Welcome to the USS Albion!
Welcome to the USS Albion (NCC-3020), a Star Trek role play-by-post/email sim set in the TNG/DSN/VOY era. The Albion is a Galaxy-class starship with a mission of deep space exploration. We like to push the boundaries of our imaginations and delve into areas & ideas that haven't yet been traveled.
This game continues the simming tradition of Independence Fleet's historical USS Avalon. Please see the Sim tab for more information as the Albion is somewhat of an acquired taste.
Otherwise, we would love to have you Join our Adventure!

ON:
{Admiral Star’s Villa Perimeter – Cumulonimbus Five}
::The villa’s perimeter was a joke — lush gardens, open arches, zero defensible lines. Captain Emily Jones Janeway stood just outside the compound wall, green uniform blending into the twilight shadows, the faint metallic tang of phaser oil clinging to her gear. Bravo team was already in position — silent, watchful, phasers at low ready. The nebula overhead threw violet streaks across the sky, turning the whole scene into something almost romantic. Almost.::

Posted on Wed Jan 7th, 2026 @ 8:06pm by Commander Donald ‘Don’ Key
Personal Log — Don, Stardate: Erm, today.
Personal log. Don speaking. Still Don. Confirmed not a transporter duplicate, not a mirror universe evil goatee version, and not temporarily merged with a Vulcan, Talaxian, or anyone named Neelix. So frankly, a good day by Starfleet standards.
We beamed down to Cumulonimbus 5 today, which already sounds like a theme park that gets shut down after the third mysterious disappearance. The transporter did that familiar hum that always makes me think, Ah yes, the sound of my atoms being politely disagreed with. Chief says “Away team ready,” and I’m standing next to…

the Holodeck simulation, the Janeway family's farmhouse was next to an old horse barn. The barn recreated the sounds of horses and the agricultural landscape in the evening.
As Emily approached the farmstead on a lovely evening, she noticed two men walking towards her from a distance. These men were Peter Anderson, the eldest son of Mr. Lawrence Anderson, who had taken care of Emily's grandmother's equestrian equipment and farmhouse, and Mr. Lawrence Anderson, who had a long-standing relationship with Emily's grandmother's horses. They greeted Emily warmly with a "Howdy, Miss Emily Jones Janeway." She was standing by the gated…

» An empty house
Posted on Thu Jun 1st, 2023 @ 12:33pm by Captain Dick Sprague
Captain's log. With our forward phaser array mostly rebuilt, we're almost home. Yet I feel uneasy and I wonder why. Perhaps it's the emptiness of this vessel. Most of our trainee crew has been reassigned, along with the Hydra Gammatian recruits now at Star Fleet Academy. Indeed, Ensign Score is even conducting an infiltration mission on the USS Sunfire. And Albion feels like a house with all the children gone. No, more empty than even that. The death of Ensign King is like an open wound. It seems that I have left the noblest part of myself back there... on…
