Commanding Officer, USS Ardeshir - NCC-80120
Task Group 21-A "Defenders"
Welcome Message
I am Captain Diane Shelby, Commanding Officer of the USS Ardeshir, a Luna Class Long-Range Explorer. The USS Ardeshir is a Play By Web (PBW) Role-playing Game and is part of the Obsidian Fleet. More specifically, this ship is part of Task Group 21-A "The Defenders" which is part of Task Force 21 "Wolf Star Squadron".
We are a group of individuals that share a common interest; writing in the Star Trek world. We work together to punch out some of the best fan fiction that you'll read and we do it with a smile. Whether your an old hand at Star Trek RPGs, or a brand new person looking to expand your literary skills, come and join us for the adventure of a lifetime!
Sincerely,
Captain Diane Shelby
Commanding Officer, USS Ardeshir - NCC-80120
Task Group 21-A "Defenders"
After being patched up at Obsidian Colony, the USS Ardeshir and her crew set out on their latest self-given mission; find the torpedo stolen by Obisek. To ensure success, Captain Shelby teams up with her new friends aboard the USS Audacious and her infamous Captain, Joseph Banning.
Meanwhile, near Deep Space 4, trouble is just around the corner. A Warriari Prison Ship is ambushed by a lone Warbird. The USS Tucker is nearby to help but in the ensuing fire fight, communication is lost between the Tucker and the Station. The last message from the Tucker alerted all nearby ships; the Tucker had been boarded by Remans. This new lead in the hunt for Obisek sends the Ardeshir and the Audacious to track down both the Tucker and the Warbird, and to use whatever force is necessary to steal back the torpedo. How will things pan out? Will the torpedo be destroyed, or can they rescue it in time?

Hello everyone,
Triad has nominated and the Fleet Council has approved the newest member of the Joint Fleet Command. You all know her - she's a long-standing OF veteran with an absolute mass of skills, experience and no doubt post count as well. She's served in TF21, TF47, the Academy and JAG with distinction.
Please congratulate Engie as she joins the Triad and receives the rank of Admiral for her character, Thelek Uvar.
Adms. A'rea and Summersall-Haussen

G'day guys,
As you may have noticed we have just lost our Chief Security/Tactical Officer, Lieutenant John Smith. At the moment, I will not go into details as to why he has left us but I will say that it is being dealt with. With that, if you know of anyone who would like to come aboard into the role, get them to apply ASAP!
Regards,
Nathan
» Nova 2.0.1
Posted on Mon Feb 6th, 2012 @ 8:46pm by Lieutenant Commander Andrew Harrison in Website Update
While not what we originally envisioned for Nova 2, this major release is a stepping stone to Anodyne's next generation RPG management software. Our focus with Nova 2 has been on encapsulating the Nova core even more to insulate admins from the laborious task of updating the system. With a brand new file structure, you'll find that Nova 2 separates your code from our code in ways that Nova 1 can't compare to. In addition, Thresher gets a long-awaited refresh that includes page restrictions, a brand new page management user experience, draft cleanup and much more. More information about Nova 2 and a full changelog can be found at AnodyneDocs. This update is recommended for all users.
Everyone, the boss has asked me to do the above update straight away to Nova 2.0.1, so just to make it known; I have asked him to put the site into Maintenance Mode with this news item, meaning that only Teresa and Nathan will be able to login to the site (as they are the only two with full access). I will do a full backup of the site in case anything goes wrong, but I have done the update on my own site and no issues were found.

G'day everyone!
Just to let everyone know, the people who were here in October when we won the Bronze Unit of Merit; your bios have been updated with this award. I do apologise for not doing this sooner, it never occurred to me till now that I hadn't done it.
Also, three lucky people have been awarded the Obsidian Fleet Service Citation for six months active service aboard this sim! Please congratulate Lieutenant Commanders Danielle Logan and Andrew Harrison, as well as myself!
Oh wait, one last thing. You will probably notice that my rank has changed aswell. I have been promoted to the rank of Captain which I will make effective in-game very shortly. Until then, I am still a Commander in-character!

We have finally left the Utopia Planitia drydocks and have begun our journey to Deep Space Five. The Ardeshir is quite the ship; nothing like what I have served on before. Everything is shiny, new, and the feel of spendour is everywhere inside her.
The crew? They seem to have…
