Welcome to Starbase Mojave!

tumblr_p26df2HP011rzu2xzo1_400.gifv

Near the blazing heart of the galaxy, sits the newly completed Starbase Mojave, a brand new Copernicus-class outpost sitting about as far from home as a starbase can get. Sitting at the doorsteps of the Gamma and Delta Quadrants, it’s the closest thing Starfleet has to a frontier town, looking out over two unknown territories.

On these far flung fringes of known space, space itself is an obstacle. Powerful gravitational anomalies fueled by the nearby core, strange impenetrable nebulas, and planets dotted with the ruins of civilizations long turned to dust.

Mojave serves as a mission hub for explorers, a consolate for diplomats, and a safe harbor for traders on this wild edge of space.

Mojave isn't situated on this distant perch by chance, though. It's location is strategic. Assigned to Mojave is the USS Achilles, a refit Protostar-class vessel built for speed and distance. Equipped with one of the only proto-warp drives in the fleet, Achilles extends Mojave's reach far beyond that of a simple outpost, giving it the ability to reach into the four quadrants of the galaxy. With such a wide reach, Mojave can serve as a both an exploratory vanguard and a rapid response force, responding to emergencies and charting new worlds outside the reach of any other post.

If the fringes of space and the call of the frontier appeal to you, saddle up at Starbase Mojave, where the frontier is endless and trouble is always just a days ride away.

Mission: Episode 1: A New Sheriff in Town
Posted on Fri Oct 30th, 2026 @ 11:59pm by Commander Vaelor Tane

The transport settled against Starbase Mojave's docking ring with a dull vibration that Vaelor felt through the deck beneath his boots. He glanced up from his PADD as the docking clamps engaged, giving the final details of his transfer orders another cursory look before closing the file.

Commander Vaelor Tane. First Officer, Starbase Mojave.

He'd held the rank for two years and served in much the same capacity at Starbase 214, but there was something rather appealing about the assignment. An enormous new installation on the frontier, an unfamiliar crew and enough unexplored territory beyond the station to keep Starfleet…

Mission: Episode 1: A New Sheriff in Town

Persephone had made a very good case for staying in bed, wedging herself into the warm spot Cassandra had just vacated and giving a long, slow blink. It was a masterclass in manipulation. Cassandra stood braiding her hair and wondering if she'd unintentionally nurtured a little negotiator.

“Nice try, Perse,” she said, scratching behind the cat’s ears and eliciting a satisfying trill. “But some of us have a gas giant to go visit.”

The feline looked unconvinced, but ultimately decided that enjoying the soft, warm hollow of the bed was more important than continuing to try to convince her misguided…

It was about zero nine hundred and Doctor Jacobs sat in his office going over a few recent patient records updating them after they had received treatment. As tedious a job as it was, it was it was necessary; it would be nice if he had a Medical Yeoman for such tasks. Having finished the updates he secured his terminal just before he heard a knock on the doorjamb. Looking up he smiled "Lieutenant Winslow nice to see you again....I hope your lower back isn't bothering you" he commented with some concern.

Returning his smile "Oh, no actually it's been…

The doors to the captain’s office parted with a soft hiss, opening into the main room of Starbase Mojave’s Operations center. Even with a few weeks of command under her belt, the station still felt fresh and exciting.

Ops was quiet but busy, with a handful of officers moved between consoles. On the central display, the stellar survey of their star system was progressing. A three-dimensional projection of the star system rotated slowly. There were several terrestrial planets, one with a prominent ring system, another a large water world, the debris field of what had once been a third world,…

::ON::

Kopec caught his reflection in a transparisteel viewport that looked out into the inky black. Frowning, he tugged on his beard, attempting to get it to sit right. No matter how many times I comb that cheek ... he grumbled, moving to brush imaginary lint off his uniform shoulder. The man took a deep breath. Held it. Breathed out. Steady as she goes, he reminded himself.

Mojave was huge. He'd taken time on the long voyage over to familiarise himself with the state-of-the-art Copernicus class of Starbase, but it had still been jarring when he arrived on-station. Kopec found…

She used a device beyond my understanding.

Im going to forward everything to Starfleet Intelligence.
