Welcome to the Epsilon Fleet Ops!
Starbase 369 – A New Era Begins in 2425
Welcome aboard, and thank you for being part of the story as we rebuild Epsilon Fleet. Operating out of Starbase 369, Epsilon stands at the crossroads of challenge and opportunity, where diplomacy, exploration, and tactical readiness converge.
Fleet Ops is the nerve center of our revitalized organization. From here, we coordinate starships, oversee strategic initiatives, and support the captains and crews charting the unknown. We are writing the next chapter of Epsilon, one that honors the legacy of what came before while forging boldly ahead into what lies beyond.
So dust off your duty jacket, settle into your station, and prepare to make your mark. The future of Epsilon Fleet starts now, and you're part of it.

=/\= Starbase 369 – Cargo Ring Access Corridor =/\=
Commander Hale walked down the corridor, looking carefully at the doors that lined it.
She came to a juncture and then retraced her steps. Arlen Transit & Freight was supposed to be somewhere around here.
"Computer, locate Arlen Transit & Freight.”
"Arlen Transit & Freight is three doors down to your left."
Elara followed the instructions and came to an unmarked door. She pressed the chime.
The door opened and a woman stood at the entrance. She looked Hale up and down. "Yes?"
"Deirdre Arlen?" Elara asked.
The woman nodded. "Is…

=/\= Fleet CO's Office =/\=
Commander Elara Hale entered Admiral MacLaren's outer office. She was the head of the Internal Affairs team assigned to review Security's operational practices over the past few months.
She had already met with Admiral MacLaren when she first reported in. This time, though, she had requested an immediate meeting.
The Admiral's yeoman, a young Bajoran ensign, lifted her eyes from the console with a quick smile. "Commander. Please take a seat," she gestured to a few chairs by the wall. "The Admiral will see you once she finishes her current meeting."
Hale nodded and sat…

Sidra saw the notifications as she and Will came back from the gym.
They were both flushed, shoulders loose, the good ache of exertion settling in. The kind that made the mind quieter, even if the day ahead promised anything but. Will peeled off toward the replicator, already arguing with it about protein ratios like it mattered. Sidra dropped her jacket on the chair and picked up the PADD from the counter.
Two messages.
She opened the official report first. That was instinct, discipline, habit. All of it braided together so tightly she didn’t have to think about it.

Stephen held her gaze.
"The Federation will negotiate what economic participation means," he said. "The Federation cannot guarantee that the Kaldari will retain complete control over resource allocation, that would contradict Federation authority. But the Federation can negotiate Kaldari participation in decisions affecting non-strategic resources, alternatives to Vethari monopoly pricing, and Federation commitment to break the Vethari's exclusive export control. Those are negotiable items."
Stephen paused to let that sink in before continuing, "As an initial step to build trust, the Federation is prepared to offer immediate medical aid supplies to address Tavrik III's air quality challenges and access to…

They left the northern docks, moving deeper into the industrial sprawl, through denser clusters of machinery and workers. The temperature climbed. The noise thickened. Under it all, a low vibration began, transmitted through the ground, the resonance of hundreds of machines working in rough unison.
The furnace belt made itself known through heat.
Stephen felt the temperature spike as they neared, not dangerous yet, but rising. The air thickened, pressing in. His jacket, comfortable minutes ago, now clung. The security detail sweated, faces flushed, hands wiping at skin. Only Khorev stayed composed, and Stephen doubted it was comfort. Just discipline.…

=/\= MacLaren MacCafferey Quarters =/\=
Sidra stirred at five sharp, no alarm required. Purpose steadied her, though her gaze lingered in the dim corners of the bedroom. The quarters had the right pieces, her people within them, yet they had not settled into feeling like home, not yet.
Stephen’s soft snore steadied the silence beside her. Sidra slipped from the bed with practiced ease, careful not to disturb the warmth they shared. She took her PADD from the bedside table and stepped into the walk-in closet, letting the door seal behind her before bringing up the light, sparing the chamber…

=/\= Ten Forward - USS Arawyn =/\=
The laughter had risen another notch when Sidra decided she had reached her limit. Ten Forward shimmered with reflected starlight and the cut-glass gleam of too many toasts. The room felt smaller with each round of applause, every new knot of conversation tightening the air a fraction more. Music threaded through the chatter. The crew did what crews do on the night before departure. They watched their captain, they measured one another, they tried on the shape of the ship that would hold them together by morning.
Sidra set her flute of champagne…

It hadn't taken Indi much time to unpack. She traveled light. Her quarters were larger than she'd expected. It had been a very long time since she'd served on a Starbase this size. Once unpacked, she roamed the empty space for a bit. The living room, the bedroom, the bathroom. It was a lot for one person.
She let her mind roam as well. Wander freely like it did so often lately.
Duty had kept her away from her wife for a very long time. Sure, they still had their connection, but she'd purposely dimmed that some time ago. It…

The following is a personal log from VADM Sidra MacLaren.
=/\= Starbase 369, Fleet Commander’s Office =/\=
The office was unfinished.
Conduits lined the ceiling like exposed veins, a faint ozone tang still lingered in the air, and the promised panoramic viewport had yet to be installed. But the desk was solid, the terminal worked, and the fleet had arrived, at least on paper.
Vice Admiral Sidra MacLaren stood with her arms folded, her eyes on the glowing LCARS display. The personnel record of Captain Sabrina June Corbin hovered before her, sharp and pristine.
Thirty-eight. That was young for a…
