These are the voyages of the starship Oakland. Her ongoing mission; to support Starfleet's Task Force 47 however needed, stay out of the line of fire, and quietly go where everyone has gone before. Or is it?
A veteran ship with a veteran captain, USS Oakland (NCC-75012) has led a mostly peaceful existence under Captain Oskar Maising, a man in the twilight of his career more than content with such a quiet posting. But once he’s paired with the young, hotheaded Commander Charlotte MacColgan as first officer, life on Oakland has turned a bit more chaotic.

False hope is deadlier than no hope. False hope makes you hasty, eager to jump onto a bandwagon that doesn’t exist. False hope says it gives you a platform to stand on, only to rip it out from under your feet and leave you free-falling. That being said… that escort breaking up felt so [...]
