-Robert Kennedy-
The year is 2397. The Federation is a peaceful utopia where all cultures live in harmony for the betterment of each other, or is it. The Federation and by extension Starfleet would have you believe that there is little to no crime in the utopia that is the Federation. However, crime does indeed run rampant so a unit was created to keep these most vicious criminals under the rug and out of site. This unit known as the Starfleet Criminal Investigations Service (SFCIS) is tasked with pursuing offenders of all kinds and bringing them to justice. As well as making sure that the Federation's image is maintained
Rear Admiral Declan Ford, an old veteran of space by this point is given the command of the unit and brings in Captain Marc Kidd to command the ship. This ship, a Luna Class vessel aptly named the USS Artemis after the Goddess of the hunt will be used to hunt down enemies to justice wherever they may be.
This intrepid crew will stop at nothing to see justice done. While they accomplish this great feat they will learn about themselves and what their limits are. Exploration will build Starfleet, diplomacy will build the Federation, but justice will prevail when Artemis completes the hunt. This crew will have to prove that where there is justice there is hope. Can their tiny ripple become a giant wave? In short, their mission echoes their dedication plaque.
Marc and his crew will prove that leading by example is the best way to make friends. If you think you have what it takes to investigate the vicious crimes, and prosecute the offenders the join the Artemis as it takes up the hunt for justice.

» The Wheel Keeps on Turning - 2024 In Review
Posted on Wed Jan 8th, 2025 @ 1:25am by Captain Marc Kidd in General News
The band Journey said it best when they said that the wheel in the sky keeps on turning. One year ends and another one begins. I am amazed by the community we are building around the USS Artemis. Who knew that a crazy idea like what if law and order met Star Trek would take off like this. I can genuinely say that I count each and every one of you among my closest friends. Now I need to win some money somewhere so I can come visit you all. But that is another story.
I am constantly amazed by…

Posted on Fri Mar 31st, 2023 @ 3:39am by Captain Marc Kidd in General News
Well my friends that is the first mission in the bag as it were. A good crew came aboard and began to bond. It takes time for a crew to bond into a family and only time will tell if that can happen with our dysfunctional family. After all we come complete with a grumpy Aunt Miller. ;-)
Our ragtag group of scientists and investigators were tested by the Breen and we have come through that stronger than when we went in. Not only that but we assisted in saving a Federation station from being overrun by the Breen. I…

Well here we are and we made it through, 2022 comes to close. Another year over and a new one begins. As always lets hope that the next one is better than the last. As I look back at the last year I see a world coming out of the darkness that was quarantine. I see relationships born and reborn. I credit this community to helping us get through these doldrums. Your creative stories have always kept my mind looking to a better tomorrow.
As the year comes to close we look at the great things that we have all…

Mission: Episode 2 - The Sins of History
Posted on Sat Feb 1st, 2025 @ 2:56am by Lieutenant Commander Corin Layal & Lieutenant Christopher Blake
Chris looked down at the Padd in his hand and then back to the console next to the escape pod. Test mode, launch procedure initiate, Readout came back green, end test mode and reset. The pod passed the standard maintenance test, but Chris wasn't about to trust just some read outs. He clicked open the main hatch and placed the small blue sphere inside before closing the hatch once more.
"Computer, isolate Pod 5 from Internal Ship atmospheric systems." Chris said calmly as he watched the blue sphere closely for any change in color. If it change to red within…

Mission: Episode 2 - The Sins of History
Posted on Thu Jan 30th, 2025 @ 12:29am by Lieutenant Maya Canak
There was still a great deal to do before Maya felt that she had truly settled in. One that was on the top of her list was meeting with the senior staff. Between her shift in sickbay and projects she was working on, time seemed to get the better of her. She checked the sickbay rotation, saw that she had some time, and tapped her combadge. "Lieutenant Canak to Commander Benson. Do you have some time that I could speak with you?"
Faith raised an eyebrow a little, "Um...yeah, I suppose I do." Leaning back in her chair.
"Shall I…

Mission: Cold Cases
Posted on Mon Jan 20th, 2025 @ 10:09am by Lieutenant Commander Corin Layal
Winter was cold this year, not that Layal had much memory of last year’s winter. She was still too young to have a frame of reference to start remembering things like whether a winter was cold or mild. However, she did know that she was freezing as she huddled in the corner of the cave with the other children who were too small to be sent into the mines. When they weren’t moving the den mothers encouraged them to stay close for warmth.
That’s what they called the women who stayed back to watch over the children who were still…

Mission: Episode 2 - The Sins of History
Posted on Fri Jan 17th, 2025 @ 4:44pm by Captain Marc Kidd & Lieutenant Maya Canak & Lieutenant Commander Viessa Kenobi
With the medical analysis in hand, Maya and Viessa went to report to the captain, who was, fortunately, in his ready room. While they were pleased to have done a thorough examination, the results were likely to raise more questions than they answered.
Maya paused briefly at the door and then rang the chime.
Marc sighed heavily he had no idea how anyone did this job. It was more paperwork on top of paperwork. He had not read so many reports and he commanded a starship. This was indeed a task that he did not want to do but had…

At the urging of one of the voices in her mind, (it was Keema) Siadra hung up her lab coat, made an entry of her findings and headed towards the turbolift. Up she went towards where her quarters are at. The lift doors opened and Siadra stepped out, humming a little tune, a little bit sung by Fagin in Oliver. I'm reviewing, the situation Jomod singing in her mind. After all it was one of his favorite characters he had played in a production of that very musical.
Siadra was smiling as that scene played within her mind, watching as…

MD 001 0930Hrs.
Well I checked in with the security officer at the boarding portal and have had my gear beamed directly to my quarters. I've got my bed and bathroom set up and I'll unpack the rest of my gear later this evening.
I've taken my law gear with the exception of my briefcase to my office and have got that set up to my satisfaction.
When I told JAG HQ about my divorce and said that I wanted to get away as far as I could from her, I had no idea that this was what they had…
