'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 independent simm

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…

Posted on Fri Oct 13th, 2023 @ 1:24pm by Captain Rueben Gregnol in General News
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…

“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.”

Mission: Veils
Posted on Thu Sep 17th, 2026 @ 5:23am by Chief Engineer Michael Burnstein & Kaelan & Mykaia Kylo-Zahn
The conversation had continued after the toast, but when the doctor excused herself for a necessity break, an empty gap seemed to hang open, and so making a quick social calculation, T'Ango decided now was the time to push for singing as she sensed the proposal would have further stressed the tightly wound doctor. This way she might be drawn in, at least to watch the fun when she came back, or she'd have a chance to nope out without having to deal with Kaelan saying anything. Or, adding into the calculation her lover's normal reluctance to sing in public,…

Posted on Wed Sep 16th, 2026 @ 12:48pm by Captain Rueben Gregnol
Gregnol sighed and rubbed his eyes. It was late but he could not put the conversation off at all. He wanted to catch Jake but the man had been a ghost all day, which was to be expected with different shifts to manage the ship. It just made the conversation they needed to have difficult which meant he was pressing the door chime and hoping the man was awake still.
"Reub...Captain?" Jake was weary as he answered the door, pushing the sleep out of his own eyes.
“Sorry to wake you.” Gregnol said looking at the man and the way…

Posted on Wed Sep 16th, 2026 @ 12:48pm by Ka'see 'Cassie' McAvoy (*)
Cassie was not sure what she had done to deserve the baby sleeping on her chest but there she was. Jeassaho had left the baby with her as she needed to help an engineering issue and Leiddem and Jaxx were both busy. She was the only slightly telepathic crew member available as she was still healing up from the shoulder.
“So your name is Caliea huh?” Cassie said looking down at the sleeping baby and shook her head. She had once upon a time gave up her Starfleet commission to have a child but it had ended in her nearly…

Indigo leaned back in the chair finally feeling a little less on edge now that she had food in her. She was not one to eat large meals eating more frequently in small portions but she had to admit that it was nice to just sit there and talk.
“This was a good choice.” She said quietly looking around at how busy the place was now from the hour or so earlier when they had sat down to start talking. They had not really gotten further into the conversation about why all of a sudden Indigo was so on edge…

Posted on Sat Sep 5th, 2026 @ 8:19pm by Chief Engineer Michael Burnstein & Evelyn Reynolds
One untouched juice and a series of conveniently-provocative interrogations dressed up as idle chit-chat later, Evelyn was at a loss to know why she was even still there. In the quiet solitude of her own quarters, she had already chastised herself several times over escalating suspicion without adequate cause. It had become a pattern by now, it seemed far easier to convince herself of reasonable coincidence when there was no one physically present to remind her how quickly certainty could evaporate. And though she knew was she tender at the moment due to Starfleet's insistence on dragging out due process,…
