We started out in February 2026 with a crew of three. Quertie commanded while covering medical. Violet is our security chief, and she covered in science. Kanashio is our engineer, but he covered in operations. We made it work. These days we are five to six, and are looking for a Star Trek scientist to join our ranks. Maybe that's you?
In early July 2026, we completed our first expedition after five months of writing, and uncovered star maps reaching 7300 light-years into the unknown galaxy. A quest for technology faster than warp speed. As GM, the idea of star maps only came to me as I was writing the final draft of the alien's message. It so opens up the possibilities for where we're going.

We do Semi ParaRP. What does that mean? We post each part of the story one person at a time in a round robin, five times in a two-hour session. We want the story to be going somewhere. Mission briefs are based on what we write; I don't pre-write any mission briefs. Briefs are released three days before our roleplay sessions.

          Every Thursday at 5pm (SLT) for 2 1/2 hours!

Expedition: Recovery

Expeditions comprise a set of arcs, which comprise a set of missions, and each mission has a set of weekly parts. Together our crew wrote 335K of raw text over 21 weeks, and produced this story. We're still writing it, so consider this a work in progress.

Note: This video is 23 minutes and audio only. If you listen to our opener above, it's really interesting where we got to. 
This was an AI Analysis, and it got some things wrong ... AI always gets some things wrong ... rolls eyes:
  • It said the surface was 1000s of years old, but in our story, the surface civilization was destroyed 100-ish years ago. 
  • There were 1000s of drones in orbit, we managed to peel off a subset of them.
  • It also said that the creatures on the surface were pre-warp when in fact they had warp 5-6 level craft.
  • We didn't use the Quantum Slipstream Drive. We're actually still near Bolteen III.

Wanna take a ride?

We're looking for a Star Trek scientist. In August 2026, we'll be embarking on a 7300 light-year adventure that will take a year or more of writing to complete. We found these star maps, but need to collect supplies and do a bit of science before we can embark on our expedition.
