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 Commodore Jasmine Somers 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.

Greetings
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…

Lilli was on her way back across from the Tomcat to her quarters on the Starbase, she’d forgotten to drop off some PaDDs she’d borrowed from Lamia so had been back to the ship to return them to the Counselling offices.
Remington was on his way back to the ship as he had to pack up his office and relocate his quarters so Hawksley could set up his space as the new XO of the Tomcat. He stopped to help someone who was looking for the right corridor to…

After Dodd and Hawksley left, Jasmine opened another file and updated it, then tapped her Commbadge.
=/\= Somers to McMahon, report to my Ready Room on the Tomcat =/\= she said.
Maria sat in her quarters reading an old-fashioned book she had found on the starbase about a young woman who gets bitten and is changed into a vampire. When she received the summons from the Captain. She replied, =/\= On my way, McMahon out.=/\=, placing the book on the table next to her and then rose, putting her jacket back on, and began checking her hair before heading…

[ON]
Alex had acquired her Starbase quarters; it had been a couple of days since her meeting with a pilot from the Tomcat. The poor guy did not know who she was, and she was fine with that. But now that she looked up Leland Hawksley and his location, she was sad to hear that his marriage had fallen through.
She dressed in some smart, classic-style trousers with five-inch stiletto heels; the trousers were made for such footwear. She was not wearing them for the sake of wearing them. She put on a pendant around her neck that was in…

Posted on 01 Nov 2026 @ 8:27pm by Lieutenant JG T'Mara Sty'Nak
T'Mara sat quietly at her station in the Science offices, near the Astrometrics lab. She was reading intently on her work PADD, running a few diagnostics on the language translation program that the Federation used to program the Universal Translators. She was also occasionally sipping some green tea. Even though it was later in the day, she didn't do much after hours, preferring the solitude of the labs. She DID like people, and her crew mates, but the noise could be a bit much for the Vulcan.
Thomas had been searching the personnel files to find someone who might know…

ON:
When you step onto the Akira-class flight bay, the first thing you feel is scale. It is not the quiet, carpeted diplomacy of a Galaxy-class ship. It is a warship’s flight center—built during an era when the Federation remembered the sound of Borg hull cutters.
The deck is positioned just beneath the dorsal weapons roll-bar, tying directly into the ship’s superstructure. The Flight bay is controlled by a space traffic control room known as "Flight Operations". This is located against the forward wall of the Flight bay, next to the turbolift exit.
The shuttles and fighters. You feel them—a…

Dodd had officially been informed that Jasmine Somers was transitioning to command of Starbase 51. However, a relative of hers was taking command as the new CO. Next he was officially informed that he as being moved back to his old title of Chief Engineer and downgraded to the 2XO. Sort of relieved by this news and so he was not disappointed in the slightest. He as happy to be more in his element than at the side of the CO.
This now meant his 'Li'l Bro' would be upgraded to XO. Again, he was happy for Leland. He…

I finally got myself settled into quarters it seems so odd to be alone again, but this is how it is now.
As much as I hate doing it I’ve finished filling in the paperwork to start the divorce process. There’s little point in waiting to see if Leland wants me, he would have called already. I’m sitting here with my finger hovering over the button wishing I didn’t have to submit this, but hanging on will get me nowhere.
Alright that’s it…process started, soon I’ll be Lilliana Vali again. I just wish I knew where it all went wrong.…

Posted on 03 Aug 2026 @ 6:57pm by Master Chief Petty Officer Alexi Michelle
Being back on SB51 has been anything but exciting, but what did I expect. I'd followed the leads I had, cracked the codes for command, and still somehow found myself back here in my base quarters. It's not exactly what I was expecting. At least Base command has not indicated that anything I had done led to a punishment, but being away from the Tomcat this long has me worried. I barely get updates from anyone still on board, and of course, I am not privy to intel that is sent to base command. The only good thing is that…

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…
