Welcome to the USS Meridian!
The early years of the newly formed United Federation of Planets. The founding members, United Earth, Vulcan, Andor, Tellar, and Alpha Centauri lead the way for the new members: Confederated Martian Colonies, Alpha III, Vega IX, Denobula, Benzar, United Rigel Worlds and Colonies, Arken II, Orodanga and Bolarus IX who are finding their place and standing in the Federation.
The USS Meridian, a Columbia class starship, leads the way in exploration as Starfleet pushes out further among the stars to find new worlds and hopefully expand.
But all is not completely peaceful. The Klingon Empire has concerns of the Federation which they have already determined to be a major force and threat which continues to get stronger with each new world joining. There are also the threats of piracy as civilian ships continue to push out further for trade and science expeditions.
Come join the crew of the Meridian as we explore, practice diplomacy, take on old and new threats to the United Federation of Planets, including threats from within.

Mission: New Years on Denobula
Posted on Thu Apr 16th, 2026 @ 4:01pm by Captain Andre Hunt & Gunnery Sergeant Antonio Lopez
The USS Meridian had arrived in orbit of Denobula four hours ago. While the ship was picking up supplies to deliver to Vega IX, Hunt had authorized the crew to take a few days of shore leave. Before the Meridian arrived, Eli McEntyre had informed him that he would be stepping down as the Marine CO and would remain on Denobula until he could find transportation back to Earth. Andre was sad to see the man go but understood his reasons to be with family. Being in space for almost a year had taken its toll on him. The truth…

Captain Makeo had requested to speak with Commander Thomas Carey alone before returning back the Orion homeworld. The last five days since signing the trade agreement was different than any other experience throughout his command. Initially he intended on completing his task by any means necessary. But things went in a completely different direction, which felt odd, yet it felt was a good feeling. One that seemed to fulfill a greater purpose. When he gave his word before, the Orion meant it. But now he was more determined to see this work out.
Upon arriving to the Meridian, he had…

Captain Hunt walked the outer grounds of the Grid, alongside Governor Vorren. Over the last five days, the team of Starfleet Engineer, Medical and Science personnel had assisted and trained the L'Diran people on how to counter and heel the damage the Grid had been responsible for. The Grid had to be completely shutdown for three days, before it was ready to get up and running again. Two days later, it was running smoothly and the radiation issues had been resolved. The medical setup on the grounds had been taking in people by the thousands, and the sick were already…

Douglasdale landed the shuttle down on the surface in the area known as the Grid. Along with the doctor and science officer, accompanying them were two engineers and two medical personnel to assist with setting up the site. An alien shuttle landing not too far from a residential area was expected to draw attention. A few L'Dira had stepped outside their homes as they watched the shuttle land at the large facility in the distance. The doors, opened as the four enlisted stepped out and unloaded the equipment.
The Advisor Yoto Teef watched the Starfleet team unload the shuttle carrying…

After the agreement had been signed off at the Reach, Captain Hunt had returned back to the Meridian with Stoudemore and sh'Joven. The Diplomat from Trill had opted to stay on L'Dira to help move the trade process along as smooth as possible. The other away team was still on the surface assisting with the Grid. Whether he would return back planetside was still up in the air. But at this time, he needed to speak with Starfleet Command regarding the agreement. Sitting at his desk, Andre waited for the communication to come through.
