Welcome to the USS Chimera!
Adjust. Adapt. Overcome
The year is 2396, peace echoes throughout the Federation leading to another era of exploration and discovery. The only threats are the usual ones, with the usual opponents, as well as the scourge of occasional pirate activity. The borders of the Federation in all of the Quadrants are being expanded in the name of curiosity.
USS Chimera, NCC 80118, reclaimed from the ruins of the former USS Aegir, repaired and put into mothballs as a new ship, has been recommissioned and placed under the command of Captain Calypso Skyie, a former Marine-turned-Starfleet officer. She used to be last in line for a refit; Last in line for crew; Last in line for 'interesting' duty assignments.
Against all odds, Chimera has succeeded beyond anyone's wildest beliefs, much less the Admirals who sent her and her crew out to exile and death. Just returning from a diplomatic expedition from hell without any diplomats, Chimera has new adventures in front of her.
And a reputation.
The crew of career misfits has coalesced as an honest to God team, despite their status as still BEING misfits. The brand new out-of-the-Academy officers have matured faster than would have been possible and there are even some personnel who haven't screwed their careers up beyond reclamation. Some even WANT to be here.
What's next for the crew of the USS Chimera and her stalwart (if rather lax) Captain? The Stars Are The Limit.
And without a doubt, Murphy has something to say about everything staying sane.

Mission: Chimera and Deep Space 16
Posted on Mon Oct 19th, 2026 @ 10:59am by Rear Admiral Nevin Enor
The Juneau dropped out of warp with a slight vibration running through the deck. Deep Space 16 filled the forward viewscreen, its docking facilities crowded with Starfleet vessels, civilian transports, and support craft moving through designated traffic lanes.
Mercer leaned forward, studying the traffic display. "Well, there she is. DS16. Chen, how are we looking?"
"Thrusters green, navigation green, medical systems operational. Traffic's a mess around the docking ring."
"Nothing new." Mercer opened a channel. "DS16 Control, Medical Transport Juneau, attached to the Fleming. Requesting landing clearance. Priority medical assignment involving the USS Chimera."
"Juneau, Control. Authorization confirmed. Landing Pad…

USS Fleming — Main Medical Bay
“Bell, either convince that woman to stay on the biobed or get somebody who can.”
Lieutenant Marcus Bell looked over his shoulder, visibly frustrated with the elderly Tellarite woman who had spent the better part of fifteen minutes refusing his examination. “Commander, I've tried everything short of bribing her. She's threatened to bite me twice.”
“Three times!” the Tellarite corrected.
“See? Three times. Thank you for clarifying.”
Chief Petty Officer Tessa Morgan passed behind him carrying a tray of hyposprays. “Have you tried being charming? Actually, never mind. That'd probably make things worse.” Lieutenant…

ON
Engineering was tense.
The room held a quiet energy as the trickiest phase of the overhaul was being conducted. While most systems could be swapped out with minimal interruption of operations, this one was different.
“Transfer primary power to fusion reactors.” JJ didn't have a console in front of her. She stood in the middle of the room, the engineering operations table behind her.
“System now running on fusion reactors. Power levels within tolerance.”
“Very good. Disengage plasma injection manifolds.”
“Plasma injectors off-line.”
“Reduce chamber reaction to one-fifty milicochranes.”
“Bring the reaction down.”
The swirling mass of energy inside…

The transport shuttle touched down on Deep Space 16 with a jolt that rattled the overhead compartments.
Corporal Jace Rourke opened one eye, glanced toward the cockpit, and shook his head.
"Well, shit. At least we hit something solid."
The elderly Bolian seated across from him gave him a disapproving look.
Rourke grinned.
"Relax, ma'am. If we were crashing, they'd have charged extra."
The hatch opened, and the passengers began filing out.
Rourke grabbed his duffel, slung it over his shoulder, and stepped onto the station. His orders were stored on the PADD tucked beneath his arm.

Kally had barely slept in the last few days. Finding out Tessa was having twins almost felt like an hallucination, but one check with the medical computer confirmed her mind hadn't made it up. She almost cried when she closed the last report and realized that the medical database was not only up to date, but was audit-worthy.
Then she did cry, as the emotions of everything she'd felt in the last two weeks came crashing down on her as the adrenaline of time-crunch panic wore off. She sat behind her desk and ugly cried for almost ten minutes straight…

Tinat, mitandu
Something has happened
Turns out, I’m a telepath, an ólenekuranílu.
Don’t worry, I’m safe. Not every Starfleet ship has a telepath on board, but the Chimera actually has a few—including Captain Skyie, who was present when it happened.
She caught me, shielded me. Taught me how to shield myself, although I’m still struggling with that. I need psi blockers to sleep, but the ones we have make me feel ill—not terrible; I can still do my job, but...aching,…

[error: data corrupt; attempting recovery........partial success; displaying recovered data.]
I almost died today.
I wish that was an exaggeration, but it’s not.
Well...I suppose the circumstances that led to this outcome were astronomically unlikely to happen anywhere but in the vicinity of a well-equipped and -staffed Starfleet medical facility; ours may not be quite as well-equipped as we’d like, but it is very well-staffed...but the point stands.
I suppose I should clarify: I wasn’t the only one who almost died, but I’ll get to that.
Of all things, it was the Makers-damned holodeck.

"Raven's Log, Stardate five nine two point six.
Sheesh! So much has happened since I got my new pipes! Not to mention I've been with the Chimera for...dang, four years now! Where's time gone!? I feel I've finally earned my place here on the Chimera, and will fight for her and my crewmates to the death. I wonder what my old Pit Crew's doing? I'll have to look them up here soon and let them know how I've grown." A smile crossed Raven's face as she thought of the Sliver Swans.

Personal Log — Senior Chief Jadizon Sigarda Enor
Stardate: [Redacted]
“Computer, begin recording.”
Jadizon didn’t usually keep personal logs. He walked the decks, handled problems, talked to his chiefs. That had always been enough.
Lately, it wasn’t.
“I died.”
He let the words sit for a second, then stood and started pacing slowly across his quarters, bare feet quiet against the deck plating.
“That is not dramatic language. My heart stopped. My body shut down. I crossed whatever line separates breath from silence.”
He paused near the viewport, staring out at the stars.
“And on the other side, something was…

"Captain's Log, Stardate...Oh hell, I hate these Stardate logs in any case."
"It really is a pity that we had to leave Tial in as much of a rush as we did. The hospitality on the surface was rather good, even among the teams I sent out to other areas on the planet. Their 'Council of Lights' was one governmental meeting that I could have done without, but the presence of the Baroness of Light's End and her former consort, the Light of the Eastern Watch helped with the introductions.
"Tial is not a technologically advanced world on it's own,…
