Jolan tru! Welcome on board the IRW Ourainavassa.
Welcome on board the I.R.W. Ourainavassa, a freelance ship affiliated with the Romulan Star Empire.
------------
The year is 2387, and the Romulus system is gone.
When Commander Areinnye of the I.R.W. Dominus hired the mercenary only known as Raven a year before the catastrophy, to acquire an old warbird and provide escort to a flotilla of refugee ships, nobody could have expected things to go this wrong.
A few months later, the plan had derailed entirely. The flotilla hasd been lost, captured by unknown attackers, with only a handful of crew escaping to tell the tale.
When Raven and her crew began to investigate the attacks, they repeatedly came upon one name - Vulture.
Between the Vulture, time-travelling Terrans, and the Tal'Shiar, Raven and her crew had their work cut out for them - yet, with the help of some old friends and unexpected allies, they succeeded.
Now, months after the loss of the homeworld, the crew of Ourainavassa and those they saved are rebuilding their lives on a desolate world, known only as Haven.
What will the future hold?
-----------
The I.R.W. Ourainavassa is a sim within 16th "Zodiac" Fleet. Our concept is rather unique - a mix of Romulan officers and Freelancers, crewing an advanced prototype Mogai-class warbird. We are a welcoming friendly and active community, and we accept players of any experience level.
We use Discord as the main means of communication among the crew, and joining our server is a requirement for any new recruits to the sim (the link may be found in the menu bar). Joining the discord of 16th Fleet is encouraged, but not required.
If you have any more questions, pop into our discord and get to know the motley crew of the I.R.W. Ourainavassa!

Jolan tru!
Well, haven't done one of these in a while, have I. But I think it's time to make these a more regular habit again. So here we are.
Quite a few things have happened in the sim lately, and let me just say, I am darn impressed by the writing and storytelling you all are doing. We dealt with finally coming face-to-face with Vulture, nearly got our ship blown up for the troubles, lost a few people, and it was all written beautifully. I especially loved our little excursion into what I like to call Star Trek: M*A*S*H…

Jolan tru, and Happy New Year, Crew.
Before I get into the news concerning the sim, current events in the real word deserve a few words. I know that we have some players here that live and work in or near Washington, D.C., and following the events of the last few days, I am sure you will all echo my wishes for their health and safety. I also wish to express my deepest respect and appreciation for those in the emergency services and working in healthcare for all they are doing, across the world, in these difficult times.
Moving on…

Merry Christmas, and Season's Greetings.
The final part of *Earning our Wings* has now been posted, and Chapter II has thus concluded.
Chapter III of our story will take a different structure. As of 238701.15, we are back at Drozana, from where we will be searching for the Vulture. You are free to write any and all stories you want to tell (if it has any bearing on the main plot, however, please clear it with me first), set between our return to Drozana and 238706.01 - when the next major episode of our story will take place.

Jolan tru, crew of the Raven's Claw.
I must say, I am proud of us. Over the past week, ten JPs have been posted, and there are quite a few being worked on at present. Considering that two months ago, we were discussing whether we would have to shut the sim down completely, this has been remarkable progress.
And this newfound momentum means that we will soon move on our story. With the Vulture looming over us, ghosts of the past reappearing for both Raven and Ash, and the questionable involvement of Starfleet Intelligence, what's next for our adventuring band…

Jolan tru, crew!
After several setbacks and some difficult times for our sim, we have finally made it to the end of Chapter I: Resurgam. We have now arrived at the infamous Drozana station, for some well-earned shore leave, as well as to join up with the crew of the Flotilla hospital ship - and to welcome some new and old members of the crew onto the Raven's Claw. Our time at Drozana will also be spent further seeking leads into the identity of the mysterious Vulture, and preparing for the mission to finally acquire the warbird IRW Ourainavassa. Good…

Posted on Sat Sep 26th, 2026 @ 9:40pm by Lieutenant Commander Savin & Centurion Hatham tr'Krotash & Uhlan Shizune Nakai Perez
Bright and early, Savin walked into the gym. He had always been an early riser and ever since his academy days he had utilised the gym before his first classes and later his shift. Today he had opted not to wear his uniform, instead he wore a loose fitting outfit of a shiny dark aubergine colour. The tunic was of equal colour and was held together at the waist by a sash. Most notably though, the counselor was barefoot, his sword stuffed through a secondary sash on his right side and the recently acquired dagger on his left side. As…

Posted on Fri Sep 25th, 2026 @ 5:00am by Lieutenant Commander Savin & Lieutenant Seira t'Reiza
Flying at warp could be, often, relatively boring: Other than the occasional adjustments, you were mostly depending on the course you had plotted and set beforehand, because if you were forced to fly fully manually at warp, something had gone very, very wrong.
The current trip had rather more of these adjustments, much more continually and significantly, than average though and from a flight ops perspective was not 'boring' in the slightest: Star charts of space in and around the neutral zone were incomplete at best and nonexistent at worst, which limited the ability to lean on the computer to…

Posted on Tue Sep 22nd, 2026 @ 9:29am by Captain Freya Mannerheim & Lieutenant Commander Mila Lynn & Major Ashley Rogers & Centurion Hatham tr'Krotash & Lieutenant Seira t'Reiza
It had taken Mila and Seira less than 24 hours to break through the encryption on the datachip provided by the Ferengi Merchant, Bulok. Once they had sent the unencrypted data to the Captain, she had then leveraged some contacts both in the Federation and in the shadier parts of the Galaxy to try and narrow down where their target had disappeared to.
"So." The Captain looked at the handful of officers sat around the table in her ready room. She had invited Mila and Seira, of course, as well as Hatham, in his position of head of security, and…

It felt rather odd to Seira to be wearing some of the clothes she'd bought on Cera aboard ship; and even odder to have to pin a set of lieutenant's insignia to them. It was easy enough to focus on duty - if you couldn't, you certainly didn't become a pilot - but off was another matter. She had debated the bar vs the gym, since either sounded better than trying to occupy herself in her quarters, finally settled on the bar, and absent Renee, simply reached over and helped herself to a bottle of wine and a glass before…

She had left the meeting, and her place of employment. Now in her quarters, Juno found herself preparing for her imminent voyage. She did not possess many garments, so opted to take all of them with her. Material possessions were also few in number. Juno’s small book collection found their way on top of her clothing. An onlooker would be forgiven for thinking Juno did not plan to return to her small, basic quarters. They were cheap, and relatively safe. A return was planned, but a long stay was not.
Her drawers now empty, Juno retrieved her hyperspanner. This was…
