-Robert Kennedy-
The year is 2399. 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 Mon Nov 17th, 2025 @ 6:02am by Captain Marc Kidd & Lieutenant Commander Corin Layal & Lieutenant Jonathan Corwin & Commodore S'vRock
The Courtroom Complex on Deck six of the USS Artemis was a state of the art facility. In fact it was the first and to date only area of its kind. The large sequence of rooms consisted of offices for courtroom personnel, holding areas for the accused, as well as conference areas for attorneys. But, the most technologically advanced area was the judges holo presence. There were simply too many cases to have a judge assigned to the ship. So, Commodore S'Vrock would adjudicate these cases from afar with the help of state of the art holograms.
At the moment…

He set his cup down and, almost absently, added, "You've got this way about you, Siadra... like you walk through the day noticing everything worth noticing. People like that"--he paused, searching for the right way to frame the thought--"they make the rest of us slow down and remember that small things still matter."
"I am glad that I can be of service. I have found that, each moment that a person shares with another, being a small part of their history, or they being of mine. It adds to life." Siadra…

Last Time On Arithmetic Of Souls Part II
"I studied law," he began simply, "and for a while I thought that's where I belonged."
He gestured to Constantine for the bottle. "It wasn't where I started. I attended the University of Yalnos on Betazed first. Studied xenopsychology and sociology. I liked learning how people worked, what made them break and what made them mend. Starfleet Academy seemed like the logical next step. I studied Federation Law and jurisprudence. I thought maybe law school might be interesting--but I knew I could never stand and speak in a courtroom. So I did…

The question had brushed against an old and familiar place inside of him. He let a breath out through his nose, shoulders easing with it.
"My parents are both Betazoids," Ezra offered, his voice sincere and forward. "Adoptive, obviously. I spent my formative years there. It's not like I could live in that house and not become used to listening past spoken words."
And Now The Continuation...
James just watched him for a long moment, his mind immediately going to what that must have been like...growing up as a non-telepath amongst telepaths.…

The Sidebar Lounge seethed like a beehive that had been smashed open. Uniforms and civvies alike pressed shoulder-to-shoulder, their voices tumbling over one another in different dialects and different tones. The air smelled of hops and sweet liquor, of perfume and warm linen. Ezra stood wedged against the bar, taller than most, but no less trapped in the press. He lifted a hand once, then again--as though he were a castaway attempting to signal a passing ship.
At last, the bartender--a wiry Bolian with rolled-up sleeves and bare arms shining with perspiration--met his eye. Ezra leaned in, pitched his order…

Nala huffed in frustration as she looked at her latest project: a replica of a Stegasaurous skull...with a HUGE piece missing!
"Personal Log, Stardate three six five point one, I've FINALLY gotten the Stegasaurous skull I ordered mostly finished...but there's a piece MISSING! I've searched my lab three times, checked ALL the pieces of the box it came in, and I am STILL short a piece!" Nala paused her rant to look around all the places one more time. As Nala moved passed one of the exam tables, a small noise made her look up. There, on one of the…

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…
