Welcome to the USS Montana!
Welcome to the Federation Starship USS Montana NCC-1889
A member of the Independence Fleet.
A member of the Independence Fleet.
We are a semi-canon based sim, having commenced our voyages in 2289, approximately two years after the events of the movie Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home with some modifications to the continuity.
We are now six months after the events of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, which is set in 2293. Thus the Federation and Starfleet are still expanding and the period of great exploration is underway. Are the Klingons we meet now friendly and trustworthy, or are they still dangerous and aggressive antagonists...
Key deviations from canon in our alternate timeline include:
1. StarTrek: The Motion Picture never happened but Captain James T Kirk completed a second five year mission and was promoted to Admiral;
2. The events in the other movies occurred as shown on screen:
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
3. At the end Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, James T. Kirk is demoted from Admiral to Commodore. He and the Enterprise were sent off on a third and final five year mission.
Sulu left the ship and was promoted to Captain of the Excelsior.
4. For us the future is open and unknown...

» Wiki updates with schematics and maps
Posted on Wed Jan 13th, 2021 @ 1:38pm by Captain RS Harrison in Website Update
I’ve made some wiki page updates primarily regarding phasers and communicators and track orders which results in four pieces of equipment that make it redesigned in the game.
I’ve also posted the deck plans in the map as a wiki page for reference without a better option I think will adopt those soon.
Similarly I have posted a link to a map of Federation space.
I also think there’s one other wiki page update but good night.
» Congratulations Mr. Ryson
Posted on Sun Jan 10th, 2021 @ 10:20am by Captain RS Harrison in Sim Announcement
I messaged Mr. Ryson privately but I thought I'd make a News item.
Mr. Ryson's post is Great. It is just about exactly what I asked for (I'm not looking) but I just read it and I was very please with what he turned in.
Congratulations, Mr. Ryson and thank you.
Feel free to post again while we wait for me to nudge us out of Spacedock. I think I mentioned everyone can make multiple posts like this so go ahead everyone.
Ryson put up a good example.
Anyone can contact me with questions but my schedule is weird and I may not reply quickly.
Thanks again.
P.S. I've read some other stuff that isn't published but since this is published and you can all see it I wanted to congratulate him in public. I've gotten a few questions and samples from players who clearly did not read my initial instructions and I was worried that I had not been clear but I'm satisfied now that I was not too vague in my assignment regarding the first post and that is partly why I'm making this public comment. That and Ryson's post was also enjoyable as noted. And... we're off!

Kestra rolled over with a soft moan. Katja and the Captain could put the drinks away. Normally, she was pretty careful with how much she drank. Being a telepath, you learned early control, but the bartender started making Andorian Sunsets a weakness of hers. She had only had…

Captain Adams came into the bar and sat down. He had invited everyone on the ship to join him at 1900 hours. Here it was, 1907 and no one was there. Were they too busy with family to come, or did they just forget?
Jackson was in his civilian clothes.…

Executive Officer's personal log.
Our "routine" visit to Babel was anything but. The crew performed admirably under less than ideal conditions. I'll formally recognize several crew members, including Ensign Odonnel and Lieutenant Mitchell. Lieutenant Ryan, on the other hand, showed exemplary ability on this mission. Often operating unsupervised, he was…

Katja looked at the scrolling data on her screen and a temporary sense of terror raced through her. After years of grueling education and training…this was it. The culmination of a lifetime’s worth of dreams and suddenly it was here…real. What was she going to do? She wasn’t ready! She…

Well, we're finally back onboard the USS Montana.

First Officer's Personal Log. Plex and his people have come to us for assistance. Something feels...off. They haven't volunteered why two of their people have been sentenced to death, and they seem unwilling to leave a planet they're calling home...even though it's not their original home. It could be nothing.…

Last night was the social gathering at The Twelve. I definitely stayed later than I should have. I'm assuming I'll see others look as bad or worse than me. At least I didn't drink, and had the sense to leave before the proverbial sunup. We might…
