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…

Mission: Chapter IX: Shady Business
Posted on Sat Sep 5th, 2026 @ 10:31pm by Uhlan Shizune Nakai Perez & Lieutenant Commander Mila Lynn & Lieutenant Seira t'Reiza

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…

Posted on Tue Sep 1st, 2026 @ 10:50pm by Sublieutenant Juno Langley

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…

Posted on Mon Aug 31st, 2026 @ 11:44pm by Subcommander Kaiae t'Lien & Sublieutenant Juno Langley & Captain Freya Mannerheim

As soon as Ourainavassa dropped out near Drozana, Freya had ordered the ship to hold position in transporter range. This time, there was not going to be any shore leave, or any shenigans. This was business, plain and simple. Once the ship was in position, Freya and Kaiae transported over to the Station to meet with Bulok, the Ferengi merchant that had contracted them.

It hadn't taken long to find Bulok's Antiques, a small store just off the main bazaar. Freya had decided to fully adopt the 'Raven' persona, and swapped her uniform jacket for Raven's old signature trench coat.…

Vareth stared at the dart board on the wall of what passed for the local tavern at the moment - a corner of the market area on the main floor of the Forum - or more accurately, glared, then stalked over and yanked her knife out it, where she had earlier pined a crude drawing of Brox, their investment broker at the Bank of Ferenginar. She shoved it back into concealment with more force than was necessary, then plucked the drawing of Brox off the board, crumpled it up, and threw it into the trash, turning on one heel and…

Posted on Mon Aug 31st, 2026 @ 5:21pm by Uhlan Shizune Nakai Perez & Lieutenant Commander Savin & Centurion Hatham tr'Krotash

Perez was glad to be back in space. Life on the colony for the past few months had been a nice change of pace, but between hauling construction materials, scouting out the surrounding area, and sparring with the militia, a routine had settled in far too soon. And while some people thrived in routine, Perez was the opposite. All the quiet had provided far too much time to think about things. Things like the past, the future, and identity. Who, really, was this person that called themselves Perez?

With a sigh, Perez took another the beer they'd been nursing for…
