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.
There year is 2401
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:
CURRENT MISSION:

Baas stepped out of his ready room, Sizia right behind him, looking at Jerome.
"Well Exec, are we ready to get back to it?"
Looking over as the two of them stepped onto the bridge, Hunt simply smiled. "Ready whenever you give the word, Sir."
Crossing the bridge his hand came down on Hobbes' shoulder as he passed. "Well before we head out let's see if Captain Zumara needs anything before we leave. Lt. Mallory, hail the Harper."
"Hailing the Harper." Jason repeated the order back as his fingers tapped away to establish the comm-channel link. "Channel open, we…

The mess with Rogers settled the Valkyrie was down a Security Chief as well as a handful of security personnel, l=that was already under staffed from their earlier losses; and they couldn't sit here and wait for replacements either. He hated to do it but he hailed the Harper to see what Captain Zumara could do for him.
After a short conversation, and reading her in on their other mission she leaned back... == Well that does change things doesn't it. Sound like you need the troops mor than I. Besides the folks below are really cracking down on things…

Having just finished with meeting with the ships new intelligence officer Daegan replicated an iced sweet tea and drank it down. He hadn't realized how thirsty he had been and after the empty glass down. The Valkyrie needed to get under way but still needed to brief the Captain of the Harper, stop by sickbay, but first he needed to stop by Engineering.
Leaving his ready room he waved the duty officer down as she rose. "As you were. I will be in Engineering."
"Understood sir."

Upon entering Engineering Baas looked about. It couldn't be easy for any of…

Now that things had calmed down and they could once again focus on their primary mission and own issues Bass was catching up on several reports and didn't like what he was had read. He had had his own experiences to address and this only added to it.
Letting out a breath he tapping his commbadge. "Baas to Bridge. Jerome could you join me in the Ready room."
"On my way." Leaving the next ranking officer in charge, he stood from the center seat. With everything that had taken place, it was recommended that he take a few…

The Intelligence Centre on Deck 9 was a round-the-clock department. Much like Engineering or Operations, it never slept or shut down.
Ryan Kellerman stood just inside his partitioned office in the main Intel Operations Room with a PADD in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other, watching his department as it made wholesale changes. The Valkyrie's Intelligence staffing levels were significantly higher than his previous assignment aboard the USS Resistance where both Security and Intel had been integrated.
But transfers always felt like this. It was like a tide going out and coming back in, except the…
