The stories depicted are fictional, but they portray situations that may be disturbing to some readers. Reader discretion is advised.
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 3 - The One Who Got Away
Posted on Wed Apr 29th, 2026 @ 9:11am by Captain Marc Kidd & Lieutenant Vincent 'Ghost' Zandrell & Lieutenant Siadra Molaur & Lieutenant Maya Canak & Lieutenant Ezra Van Wijnbergen & Cassandra Frost
Maya wore scrubs and a white medical coat, choosing to go to the starbase as a doctor and not a Starfleet officer in case she would need to look at the body there. However, she preferred to work in her own sickbay where she knew they wouldn't be interrupted. She wasn't looking forward to this, but then, no one liked dealing with the death of a child.
Now she waited for the others to join her.
The corridor leading to the morgue was much colder than the route he took to get there, but Ezra wasn't entirely certain the environmental…

Vincent stood in the turbolift as it traveled to the bridge. Along side him was Cassie James, his 8 year old daughter. She seemed nervous as the lift traveled. As if she was unsure it was appropriate. The last time she tried to make it onto a bridge, she was treated like a nuisance to the crew. Even the ones who were willing to speak to her and treated her nice. Cassie was 5 then. The little girl finally looked up to her father.
"Are you sure it's okay?" She asked softly in a hesitant tone.
"Yeah, Cass. I asked…

Mission: Episode 3 - The One Who Got Away
Posted on Thu Apr 23rd, 2026 @ 1:42pm by Lieutenant Siadra Molaur & Lt JG Fenora
Time had passed, and Siadra decided to take back the Japanese puzzle box from the other science officer before it was opened. She was feeling a bit uneasy in not having it in her possession.
She knew that it disappointed Lieutenant Arendsen for her taking it back, before finding out what was inside. Siadra was feeling uneasy of it not being back in her possession. Much seemed to happen in regards to that box.
Drawing in a breath, Siadra stared at it, there had to be away to get to that last hidden area. She did need to get it…

Yvette tapped her comm. "Lieutenant Saral, this in Lieutenant Beauvoir, please join me for a training exercise in the gym, in 5 minutes."
There was a brief moment of silence as Nia Saral processed the instruction...and tried to work out if there was any connotation to attach to it. "On my way," the reply sounded calm. Indeed, it didn't take the half-Cardassian long to arrive at the gym. She wore her uniform, with no visual clue that she had pulled it on so hurriedly that she had been doing the jacket up in the turbolift. Her long, black hair was…

Mission: Episode 3 - The One Who Got Away
Posted on Thu Apr 2nd, 2026 @ 5:21pm by Lieutenant Vincent 'Ghost' Zandrell & Ensign Freyja Harper
The swish of the door had it opening for Freyja and Nyx stepping back in after their morning run, a habit she'd gotten into when she first met the sable grey dog. It gave them a chance to bond and burn off some energy, at least for the dog. While the dog headed for a drink, she headed for the replicator for a quick breakfast. A bowl of raw food for Nyx, and mug of Java for her. Although after seeing the time, she quickly sat the bowl down for Nyx and jumped in the shower.
Uniform on, long black…

Posted on Wed May 21st, 2025 @ 5:35am by Ensign Nala Rider
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…
