'To all mankind -- may we never find space so vast, planets so cold, heart and mind so empty that we cannot fill them with love and warmth.'
Welcome aboard the SS Mary Rose, a pastiche of a ship hailing from an era bygone, past checkered and historically dubious. In all rights, she should have been moored in a museum, stripped of her warp core, drained of her chattels and propped onto a pole, a lifeless husk on display. Yet the SS Mary Rose has a tireless manner of slipping through the tight noose of fate.
This simulation is based on the dark side of Star Trek, people living on the very edges of the Federation. We are a simulation focusing on player involvement and quality writing, and the admin team makes a special effort to build an inclusive and welcoming community that appreciates diversity.
We are a multi award winning simm independent.

Hi All
As you all know our current mission is very much at the ending point.
Mission 18 - Shackles
Making a supply pick-up from a Fenris Rangers cache on a remote planet, the SS Mary Rose discovers a crashed Orion slaver ship on the surface. Alarmingly, it appears the survivors of the crash were an assortment of alien races abducted from various pre-warp worlds across the fringes of known space. These survivors have built a settlement for themselves out of the crashed ship, though with virtually no understanding of advanced technology or warp travel, they remain trapped on the…

Afternoon Everyone
I would like to introduce you to our new player Josh, who will be playing Terrence Rumm. They will be becoming our chief of the boat. In his own words, he is an experienced veteran who can keep an eye on the morale and welfare of the crew at large, support with training and onboarding of new crew members, and be a jack of all trades type who can provide a little expertise and enhance coordination between different departments.
I would like to ask while he settles in you offer lots of jp's and make him feel welcome…

Crew's Choice Award for Hysperia
Evelyn Reynolds
“The Oliver/Evelyn dynamic has shifted dramatically this mission, and I have to give kudos to Serahni for enabling and driving much of that. I'm excited to see where it leads! She deserves a lot of recognition for helping juggle a lot of little arcs this run around, and I'm personally grateful for the added creativity.”

Good evening Everyone
I would like to introduce you to our new player Emu, who will be playing Rormu Yazlin. They will be becoming our chief armoury officer. I would like to ask while he settles in you offer lots of jp's and make him feel welcome on Rosie. I am sure they would appreciate a prod on Discord to offer said joint posts before we get lost in space.

Mission: Shackles
Posted on Mon Jul 27th, 2026 @ 9:39pm by Ka'see 'Cassie' McAvoy (*) & Chief Helmsman Kalahaeia t'Leiya & Liha t'Ehhelih
Cassie looked at the straw in front of her and then at the Allhallowian giving the instructions on what she needed to do. They all had pale grey skin and irises that naturally glowed faintly in dim light and reminded her of ghosts, but everything about this place reminded her of her teenage years growing up in Scotland. The people were warm and interested in helping people make their effigies, but Cassie looked up at her shipmates and smiled. “What are you making?” She wondered quietly.
“A warbird,” Liha answered simply. She’d finally settled on that as the symbol that…

"Here we are," Burnie flashed a grin at his friends, Gunnar in particular. "I know what you'll want to see."
"You know him too well," T'Ango laughed, and tipped a brow up at her companion. "Just remember, we're on R&R here - no working."
Gunnar rolled his eyes, but smiled good-naturedly. "You just remember the same when he gets around to showing you the armory..." then nearly did a double take, spotting Beya as they entered.
"Is that what you meant by what he'd want to see?" T'Ango laughed, throwing a teasing smile at both him and the engineer. "Orion…

Jeassaho hated the heat of the shower but it was the easiest was to get the blood off of her. She had not wanted to kill the security officer but it had been impossible when the man had squeezed her neck harder and harder. The dagger and the way security chief had found the man over her had been easy to explain it it had left her covered in blood.
It should not bother her as her slate was no where near clean but the argument had started as the man had been discovered as a Imperial spy and there…

Mission: Cosmos
Posted on Fri Jun 26th, 2026 @ 11:15pm by Chief Engineer Michael Burnstein & Ensign Alicia Moor
The party had been in full swing for a while, and further proof of its success was written on the faces of the crewmen who were looking happy and a little tipsy from the drink that was flowing. Alicia sat on one of the couches, people watching over the bannister, looking at all the people coming and going on the final day of the exhibition.
She giggled as she spotted her former roommate from Arch, who seemed to be in a splendid mood for once, and that had probably plenty to do with the amounts of wine in her system…

Mission: Shackles
Posted on Fri Jun 26th, 2026 @ 10:29am by Nollel Livaam (*) & Chief Engineer Michael Burnstein
Nollel had been reluctant to leave the tavern, where they had ended up with Michael’s friends, but she had nearly forgotten that they had reservations on a ghost tour through the swamp. It had been something whimsical that she had thought he might have liked, as he had mentioned Earth ghost tours and how when his planets had gone out into the stars, they had taken the ghosts with them.
“They all seem nice, but you could have stayed, Cassie, or someone would have come with me?” She offered as they got outside and could talk without shouting at each…
