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 Wed Oct 7th, 2026 @ 3:50am by Centurion Nancy Gable & Lieutenant Commander Savin

After his solo instruction with Hatham, a barefooted and barely clad counselor made his way into the ship's medical facility. Since it was torn to strips, Savin carried the remainder of his tunic across his arm. He moved a little stiffly, knowing this was likely only to get worse as he hadn't enjoyed such a sparring session in quite some time.

Savin paused in the middle of the facility, his eyes scanning the room for the chief medical officer. "Doctor Gable?" He called out.

Responding to the call, Nancy stepped out of her office and took in the sight. When…

Posted on Mon Oct 5th, 2026 @ 11:30pm by Sublieutenant Juno Langley & Captain Freya Mannerheim

Finally, Drozana lay behind them, as Ourainavassa was hurtling through space, headed towards the last known location of the smugglers Bulok had hired and their ship, the FCV Mansa Musa. Reaching that location, deep in what once was the Neutral Zone, would take at least another 36 hours, during which time it was essential that the crew managed to somewhat narrow down their search area. After all, the smugglers had a considerable headstart. With Mila and Seira busy further dissecting the data recorder, and Hatham and Ash waiting for replies from their contacts in the underwold, there still was one…

As she arrived at the airlock, Mila couldn't help but wonder what exactly had happened when the Captain and Subcommander had gone to see Bulok, the Ferengi merchant who had hired them to recover some cargo. When she had encountered Kaiae on her way back to the bridge, the Subcommander had seemed highly irritated, even more than she usually was after having to deal with Ferengi. When asked how it had gone, Kaiae had simply told her to go to the airlock to receive a new arrival on board, and to get the guest quarters sorted out. As soon as…

Contact was important, Savin knew from years of experience in the medical field. Especially meeting crewmembers in their own environment in a setting they would feel safe. More importantly, Savin felt it necessary to try and connect to the crew of this ship, outside of a formal session. Though he had little hope ant if the crew would ever come talk to him without the explicit order to do so.

And, doing this round also gave him the opportunity to see the ship beyond an office, his quarters or the bridge. As he walked into computer control and searched for…

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…
