Welcome to the USS Chimera!

Adjust. Adapt. Overcome

The year is 2395, peace echoes throughout the Federation leading to another era of exploration and discovery. The only threats are the usual ones, with the usual opponents, as well as the scourge of occasional pirate activity. The borders of the Federation in all of the Quadrants is being expanded in the name of curiosity.

USS Chimera, NCC 80118, reclaimed from the ruins of the former USS Aegir, repaired and put into mothballs as a new ship, has just been recommissioned and placed under the command of Commander Calypso Skyie, a former Marine-turned-Starfleet officer. Last in line for a refit; Last in line for crew; Last in line for 'interesting' duty assignments.

Placed as out of the way as possible, the closest starbase is Starbase 614, USS Chimera is a Luna-class starship on the edge of beyond. Out of sight, out of mind. Responding to routine signals, investigating anomalies, everything that other Captains don't want to deal with. So what could go wrong?

Murphy has something to say about that.

As I'm sure you've all seen the Pegasus Fleet Monthly Report for August already, but juuuust in case you didn't, I wanted to point out to you all that despite being active for just under three weeks, we got out 51 character posts and earned our first Gold Sim Of The Month award!



Many congratulations to all of you, without whom we wouldn't be who we are nor wouldn't have won this award! Let's keep it up and go try to win another!

» So Here's What Happened

Posted on Thu Jul 8th, 2021 @ 4:34am by Captain Calypso Skyie in General News

Hi, I'm Calypso Calliope Skyie, my call sign was Calamity, but everyone calls me Cally once they get to know me. Yes, I was a fighter pilot, yes, I was an assault shuttle pilot and well... I was a Marine.

But that's not important right now. I'm sure you're wondering: How did you get here, in command of the Chimera? Well, that's a long story and you'll get it in time. Trust me.

To make that particular long story short, I went to the Fleet after I couldn't fly fighters anymore, learned to fly starships and worked my way up to this, picking up my beagle Artemis along the way. Of course, the ship they gave me is a wonderful Luna-class, but they gave me one that someone else broke and then put back together and stuffed into mothballs.

So what we've got now is a ship that isn't in great shape, not that much in the way of supplies and the Starfleet Office of Personnel promises me that we're getting most of our crew once we get to Starbase 634, to go along with some newly graduated cadets and some enlisted with whatever senior officers they can find.

My question is: Are you up to the task? It's a challenge, but together, We Got This.

Kally had kept comms open to keep an ear out, and when she heard they had wounded incoming, called for a medical team to transporter Room one before redirecting her turbolift.

She got there ahead of the team and walked in just as the operator said "Transporter Room 1 here—slight…

The team rematerialized in a dimly lit cargo bay, the air thick with the scent of scorched metal and recycled oxygen. The hum of barely functioning power conduits vibrated through the deck plating, a low rhythmic pulse that spoke of a ship…

Cargo Bay 8


Espersen barked orders as he walked into the cargo bay, seeing the satellite on their empty deck. “Kellerman, get into this thing’s computer system. Tanikawa, I want to know about what kind of signals it puts out. How was it hiding the pirate ships, precisely? Let’s see…

Alexander Espersen sat in the command chair, having watch over the bridge in these final minutes before they reached their destination. He had done his rounds earlier. He knew the Chimera and her crew were ready for this engagement. Marines were ready to give these pirates a good ass-kicking…

The noise and light of the transporter faded, leaving only the darkness of the room around them. A series of sharp beams of light snapped on in quick succession.

Natalya moved the light on her rifle around the room, sure that the squad was doing the same. Nothing immediately…

"Captain's Log, stardate yadda yadda, computer fill that in when you have a chance." Cally was already frustrated about having to be in this hover-chair, wanting to get out of it despite the pain as she just... SAT in her ready room.

"It's hard to believe that we've only been…
