“Is bzzt reading me? This is Capta- bzzt of the USS Herald. We are in need of assis- bzzt. It was supposed to be a rescue bzzt but we don’t even know what it is. Please, find us-”
✦ Captain ?̬̲͍̣͠͡?̡̺͕͍͜?̛͓̣͖͖̟͈̟ of the USS Herald ✦
Aboard the USS Spectator, there lies a talented and brilliant crew without glory. The ship has no notable achievements, no outstanding missions, and no infamous battles under their belt. In fact, the ship has only been in commission for about two months, with the only interesting part of their journey a quick stop at a space station. To Starfleet, the USS Spectator is just a newcomer to the game with little worth to stake on. In fact, it’s most well-known for being the castaway ship, where all the “useless” Starfleet officers are assigned to remain spectators within space. No one wants to be trapped there and most transfer out in just a few weeks to find greater opportunities.
However, when the USS Herald sends a distress signal and they happen to be the only ones around, it becomes a chance to prove themselves and their capabilities to Starfleet. A once-in-a-century opportunity to launch them into greatness and show the fleet what the USS Spectator can become. What starts off as a seemingly simple, yet worrying rescue mission for the loose team turns into a twisted journey where the only ones they may be able to trust are each other. With a new discovery in their hands that threatens to change everything they knew, the USS Spectator must choose whether to fight a growing darkness or resolve into the fold of history once again.
“What are you willing to give to the dark? What are you willing to hide from the light?”

Hello, everyone! For some of the people from the old forums, you might remember one of my first roleplays, a Star Trek one just like this. This time, I’ve made a more cohesive and set storyline for the roleplay and I’m excited to go through with it! However, take note that it might be a while before this starts, as I am still quite busy with school at the moment.
a quick tl;dr
Essentially, the idea is you play a role on the USS Spectator, a new and budding Starfleet ship that wants to make a name for itself and is made up of a bunch of “rejects,” whether your character was simply too eccentric or chaotic for their former ship, just happens to be the unlucky new recruit, or was assigned here as a last resort due to more… unseemly reasons. A recent distress signal seems like just the thing to get the crew into the good grades of Starfleet and earn some recognition, but there’s something much more sinister at work around the mission.
what to expect
This will most likely be a roleplay with heavy sci-fi (weird, right?) and mystery elements, alongside an emphasis on characterization and storyline. I wouldn’t expect to see too much battling, as I’m not sure how I would maneuver that, but I will still try and provide some action plotlines and scenes! Since there are mystery aspects, it is up to you all and your characters to decipher the clues I provide and interpret them however you wish. I’ll do my best to make the plot as flexible as possible and give you all room for mystery-solving and advancing relationships >:))
I’m offering a lot of creativity and room for this, so please don’t assume you have to know a lot about Star Trek to join! I am more than willing to create new things to accommodate your character and to provide further clarification and information on any and all questions >:D However, please note that there will be limited roles available, as the crew is rather small. Hope that clears everything up and just let me know if you have any questions or comments!
- Sign me up, Scotty!
- I’ll pass for now
