Welcome to the USS Ark Royal!
“There will be no peace as long as Kirk lives,”
The galaxy was watching closely when Klingon Ambassador Kamarag addressed the Federation Council, where he promised a continuation of hostilities unless his demands for justice were met.
Four years have passed since then, and true to the ambassador’s word, the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire remain in a tense state of Cold War.
It has become the responsibility of Starfleet to defend Federation space from Klingon aggression and prevent the Klingon Empire from gaining more influence among non-aligned states.
In Sector 262, at the distant linear edge of the Organian Neutral Zone, the Klingons have made progress in courting independent powers, threatening the power balance and opening an avenue for invasion. Even worse, Starfleet Intelligence has picked up evidence of advanced weapons research and development taking place in the region.
In response to the growing Klingon threat, Starfleet Command had dispatched the Constitution (refit) class starship USS Ark Royal to Sector 262. Her mission: to wave the flag, to counter Klingon influence in the region, and investigate the Intelligence reports.

Mission: ARYL 1X07: Feeling Like a Kid Again
Posted on Thu Nov 5th, 2026 @ 2:54pm by Captain T’Kal & Lieutenant Commander Valerie Novis & Lieutenant Commander Clay McEntyre & Lieutenant CASTIEL 'Cas' Johnson MD & Lieutenant JG Annika Johnson & Petty Officer, 1st Class Emilie Dovria
Leaving Lieutenant Gehente at the conn (young as she was), T'Kal had ordered the command and medical teams to sickbay for scans and to discuss what happened.
"Commander McEntyre," the Captain said, short legs dangling off a biobed that Clay had to lift her onto, "as the only one unaffected by this, I trust that you will take over if our condition causes undue problems."
“Yes Ma’am, but I am hoping we might speak before that becomes an issue” Clay nodded. T’Kal was still his commanding officer but with this…reversion, he was going to have to take command sooner rather…

Mission: ARYL 1X06: For Peaceful Purposes
Posted on Sun Oct 18th, 2026 @ 8:55pm by Lieutenant CASTIEL 'Cas' Johnson MD & Lieutenant JG Annika Johnson
Cas walked out of the turbolift still holding his pants up, grabbing his pants to so they didn't trip him.
"Big Annika, do you fink the cwew will take me seriously?" He asked as they walked out.
“Why not?” Annika gave her now much smaller and younger husband a look. “We’re all still us inside, it’s just our bodies that have changed.” She massaged her temples trying to shrug off a headache that she knew wasn’t going to go anytime soon.
“But I’m just a wittle guy now! I can’t ewen weach stuff without a steppy stool,” Cas complained, looking…

Mission: ARYL 1X07: Feeling Like a Kid Again
Posted on Fri Oct 16th, 2026 @ 4:43pm by Lieutenant Karane Inda & Lieutenant Commander David Erickson
The ship seemed so big, at least to the now child version of the ships chief engineer Karane Inda. It was late into the 'night', and many of the ships senior officers were already in bed. However, little Karane found herself at a door to a certain set of quarters. She looked like someone who was lost, more specifically a lost child. She was dressed in a set of matching pajamas, light pink with long sleeves, yet slightly cropped to expose her midriff. In her arms she clutched a fluffy, stuffed teddy bear. Overall, the only world to describe her…

Mission: ARYL 1X06: For Peaceful Purposes
Posted on Wed Oct 7th, 2026 @ 2:23pm by Petty Officer, 2nd Class Kevra Tharos & Captain T’Kal & Senior Chief Petty Officer C'Hira Summers
Captain’s Log, Stardate 8984.1. We’ve briefly rendezvoused with the USS Orsina, to take aboard the new Yeoman that Starfleet Command has assigned us.
It had been a long day on the bridge, followed by a long date in the office. A break to stretch her legs was warranted, so T’Kal decided to be the one to greet her new staff member in Transporter Room 1.
Already present were the Transporter Chief on duty, as well as Senior Chief Summers, ship’s quartermaster. “Good evening, nya, Captain,” she said.
T’Kal nodded politely before turning to the man at the console. “Report.”
“Ready…

Mission: ARYL 1X06: For Peaceful Purposes
Posted on Tue Oct 6th, 2026 @ 11:18pm by Ensign Saoirse O'Donnell & Ensign T'Shai
Saoirse stepped off the turbolift and into the shuttle bay, swiping a piece of lint from her uniform skirt before straightening up and checking her data slate as she waited for a science officer to show up so they could recalibrate the sensors on each shuttle.
It was only a few minutes later that the shuttle bay doors opened and a Vulcan stepped in with a slate of her own and glanced around, seeing the redheaded woman before nodding to her in a brief sharp motion. Her movements were fluid, but always restrained as if she were trying very hard…
