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 Captain Jasmine Somers FCapt 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…

ON:
Lieutenant JG Douglas McDougal rubbed at his eyes as he trudged down the corridor of the USS Tomcat, the soft hum of the ship almost threatening to lull him to sleep where he walked. He had been on duty for nearly fourteen hours straight after volunteering—or, as he privately called it, “making the tactical error of being visible”—to cover Glenn’s brig shift.
The brig itself had been quiet. Too quiet. The two occupants currently residing in there had not said anything. Which was fine by Douglas. Less paperwork to file. He had taken the time to read the reports…

At the Communications station, the Ensign looked up, alarmed. "Captain Lieutenant Benson's comms has been directed away from us; we have effectively lost contact with her!" he said
"Ensign, keep working on attempting to make contact with Benson. Let me know your status in fifteen minutes." Dodd ordered the ensign at the communications station. "Everyone else, I want a way to get Benson back on the ship as soon as possible. Chief Armitage, could you please coordinate with the fighter…

[ON]
Dodd had been in the holodeck with Hawksley and when they were finished, he felt he needed to stop by and see someone who was not feeling the best.
So he headed to the quarters of the Kildare's.
He arrived at the door to activate the sensor so if anyone was inside, which he knew there was, would be notified. And now he waited for permission to enter.
Lamia had already sensed Remington’s arrival at her door, getting up to greet him at the door she was a little slow but after her surgery she needed to get some…

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…

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.

Dodd had been back on the ship for a little while. They were departing for the shake-down of the newly refit Tomcat. Dodd missed being the chief engineer and yet he liked being the right hand of the amazing Captain Somers. He knew she would one day be departing the ship but he would learn as much as he can from her until that day.
He was getting back into the groove of his duties. He also had to get the…

Personal Log, Major Emily Janeway, Stardate 73962.4
The Tomcat’s hum is a cold pulse under my boots as I sit in my quarters, clutching the only scraps I’ve got left: a crossbody bag belt with an obsidian Friesian figurine, a data crystal locked to my bio-signature, and a red paper code for a core wipe. My Colt 1911, etched with a charging stallion, is caged in the armoury—Captain Somers’ orders, though my Winchester replica request with Hawksley keeps a flicker of hope alive. These are all I’ve scrounged since the rift tore me from 2405 to 2396, a far…
