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…

Mission: General Sim Postings
Posted on 01 Nov 2025 @ 12:59am by Chief Warrant Officer Glenn Stone Mr & Master Sergeant Thomas Zang
I went with this JP to cover all possible topics. We will be on the marine decks looking at the Marines. The new boat chief for a walk-through.
ON:
Stome exited the turbo lift and walked out. Two marines walking by moved to one side, not getting in the way of the Chief. They gave the greeting of the day and waited for Stone to walk by before moving on their way.
As Stone walked, the deck was clean and in order, but Stone did not think it would be any different. The carpet was a different color, standard on…

ON:
Cassandra tried to focus on the reports. She had a discrepancy in the inventory list with the quartermaster, in regard to the updated service vests. There had been exactly enough provided for the Division, and they had been assigned directly to the service members and signed for by each member upon that afternoon's inspections. There shouldn't be a need for anyone to be putting in a request for anymore. All had been accounted for before the briefing. Now there was gear in excess when the quartermaster had done his inspections. The numbers were not adding up.
Cassandra sighed. It…

[ON]
Jasmine was in her Ready Room getting the "paperwork" ready. This was for switching Lieutenants Winchester and Donovan around in positions. Of late, Lieutenant Winchester had vastly improved; she had read reports on how well he was training some of her crew to be pilots, and she did not mind, as more crew who were combat flight qualified meant more replacements in a pinch. But now this was a different case, and she got the Padds ready for both officers who should soon be arriving. It had been some time since they had left the Starbase and had gotten…

[ON]
Having moved back to quarters onboard the Tomcat after being aboard Starbase 51 since the ship docked for upgrades, Lamia was busy making her home feel more homely. With only a month to go before the birth of their son, she was definitely feeling the nesting instinct, wanting everything to be just right.
The small bedside cot that would hold their son was positioned against the wall, with bagged up bedding lying inside it. Whilst alongside was a bag full of baby clothing ready for the big day. She’d already stored the rest of the clothing they’d brought away…

Allen was in the ships gym on the treadmill her hair was in a ponytail, as she was running she put two finger to her neck and looked at her time piece, then she nearly had an accident as someone approached her from behind, shaking a little she stopped the treadmill panting as she picked up her towel and looked at the new arrival as she took a sip of her water.
"Hello, so I know you, Ensign?" She begun.
The gym’s a hum of noise—treadmills whirring, weights clanking, air thick with the tang of sweat and filtered starship…

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…

[ON]
Emja was working away while doing some updates to a transducer coupling in the lower airlock in freighter docking hub. Then out of the blue she heard a voice across the room.
It was Machado who she served with on the Tomcat. She glanced up and saw the Klingon from across the room and was sure she was seeing things. But she got back to work as the engineering staff on the starbase fluctuated in numbers and at the moment there were the fewest engineers on the station since she joined the crew.
So as she worked along and…

Vivian was on a leave of absence since she had not had a chance to do any sort of rest or relaxation since joining the crew of the Tomcat. She also had some seminars that she was conducting some panel discussed for and some colleagues that she was hoping to catch up with at a few of them.
She caught her transport to Earth for the first of her seminars where she would attend sessions related to Bynar physiology and medical treatments. She had been told by Dodd that Bynars would involved in a project he was working on…

- Starbase 51- Main Science Division Office Hub -
Alexandra had arrived at the main hub on the starbase where all the offices and basic labs for the Sciences were located. She knew there were some other specialists in Anthropology and Archaeology on the station, but one of them was likely going to step down due to his age. She was set to be the head of the group now that she had been transferred to the station.
Nervousness accompanied her as she made her way to the office that would now be hers. She had already set up…

-Starbase 51-
-Dodd's secret lab-
Dodd was officially on a leave of absence from his duties as the Executive Officer of the Tomcat. He had permission to resume his personal project of creating a new type of environmental suit using nanite technology.
He was on Starbase 51 and so took the start of his leave by going to see Rocky in the Arboretum as he missed the overgrown planet with a conscience. Rocky sensed him almost immediately when Remy entered the room. A vine reached out and pick him up.
