Welcome to the USS Pioneer

"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-
Captain Tyler Malbrooke and the crew of the USS Pioneer have spent the past two years risking life and limb for this peace. They have travelled through time and back again. They have fought and bled for the preservation of their home, Empok Nor. Ultimately, the Pioneer emerged victorious. The Obsidian Order has fallen and the New Maquis has all but disbanded. That is when the new threat to Starfleet arose.
An old enemy begins to rumble. For quite some time the thought was that, the Romulans were no longer a threat. Since the Hobus star exploded the Romulan, empire has been in shambles. However, now they work on something they call the artifact, now they want to talk and now they come to the Federation open handed and for peace. What has changed? That is what the Pioneer is tasked with finding out.
This intrepid crew will learn all they can about the oldest and deadliest of enemies. The Pioneer finds itself in a battle between duty and honor. Exploration built the Pioneer, and molded the crew. However, the Federation and Starfleet wish to become more isolated to pull in on itself. This crew will have to prove to everyone what it means to seek out new lives, and civilizations. 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 joins the rest of Task Group 47 at Starbase Sirius to achieve this goal. Sirius stands on the frontier of Romulan space. Can Tyler and the crew prove that there are more friends than foes out here or will Starfleet pull them and the rest of the fleet back to Earth? 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 its third season with the darkest stories we have told to date.
Join Captain Malbrooke as he continues the legacy of the Intrepid Class of ships.

Before I say anything else I need to say Bravo! and Thank you, a million times thank you!
This mission not only saw an abundance of character development, but we set a personal record for most posts in a month during this mission. We topped out at over 300 posts for the month of September and that is saying something. Wrapped up in all of those posts is a lot of plot. We learned so much about this group of people who call themselves Pioneers.
We also saw the crew come to terms with a more isolationist Federation and Starfleet. A relocation and new mission directive. A new enemy has revealed himself, and he is close to one of our own.
Our stories into the Romulan Empire now begin. We will meet a new race of beings known as the Jutrai. However, first we will have to save a member of our family. As Vaebn's sister Lyie is kidnapped from Earth and brought home to what is left of the Romulan Empire. Can the Pioneer get there in time or will Lyie return to the fold of her people. All that an more in Mission 11 - Family Matters.
I am as always humbled by your writing and your friendship. Without every single one of you this sim would not be possible.
So that is enough of that... Suffice to say you all rock, and I am humbled to write in your presence.
So without any gilding the lily and no further ado I give you the one, the only, awards... taps mic
To start things off we have a few promotions. These are earned through hard work and I am proud to hand out the extra pips when warranted.

Typically on the Pioneer we would wait until a mission closes before announcing promotions or awards. However, with all that is going on in the world right now I feel that a little happiness is warranted. Besides the ship is on Shore Leave at the moment so let's have a celebration. As we enter the dog days of summer, the stories heat up.
So without any gilding the lily and no further ado I give you a very special announcement.

-Captain Tyler Malbrooke-
Keep up the great work Lieutenant. I look forward to smooth sailing and some great stories.
