Welcome to the USS Horizon!
The Final Frontier. Quite possibly one of the most dangerous places in the universe. Spatial anomalies, wormholes, temporal nonsense, and political conflicts all make it one of these dangerous places.
But with risk comes reward. Exploration of deep space, strange new worlds, and new life is one of the biggest rewards for many. Not to mention, it was one of Starfleet’s main directives. At least it used to be. The past two and a half decades have been filled with strife and loss and Starfleet has lost focus on exploration more and more. Even with projects like Project Full Circle and a few other directives to explore other distant places, less ships and crews are being tasked with exploration.
However with the creation of new classes of explorers in the late 2380s and early 2390s, and more ships being assigned exploration duties, Starfleet has begun to turn back to the organization’s roots, slowly, but surely. The Horizon is one of those ships with a primary focus in exploring deep space and uncharted space. With her abilities, speed, and unique crew, the Horizon can take on the galaxy -no- the universe.
The USS Horizon is a Century Class Explorer operating in the year 2397 in Theta Fleet's Area 51 Task Force.

Hello!
My name is Kate, I play the Charater Commander Nith, your new Executive Officer on the Horizon! Unlike my Vulcan character, I am NOT Vulcan and I'm a very happy, fun-loving, emotional (in a good way) and (I hope) entertaining person!
I'm also the freshly apponted GM on the ship and I'll be doing my best to give us all something to write about and explore as the person that Chris brought on-board to help spice things up and give us all a reason for being here.
Naturally, you all want an active sim!

Mission: Frozen Acquisition
Posted on Sat Oct 31st, 2026 @ 9:26pm by Commander Nith & Captain James Phoenix
Nith exited Quark’s, the weight of the data rods a cool, dense presence in her satchel. She moved with Vulcan economy, her tall, slender form cutting a stark silhouette against the promenade’s chaotic glow. Her short, spiked black hair was unmoved by the station’s recycled air; her pale features remained impassive. The holosuite programs were a trivial acquisition, their conversion to isolinear chips a logical next step.
The airlock was now open, its status indicator a steady green. The Chief was, predictably, absent and likely off-duty. She located the secured maintenance panel he had indicated. With a soft hiss, it…

Posted on Fri Oct 30th, 2026 @ 3:39pm by Commander Nith & Ensign Keith Vail & EMH Mark IX - "Nina"
Keith dumped his duffel in his quarters and hobbled to sickbay, each step a little love letter from Sovok’s boot to his ribs. Part of the welcome package was a mandatory medical once-over. The place was emptier than a Klingon’s sense of humor. Not a nurse, not an orderly, not even one of those guys who just pushes the mop and looks judgmental.
He sighed. Of course. That meant dealing with the Emergency Medical Hologram. The last time he’d seen one of those he was nine, and the program had been a balding know-it-all with the charm of a constipated…

Keith stood slowly, his hands raised in a gesture of placation. "Sovak, listen to me. You do not have to do this. Whatever debt Tolen owed you, whatever mistakes you made, we can fix this. I can help you."
"You cannot help me. No one can." Sovak moved with sudden, terrifying speed, the metal rod whistling through the air toward Keith's head.
Keith ducked, the rod passing close enough to ruffle his blond hair, and rolled backward over the bar, landing in a crouch on the other side. His heart was hammering against his ribs, but his mind was clear,…

He found Donlow waiting in the corridor outside the security office, his expression grim.
"Korem is in Interview Room One. He is angry, he is suspicious, and he is demanding to speak to his uncle on Bajor. A VEDIC…"
"He just might need a priest" Keith handed Donlow the PaDD with a light chuckle. "T'Lira's statement. Corroborated by the thermal logs, the timing, and the fact that we found the earring in a location Korem had access to. It is not enough for a court-martial, but it is enough for a search of his quarters."
"You want me to authorize…

They returned to Security Office Three with the earring secured in an evidence container.
Donlow examined it with the careful attention of a man who had seen too many stolen things pass through his hands.
"Well done, Vail. Mora Tolen will be relieved. But the earring is only half the job. I still need the thief."
"I know." Keith sat down across from Donlow's desk, his posture relaxed but his eyes sharp. "I want to talk to Sovak. Alone, if possible."
"Absolutely not. He is a suspect in an active investigation. I cannot let a twenty-year-old ensign interrogate him without…

» Final Log as XO USS Soval
Posted on Tue Oct 27th, 2026 @ 8:14am by Commander Nith
My service aboard the *Soval* under Captain T'Varis represented a period of considerable professional growth. Over four years, I refined the ship's duty rotation to increase crew efficiency by twelve percent, developed emergency response protocols that reduced evacuation time by nearly one-third, and successfully mediated a dispute between the engineering and tactical departments that had persisted for six months prior to my arrival. I believe I earned the respect of the crew-not through emotional display, which would have been illogical, but through consistent performance and equitable treatment of all personnel regardless of species or rank. Captain T'Varis once noted that…

"And how are you doing Commander?"
Commander. That sounded...strange, still. Stranger still was the fact that Counselor Slinke was calling her, "I am fine, Sir."
Slinke smiled on the screen, "Are you? Are you really, Commander? You left home early."
"Yes. Well...Mother started bringing over eligible bachelors. And you know how things are between me and my sister."
Slinke nodded sympathetically, "Of course. Yes. And you are currently on a runabout heading for Deep Space Nine."
"Yes."
"A day early."
"Looking to get right to work, Sir."
"Now, Commander. You remember what I said about that ten days leave."

"Computer open channel."
Second Officer's Log supplemental.
It's been a while since I've been on the Horizon board. However, I'm back on my main duties. However, not knowing where the captain is, I will be assuming command of the Horizon. We still have no First Officer on board and with that being said, I'm the next person in line.

Computer, begin log.
I have just recently been picked up by the Andorian vessel, the IGS Stras, as a means of transport to rendezvous with my new station on the USS Horizon. It has been a long and complicated journey from my time as Executive Officer on the USS Tennessee to now. There was once a time where I was confident in command, assured of my own self-worth, and felt value unto myself. The death of my family changed all that.
Starfleet has been most kind to me, allowing me time - years actually - to recover from my trauma.…

Commander's Personal Log supplemental.
When we just got started with our first thing of all time. The training cruise. Before we left drydock or Spacedock, our original Executive Officer left the ship without us realizing that they left. I wonder what the captain is going to do with me. I'm thinking that he'll give me the Executive Officer spot since I'm next in line. But I'm completely uncertain. While I feel uncertain, the Horizon is currently going on it's first training cruise. A shakedown training cruise. Although, we might not have the numbers for crew, we will still be able…
