Bravo Fleet
USS Melbourne (Archive)
An old dame with a long and storied career, some would say ships like Melbourne are long past their prime. But to her crew, hashed-together at the last minute though it may be, there's nowhere else they'd rather be.
USS Melbourne (Archive)
Task Force 47 • Managed by CDR Erin Walsh
Recently returned from the fire and ice over Andoria, USS Melbourne is an old and battered, but intact, workhorse. Still, it was believed that Nightfall was to be her last action- until Task Force 47, largely by necessity, called her to service again. What was initially a last-minute call to action will become a misfit but tight-knit crew on a vessel that, though old, is far from being put out to pasture just yet. Sometimes all you need is a tall ship and a star to steer her by.

Seats were being taken around the dining table, the meal still some time away, however. Hors d’oeuvres had been placed strategically along the length of the table, carafes of water and bottles of wine in clusters so all could easily help themselves. Not enough to ruin appetites, but to [...]

One had to stop and adore the rustic charm Bajor had to offer, even if from behind rose-colored glasses. Maze loved the fresh air of the Bajoran countryside that was the Tozhat Province, but did it have to be so bright?! Years of acclamation to internal ship lighting (Or lack thereof) always made [...]
