Stardate: 3064.3

The Mercury is in orbit of Earth to pick up and drop off packages and physical mail. I look forward to our next delivery stop at Denobula. I always enjoy stopping by home. In the meantime nothing stops the FPS not ion storm nor asteroid breakup, nor tachyons.
A pace scene over Earth. The planet is large in the lower left corner. The view is situated over eastern Asia. On the left above Earth is the sun. On the right is the moon, a Kelvin type starship, a Miranda class starship, and a shuttle. Silhouetted over Earth is a cargo carrier ship made with some Constitution class parts. And another shuttle coming out of the shuttlebay.

Shuttlecraft Galileo is rendezvousing with the Starship Hood. Five ensigns and I are going to be under investigation for the murder of Ensign Shue. No one knows how the death occurred as the Shuttle lost power and we all do not remember the elapsed five minutes.
A dark space scene. on the left side is a close-up view of the Class F Shuttlecraft Galileo from the USS Enterprise. On the right in the distance is the Constitution class USS Hood.

The supplies of Tulaberry wine I acquired managed to net Book and I four pieces of dilithium, two bars of Latinum, and one Starfleet black box from the time of the Burn. Book thinks it's a futile use of resources, but I must know what happened to the Federation.
A scene from "Star Trek: Discovery" showing Cleveland Booker's ship in space. The left side of this thin wedge of his ship has a window where the ship's bridge and living quarters are at. The right side of the ship is angled like a blade and is where cargo storage is kept.

Stardate: 869209.8

In all my years since activation I have encountered a new medical problem. A cadet in repairing a replicator mixed up the input from the bio matter tanks with the programmable matter tanks. I have been fixing chipped teeth from tritanium food since breakfast!
A screenshot from the trailer for "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy". It shows the USS Athena down in position over the Academy grounds in San Francisco, Earth. The Golden Gate bridge still exists and there are a great number of new skyscrapers that do not exist in the year 2026. There are even some floating structures floating over the city. There seems to have also been an airshow because a colorful Starfleet Delta was emitted over the bay. The Athena herself consists of a central saucer section with a raised dome protruding from the top of the vessel. The impulse engines are just behind the dome. A rectangular section sits at a downward 45° angle below the saucer in this mode. Also two semi-circular wings sit floating midway up this rectangular section.

While most of my people settled on and reunified on Ni'Var, some Romulan citizens remain on various worlds among the cosmos. Today we are checking in on Mol'Rihan who rejoined the Federation 19 years ago today. We have been greeted by the refitted RRW Virinat.
A space scene featuring an earth-like planet with a slightly lavender hued atmosphere and three moons. There is also a blue nebula in the background glowing in the top right corner. In the foreground are two starships. The one on the right is an old 23'rd Century Romulan Bird of prey scorched and battered with centuries of scars and its nacelles mildly changed with green glowing bussard collectors and a green strip along the inside facing section of the nacelle. On the left is a Ni'Var starship I designed with a long central spine of the ship and a head on the front with a beak like projection and a hump on the aft. The middle of the ship is surrounded by an oval shaped warp ring nacelle. The design is a 32nd century blending of the Vulcan D'Kyr starship and the Romulan D'Deridex all with a tan metallic hull and yellow glowing accents in the ring.

For yet unknown reasons the USS Thant has decloaked and opened fire on us. Bryce is hailing them and still they do not answer. Commander Burnham's scans are inconclusive. The crew are all there, but what would cause a Starfleet ship to attack another?
A space scene. In the lower middle of the picture is the USS Discovery A, a refit Crossfield class starship. In the upper middle is a Starfleet Friendship class opening fire on Discovery with blue phaser beams and four red photon torpedoes.

Discovery is helping put the final touches on the new Titan Repair Station. This place will help rebuild the Federation ahead of a bright new future. Earth eagerly requested the station for the Sol system, and Ni'Var sent the NSS Voroth to offer their assistance.
Space scene in the Sol system. Seen here is Saturn in the top left and Titan on the right side. In front of Titan is a Federation deep space repair station consisting of various floating rings of metal along a thin spine atop a square base and four docking arms. On the left is the Federation Starship Discovery and a Ni'Var starship behind Discovery. Four little shuttle are seen darting between the station and the Discovery.

Captain Soval, Commander Taris, and Lt. Commander Ngowa are all dead. The chain of command sits on my shoulders over the hulk of scrap that is the USS Oregon. Last thing I saw was a Klingon D7 decloaked and fired a flurry across the ship, crippling us.
A black void of space with a few stars shining. In it are two ships. In the foreground is the Starfleet ship (Pioneer class). It is rather banged up, singed and tilted at an angle so you know things are bad when the ship looks like a sinking ship. Behind them is a Klingon D7 battlecruiser. It has fired off two green disruptor beams and a photon torpedo.

Our newly commissioned base in the Garadius system's asteroid belt was always going to be a tense and controversial defensive position. The Romulans just fired three low yield plasma torpedoes as a warning shot. No damages, and no casualties reported.
A dark space scene with a few stars sprinkled against the inky blackness. In the foreground sit three Romulan Birds of Prey in formation. They are facing away from the camera. They each have fired off a red glowing ball of plasma in torpedo form. In the distant background is a grey asteroid, a Federation K-type station, and two Starfleet ships.

I am acting as flag officer representing the Federation aboard the Lexington. The Redwood and the Crossfield have joined me in this effort of establishing Paradise City on Nimbus III.

Admiral V'Rek of the Romulans and General M'Rall of the Klingons are here too.
A dark space scene. a sandy dusty desert planet can be seen on the left side of the picture partially illuminated by its star. the planet has two dark blue moons off to the right of the planet. Below the planet are three Romulan Birds of Prey. Above the moons are three different Starfleet ships. From left to right are a cargo hauling ship (The Redwood), a classic Constitution class (The Lexington), and a Crossfield class (and the ship of which the class was named). In the bottom right are two Klingon D7 battlecruisers.

The Del Sol is orbiting Earth to pick up new crew members. On rotation for this voyage are Ensigns Ahr Harrison, Pranica, Priddy, and Tilley. Today they join Starfleet on the greatest trek of their generation as we set out to explore the depths of the Alpha quadrant.
The background is a screenshot of Google Earth showing the northern hemisphere over North America. In the foreground is my TOS styled Nebula class starship: the USS Del Sol NCC-420. The ship is a kitbash of my Constitution class model. The saucer has the neck of the ship extending upwards to a circular sensor pod disc. Then from a boxy rectangular engineering section out of the back of the saucer is the shuttle bay in the back and hanging off pylons below that are the warp nacelles. Image made by me! :)

The Hood has been thrown back in time to the Earth of 2026 on the cusp of World War Three. We are maintaining a large orbit to not gain the attention of humans of this time who are about to tear themselves apart for petty differences. Historian Lt. Chu is advising.
The background is a screenshot of Google Earth centered over the Indian ocean. Faint stars can be seen in the background. In the foreground is a 23'rd century (TOS style) constitution class starship. the hull registry is listed as NCC-1703. Image made by me! :)

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.

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 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!

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.
