Where Every Mission Matters… and Every Heartbeat Counts
“Your heart may skip a beat… but don’t worry, we’re here to fix that.”
Welcome aboard the USS Ogawa, Star-Fleet’s Nightingale-class Medical Cruiser. Whether responding to deadly epidemics, humanitarian disasters, first-contact medical emergencies, or scientific mysteries, the Ogawa stands ready to answer the call.
Think of us as ER in space with just enough Scrubs mixed in to keep the crew smiling between crises.
As an Alternative Roleplaying Area, our stories focus heavily on medicine, science, exploration, and the people behind the uniforms. Every character has an opportunity to shine, whether you’re saving lives in Sickbay, discovering a new pathogen, maintaining life-support systems, or protecting the crew during dangerous away missions.
🌟 Current Mission: Breathless
A remote archaeological expedition is being devastated by a rapidly spreading respiratory illness. Can the Ogawa uncover the cause before the outbreak claims even more lives?
The clock is ticking. Lives depend on you.

🚀 Now Recruiting: Executive Officer – USS Merrimack (NCC-2346)
Boldly return to where Star Trek began
Have you ever wanted to experience the golden age of Star Trek? Before holodecks. Before replicators. Before Picard. When diplomacy often meant a phaser at your side, Klingon relations were uncertain, and every landing party stepped into the unknown.
The USS Merrimack is looking for a dedicated Executive Officer (XO) to join one of Star-Fleet’s longest-running and most unique roleplaying ships.
Meet the Merri
Commanding Officer: Captain David Fergusson
Posting Speed: Slow (5/7/10)
Open to New Members: No (Second Character Ship)
Set just a few years after Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, the Merrimack captures the spirit of classic Star Trek adventure with a healthy mix of exploration, action, humor, and camaraderie.
This is a relaxed, supportive environment where creativity is encouraged. The Merri has always embraced unique characters—from archaeologists and geologists to transporter chiefs, yeomen, dentists, chefs, and physicists. If it fits the era, there’s probably room for it.
We’re Looking For:
A player interested in serving as the ship’s Executive Officer—someone who enjoys:
• Supporting the Commanding Officer and helping keep the ship running smoothly.
• Encouraging player participation and collaborative storytelling.
• Leading Landing Parties into the unknown.
• Helping create a welcoming, fun environment where everyone can enjoy the adventure.
Previous command experience is helpful but not required. Reliability, creativity, and a willingness to support your fellow players are what matter most.
Life in the 2290s:
Aboard the Merrimack, you’re stepping into the Star Trek many of us grew up watching:
• MAJEL 2.0 is your computer interface.
• No holodecks.
• No replicators.
• Landing Parties instead of Away Missions.
• Female officers wear the iconic duty skirts of the era.
• The Klingon alliance remains fragile.
• The Federation has yet to encounter the Ferengi or Cardassians.
• Exploration is dangerous, diplomacy is often improvised, and every mission could become a classic adventure.
Interested? If you’d like to help lead one of Star-Fleet’s most established and beloved Original Series movie-era ships, contact Captain David Fergusson https://www.star-fleet.com/contact/user/Stargazer/ for details.
The adventure started here. Join the bridge crew… and help write the next chapter aboard the USS Merrimack.

Pursuant to the authority vested in the Office of the President, the following directive is hereby issued and takes effect immediately. Following the vacancy in command of the USS Manhattan, I, in consultation with the Fleet Council Chairman, do hereby appoint Terry Sullivan as the Commanding Officer of the USS Manhattan, effective immediately.
Before addressing this appointment, I wish to extend my sincere appreciation to James Sinclair for his previous service as Commanding Officer of the USS Manhattan. His dedication and efforts on behalf of the ship and her crew are recognized and appreciated, and I thank him for the time and commitment he devoted to the command.
The USS Manhattan has experienced a difficult period in recent months. Like any ship facing challenges, restoring her to full strength will require patience, determination, and strong leadership. There is much work ahead to rebuild activity, strengthen the crew, and return the Manhattan to the standard of excellence expected of a Star-Fleet command.
For these reasons, I have every confidence that Terry Sullivan is the right person to lead this effort. As a former Commanding Officer with extensive experience in leading Star-Fleet vessels, Terry brings a wealth of knowledge, proven leadership, and a steady hand to the center seat. The challenges facing the Manhattan are significant, but I am confident that Terry possesses the experience and dedication necessary to guide the ship through this period of renewal and into a successful future.
On behalf of the Office of the President and the Fleet Council, I congratulate Terry Sullivan on this appointment and look forward to seeing the USS Manhattan flourish under his leadership.
I ask the officers and crew of the USS Manhattan to offer Terry their full support as he assumes command and begins the important work of leading the ship into its next chapter.

Pursuant to the authority vested in the Office of the President, the following directive is hereby issued and takes effect immediately. Following the vacancy in the office of Governor of OED V, I, in consultation with the Fleet Council Chairman, do hereby appoint Ryan Williams as Governor of OED V, effective immediately.
Before recognizing this appointment, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to James Sinclair for his service as Governor of OED V. His time and dedication to the colony are gratefully acknowledged, and I thank him for the effort he devoted to its administration. On behalf of Star-Fleet, I wish him every success in his future endeavors.
OED V has faced its share of challenges in recent months, and there is much work ahead to restore the colony to the thriving role it has long held within Star-Fleet. Revitalizing a colony is never an easy undertaking, but it is one that presents tremendous opportunity for growth and renewed success.

His experience as a Commanding Officer, Gamemaster Director, and mentor has repeatedly shown his ability to build active, engaging roleplaying environments and inspire those who serve alongside him.
The Fleet Council and I have every confidence that, together with the citizens and crew of OED V, Ryan will breathe new life into the colony and lead it into a new era of activity and success. We believe his leadership, coupled with the dedication of the colony’s members, will restore OED V as one of Star-Fleet’s premier roleplaying communities.
On behalf of the Office of the President and the Fleet Council, I congratulate Ryan Williams on his appointment as Governor of OED V and wish him every success in this new command.
I also ask the citizens and crew of OED V to extend Ryan their full support as he begins this important chapter in the colony’s history.
