Welcome to the USS Meridian!
It is the year 2167, still in the early years of the newly formed United Federation of Planets. The founding members United Earth, Vulcan, Andor, Tellar and Alpha Centauri lead the way for the new members: Mars, Alpha III, Vega IX, United Rigel Worlds and Colonies, Arken II and Orodanga who are finding their place and standing in the Federation. The USS Meridian a Columbia class starship leads the way in exploration as Starfleet pushes out further among the stars to find new worlds and hopefully expand.
But all is not completely peaceful. The Klingon Empire has concerns of the Federation which they have already determined to be a major force and threat which continues to get stronger with each new world joining. There are also the threats of piracy as civilian ships continue to push out further for trade and science expeditions.
Come join the crew of the Meridian as we explore, practice diplomacy, take on old and new threats to the United Federation of Planets, including threats from within.

The USS Meridian had spent the last couple of weeks traveling at a direct course to Trillus Prime. Captain Hunt had to admit that the last few weeks had been uneventful for the most part. The crew had gotten into a routine and was meshing well together. Which was something all commanding officers had hoped for sooner than later. But he enjoyed spending time with the Trill scientist and was learning quite a bit about their culture. In the next few minutes, the Meridian would be entering their system and then the leg of their journey would be begun.

Thomas had just gotten his bags into his quarters... being the XO gave him not only quarters, but a small, yet usable office next to it to call his own. there as always the Armory office that he could use, and probably would use more often. However, with wanting a bit of a downtime social setting he opted for the one closer to home. Going through the files, he noticed his first victim... person of interest.
"Lt Sh'Joven please report to... the office next to the XO's quarters." Thomas replied as he thought about what to call this office.

OOC: Backpost takes place before Launch.
Heath Stoudemire in front of the shuttle staff as he gave explicit instructions for the day. "Alright folks we've done one hell of hob getting these shuttles looking good and running smoothly. Today we take them out for a test run around the starbase."
The staff was clearly excited about the possibility of actually getting to fly. Over the last few weeks they worked hard getting these shuttles in a condition that was damn near brand new.
"Speaking for the group we definitely have been looking forward to this day Chief," Costillo spoke. "Also…

The doors to the turbolift opened as Captain Hunt entered onto the bridge. Today was the official launch day of the USS Meridian. The bridge was busy as final preparations were being made for their departure. Briefly circling the bridge, Andre arrived at the center chair and had a seat. It had been a while since he sat there being that the ship was undergoing a full work up and restocking over the last few months. Tapping the comm button on his seat. "Captain Hunt to all department heads, report status."
Sitting at the helm station was Emily Douglasdale. Tapping…

The USS Meridian was a week away from departing on their two-year assignment. Still a few senior staff members short, but hopefully most of that would be addressed prior to them leaving. It had been a tough decision regarding the candidates for Executive Officer, but one in particular stood out above the others. Lt. Commander Thomas Carey a career armory officer and had spent the last two years as the second officer aboard the USS Challenger. After speaking with his CO, he was fairly certain that this man was more than ready to pursue the command route further. He immediately…
