Welcome to the USS Astrea!
The year is 2389. The Romulan Empire is in shambles. Ever since the synthetic workers attacked the Utopia Planitia Shipyards on Mars, the Federation has become cautious, protective, some might even say distrustful of outsiders. With the major powers in the Alpha Quadrant spread thin, it's a perfect opportunity for pirates, terrorists, and common thieves to move in and try to take advantage of the chaos. There are also concerns that the Breen and the Tholians are looking for their opportunity to strike as Starfleet rushes to rebuild its Fleet. The USS Astrea was one of the first Dominion War dreadnaughts to be dug out of storage and given a brand new look and a prototype slipstream drive. Without time for a shakedown cruise, the new crew was thrust together and launched into action straight from space dock. Join them as they learn to trust one another, and test the limits of what this new ship can do.
We are a 2-2-2 18+ Sim in Theta Fleet. We will have both fast-paced and slow-paced writing options.
Mission Status: The crew has rescued an ancient civilization that had been cryostasis for over two millennia, and is currently tasked with establishing a new home for them. On first contact, the people seemed to have been the first victims of the beginnings of the Romulan Empire before they were known as Romulans, and the crew was eager to make a good impression as they moved toward positive diplomatic relations. As the crew learns more, it's becoming clear that there is more to the Atarans than they have been letting on.
