USS Cardinal

Cutting The Border's Edge

A long patrol lay ahead of the USS Cardinal. The Nebula's sensor pod scans across the border for signs of anything unusual.

Mission Description

The USS Cardinal leaves the sun-bleached resorts of Janoor III behind as the vessel moves coreward along the Breen border. It has been almost two years since the border was last scrubbed in detail. Along with ship movements, Captain Raku and his crew will search for signs of new construction and development within colonies along the border between Breen and Federation space.

Each crewmember looks to balance routine and duty with relaxation. Shore leave has only dampened each person’s thirst for entertainment. Much of duty seems uneventful, yet they must remain vigilant.  Relationships developed over the past few months continue to grow. Some face challenges.

Captain Raku must shoulder the responsibilities of command while negotiating his way through his mysterious, new partner’s sudden pregnancy. Only time will tell if she is genuine or has something more nefarious in mind. It is clear that Greta Lazio has changed the Raku clan indefinitely.

Expressions of anxiety still crested their features as [...]

Outbreak: Jovian Mind Flu

USS Cardinal: Cutting The Border's Edge

Main Sickbay aboard the USS Cardinal pulsed with the steady vibration of life-support monitors, sterilizers, and the occasional hiss of an applied hypospray. The Nebula-class starship carried nearly seven hundred and fifty souls. For most of them Sickbay was a place they only passed through [...]

Another Day in Main Engineering

USS Cardinal: Cutting The Border's Edge

Main Engineering hummed with the layered noise of the Cardinal’s powerplant. The symphony of buzzing hums never fully rested. The luminous warp core stretched like a column of contained lightning from the base of the room’s lower deck to the top of the upper floor. Ceiling height here [...]
