Welcome to the Starship Midway!
The year is 2268, and the final frontier is still very much a frontier.
The U.S.S. Midway NCC-1743, one of Starfleet’s newest Constitution-class starships, has been assigned to the Triangle, a volatile stretch of space where Federation, Klingon, and Romulan interests meet, and where independent worlds, traders, criminals, diplomats, spies, and opportunists all have their own ideas about what the future should look like.
The Midway operates out of the Triangle, a region where borders mean nothing, loyalties are negotiable, and a diplomatic incident can become a shooting war before Star Fleet Command has time to relay orders. Her mission, to protect Federation interests without turning the Triangle into occupied territory. Her crew must contend with Klingon and Romulan ambitions, navigate distrustful independent worlds while calling the Midway home. Out here, doing the right thing is never as simple as knowing what the right thing is.
Starship Midway is a collaborative Star Trek writing simulation inspired by the adventure, optimism, color, and occasional weirdness of Star Trek (1966-1969), combined with a living setting where decisions have consequences and yesterday’s minor character may become tomorrow’s ally or adversary. Our stories range from exploration and scientific mysteries to diplomacy, espionage, frontier crime, action, humor, horror, and the ordinary lives of the officers and crew between crises.
Most importantly, the Midway is about its characters. Her captain may give the orders, but doctors, engineers, scientists, security officers, enlisted crew, and nervous young ensigns all have a part to play. Friendships develop. People make mistakes. Careers change. Old decisions come back around. The universe remembers what happens.

Hi,
Just wanted to let you know that the Terms of Service Agreement for the jasoncollege24.com server has been updated with changes that go into effect on October 1st, 2023. This update applies to all domains, and subdomains that host RPG websites.
This update adds a new section regarding (what I hope are reasonable) RPG website activity policies that outline what happens to RPG websites that go completely idle for an extended amount of time. (eg dead games)
These changes are being added to help ensure that server resources, and webmaster maintenance time are conserved, by reserving them for active…
» Possible new support option
Posted on Sun Aug 20th, 2023 @ 1:58pm by Arianna D'Tal in General News
Hi,
To make support a little easier overall, I'm debating on adding a service status page. This page would allow users to see at a glance, what services may be down, and it should allow users to leave comments, and subscribe to service updates, among other things.
Such a page would be hosted outside of the jasoncollege24.com domain (so if the entire server goes down, the status page is still up). I'm still researching a bit, so more details are not yet available.
If this sounds like a support option you'd like to see, please react with a thumbs up…

Mission: Mission 6: Echoes of the Interphase
Posted on Thu Aug 20th, 2026 @ 4:08pm by Captain Tristan Faust & Ensign Tobias "Toby" Dienstag
The maw of the Interphase bathed the bridge of the Midway with blue light, drowning out the yellow alert signals. The ship’s chronometer read 0200 and the bridge was manned with a cadre of junior officers with a Lieutenant manning the Captain’s chair.
Ensign Dienstag was standing at the science console, leaning over the science scope. His brown eyes darted from point to point as sensor data from the ship fed directly into the simulation. The monitor readout was displaying the progress tracker of the latest simulation on the working theories being developed in coordination with the Sciences and Engineering…

Mission: Mission 6: Echoes of the Interphase
Posted on Mon Aug 17th, 2026 @ 8:11am by Lieutenant Michael Amato & Ensign Tobias "Toby" Dienstag
With the ship underway, life aboard the Midway was returning to normal, whatever that was. Dr. Amato was walking down the corridor towards his quarters after his first duty shift. Somehow he made it through. Although shore leave was short, it felt like it dragged on. Mike still wasn't sure how to process the family visits. Toby’s family was so warm, welcoming and happy to see Mike again. Mike's family… well he and Toby were an afterthought as always. He just kept playing the events over and over again in his head. He hadn't mentioned anything to Toby about it.…

Mission: Mission 6: Echoes of the Interphase
Posted on Sun Aug 16th, 2026 @ 3:33pm by Captain Tristan Faust & Lieutenant JG Peter Novak & Chief Petty Officer Meredith Corden
Meredith had to have hurried here from Darrod's in a minute or two with very little notice. Still, not a hair was out of place. There were no runs in her stockings. No wrinkles in her uniform. A yeoman was trained to be careful about such things, small as they might seen. She was one of the senior noncoms on the ship. Image mattered for morale. She pressed the chime.
The door opened and Meredith was greeted by Peter Novak. The young newly minted Lieutent Junior Grade gave a curt node before ushering Meredith inside.
The Captain was sitting behind…

Mission: Mission 6: Echoes of the Interphase
Posted on Thu Aug 6th, 2026 @ 11:16pm by Lieutenant Commander Darrod Hanous & Chief Petty Officer Meredith Corden
Meredith and Darrod both worked long, hard hours in their respective roles on the ship, sometimes well over what the official schedule would indicate. When they got some free time together, it was a little special. In the past, Meredith had always wanted to make it so. They were worth the effort to one another, of course, but it did make it even harder to spend time. They had been together for awhile now and Meredith had decided it was okay to just have nice, comfortable, relaxed time. So she was out of uniform, in simple, grey shorts and t-shirt,…

The last forty eight hours had been hectic. The whole crew of the Starship Midway had been recalled and given a strict deadline to get the Constitution Class Starship ready to depart immediately. Luckily most of the crew that had left for shoreline hadn't gone far, yet the few stragglers had finally returned to the vessel.

Lucy walked around the circular bridge, checking each console and holding a clipboard making final checks. Finally she stopped at the science station.
"Alright everyone. We have ten minutes until the Captain wants us out of here. Readiness reports, how are we doing…

Azrel Vox, Personal Log.
I just finished my shift and am now back in my quarters enjoying a good book with a coffee. But as usual, I am on my own. It's not an issue, but I feel I should start to consider finding someone to be with forever, as my grandmother calls them.
That said, I met someone new to the Midway today. His name is Jason, and he's our new navigator, so maybe we can focus more on our direction now. I am four years older than Jason, and also two ranks higher. I will have to look…

Computer, begin log.
I met with Ensign Carter Page today in the Port Nacelle, finalizing repairs after the battle. I learned we were in the Mirror Universe briefly. The USS Midway had attempted to save Clanfolk on the USS Defiant, but .. ultimately failed. I learned that Clan on the ship extends farther in Starfleet than it does in Clan Ezazzan. I was humbled today in my thoughts.
Carter also assisted me with understanding the fear or, perhaps, resentment I've seen in a few of my crew and peers lately. I have been informed that the Gorn Hegemony attacked the…

Computer, begin log.
My first assignment involved a replacement of a damaged Data Relay on Deck 17 today. I sent Johnson and Philips together to Deck 16 to finish off the extensive latter half of the to-do list assigned by Lieutenant Hanous. I was given time alone, but it was ... enlightening. I glimpsed similar attitudes to the ones Philips seems to inadvertently express toward me. Crew that shied away from me, both in fear and in a hurry to run away.
In my efforts to finalize my tasks, I had words with a Lieutenant Vox from the Bridge. After…

I met my team today. Crewman Johnson and Crewman Philips are a talkative, if reserved bunch of Engineering personnel. They know their stuff, get straight to work, and work well with me. I've, however, noted how Philips seems unsettled near me. I should investigate this in my off time. Perhaps consulting with Ensign Page, my peer in Damage Control, will reveal some fruits of this mystery.
