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..........

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: General Sim Postings
Posted on 19 Jul 2026 @ 1:08pm by 2nd Lieutenant Elora Rykov & Ensign Taren Voss
The quarters shared by Ensign Taren Voss and 2nd Lieutenant Elora Rykov looked as though a cargo container had exploded inside them.
Uniforms lay neatly folded across the sofa awaiting placement in storage compartments. Several unpacked crates occupied the floor. A collection of books sat stacked beside the coffee table. One of Taren's flowerpots had temporarily claimed a chair while he searched for the perfect place to relocate it.
The result was chaos, organized chaos, which was somehow worse.
Taren stood on a small step stool attempting to reach a storage compartment above eye level.

[ON]
The doors to the Marine Commanding Officer's office slid shut behind the departing staff officer, leaving 1st Lieutenant S'earr alone once more with the ever-growing collection of personnel reports scattered across his desk.
The towering Caitian leaned back slightly in his chair, golden eyes settling upon the newest notification that had arrived from the Captain's office.
Personnel Assignment Update.
His ears flicked once.
Opening the file, he immediately recognized the name. 2nd Lieutenant Elora Rykov. The official orders were brief.
By authority of Captain Jasmine Somers, Lieutenant Rykov was assigned as Executive Officer of the Ninety-Fifth Marine Expeditionary Unit…

Posted on 19 Jul 2026 @ 12:30pm by Lieutenant JG Lyra D'Tan & 1st Lieutenant S'earr
The Marine Commanding Officer's office aboard the Akira-class U.S.S. Tomcat was still missing the subtle signs that it belonged to someone.
No personal photographs. No trophies. No decorations.
Just the faint hum of the ship's environmental systems and the glow of holographic personnel files suspended above the desk.
For 1st Lieutenant S'earr, that was perfectly acceptable.
The towering Caitian sat behind the desk that looked noticeably smaller beneath his massive frame, golden eyes moving steadily across line after line of service records. A steaming mug of Caitian Tea sat forgotten nearby as he continued working his way through the personnel…

ON:
The recreation lounge had become a rare pocket of calm aboard the USS Tomcat. The usual sounds of tactical reports, engineering alerts, and flight deck operations had been replaced by laughter, music, and casual conversations among crew members taking a moment to enjoy life beyond their duties.
At one of the larger tables near the observation windows, three women from very different corners of Starfleet had gathered.
Ensign Sh’asi K’Meia M’Rori sat in the middle of the conversation, her striped white and black mane framing her excited expression as she tapped away on her padd.

ON:
The recreation lounge aboard the USS Tomcat was one of the few places where the constant rhythm of duty schedules, tactical briefings, and flight operations seemed to fade into the background. The lights were lowered slightly, music played softly from the sound system, and several off-duty officers had gathered to relax after another long day.
At one of the quieter tables near the viewport sat two Caitian women who, despite their differences, shared a connection that only their species could truly appreciate.
Ensign Sh’asi K’Meia M’Rori sat with a bright smile, her striped white and black mane falling around…

"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.

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…

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…
