In Earth's Norse mythology a Valkyrie was a symbol of fairness and honor; a bright shining example in the cold and dark of the north. She was a supernatural being that flew over land and sea searching and protecting those she cared for. A Valkyrie was charged with finding those warriors worthy to enter the halls of Valhalla.
Are you worthy?
Come, test your metal aboard the USS Valkyrie.
The year is 2400 and a new century has dawned. So much has happened in the last 25 years. The Dominion War ended, The USS Voyager returned from the Delta Quadrant, and the Romulan Empire opened up to the Federation. With the rebuilding of the fleet, the new technology brought back by Voyager, and the stabilization of the region a new age has dawned for the Federation.
The Borg are a fading threat, Romulan relations are still improving, the Cardassians are still causing trouble and full of bluster, and the Klingons are, well..., still Klingons. With Federation's return to its core mission of exploration, they are once again answering the call of the unknown. As Picard once said, “...the unknown is what brings us out here”.
One of the newest ships brought into service is the USS Valkyrie, a Vesta class starship equipped with state of the art technologies, including a Quantum Slipstream Drive (QSD). With a QSD at their disposal the unknown has opened up like never before.
About the Valkyrie...
- We operate in a Nemesis timeline. Meaning we do not follow the events set in motion by the Abrams Star Trek. In other words - Romulus is still intact. This means we operate with most of the technology from Picard but get to write our own path, unbound by the limits set forth in the Abrams movies (Kelvin timeline), DSC, PIC, PRO, LD, or SNW.
- We are an 18+, Nova platform simulation with a RPG rating of:

Mission: What was Lost is Found

[Pilot's Briefing Room – Shuttle bay]
Ryan had watched Chen come through the door and knew, almost immediately, how this was going to go.
It wasn't because Marcus lacked intelligence. The opposite, actually. The man was sharp--Strategic Operations didn't hand out billets to anyone who couldn't think five moves ahead. But thinking and doing were two different animals, and tonight was not going to be a thinking kind of night.
Stepping away from the table while Rogers pulled the Captain aside, Ryan stepped through the holographic settlement projection. He caught Marcus' eye with a gentle tilt of his head toward…

Earlier...
Baas looked to Edruj and Mallory, "O'Riley and Thomas were executed. It might be a long shot, but find me a way through that interference."
He then looked to Rogers & Kellerman, "You both are with me. Rogers, have a team meet us in the shuttle bay. We're going to the surface."
[Bridge}
After giving out the orders to his XO and second, he waited at the turbolift for the captain and others.
"Yes, sir." Ryan was immediately on his feet and ready to follow his Captain. His heart was pounding more than usual, and he couldn't tell if…

Posted on Fri Apr 24th, 2026 @ 8:00am by Captain Daegan Baas & Lieutenant JG Jorra Benn & Lieutenant JG Rosaline Belikov
The news from the Valkyrie had sent the personnel at SB 152 scrambling. Survivors of a starship from over hundred years ago had been found beyond the edge of known space no less. If that wasn't fantastic enough it seemed that they were found living alongside the Romulans they had apparently been fighting with.
The Valkyrie had requested a ship with specialists in late 23rd century technology in order to restore what what had been already known along with those that could ease them into the 25th century.
Right now the USS Harper warped toward the Valkyrie's position.

Earlier....
Without any hesitation, Dareem lifted his disruptor and fired at the two Starfleet engineers kneeling only a few feet away. His expression was one of grim determination as the green beam of energy struck them.
[Council Chamber]
Sokah watched as the two screamed, glowed, and vanished into nothing. It had been over a century since he had seen anything vaporized, and he wasn't sure if he had been able to keep his shock from his face. They weren't actually supposed to kill anyone.
Darius was in pain. Not as much pain as he would if he were fully human;…

...Previously...
[Inside the Council Chamber]
Within half a second, Dareem had his disruptor unholstered and pointed at Liam.
"Do not move," the elder Romulan commanded, his eyes showing no hint of bluff.
Arim made the most of the opportunity, man-handling Liam with two meaty hands, pushing him to the center of the chamber.
Dareem motioned nonchalantly to Stevie with his disruptor. "That one as well."
Another young Romulan forced her to her feet, directing her to follow Liam.
Turning back to Sokah, Dareem whispered, "This is why we fight. The Federation is like a jeper snake--a soft and cloy creature…
