-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 Sat Sep 27th, 2025 @ 11:39am by Lieutenant JG Lwaxana Myles & Petty Officer 2nd Class Leah Rochester
Leah hummed gently to herself as she rounded the corner, a hand idlily stretched out, fingertips brushing the bulkhead as she made her way to the engineering team. She'd been onboard a couple of days now, and had decided it was time to try and broaden her horizons a little. If there was anything she'd learnt in the last couple of years working amongst a crew, it was that if you wanted to get anywhere, you had to get along with your closer colleagues. And Starfleet crews had something that she hadn't encountered in her time with the Earth police…

During the dinner Layal found herself seated near a couple of old friends from home who had made a special trip to Nupara for the dinner as well as some crew members from the engineering department she hadn't met before this evening. She should have been excited to catch up with her old school mates, but she kept finding herself distracted by the unexpected presence from earlier. Ezra.
He was seated on the far end of one of the tables. She'd stolen more than a few glances watching him talk to the others around him with ease, noticed his dogs…

Last Time on The Heart of Starfleet The Soul of Bajor Part I
“Well; from his reputation alone I suspect it is not the only thing he does in his retirement; but the quality is absolutely top notch.” Sarah grinned widely and relinquished the bottle of wine. “I had the privilege to attend a couple of lectures at the Academy that Admiral Picard did. Truly one of my personal heroes.”
"It will be a fun treat. Especially for the Bajorans," Sylil said jumping in. "I know many of them know of Admiral Picard. Let's get this passed around, so that…

Siadra noticed something about Jonathan during the meeting. He had the earmarks of not having much sleep. Her suspicion was confirmed when he had put a stim patch upon his neck.
Several hours later after having her run, Siadra rang the chime of Jonathan's quarters. Her foot tapping rather impatiently.
"He better answer" Siadra mumbled to herself.
Jonathan staggered to the door dressed in his pajamas, The door slid open and his hair was a complete mess and he looked like he had just went five rounds with death and got his butt kicked and dark bags under his eyes.…

"Some words carry more weight than others. You can feel them in your chest before your eyes even finish reading them."
Ezra sat alone at a corner table in the Sidebar Lounge, where it felt quieter than usual. It never seemed loud since here, though this was only the second time visiting as a patron. Tonight, there was just a trickle of people. A muted laugh from the bar, the hiss of a drink being poured. He sat at a table for two with a stange of lager that was conspicuously untouched. The head had long-since collapsed into a think…

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…
