Bravo Fleet
USS Melbourne (NCC-71944)
An old dame with a long and storied career, some would say ships like Melbourne are long past their prime. But to her crew, hashed-together at the last minute though it may be, there's nowhere else they'd rather be.
USS Melbourne
Nebula-class • NCC-71944 • Task Force 47 • Managed by CDR Charlotte MacColgan
Recently returned from the fire and ice over Andoria, USS Melbourne is an old and battered, but intact, workhorse. Still, it was believed that Nightfall was to be her last action- until Task Force 47, largely by necessity, called her to service again. What was initially a last-minute call to action will become a misfit but tight-knit crew on a vessel that, though old, is far from being put out to pasture just yet. Sometimes all you need is a tall ship and a star to steer her by.

The room seemed bigger in the candlelight. The tan stone walls fell away into the dim shadows of the long rectangular dining space, their unadorned surfaces shuffling into the nothingness without even a whisper. The bones of the house knew their place as they silently bowed into the corners of the [...]

“I’m not going to lie, Aryanna, I didn’t have you down as a chef,” Varen offered a smile as he lifted another box from the pile of ingredients that rested on a nearby pallet, diligently organised by Commander Heinz. It all seemed pretty reasonable and standard fair as he [...]
