In the year 2397, the U.S.S. Gladiator (NCC-79818), a Sovereign Class starship, is the home of a crew that is composed of the best and the brightest, but some have a darker history than others, so for them, this opportunity is their second chance.
This crew is composed of the best to which have shady backgrounds that can be found in the Fleet and Marine Corps. As a team, they are charged with protecting the Federation's interests on the border with Romulan space. With the destruction Hobus star the Romulan empire is in shambles conflicts are growing. Vying for power are Romulan factions, warlords, and other independent governments.
Join the crew of the USS Gladiator as they explore new areas of space and culture, struggle to maintain the balance of power, protect the interests of the federation, and discover themselves in the process.

Current Mission
With the internal struggles of the former Romulan Star Empire, following the destruction of their homeworlds and the ongoing civil war, the collapse of the Typhon Pact looks more and more likely. Without the steering influence of a strong and united Romulan Star Empire, the Breen Confederacy begins more aggressive actions against the Federation and Ferengi.
In addition, the Tzkenthi begin operating outside their borders and closer to Federation space. Ongoing skirmishes are reported on these fronts.

Posted on Tue Jan 7th, 2025 @ 4:27pm by Captain David Hawkins in Sim Announcement
Good morning, everyone,
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful end to 2024 and are starting 2025 on a positive note. (And if you're like me, still writing "2024" by mistake—don’t worry, you’re not alone!)
A new year means a fresh start, and with that comes the opportunity to elevate our writing and activity within the community. Here are a few goals and updates to help us kick off the year on the right foot:
- Crew Check-In: Please log into the site and confirm you're still interested in participating.
- Post Frequency: Let’s aim for one post every two weeks (14 days).
- JP Tag Responses: For joint posts, we encourage everyone to respond to tags within 2–3 days. (I’ll hold myself to the same standard!)
- Proactive Writing & Communication: Let’s work on being proactive in our writing and clear in our communication. This applies to me as well.
If you have any recommendations, concerns, or ideas, please share them. Additionally, I’ll be reviewing our current roster and positions to prepare for recruitment, which I plan to restart this weekend.
Whether you’re fully engaged or need to take a step back, know that this community will always have a place for you.
I’m excited to see what 2025 holds for our SIMing community. Let’s get those creative juices flowing and make this year a great one! Take care of yourselves and your loved ones.
God bless, and once again, Happy New Year!

Posted on Sat Dec 5th, 2020 @ 4:13am by Captain David Hawkins in General News
Crew of the Arcadia,
I'll make this short and sweet. As we transition from the Gladiator to the Arcadia, we have had some moving around go on, but that doesn't stop us from enjoying our writing and story telling. So without further or due, let me be the first to announce congratulations to our new Executive Officer, Lieutenant Commander Liala Ziyal aboard the ship. Take the time to congratulate him and welcome him aboard. JPs are highly recommended and more to come!
