Welcome to the USS Tomcat NCC 62114 Akira Class Sub-type
We died like Rifles with our Faces to the Fire
SEE SITE WIKI FOR AWARDS
The origins of the 95th Rifles Regiment was the 1800s AD before the Napoleonic Wars of that time, they were the first Regiment to sport Green Uniforms and thus became known as the Green Jackets. Back then they used the Baker Rifle and as time went on they were merged with other regiments the name 95th was all but relegated to the history books and their Regimental Colours and standards were cased the 95th Rifles were also the only known 19th Century British Regiment to use the White Cord rating. Around 2388 a then Commander had an idea, shortly after she transferred to SFMC and upon making Colonel she re-christened the 95th Rifle Regiment, while currently not as big as its forebearer the revitalized 95th is building to Regimental level, currently, they are known just as the 95th Rifles, all the marines on the USS Tomcat are 95th Rifles, but as they are Captain Somers project they will leave the ship when she does.
The USS Tomcat is an Akira Class ship, with a slight difference, while its armaments and defences remain standard to some extent its evacuation capacity has been lowered to account for the extra fighter squadrons and Marines. The ship is commanded by an EX-Marine former Colonel turned Fleet Officer Fleet Captain Jasmine Somers, her missions are different from other standard missions due to the load-out and set-up of her crew and equipment.
So come join the Tomcat Crew as they head out to the less explored regions of Federation Space in an attempt to stop the Hostile and Rogue Intelligence Agencies and other undesirables on the fringes of known space.
THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES..........

Posted on 26 Oct 2025 @ 9:57pm by Captain Jasmine Somers FCapt in Sim Announcement
Greetings All
In every sim Commander's time, we see a large turnover of personnel, who join and leave for their own reasons and those who have to be removed for other reasons.
But for those who manage to stick it out for a long period, starting at a six-month tour of duty, which is essentially a probationary period then every 1 year, 5 years and 10 years ending with a Long Sevice medal for more than 10 years of service, the last award "Long Service Award" is awarded to the individual(s) on their 11th year.

Over the 15 years, the Tomcat has been in operation, I have had the minimum amount to be classed as Operational, but that was back in the days when the Tomcat sim was an Independent one, and I had a huge turnover in personnel, some wanted to see what it was like others for different reasons, but they never stayed that long and over time as I gained more players I instigated the "Orientation Posts" this allowed me to assess the new player and for them to assess the sim, this came about as I had a lot of…

Mission: S04 Episode 02 The Hackers Backdoor (Incidentals)
Posted on 01 Aug 2026 @ 7:59pm by 1st Lieutenant S'earr
[ON]
The doors to the Marine Corps Quartermaster's Office slid open with their familiar hydraulic hiss as First Lieutenant S'earr stepped through. Conversation within the spacious compartment faltered almost immediately, not from fear, but from the simple reality that a Caitian of his immense stature was impossible to ignore.
Standing seven feet six inches tall and built with the powerful physique of a natural apex predator, S'earr filled the doorway before ducking his head slightly to pass beneath it. The white fur marked by bold black stripes contrasted sharply against the dark Marine duty uniform stretched across a frame considerably…

Posted on 01 Aug 2026 @ 4:30pm by 1st Lieutenant S'earr & Major S'arila Donovan
[ON]
S'arila decided that she wanted to meet the new RCO. She had read up on him and was impressed, but a Predator species being cooped up on a starship would eventually make him stir-crazy; the holodeck would only ease that issue, so now here she was entering the empty RCO's office in the dark. She was not wearing her special glasses, so she saw things in muted whites and greys and a bit of red where the computer terminal was. She walked over, moved to a darker corner and waited.
It was a while, in the corner, standing still,…

ON:
The dinner plates slowly disappeared. Coffee mugs were replaced with more colorful drinks.
The lights in the recreation lounge dimmed another shade as someone from Operations finally powered up the karaoke console. Immediately the opening chords of an old Federation jazz standard drifted through the speakers.
Candice practically bounced in her chair. She grinned at everyone around the table. "So..." Her eyes sparkled mischievously. "Who's first?"
Silence. Complete… Absolute… Silence.
Douglas looked around. "...Interesting. I mean the invitation was for Karaoke after all."
K'Rin folded her arms. "I see we've all suddenly become very shy."
"I’m not shy," Candice…

ON:
The buffet was attacked with all the tactical precision one might expect from Starfleet personnel who had survived a twelve-hour duty shift.
Which was to say...There was absolutely no precision whatsoever.
Candice had somehow managed to balance three different entrées, two desserts, and a bowl of soup on a single tray.
Douglas eyed it skeptically. "...Need a hand?"
"I've got it." Candince said, the tray wobbled in disagreement.
Douglas instinctively reached out instinct kicking in despite her attempt to ease his worry.
"I definitely don't have it." Candice corrected a moment later.
Harrison caught the edge before disaster could…

ON:
The training gym was unusually quiet for the evening shift.
Most of the company had already filtered out after the day's drills, leaving only the rhythmic hum of the environmental systems and the occasional metallic clank of unattended equipment settling back into place. Elora Sirah Rykov wiped the perspiration from her brow with a towel before stepping toward the free weights. Her recent promotion to Rifle Company Executive Officer had brought more paperwork than she cared for, and the gym had become one of the few places where her thoughts could finally slow.
Or so she thought.

"Computer, start Personal Log Stardate 239607.20," she said.
The computer beeped, ready.
"I knew this day was coming, but I never thought that it would come this soon, I know the only reason I got off lightly for my actions after being rescued was down to my trauma, but I did not come away unscathed, yes I suffered horribly, but my actions got a man killed at my hands and leniency or not there has to be a balancing of the books"

Personal Log – Supplemental
Lieutenant Commander Leland Hawksley
Newly assigned quarters, Deck 12
He sat alone at the desk in the half-lit room, the terminal’s soft blue interface the only real light. The new quarters where functional quiet—too quiet. No shared laughter from the other room, no half-finished conversations hanging in the air. Just the low hum of the computer and the steady presence of the dog at his feet. Leland took a slow breath and keyed the recorder.
“Computer, begin personal log entry. Voice only.”
His voice came out steadier than he felt.
“I’ve been putting this off but…

OOC: This takes place just before Dodd arrives on the Bridge during Departure but just after the briefing.
[ON]
Dodd had been back on the ship for a little while. They were departing for the shake-down of the newly refit Tomcat. Dodd missed being the chief engineer and yet he liked being the right hand of the amazing Captain Somers. He knew she would one day be departing the ship but he would learn as much as he can from her until that day.
He was getting back into the groove of his duties. He also had to get the…

Personal Log, Major Emily Janeway, Stardate 73962.4
The Tomcat’s hum is a cold pulse under my boots as I sit in my quarters, clutching the only scraps I’ve got left: a crossbody bag belt with an obsidian Friesian figurine, a data crystal locked to my bio-signature, and a red paper code for a core wipe. My Colt 1911, etched with a charging stallion, is caged in the armoury—Captain Somers’ orders, though my Winchester replica request with Hawksley keeps a flicker of hope alive. These are all I’ve scrounged since the rift tore me from 2405 to 2396, a far…

[ON]
Emja was working away while doing some updates to a transducer coupling in the lower airlock in freighter docking hub. Then out of the blue she heard a voice across the room.
It was Machado who she served with on the Tomcat. She glanced up and saw the Klingon from across the room and was sure she was seeing things. But she got back to work as the engineering staff on the starbase fluctuated in numbers and at the moment there were the fewest engineers on the station since she joined the crew.
So as she worked along and…
