Life
Post Count: 42While on patrol in deep space the Saratoga encounters something unexpected: a pod of gormaganders. An endangered species, the crew decide to observe the alien animals as they travel to their breeding grounds in a nearby asteroid field. The trouble is that a Kzinti ship is in the area and the gormaganders are their prime targets.
Short Treks
Post Count: 61Audacious
Post Count: 31Following 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.
Parasite
Post Count: 0A miracle discovered. A secret unearthed. A paradise built on a foundation of theft.
Deep within an uncharted system, the crew of the Saratoga makes a discovery that defies logic: the wreckage of a vessel lost for over half a century. Expecting to find a graveyard, the landing party instead finds survivors who haven't aged a single day since their disappearance. They are in perfect health, vibrant, and - strangest of all- they refuse to be rescued.
The survivors credit their longevity to the planet's lush flora, but beneath the vibrant canopy of the forest, the Saratoga’s sensors pick up spatial anomalies that point to a far more localized source of their youth.
As the crew pushes past the survivors' increasingly violent resistance, they uncover the dark truth: the "miracle cure" is an enzyme harvested from a race of bioluminescent, interdimensional beings. These creatures, playful and highly intelligent, exist slightly outside of normal space-time, and they are being hunted to sustain the survivors' immortality.
Faced with an ethical crossroads, the crew must find a way to communicate before the survivors silence their secret forever. In a galaxy where one man’s cure is another’s cage, the crew of the Saratoga must decide what price is too high for forever.
Cells
Post Count: 0While exploring an uninhabited Class-M planet, the Saratoga's away team are infected with a virus. Passed by touch, as the virus spreads throughout the ship it causes the crew to become desperate to return to an unexplored world deep in the Maelstrom.
Partners
Post Count: 0While on Shore Leave, the crew of the Saratoga meet with a young Ferengi woman who is in a dispute with her father's former business partner. The Ferengi alleges that her father wanted her to inherit his business, but his partner has a signed contract giving everything to him following the father's death. The odd thing is that the contract was signed only one minute before the father's death of natural causes...
Slavers
Post Count: 0While attending the funeral of an Orion Businessman on Biranu Station, the crew of the Saratoga learn that the Orions have been abducting people from a preindustrialized world on the outskirts of the Maelstrom and are selling them to the Kzinti. The crew of the Saratoga must decide whether to intervene - thus violating the Prime Directive - or leave the victims to their fate.
Sovereign
Post Count: 0The Saratoga has been sent to make contact with the enigmatic Kessok, the only spacefaring race native to the Maelstrom Sector. While at a state dinner, the crew are challenged to a contest of wills after inadvertently insulting their guests. With the risk of losing an important ally, the Saratoga crew must find a way to salvage this first contact.
Begin Again
Post Count: 42The Dream
Post Count: 9Rebirth
Post Count: 21Following 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?
