Hello Everyone,

It's with a heavy heart that I report that Lieutenant Commander Sotra has chosen to step down as Executive Officer of the Saratoga and is taking a well-deserved break from online roleplaying for a while. Saratoga and 16th Fleet are a family and there will always be a place for Sotra and her player within our game and fleet.

I am pleased to report that Nixon and I have spoken at length and he'll be taking over as Executive Officer during our next mission: Audacious. I am also excited to announce that we have a pending Chief Engineer who will be joining us in about 4 weeks once he's out of school.

Things are looking up for the Saratoga and I'm excited to have each of you as part of our adventure!

Following the destruction of the Starship Discovery, Starfleet Command needed a tactical edge over the Klingon Empire. Partnering with Bendes Kettaract, the Theoretical Propulsion Group began work on a revolutionary new engine capable of propelling a starship at incredible speeds. They failed and their prototype - the Starship Audacious - ripped open the fabric of subspace, making an entire sector of space impassable.

Two days ago, Starfleet Command detected the prototype for the first time in over a century adrift in the Maelstrom, in territory claimed by the Romulan Free State! Now it's up to the crew of the Saratoga to recover the Audacious before it's too late.

Following the disastrous events of Frontier Day, the Federation has relaunched the Starship Saratoga to serve as the flagship of the Maelstrom Sector.

While returning home, the crew has been diverted to investigate a distress call from a world on the outskirts of the Maelstrom. Little is known about the nature of the emergency except that scans show that that region is flooded with unique radiation signatures unlike those previously encountered within the zone. Can the crew solve this mystery before it's too late?

New mission begins January 1, 2024!

The heavy atmospheric seal of the Sickbay ward hissed, a sharp, clinical exhale that signaled the end of the siege. Captain Zseeq stood at the threshold, his posture a study in calculated grace, hands clasped firmly behind the small of his back. He did not step forward to offer a…

A very unhappy and exhausted looking Sethan approached the Trill chief medical officer. "I'm sorry doctor, but right now the only means we have to ascertain that you're you, that your actual soul is in that artificial body, is a mind meld." He glanced back over his shoulder, then back…

Sethan has worked all night, pushing his exhaustion aside to get the captain the results he had ordered. The tests were invasive, but not as invasive as the mind melds had been. The young Vulcan shook his head as he downloaded the results of the tests onto a PADD, hoping…

Sethan preceded the captain into sickbay's main area and beelined for the quarantined away team. He paused before then, glancing back at the captain before settling his attention on the team before him. "There's a way to confirm that you are really you," he started slowly, visibly ill at ease.…

The Bridge of the Saratoga felt strangely cavernous without the steady presence of Captain Zseeq and the rest of the ship's senior staff. In their place stood the "next in line" though, a collection of junior officers and specialists holding the line while the veterans were either quarantined or undergoing…

Mel wandered back to her new quarters after her shift in sickbay. "Hot chocolate," she told the replicator. "Charlie you home?" she called out as the replicator created her drink.

Getting no response from her youngest she picked up the cup and took a sip. "Mmmmmm," she muttered. "Maybe a…
