Welcome aboard the USS Missouri!
Vis Ad Libertatem (Strength for Freedom)
Vis Ad Libertatem (Strength for Freedom)
The year is 2400. Across the Federation, people are gathering to ring in not just the new year, but the new century. For those gathering at Camp Khitomer, there are more reasons to celebrate, for in less than a week's time, the shakedown cruise of a brand new Bellerophon class starship is set to commence, marking the return of a legendary name; the USS Missouri, made famous by the third Iowa class battleship of Earth's Second World War, and in more recent years by the adventures of Kagami Izumi.The officer selected to lead this momentous occasion was Commander Patricia Cooke, granddaughter of Major Francine Cooke, who served aboard the Excelsior class USS Missouri during the Dominion War and distant descendant of Seaman 1st Class Harry Francis Cooke, who served aboard the legendary Iowa class battleship in World War II. Now, over 450 years later, Patricia is the third Cooke to serve aboard a Missouri and the first Cooke to command one.
However, just hours into the new year, jubilation turns to terror when I-400, an artificial intelligence developed as a galactic peacekeeping initiative, attacks the New Year's party, declaring there to be only one path to peace: The Federation's extinction.
With I-400 now on the loose, the Missouri's shakedown cruise is expedited, with Cooke given orders to track down and stop I-400. However, it won't be easy, as the galaxy is a large place, and even the Missouri might not be fast enough to stop I-400.
The USS Missouri is a Play-by-Nova Star Trek roleplaying game set in the year 2400. Our mission is to investigate the weird and wacky, from Rogue AI to years-old cold cases. We are currently serving in Theta Fleet under Area 51 and are under the command of Commander Patricia Cooke. Our content rating is "2/2/2" or "18+"

Hey, all you Missourians!
This is your captain, Patricia Cooke, speaking: Here to inform you that we will be changing URLs, leaving behind the last URL carried by our predecessor sim.
Some research by fleet personnel has suggested that for some firewalls, a .net site is harder to reach than a .com site. As such, we will be migrating to a .com domain.
The USS Missouri can now be found at https://missouri.harperhold.com so please make sure you update your bookmarks. https://missouri.sim-station.net will still be available for now, but the migration will be formalized later this year, as the sim-station.net domain…

The Missouri, along with the USS Icarus and USS Apollo, dropped out of the slipstream within the Romulan Neutral Zone. A previously insignificant system deep within the Romulan Neutral Zone was not as such today: For when the three Starfleet ships emerged from the slipstream, they found the Lazzaro system to be a flurry of activity:
"I'm picking up at least three hundred different kinds of energy signatures on the sensors," Akira reported."Romulan, Klingon, Cardassian, and... is that Breen??"
Patricia sat in her chair, awestruck by the sight on the main viewscreen.
"Look at this..." She muttered. "Look at this..."…

Sweat, boot polish and strawberry hydropacks. The familiar scent of Marines running fitness drills filled the air. It was delicious! Boots scuffed against the deck plating, voices called out, muscles flexed. Gunnery Sergeant Roy Erbun stood on a platform above it all, arms crossed, watching.
The veterans moved amongst the fitness circuits like a well-oiled machine, shuttling back and forth, conducting their strength trainings. The replacements? Not so much. Too rigid. Too eager. Too uncoordinated.
Roy exhaled through his nose. His jaw clenched as he watched a new recruit stumble over a skipping rope. That new recruit was part…

Having dumped her bag in her quarters, Gabi had spent a moment alone to recover from the encounter with Harris and Lakret on the starbase. Her heart raced and mind ached as she recalled the interaction. It had rattled her; memories from her misspent early career were dredged up, the feelings, the digs at her professionalism. Walking through the corridors of the Missouri, she felt somewhat at peace with the fact that soon they couldn't get to her, and the mission would keep her mind focused on what was most important.
On to the next job, the physical in…

The Missouri was underway, the department staff had assembled and disassembled. Departments were restructured in accordance with the new Chiefs heading them, with some departments in arms, others glad someone new had taken the reins.
Newly Science Chief Andrew Star walked cheerfully down the steel corridors of Starfleets Bellerophon starship, dawning his uniform with a glass bottle with a screw on cap on, keeping a see through liquid like water from spilling over the mattalic floors on Deck 3. He stopped when he reached his destination, Lt Gabi's quarters. He pressed the ringer on the LCARS door control, while he…

Gabi tapped her foot as she studied a Yeoman, a young Petty Officer, carefully review her transfer orders. It was a careful study from the blue haired non-com across from her who seemed to check every detail, no doubt with painstaking scrutiny. Strong security, but not exactly efficent.
"It looks like everything is in order, ma'am," The Yeoman said, returning the PADD containing her orders. "Permission to come aboard is granted."
"Thank you, Petty Officer," Gabi nodded.
"You're assigned to officer's quarters on Deck 4. Would you like an escort?"
"No, I'll see my way down." Gabi replied. "Thanks…

Chief Counsellors Log Number One, Lieutenant JG Eradaar Ezazzan speaking.
It has been a week since I departed the USS Poseidon and left my mate, Lieutenant Lazarus Kord, behind. Whilst we have kept close contact with one another, I would be greatly remiss in stating anything other than a great sadness at our parting. Lazarus has been my rock and foundation since the very inceptions of our feelings for one another. I understand now a few things about us, about our situation and uniqueness.
Lazarus was an outcast in his own home. His situation I cannot state here openly, but…
