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: General Sim Postings
Posted on 11 Aug 2026 @ 12:47pm by Lieutenant Lamia ‘Mia’ Kildare & 1st Lieutenant S'earr
[ON]
The Akira-class U.S.S. Tomcat had been underway for three days, and 1st Lieutenant S'earr was still discovering new corners of the ship.
Not that he'd had much time to explore them.
Between reviewing Marine readiness reports, inspecting equipment inventories, meeting squad leaders, and familiarizing himself with the Tomcat's operational procedures, the newly assigned Marine Commanding Officer had kept himself occupied from the moment he'd stepped aboard.
Which was exactly how he preferred it.
The towering Caitian strode through the corridor, his white fur and black stripes immediately drawing attention from passing crew members. At seven feet, six inches tall,…

ON:
The corridors of the USS Tomcat seemed quieter than usual as Ensign Taren Voss made his way toward his quarters, though he suspected that had more to do with his own exhaustion than any actual change aboard the ship given the ordeal that he just had to contend with.
It had been one of those shifts that seemed determined to find new ways to test him. Reports, security checks, unexpected animal-based complications and more than enough problems demanding his attention had left him with little opportunity to breathe, let alone think. Now, with his shift finally behind him, the…

[ON]
Alex entered the transporter at the Academy and appeared outside her family's house. It was massive, with a few acres around it; she could not believe it had survived all this time, over the centuries. Steeling herself, she hefted her kitbag onto her shoulder. She was now back in regular uniform, but this time her shirt was red, and she wore Captain pips; she had the white band around the base of her shoulders and the crossbelt of the Rifles. She opened the gate and walked up the walkway. As she was about to open the door, it opened,…

[Cont- From Part 1]
Hawksley was blindsided. The kiss he experienced. The warmth. The sensation. His mind in the moment, all time had ceased.
What he was feeling, what he had been feeling all evaporated in an instant explosion to his brain.
The explosion overwhelmed his whole being. Cass. His best friend on the ship, female friend. What was a friend relationship, always on the verge of a feeling… Was playing out in truth and dare, consequences at this very second.
The brain freeze, the explosion in his head, neurons firing off on every cylinder. The pathways lighting up like…

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…

"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.

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…
