USS Seoul

Contain the Sky

A Federation colony in the Changxi System faces annihilation. With defenses offline and evacuation stalled, the USS Seoul is the only ship able to intervene. Can one ship hold the line long enough to save thousands?

Mission Description

The Federation colony on Changxi IV, located in the politically sensitive Changxi System near Deep Space 4, has suffered repeated Vaadwaur assaults since the collapse of the Underspace and the onset of the Blackout. Now, its orbital defenses have failed, and the colony is exposed.

Evacuation efforts are underway, but ground instability, delayed shuttle launches, and local leadership refusing to abandon vulnerable populations have caused critical delays. As a Vaadwaur strike force closes in, the situation becomes desperate.

The USS Seoul, a New Orleans-class vessel equipped for security operations, is the only starship within immediate range. Tasked with holding orbit and protecting transports until the final wave can escape, the Seoul must navigate tactical combat, resource limitations, and moral dilemmas that test the resolve of her crew.

This mission explores the emotional cost of command, the limits of endurance, and the harsh reality that survival may come at a price. Can the Seoul and her crew contain the sky long enough to make a difference?

The Weight of Readiness

USS Seoul: Contain the Sky

Log entry begins. There’s a rhythm to starship medicine—moments of calm wrapped around bursts of chaos. I’ve lived in both. But today… today feels different. There’s no calm this time. There are whispers—nothing official yet. Rumors filtering through the comms, quiet mentions in [...]

Flight Toward the Fire

USS Seoul: Contain the Sky

The Narendra-class station known as Deep Space 4 hung like a steel mushroom over the stormy gas swirls of Changxi III, pulsing with static as system-wide alerts flared across every deck. Subspace lanes were fraying, communications stuttered in and out, and the station—like the system around [...]

Shattered Silence

USS Seoul: Contain the Sky

[Begin Personal Log — Commander Adeola Johnson] You know the silence I’m talking about. The kind that comes before everything changes. That’s what filled DS4 just after 0300 this morning—one of those long, impossible silences that makes even the deck plating feel uncertain beneath your [...]
