Welcome to Project Longshot!
The era of retreat is over.
For forty years, the shadow of the 250th Frontier Day has stifled the Federation’s reach, turning its gaze inward. The galaxy had traded the horizon for safety, sacrificing the mandate of exploration at the altar of survival. But the U.S.S. Enterprise — the storied Federation flagship - stands as proof that the spirit of discovery can never be extinguished.
Starfleet Command has finally recognized that a Federation which refuses to explore has died. With the Bajoran Wormhole secured once more, the Enterprise is mobilized as the spearhead of Project Longshot on a mission to pierce the veil of the Gamma Quadrant and reclaim the Great Beyond.
Her mission was not one of conquest, but of peace to a fraught frontier echoing with the ghosts of the Dominion War. Tasked with mapping the unknown and extending diplomacy to worlds long forgotten, the Enterprise serves as the bridge between a weary past and a future defined by the courage to seek what lay beyond the dark.
The final frontier awaits those brave enough to face it...

» Remembering Sir Patrick Stewart (1940–2026)
Posted on Thu Oct 29th, 2026 @ 11:22pm by Commodore Wilkan Targaryen in General News
It is with profound sadness that we mark the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart, the extraordinary actor who brought Captain Jean-Luc Picard to life, at the age of 86.
For generations of Star Trek fans, Patrick Stewart was more than the man who commanded the bridge of the USS Enterprise-D. Through his portrayal of Picard, he gave us a vision of leadership founded on compassion, integrity, curiosity and an unwavering belief in the potential of humanity.
When Star Trek: The Next Generation first aired in 1987, Stewart brought something remarkable to the Captain’s chair. His Picard was not simply an explorer or a commanding officer. He was a diplomat, a scholar and a man who understood that the greatest strength of Starfleet lay not in its weapons, but in its principles.
Across seven seasons, four feature films and his eventual return in Star Trek: Picard, he helped define what Star Trek could be for a new generation.
Beyond the franchise, Sir Patrick enjoyed an extraordinary career spanning more than six decades, from the Shakespearean stage to his celebrated portrayal of Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men films.
For those of us who have spent countless hours creating our own characters, commanding our own starships and telling stories in the universe he helped shape, his influence is immeasurable.
At the 16th Fleet, we owe a particular debt to Sir Patrick Stewart. The world he helped bring to life continues to inspire the stories we write, the communities we build and the friendships we forge.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends, colleagues and the millions of fans around the world who grew up looking to Captain Picard as an example of what humanity might one day become.
Thank you, Sir Patrick, for reminding us that the future is something worth striving for.
Live Long and Prosper.
» Remembering Walter Koenig (1936–2026)
Posted on Tue Oct 27th, 2026 @ 1:51am by Commodore Wilkan Targaryen in General News
It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Walter Koenig, best known to generations of Star Trek fans as Pavel Chekov, at the age of 90.
Joining Star Trek: The Original Series in its second season in 1967, Walter brought humor, warmth and youthful enthusiasm to the bridge of the USS Enterprise. He would go on to reprise the role across the original cast's six feature films, becoming an enduring part of Star Trek history.
Beyond Star Trek, Walter enjoyed a distinguished career as an actor, writer and performer, including his memorable portrayal of Alfred Bester in Babylon 5.
For nearly six decades, Chekov has been part of a universe that has inspired generations to imagine a better future. At a time when the Cold War divided the world, the presence of a Russian officer serving alongside an international crew was itself a powerful expression of Gene Roddenberry's vision of humanity's future.
As a community built around our shared love of Star Trek, we recognize the enormous contribution Walter made to the franchise and the wider science fiction community.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends, former colleagues and the countless fans whose lives he touched.
Rest in peace, Walter. Thank you for helping us boldly go.
Live Long and Prosper.

Over the last 25 years, we’ve navigated high-stakes missions, complex political landscapes, deep-space anomalies, and personal character journeys that have defined the heart of our game.
To mark this major milestone, I want to thank every writer, officer, and player who has contributed to our collective story. A quarter-century of storytelling is no small feat, and it is a testament to the strength and spirit of this community.

In the Gamma Quadrant, justice is traded like currency—and murder carries the highest price tag.
After a grueling deployment in deep space, the weary crew of the Enterprise arrives at the bustling world of Karemma for a well-deserved shore leave. Eager to swap starship corridors for the vibrant trade plazas and rich culture of Kecemen, relaxation is finally within their grasp.
But peace is a rare commodity.
The crew's leave is shattered by a clandestine plea from a whistleblower aboard the U.S.S. John Kelly, an armored diplomatic envoy docked overhead. An Andorian Starfleet attaché—Lieutenant Commander Tharl ch'Rhirhr—has been secretly arrested for the brutal murder of a prominent Dosi merchant patriarch. Desperate to protect a fragile new trade treaty, the John Kelly’s hyper-calculating Zakdorn captain has locked down the investigation, intent on letting Tharl take the fall to keep the peace.
Bound by Starfleet principles and facing a ticking clock, the crew of the Enterprise is thrust into The Grand Arbitration—a high-stakes Karemma judicial negotiation where claims, counter-charges, and evidence are traded like commodities. To save Tharl from lifetime penal servitude, they must out-haggle aggressive prosecution magnates, dodge black-market informants, and bypass a master strategist's cover-up.
Yet as the crew digs beneath the surface of the trade empire, they uncover a web of deception that threatens to shatter the peace—and test the ultimate cost of Federation justice.
- This storyline is actually planned to take place over MULTIPLE in character days.
- Characters should get off of the ship to have some fun away from the Enterprise.
- I'd like you to each try to pair off with (at least) one other player and write a joint post together about your vacation.
-- As you start your 'group posts' please include the Gamma Quadrant NPC in the post.
- If you have any questions, PLEASE ASK!

The danger isn't on the surface. It’s underneath.
What began as a routine mission to survey intense seismic activity on the planet Iocarro rapidly spirals into a nightmare. Without warning, a massive, cataclysmic earthquake rips across the plains, tearing the landscape apart and swallowing the Enterprise Away Team whole.
Cut off from the ship and buried deep beneath kilometers of rock, the missing crew members are presumed dead by the orbiters above. But the nightmare is only beginning.
Deep within the planet's crust, the battered survivors discover a shocking secret: a sprawling, highly industrialized subterranean civilization. Isolated from the cosmos, this subterranean society is relentlessly mining the planet’s core—unwittingly triggering the very tremors that threaten to collapse their underground world and crush everyone within it.
As the Enterprise launches a desperate race against time to punch through the interference and locate their people, the stranded Away Team must navigate a completely alien society. To survive, they have to convince a stubborn civilization to halt their entire way of life—before the next big tremor buries the truth, and the crew, forever.
