  • Drake slouched onto the empty
turbolift early the next morning, coffee cup still in hand, and leaned against
the bulkhead with his eyes shut. ‘Bridge.’ But before the doors could slide shut, a figure slipped
in to join him, a…
  • ‘It’s a night for the special wine?’ Rourke raised an eyebrow as
Sadek waltzed into his quarters. 

‘When is it not?’ said the doctor, immediately going for the
bottle-opener on the dining table. ‘But here we are, th…
  • Valance watched with pursed
lips as Drake brought Endeavour out
of orbit of Talmiru II and set in the flight route for them to leave the system
before going to warp. ‘I have
to warn you, sir,’ she said to Rourke, voic…

Week 2 (20th-26th February) As we settle into the campaign’s second week, stories all over the Archanis Sector begin to heat up! The Vondem Thorn has seen their first action against the Hunters of D’Ghor, fending off a…
  • ‘It’s quite unpleasant viewing,’ Carraway had warned them when he’d
arrived in the CIC, fresh from the surface of Talmiru and his interviews with
survivors of the D’Ghor’s raid. 

Dathan had maintained her
ap…
  • At the outskirts of Venjest,
Talmiru II’s heaviest-hit
settlement, the Calder
had set up a relief station of prefabricated structures and canvas
canopies which had only grown over the ten hours since Endeavour’s arriv…
  • Beckett harrumphed in response, obviously impatient with the idea of dictating this level of detail, as if those victimised by brutal raiders should be satisfied by Starfleet merely fending them off rather than helping rebuild their lives. "Pri…

Week 1 (13-19th February) 
The Archanis Campaign has got off to a roaring start with its first week! Admiral Beckett has issued summons to face the unchecked aggression of the Hunters of D’Ghor, and the Fourth Fleet has …
  • ‘Coming up on the Talmiru System,’ Drake reported from the fore of
the bridge. 

Thawn, next to him, clicked her
tongue. ‘Sending you the latest
sensor telemetry, Helm. Local nav buoys and systems are down, s…
  • Beckett made a tired sound which, at least, did not appear directed at al-Haajid. 'The nearby Klingon Houses are embroiled in affairs along their border with the Gorn. And so long as the D'Ghor are more of a problem for Starfleet than the Empire...'…
  • The summons came quickly. Beckett had only moved recently into this office, circumstances forcing him from the heart of his power on Starbase Bravo. Already he had stamped it with his own identity, ensured decorations of stylish artwork, ensured hi…
  • Everything was going perfectly
to plan. 

It had taken no small effort to
make Admiral Beckett think assigning her temporarily to Endeavour was his idea. For all the man was an arrogant blowhard
he was still …
  • ‘This is just a formality,’ said Commander Valance as she sat on
Counsellor Carraway’s couch. His office was maybe the cosiest room on the ship,
all comfortable soft furnishings and soothing artwork, and in the gentle
lightin…
  • Lieutenant Drake made Endeavour’s docking
at Starbase 27 look easy, and not like threading a needle with almost four
hundred metres of tritanium. But the job wasn’t quite finished. 

‘Full halt reached,’ Drake repor…
  • Kuskir could taste the blood and the fear. It filled him, drove him as he stalked between the buildings, prefabricated colonial structures wrecked and burning from the disruptor fire of his hunters. Most of the humans had fled in weakness and their …
  • ‘Why me?’ said Drake, following Kharth along the corridor to
Transporter Room 2. ‘Surely you can get the FNG from here to the captain’s
ready room without him being shot or something, badass Chief of Security like
you?’ &…
  • ‘Alright, get your blinds in, you two,’ said Drake as he began to
deal two cards to all six players seated at Cortez’s dining room table. 

‘Ah yes,’ muttered Sadek. ‘Goodbye, chips I’ll never see again.’ 

…
  • ‘I’m fine, Doctor -’ 

‘Actually, you’ve got a cracked rib.’ Her dress uniform collar
loosened now they were back on Endeavour,
Sadek gently pushed Kharth in place on the sickbay biobed. ‘So quit moving, and then it’…
  • (Image) Rourke wasn’t sure what the twelve-stringed, curved wooden
instruments were, but he could tell the ensemble playing for the dignitaries
gathered at the Remidian-Kendikar Treaty signing were killing it. ‘Are they
anyon…
  • ‘Baranel! If you’re going to dawdle like that on the emergency
forcefield diagnosis, you might as well check yourself back into Sickbay!’
Cortez stomped through the belly of Main Engineering, a stormcloud to run amok
through …
  • The door-chime sounded a mere
ten minutes after Valance had got back to her quarters after a long shift. With
too many hours under her belt supervising Endeavour’s repairs, anything interrupting her serious plans
of a hot mea…
  • Rourke wasn’t thrilled their debriefing with Rear Admiral
Beckett was held in Hargreaves’s ready room on the Caliburn, but it was the most spacious and
kept them out from underfoot on Starbase 157. Moving through the Caliburn had bee…
  • ‘Everyone aboard, Commander,’ came Thawn’s crisp, clear voice -
and then it caught. ‘Cancel that. We lost Commander Rourke’s signal, he’s still
on the station.’ 

Valance sat up in the command
chair, throat t…
  • The breach of the security wing
started like clockwork, but soon enough Kharth had a Terran’s hands wrapped around her throat. Spots
blasting before her eyes, she swiped her fist up to try to break his arm lock,
only to get s…
  • Kharth was halfway through helping
Chief Kowalski double-check the Hazard Team’s gear when Airex burst into Transporter Room 2, brandishing
several PADDs. She dropped her hands from Shikar’s rifle, and turned. ‘Commander,
thi…
  • Like a well-oiled machine, Endeavour’s bridge
crew took turns in reporting the situation, though none of them sounded like
they enjoyed waiting. Rourke couldn’t blame them. 

‘Caliburn
taking position; Odysse…
  • Doctor Sadek didn’t look up from her equipment check as Kharth
spoke. ‘Yes, Lieutenant,’ she drawled at length. ‘I know the drill. I’ve
probably seen more combat than all these kids put together.’ A languid hand was
waved at …
  • As promised, Captain Hargreaves
delivered the new tactical plan within a matter of hours, and even as they ran
their drills the three starships went to warp. It took that long before Kharth
could beam to the Odysseus at Rourk…
  • ‘This wasn’t designed for presentations,’ Airex grumbled as he
transferred his briefing files from his PADD to the CIC’s holo-projector. 

‘It is if you use it right,’ said Rourke. ‘Now hurry up,
Hargreaves and Aquil…
