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.

Thomas walked towards Engineering, onboard the Columbia, he wasn't needed there much considering, the Armoury was his home. However considering his dual role, this would be a place he would have to get to know. Walking into the engineering room, it was a lot bigger than he expected and looked around, trying to find the Lt Commander in charge.

'Commander, you lost?' a curly haired Petty Officer called down from the warp engine gantry, stripped to his undershirt and covered in a sheen of sweat, it was clear he had been working in a hot, cramped space for a while.…

::ON::

Plaatjes strode his way through the ship, happy to be out and about. The Engineering crew had been stuck in the maintenance tubes, pouring over maintenance reports and power flow charts, making the ship fit for her voyage out into the stars. For Plaatjes, a tall man that had meant a lot of crouching, crawling and squatting as they worked their way from stem to stern. Walking tall was a welcome change from that.

Smiling at the crewmembers that crossed his path, it was clear he was friendly and approachable and enjoyed interacting with those that came across his…

Thomas walked down the corridor, having seen the assistant, and the captain, his next stop was medical, then the engineering. He was still getting used to being XO, his second day at it, it would take some used to of course. Walking into he looked around. "Major T'ria are you around?"

Around? What an odd word choice. She looked up from her desk that she had been working at for the last 3.7 hours attempting to better organize the department inventories when the voice intruded on her task. Pushing away from her desk, T'Ria strode out into the main area…

Mission: Trillius Prime
Posted on Sat Mar 15th, 2025 @ 6:37pm by Captain Andre Hunt & Warrant Officer Emily Douglasdale & Commander Thomas Carey & Lieutenant Commander Mattys Plaatjes & Warrant Officer Steve Baxter

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.
