Welcome to Project Longshot!


Federation LogoFour decades have passed since the 250th Frontier Day nearly extinguished the light of the Federation. While the Core Worlds have retreated into a fragile, gilded peace, the echoes of that devastation still ring across the Frontier. Out on the edge of known space, survival is not a given; it is a daily struggle waged in the shadow of a Starfleet spread too thin to protect every world and too weary to look toward the horizon. For a generation, the Federation's founding mandate—the pure, driven hunger for exploration—has been sacrificed at the altar of necessity.

The era of retreat is over.

In the wake of the brutal Battle of the Foundry, Starfleet Command has issued a new directive to reclaim its lost soul. Project Longshot has been commissioned with a singular, defiant purpose: to reignite the exploratory heart of the fleet by returning to the Great Beyond.

The Bajoran Wormhole stands open once more, and a new generation of explorers is stepping forward to bridge the gap between survival and discovery. Our mission leads us back into the vast, mysterious reaches of the Gamma Quadrant—a frontier once synonymous with war, now waiting to be rediscovered by those brave enough to seek a different future.

It is time to move beyond the scars of the past and finally return to the mission that defined us. These are the stories of the pioneers who refuse to let the dream die.

Guile
The Enterprise has been recalled to Deep Space 9 for an emergency summit between the Federation and the Klingon Empire over the future of the Gamma Quadrant. Enraged that they have been denied access to the region, the Klingons demand permission to deploy a garrison to the region otherwise they will withdraw from the Khitomer Accords. While the senior offers contend with this catastrophe, the lower deckers must unravel the truth of a Bajoran merchant who claims the Prophets gave her the ability to see a person's future, but for a price.

» Next Mission: Gaia

Posted on Fri Jun 13th, 2025 @ 11:33pm by Commodore Wilkan Targaryen in General News

In the days prior to the Dominion War the crew of the Starship Defiant encountered the unthinkable: a mysterious world populated by their own descendants! Known as Gaia, the planet was colonized after the Defiant accidently traveled 200 years in the past and crashed into the surface due to an anomaly surrounding the planet. Learning about their children's children, the intrepid crew of the Defiant decided to fulfil their destiny and travel back in time to ensure the colony's survival. Heading toward their fate, the Defiant suddenly veered off course and narrowly escaped due to the intervention of Constable Odo. While the Constable's actions saved the love of his life, he chose to eradicate an entire world to do it.

Decades later, Starfleet has returned to the Gamma Quadrant and on the forefront of exploration is the Starship Enterprise. Temporarily transferred to the Federation's Department of Temporal Investigations, the Enterprise's crew have been asked to return to Gaia to learn more about the mysterious phenomenon that threatened the Defiant. One of the only ships that can successfully travel through the barrier, upon arriving the crew are shocked to find the Defiant stuck within the quantum energy barrier. A lifeboat holding the last survivors of a civilization lost to time, the Enterprise crew must decide whether saving the survivors is worth the risk that it will cause to the timeline.

Posted on Sat Apr 19th, 2025 @ 2:44am by Commodore Wilkan Targaryen in General News

After their disastrous contact with Tosk and the Hunters, the Enterprise crew is looking forward to resuming their exploration of the Gamma Quadrant.

The Enterprise crew have chosen to travel to the planet Chelu to reestablish contact with the Cheluan High Council for the first time since the Starship Maryland first visited their world before the Dominion War. A peaceful, tranquil world, the crew are horrified to receive a distress call from the Cheluan's while en route to their planet. With the Cheluan's unable to answer their call and sensor scans ambiguous due to strong interference, the Enterprise crew will have their work cut out for them to solve this mystery.

Mission 2: Tosk

History has been made in the far reaches of the final frontier.

The Dominion, long time enemies of the United Federation of Planets, have proposed an alliance between their two governments after years of separation. As part of their agreement, Starfleet, the peacekeeping and humanitarian armada of the Federation, has been invited to return to the Gamma Quadrant on a mission of discovery. Eager to seek out new worlds and civilizations, Starfleet assigned Project Longshot to this mission of peaceful exploration.

But their mission may be over before it even begins.

While at Starbase 419 for final crew pickup and resupply before traveling to the Gamma Quadrant, the Starship Enterprise has encountered a blast from Starfleet's past: Tosk, an enigmatic alien that has been bred as the perfect prey in an intergalactic hunt. Seeking asylum, the crew of the Enterprise must decide if Tosk's requests for aid are genuine and worth the risk of alienating their new friends, or part of a large scheme designed to end the hunt once and for all.

The digital chronometer on the USS Shenzhou’s main viewscreen bled a harsh, rhythmic red as it hit the five-minute mark.

"Commodore on the Bridge " Galatea announced. Her holographic form shifted, her resolution sharpening into a crisp, ceremonial attention as the port-side doors slid apart. While they were facing a loaded gun, she ensured the ship still observed the weight of protocol.
