Personal log: Stardate 868341.7

I spoke with the Captain about her personal experiences with her brother while Discovery was visiting Ni'Var today. We discussed his life and rebirth. I have been reading his writings on the subject of life after death and relating it to my own experiences.

A view of the planet Ni'Var (formerly Vulcan) seen in space. The atmosphere is rather blue at this time of day over the planet. An orbital satellite is in the right forgeound over Ni'Var. The stars of the Ni'Var system shine from the left of the image.

Voyager's command tribunals have ended. Captain Janeway has been promoted to Admiral, the Maquis crew have been given Starfleet commissions. I however am still being studied, scanned and not given a commission. Janeway tried. I believe that I am...
I'm upset.

The Crossfield is en route to Setlik III after attending a diplomatic conference at Cardassia Prime. I was gifted a copy of "The Never Ending Sacrifice" translated into Federation standard from Councilor Nestral. I gifted him with a bottle of Pinot Noir.

A Crossfield class Federation starship passing through a brown colored interstellar gas cloud. The ship has a tan tinted hull and is illuminated with blue dots of lights from windows and blue strips of lights coming from the bridge, some sensor strips near the deflector, and the warp nacelles.

The Europa is stopping by Starbase 2 for minor repair and personnel transfer. A micro-meteoriod storm hit the ship in the last system surveyed. Commander el-Shabazz is on leave to Earth for the Hajj. Lt. Commander Tyrell will be covering as interim Chief Engineer.

A Nimitz-class Federation starship with four warp nacelles sits in orbit of a blue Earth-like planet. The nacelles sit both above and below the saucer of the ship. The bussard collectors are tinted with a blue glow. The front of the saucer has an NX-class style deflector dish. Sitting on a raised platform above the saucer in the center aft of the ship between the warp pylons is a neck section leading up to a pod where the bridge of the ship sits.

The Enterprise is leaving orbit of New Tokyo. There was a small outbreak of Rigelian flu there. Nothing too bothersome.
But believe it or not our pointy eared science officer actually was successful in helping me synthesize a vaccine!

I have arrived in the capital city on Romulus. My friend, Senator Pardek, greeted me after my departure from the shuttle that brought me down from orbit. We walked a maze of paths through the city to reach an old dry underground cistern.

Okay, I know I don't technically need to record these since I'm not in Starfleet at the moment, but I'm going to do it anyways.
We plundered some treasures from a Ferengi smuggler, including a Hebitian vase and jade mask. Ohh I am so scanning those for science!

An Orion interceptor starship seen in "Star Trek: Lower Decks". This version is spiker than the usual interceptor. The ship is triangular with two wing struts in the back. It also features green glowing strips on the starship. The background is a Star and asteroid field in space.

I loved those pictures of you and Molly in that mountain meadow, I've framed it and put it in our quarters on DS9. Those flowers look lovely too. I've been busy overhauling the deflector arrays of the station. It's kept me busy

With all my love,

The Klingons have disembarked. Basic repairs have been made. The tug ships Portland, Hatteras, and the Makapuʻu have arrived to tow Starbase 1 to the orbit of Jupiter. Once the base is more repaired we'll be returning the biome pods back to this fine port.

A picture of Starbase 1 from "Star Trek: Discovery" in space. The space station features a disk section down near the bottom with docking ports sticking out from it like spokes on a naval ship wheel. From the disk a huge spire stands upright from that section with structural supports bracing the spire every other port.

The LeGuin is engaged in deep anthropological research in the Usonia system studying a planetoid that appears to be an ancient T'Konian structure. It appears to have been some kind of a library and necropolis of sorts. It is truly astonishing the technology they had

A Mars class starship in the black void of space. The primary hull is relatively diamond shaped and the nacelles are in two detached underslung sections of hull that are at an obtuse angle. Two blue streaks of light are coming from the back of the nacelles. The saucer is lined with some windows.

The captain has finished today's briefing on where Starfleet command has ordered the Bellerophon to. It is hard to think that even as this war rages on, back home on Earth the ancient holiday of Christmas is happening today. The crew needs down time today.

An intrepid class starship in space. Its saucer section is spoon shaped, and its deflector dish is happy to see you!

Farragut is taking routine scans of D'aria VI. The planet is Minshara class and home to a bronze age tech level of humanoid lifeforms. My first officer, in other news, has once again challenged me to a game of tri-dimensional chess.

The Armstrong is nearing the end of its 5 year cruise of exploration. We have stopped by Betazed for a baryon sweep to cleanse the ship before returning to Earth. My call with Admiral Nguyen was cut rather short after the feed was severed at his end.

A 32nd century Constitution class starship. Registry USS ARMSTRONG NCC-317856. The ship is in orbit over a cloudy planet. The saucer section kinda looks like a bunch of ringed sections were strapped together for the saucer section. Nacelles look very bare bones as if you can see the warp coils themselves.

Ensign's log: Stardate 877844.1

The Los Angeles is towing the Druk to Deep Space Repair Alpha Four. The Druk faced heavy damage due to a massive burst of Hawking radiation emanating from this black hole. My job is to monitor the tractor beam power levels. Man, look at those levels!

In the foreground are two starships of my design. On the right is my 32nd century version of the California class starship. It retains much of the features of its 24th century counterpart, but with a ring saucer section and a sleeker design. The ship has yellow operations division hull livery on the saucer section. Behind the USS Los Angeles is a blue conical tractor beam. Being towed in the beam is my 32nd century Georgiou class starship. It is a futuristic take on the early 23rd century Walker class starship. The ship features a ringed saucer section with a lowered down neck leading to a hemisphere section where the bridge amongst other facilities are. The Georgiou class also has a rollbar kind of arched secondary hull and two detached underslung nacelles. The background is a fantastic artist's rendering of a black hole with reddish orange glowing rings of debris swirling in to eventually be sucked in beyond the event horizon into the inky singularity.

The Nebula is in orbit under cloak of a pre-warp civilization in the Zeta Organis system. They call themselves the "Ba'al". They are split into multiple nation states and have recently entered the information age. Much like Earth's 21'st century.

This image is one of my own creation!
The image is of an Anaya class starship. The ship is a large ring shaped saucer section. Below the saucer section is a detached engineering section of an elongated oval shaped where the deflector dish and warp core are. Above the saucer section is a small detached sensor and torpedo platform. Above and below the aft of the ship are the ship's four detached nacelles. The planet is in orbit of a brown and blue hued planet. A single star is seen in the background.

The Resolute and the Arev have been gathering sensor data on long range sensors just a few light-years away from the Dominion front lines for five months. Each day we must break comms blackouts to report our findings to the Alliance. Then we haul ass out of there.

Two refit Centaur class starships sit in orbit over a blue planet with numerous cloud formations in the atmosphere. These refit Starfleet ships differ from the usual Centaur class by having a deflector dish.

The Donatra is studying a nebula on the far side of Tholian space. We will be traversing the Nebula for 3 weeks, 2 days, and 12 hours. The remaining two and a half days will be spent for the crew to take shore leave on a nearby M-class planet.

A 32nd century Ni'Var T'Pau type starship. The perspective is from the forward dorsal port side. The ship is long and pointy on both ends and a blunt lower section that stretches down to the detached warp ring nacelle. The ship is in the black void of space with a subtle blue nebula glowing in the top right of the picture.

Discovery has just completed three days and three nights of shore leave on Risa. Hugh and I had a marvelous vacation in a villa in the mountains.
As lovely as that was I am trying to figure out who didn't refill the spore canisters in the interim.
