has held fast since the 2260's. The Federation maintains peace and authority on its side of the Neutral Zone with a chain of deep space stations.
Deep Space Station Lambda-2 is one such outpost. It lies precariously close to Klingon space between Donatu and Arcanis Sectors. The Starship Proxima is part of Starfleet's first line of defense there. Recently refitted, the Proxima boasts the most advanced layout of the venerable Constitution-class starships to date.
Genesis
Project Genesis and its fallout has dramatically altered- by some reckoning, destroyed- any semblance of the status quo. The Klingons are sure its a weapon. Various criminal syndicates want to steal the technology. Some Federation worlds are uncomfortable with the idea.
Klingon raiders- often from Houses D'Ghor, Kor and Duras- have begun brazenly violating the Neutral Zone to harass shipping and test Federation mettle. There is even concern that Romulan agents could be attempting to pit the Klingons and Federation against one another. The Hegemony remains enigmatic to their neighbors and care little about this "world-making," but sense an opportunity to restock the larders of their hunting ships and hatchery worlds.

First Officer's Log, supplemental. Having reached Spacelab Regula One we have determined the facility has suffered attack by as yet undetermined forces. Current conjecture is that whoever attacked the lab were likely looking for information on the Genesis Project. The Captain has ordered an Away Team to board Regula One to uncover the fate of the security forces enforcing interdiction and quarantine, and determine the identity of the attacking forces. A notable complication: the destruction of the Genesis planetary system has imperiled matter-energy transport. We are therefore attempting to dock aboard the shuttlecraft Tereshkova.

Tyler's fingers danced across the navigation console as another subspace shockwave rippled through the Mutara sector, the readings on his display shifting like sand in a desert storm. The gravitometric distortions were playing havoc with their sensors, turning what should have been a straightforward course plot into a constantly evolving puzzle. "Course correction, two-point-seven degrees starboard," he called out to Eve at the helm, his voice steady despite the frustration building in his chest. These shockwaves were hitting every few minutes now, each one requiring minute adjustments to…

Jet sat at workstation that was in a small alcove next to the main status board for the ship. He was going over the night shift's operational reports and compiling a list for their next maintenance cycle. The post shakedown punchlist had been completed, and now was just the fine tuning for all the new systems. Plus there was a laundry list of requests from around the ship for maintenance items that needed to be taken care of. They ranged in scope from environmental controls not synching up to Science lab 3's computer system being stuck in compiling mode. One…

Mission: Prelude: The Gathering
Posted on Mon Nov 10th, 2025 @ 8:19pm by Lieutenant Alexander Beckett
Deep Space Station Lambda-2 was alive with motion — the kind of organized chaos that always accompanied a ship taking on crew. Cargo drones drifted overhead, hissing through clouds of vapor. The air smelled faintly of coolant, coffee, and fresh paint.
Lieutenant Alexander Beckett walked the docking concourse at an easy pace, duffel over his shoulder, eyes everywhere. He didn’t look like he was inspecting anything, but he was. It was a habit — and an old one.
Ahead, the airlock to USS Proxima gleamed with a fresh coat of Starfleet gray, her registry stenciled neatly above it. Beside the…

Jet took a sip from his coffee mug before returning it to it's saucer before rubbing his eyes. Splayed out in front of him were numerous schematics and PADDs as he poured through each one. One of the many duties of a newly commissioned starship's chief engineer was to verify that the ship's construction drawings matched with what the yard worker's actually installed. While Proxima wasn't the first in her class, she was the most modern. There had been several systems that had been upgraded, but mating them with an older ship design always presented some challenges. One of the…

Commander's Log... Stardate 8233.4.
Shuttlecraft Toliman is en route to Deep Space Station Lambda-2 near the Klingon planet Krios Prime. I have left Federation space and am traveling along non-aligned shipping lanes- the Ardana-Valt Trade Corridor. Ardanan authorities sent Starfleet a code yellow notice of Klingon raiding activities in the area over the last month. I am monitoring an Orion hauling craft on a parallel course bearing 251 mark 011.
I have been reassigned from the U.S.S. Ibn Battuta to the U.S.S. Proxima as First Officer and Chief Navigator. My databanks confirms The Proxima is one of the remaining Constitution-class…
