Welcome onboard the USS Wayfarer!

WAYFARERPATCH.pngIt's 2376, one year after the Dominion War. Now Starfleet can get back to what it was originally formed to do Exploration.

With the loss of many ships and officers in one of the bloodiest wars that the United Federation of Planets had ever seen, many younger officers find themselves advancing through the ranks quicker than expected. One such officer, Akeno Misaki didn't expect to be taking on the rank of Captain at her age. The rookie Captain, now in command of the USS Wayfarer is looking forward to finally getting back to exploring the depths of space.

Step off the transporter pad, or walk down the ramp of your shuttle and you prepare to engage on a unique Star Trek RPG experience, one filled with advanture, mystery and even we don't know whats around the next nebula! These are the voyager of the Starship Wayfarer!

The USS Wayfarer is a PG-13 Star Trek Simulation. This means you have to be over the age of 13 to join this roleplaying game.

So, today is the 22nd Anniversary of Independence Fleet, our little home away from home!

This year we as CO's were asked to produce a 'Movie Poster' for a little bit of a fun contest. I decided to make a poster for our current mission 'Cracks in the Mirror' and I enjoyed making it!

Well, it seems as if we won 1st place! Another win for the Wayfarer!

Here's the poster and the comments the judges made:



“I’m impressed by the technical skill and originality that went into this poster.”

“If you’re familiar with Anime movie posters, this is spot…

The Wayfarer dropped out of warp on the edge of the triangle. The Lolrunians's star system was just inside, on the Federations side. Starfleet was counting on them to complete these talks and establish the mining rights to their dilithium.

Akeno crosser one leg over the other as she smiled at the space ahead of them. "Go ahead Luna, take us in. But let's keep our eyes and ears open. This is a contested part of space remember."

"Aye, Captain. [Here goes, well, everything]" Luna thought the last sentence, as her hands danced across the holokeys.

Patra sat back, took a sip of her Kirschwasser, then sighed as she reviewed her orders back to the USS Wayfarer she thought. She looked them over again then at Rear Admiral Elton “You think it wise for me to return to the Wayfarer?” she asked.

“You have an issue with the orders?” Rear Admiral Elton inquired.

Patra sat back a moment and thought about it. “No, she is a good ship, captained by a good captain. Issue will be my mysterious disappearance from Tyra, as I recall Starfleet put me down as missing in action, presumed dead, from said…

The sickbay was busy as usual. Luckily, almost all biobeds were not occupied, only one had a patient in it. An engineering officer that suffered from bruises and burns due to a plasma feedback while he was rerouting an EPS subroutine of the ship.

Given initial medication, he was now under strict observation from the sickbay's personnel while he was approaching full recovery.

Mark was busy at his desk reviewing the crew's medical files and waiting for the scheduled officers' follow-up medical visits.

Well cut military style hair and unshaved face, his medical goon with initials embodied covered his duty…

The senior staff meeting wrapped up quickly, and Mark wasted no time making his way through the Wayfarer’s corridors toward his domain—Sickbay.

Upon arrival, he found his medical team already assembled, punctual as always for their scheduled briefing. The biobeds were finally all cleared, and no patients were currently under treatment—something he considered a small but significant victory.

“All accounted for,” said Molly, the senior nurse who had been his right hand through countless tasks.

“Thank you,” he replied with a warm smile before hopping onto one of the biobeds and addressing the team.

“I’ll keep this short so that…

"When were you going to tell me that you were leaving?" The annoyed voice of Ensign Carter filled the room. The human watched her Betazoid friend buzz about her quarters gathering her things and neatly placing them in a duffle bag that looked like it was at least a few centuries old.

Counselor Drake watched as Patra as she stared out the observation window, looking down at Earth. "Have you been back down to see your family since your grandfather brought you here?" inquired Drake. Patra frowned, knowing counselor Drake couldn't see her. Drake waited a minute, with no response coming, she made a simple statement "You know you are free to come and go as you please from the station to Earth."
Patra snorted, still looking out the viewport, "Have you forgotten Commander I am unable to use transporters, and getting a shuttle to Earth and back can be a hassle,…

Patra’s family, once they had recovered from the shock of finding out Patra was alive, rejoiced. There were many questions, that Patra tried, and mostly succeeded, deflecting. She told her family she could not discuss things do to operational security. She also, even though she knew it was not true, said that Starfleet Mortuary Affairs must have made a mistake, after all Starfleet was still working on trying to identify all the personnel who had been lost in the fleet battles of the Dominion War. Her family finally settled down and they all went out to celebrate her return. She…

Patra sat int the shuttle craft taking her to Earth. She had just been recently discharged from the small commune of T’Shen. The Vulcan healers had been requested to “put” her back together. Her mind and body had been shattered when she took an experimental shuttle craft and fled from the Tyra system. She had secret orders to recover two items for Starfleet Special Projects and Operations; which she was loosely associated with. The first was the to a hologram Kagen that had been implanted unto the USS Atlantic. Once she accomplished that she was to take the program, in…

"Following an attempted mutiny orchestrated by the Jem'Hadar Second, Galag'Rin, Captain Misaki remains in sickbay in critical condition.

Having been confined to the medical bay of Starbase 12, Patra figured she had best write a message to Opa and Schwesterlein to let them know she was fine. They were both on her notification list should she become injured or deceased in the line of duty.

Dear Opa and Gertrude,

I hope this finds you both doing well. I want to first assure you that I am fine. Yes, I was injured, rather seriously, in a conflict. I am unsure if it is classified at this time so I will not discuss the conflict. I suffered both nerve damage…
