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 Commodore Jasmine Somers 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 09 Nov 2026 @ 2:53pm by Lieutenant JG Kah’lyn Chiara & Ensign Tevik
Having found a spot from where to look out on the stars, one romantic moment had lead to another and now Kah’lyn lay quite contentedly by Tevik’s side. Clothes were thrown everywhere and their bedsheet was a tangled mess.
Kah’lyn smiled as she brushed a stray strand of hair away from her face. “I think that was well worth the wait.” She grinned then gave Tevik a kiss.
Tevik returned the kiss. His eyes on Kah'lyn. " I must agree with your statement. That was most definitely worth the wait." He brought his arms up to encircle and hold her…

Kah’lyn had been waiting patiently aboard Starbase 51 for the return of the Tomcat her last assignment had been close by. She wasn’t sure where she’d end up but it finally seemed she was going to be assigned to a ship full time. She decided to go get a bite to eat she headed for the nearest place to get something.
Having just arrived at Starbase 51, Tevik was hungry and he decided to get something to eat. Looking at the station's directory of eating establishments his eyes settled on one not too far from his present location. It…

As Alex could not be at Arlington on Earth, she replicated the area where Annie was buried; she stood there with some holographic flowers, placed them at the grave and stepped back.
"Well, Annie, I finally made it. I am now commanding a ship full-time, and I had to change branches to do so, but ironically I found out that I did not really need to change. *sighs* Finally, I have balance in my life: two beautiful children; my daughter is a mini version of me, and the boy is the image of…

Karyn stood up "Okay, Ensign, let's give you that intro tour. Your kitbag will be okay here; just remember to pick it up after we have finished," she said, heading out of the office as the doors whooshed open. She remained in the doorway, keeping them open, allowing the Ensign to follow.
As the pair left the office, Karyn led them into the nearest lift. When both were in and the doors closed, "Holodeck Prime," she said, and the lift began to move.
"We have two extremely large holodecks: Prime and Holodeck One; all other holodecks are standard size.…

Ross tugged at his cuff one more time as the turbolift doors opened onto the upper promenade... The suit was quiet on purpose... deep charcoal... nothing flashy... just clean lines and a little bit of shine if the light hit it right... The watch on his wrist was the expensive kind that only other people who owned one would ever notice... thin gold... understated... Matching shoes finished it off... He looked the part... mostly... and still felt like he was pretending a little...
He glanced over at Thex and whatever smart thing he had planned to say just sort…

Dodd had officially been informed that Jasmine Somers was transitioning to command of Starbase 51. However, a relative of hers was taking command as the new CO. Next he was officially informed that he as being moved back to his old title of Chief Engineer and downgraded to the 2XO. Sort of relieved by this news and so he was not disappointed in the slightest. He as happy to be more in his element than at the side of the CO.
This now meant his 'Li'l Bro' would be upgraded to XO. Again, he was happy for Leland. He…

I finally got myself settled into quarters it seems so odd to be alone again, but this is how it is now.
As much as I hate doing it I’ve finished filling in the paperwork to start the divorce process. There’s little point in waiting to see if Leland wants me, he would have called already. I’m sitting here with my finger hovering over the button wishing I didn’t have to submit this, but hanging on will get me nowhere.
Alright that’s it…process started, soon I’ll be Lilliana Vali again. I just wish I knew where it all went wrong.…

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.
“I’ve been putting this off but…
