Welcome to the USS Ithaca!
Four years have passed since the Borg invasion tore through the Federation and its allies. The Collective is gone, but the damage it left behind is still everywhere: burned worlds, broken fleets, overcrowded relief colonies, and families still waiting for answers that may never come.
Victory is the wrong word for what survived.
The galaxy has grown quieter since then, but not safer. The Typhon Pact has changed the balance of power almost overnight, binding old rivals into something Starfleet can no longer afford to ignore. Borders once treated as settled are being watched again. Diplomacy still matters more than weapons fire, but no one mistakes caution for peace.
Starfleet is trying to find its footing again.
Under President zh’Tarash’s renewed mandate, the Federation has begun turning back toward the work it was built for: exploration, diplomacy, relief, science, and contact with the unknown. Not because the danger has passed, but because fear cannot be allowed to decide what Starfleet becomes.
That is where our story begins.
The USS Ithaca is a Nova-class scout-science vessel assigned to Task Force 74 and operating in the Vesper March, a quiet but uncertain frontier south of Tholian space.
Our mandate is simple: help those in need, keep watch along the Tholian border, and above all else, return to the work Starfleet was built for. To explore strange new worlds. To seek out new civilisations. To boldly go where no one has gone before.
GM Note
Welcome to the USS Ithaca!
I hope you find our little story interesting.
As a small note, we are following the events that occur in the Star Trek novels, sometimes referred to as the 'Litverse'. Some things may be different to what you expect, but we have more information available via the sim and wiki pages.
Feel free to poke around the site.
I look forward to seeing you out there

Howdy adventurer!
Welcome to the USS Ithaca :)
I am still setting things up, mainly focused on the wiki, as it will contain a lot of lore information for the sim. I want to make it as useful as possible, so that's why it is my focus.
In the meantime, feel free to have a poke around the site or come join us on the Discord, we chat a fair bit there and are planning things out.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that the sim isn't dead and is in active development. Some of the changes aren't…
