-Robert Kennedy-
The year is 2397. 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 Wed Jun 11th, 2025 @ 9:14pm by Captain Marc Kidd & Commander Mariko Tao & Lieutenant Commander Corin Layal & Lieutenant Jonathan Corwin & Lieutenant Christopher Blake & Lieutenant Sarah Graesyn & Lieutenant Yvette Beauvoir & Lieutenant James Constantine & Lieutenant Siadra Molaur & Lieutenant Maya Canak & Lieutenant JG Lwaxana Myles & Lt JG Adalyn O'Rourke Ph.D. & Ensign Nala Rider & Captain Kiyoshi Shingoen
Marc could not make this decision on his own, he would not. In truth he knew that the decision was not his to make. In fact, it had already been made and Vamcet said he wanted to die. Then why couldn't Marc accept that. He could guess what Layal's advice would be and he took no comfort in that. Marc decided that this would have to be one of those times a Captain made a decision with the help of their crew and so he tapped his comm badge. "All senior staff report to the Conference Room. Kidd out."

More new people upon the Artemis, such an influx of new blood coming together came the voice of Aadru, the historian. You have a warden that has come to the ship now. Care to go see what he is like?
Siadra was in the middle of reading over an old journal of hers written during her studies at the academy, and taking notes from it.
Siadra are you ignoring me? Aadru being rather insistent.
Laying her pencil down upon her desk, Siadra gave a yawn and stretched. "I am not ignoring you, I just needed to jot down some items…

Posted on Fri May 9th, 2025 @ 8:17am by Lieutenant Commander Corin Layal & Lieutenant James Constantine
Pressing his hand just above his knee, James Constantine watched the door intently from his place in the uncomfortable chair. It was an old habit, from when he was still training as an Intelligence Officer. He'd realised as a young trainee that his leg would occasionally jig up and down when he was anxious. So he'd taken to resting his hand casually on his thigh, to keep his hand pressed close to the knee and keep it still. Years on and with countless covert operations under his belt, the tell had disappeared, but the habit hadn't.

A prison was quite unheard of on a ship, let alone a whole deck devoted to it. However, the Artemis was a unique ship in that respect, and in many other ways. It's overarching mission was to catch bad people and lock them up after a trial, if found guilty of course.
They had recently picked up their new prison warden, Captain Kiyoshi Shingoen. Odd in the sense that they were a marine and usually marines were not associated with prisons, or being in charge or running one. Mariko had also heard of their heritage, their home of Japan on…

The last plasma strike had rocked them a bit, but Chris had compensated and got them all back to the Artemis safely. As soon as he felt the Artemis tractor beam take hold and begin to guide the Leto down he glanced back toward Kaida. They needed to get her to sickbay. Whatever the orb, or tear, or whatever had done to her had to be checked out.
Chris turned off the engines and was about to stand from his seat when the alarms sounded. Not from the Leto, but from the Artemis Shuttle bay. He quickly sat back down…

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…
