‘This used to be a cool fun ship to cruise around and do neat stuff in…no really, before this zannyness with the Vaadwaur, it was a wicked fun ship to serve on. But then the Vaadwaur came…and we’ve been stuck here, ion welded to this silly asteroid since the first shot was fired over 3 and half months ago. 3 and a half!!! That’s like more then a 100 days….and man, these emergency rations suck boss!!!… When we getting out of here?’ – June 20, 2402, quote from Petty Officer Dalton Morris

Writers notes-
The command is currently in the ‘Cetacean Story Arc’, involving stories from the Bottom Deckers, Frozen Man, Perihelion, and TTGL missions.
Summary- With the 3 survivors of the ships recent crash landing, and a new cobbled together crew of misfits. Commander Tyler must now lead his understaffed but well motivated crew through missions ranging from the mundane, to the exhilerrating through to the outright bizarre.
Theme and style notes: The general theme is lighthearted and fast placed, with plenty of trekno babble, thought provoking fan service, and ccomedy. Though sometimes resembling typical ‘Trek’ in style and tone, elements and themes reminiscent of LD and other sci fi franchises will often share the stage. ‘Bottom Deckers'(represented by basically everyone else on the ship) will be grittier and explore some darker themes and be a vehicle for trek style social commentary and literary experimentation with under developed species/lifeforms while still injecting a liberal amount of comedy.

Dergan Space Launch Centre Barka, in his role as Deputy Launch Director, was the de facto 2nd most senior person in the Dergan Space Launch Department. In keeping with the Dergan society precepts of not ever telling anyone what to do, there was no ‘Head’ of a Dergan Space program as that would [...]
