"One equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will. To Strive, To Seek, To Find, and Not To Yield."-Alfred Lord Tennyson-
(As inscribed on the dedication plaque of the USS Pioneer NCC-74757)
However, the crew of the USS Pioneer has learned that within this rebuilding process there are two dark threats. The first comes from colonists being led by a former Starfleet Admiral and calling themselves the New Maquis. The second is from within Cardassia itself. The government led by Elim Garak is tedious at best. A group known as the True Way threatens to topple his government. Both of these dangerous factions, had been running in secret in attempts to bring down the alliance between the Federation and the Cardassian Union. However, now they are out in the open beating the drums of war.
The USS Pioneer enters it's second season attempting to hold the line from these threats on all sides. The Pioneer's Marine Detachment known as "The Cure" is geared and ready to put a stop to the threat. But is it enough? In short, their mission echoes their dedication plaque.
"USS Pioneer, To Strive, To Seek, To Find, and Not To Yield."
As part of their mission, the USS Pioneer was commissioned to join the USS Shanghai in achieving this goal. Station Empok Nor, was purposely restored to operational status for the task as a base of Starfleet Operations in the sector. Now the station stands as the final hurdle for the New Maquis and the True Way. If you think you have what it takes to face the enemy in these dark times, and NEVER YIELD then join the USS Pioneer as it enters it's second season with the darkest stories we have told to date.

» So That Was Helpful - "It Would Be Their Pleasure" Wrap Up
Posted on Wed Jan 30th, 2019 @ 7:04am by Captain Tyler Malbrooke in General News
As we close the month of January I am amazed. Amazed at each and every one of you. We finish the month at around 110 posts, which averages to about 6 posts per person. That is raising the bar everyone, and for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart. However, I must also caution you because now the bar is raised and now we need to keep the pace going. So with the new mission underway let's get to writing some fantastic lead ins.
I would like to publicly welcome back PO1C Willam Jackson I know I can speak for the entire crew when I say that we overjoyed to see you back and writing with us. I would also like to welcome Glen Brecat Jerane to our ranks. They take the position of Cardassian Defense Fleet Liaison. This is a position that I have wanted to fill for some time in the sim and I am glad to have them aboard.
With the addition of these two fine writers I have stopped actively recruiting for the Pioneer. We have a great crew at a great size. That said, if you know a writer who you think would be a good fit send them our way and we will have a talk with them. I know that writing with your friends can make things go a lot smoother.
