Description

With the Vaadwaur attack ended and turned back the Federation and its allies are left to pick up the pieces. Whether it’s lost ships, lost crew members, or simply a need to fix up the fish tank in the Captain’s ready room nearly every ship, and station in Starfleet need to regroup and recoup.

Write one story post that focuses on a character picking up the pieces of their life after the attack. Whether that means mourning those that they lost, or getting excited for the new opportunities that lay ahead. They could be a captain, or an ensign, any rank. They could even be the ship’s cook, wondering where they’ll get a new order of wasabi.
