“Steadfast against the darkness; for we are the sentinels of light”
The USS Sentinel is an Independence-class Heavy Frigate currently servings its five year mission to explore strange new worlds and discover new civilization. Follow our exciting new journey as we travel across the stars overcoming the harsh reality that is space, the final frontier.
Commanding Officer:
Welcome to the Sentinel!
"You know the greatest danger facing us is ourselves, an irrational fear of the unknown. But there's no such thing as the unknown, only things temporarily hidden, temporarily not understood." - Captain Kirk
First Officer:
“We were born to be free, to expand our horizons by going where we have never gone before, and not to hang out in the relative comfort and safety of the nest, the known. There is a place within us that is courageous beyond our human understanding; it yearns to explore beyond the boundaries of our daily life.” – Dennis Merritt Jones
Chief of Security:
Figure out how the intruders got on and off the ship. Also run background checks on the notable personnel from CIPHARUS III and the mine.
Chief Medical Officer:
Send out search teams to make sure no one was injured by the intruders or the sudden shut down of power. Prepare for emergency medical situation on CIPHARUS III.
Chief Science Officer:
Run sensors from the bridge to determine if you can pinpoint anything strange around the station and our ship. Run an analysis of the note that was given to Yeoman Rand. Do a geographical background on CIPHARUS III.
Chief Engineer:
Get the ship back online and ready to depart. Complete research about CIPHARUS III's mine and the structure of it. Be prepared to help with rebuilding/reenforcing structures upon arrival.

Current Mission: The Maw of Chronos
Mission Description: Something ancient waits beyond the stars. The USS Sentinel responds to a signal that should not exist—awakening a force that feeds on time, and terror.
Mission Summary: While conducting a routine survey of the Sagan’s Veil Nebula, the USS Sentinel detects unusual gravimetric fluctuations emanating from deep within the cloud. Starfleet orders a closer investigation. What the crew finds hidden in the storm will test the boundaries of science, sanity, and time itself.
