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 31 Jul 2026 @ 7:08am by 2nd Lieutenant Elora Rykov & Master Sergeant Candice Laramie
ON:
The training gym was unusually quiet for the evening shift.
Most of the company had already filtered out after the day's drills, leaving only the rhythmic hum of the environmental systems and the occasional metallic clank of unattended equipment settling back into place. Elora Sirah Rykov wiped the perspiration from her brow with a towel before stepping toward the free weights. Her recent promotion to Rifle Company Executive Officer had brought more paperwork than she cared for, and the gym had become one of the few places where her thoughts could finally slow.
Or so she thought.

ON:
The ship never truly slept. Even during Gamma Shift there was a heartbeat to her. The rhythmic pulse of warp engines. The distant hiss of environmental systems. Footsteps echoing through corridors. The soft murmur of conversations between crewmembers finally allowed to breathe after long duty shifts.
Tonight, however... Lieutenant JG Douglas McDougal had decided enough was enough.
He stood outside the recreation lounge holding a PADD against his chest while absentmindedly adjusting the long black hair that normally stayed tucked neatly beneath his duty cap. Off duty, he'd let it down, allowing it to frame the face he'd spent…

Posted on 29 Jul 2026 @ 11:14pm by Ensign Taren Voss & 1st Lieutenant Gavin Ross Dr.
[ON:]
Dr. Gavin Ross sat in his office just off the main sickbay aboard the USS Tomcat , the soft blue glow of the subspace comm screen lighting up his face. His sister, Ensign Hannah J. Ross, was on the other end and as usual the two of them had fallen into one of there classic family debates. This time it was over there brother Braydon’s recently completed article in the Starfleet Medical Journal on advanced synaptic maping techniques. Being from a whole family of distinguished doctors in Starfleet Medical meant these arguments never really stayed poliet for long.

[ON:]
Ross was in the Sickbay Morgue. He was having one of his cigarettes. It cut the stress for him. Thex also cut the stress for him.
He turned to the steel metal wall “coolers” for deceased bodies.
“God I don’t ever want to use this room…” He breathed outward, exhailing the smoke and waved it off as he then butted the addiction out in to the medical replicator. “Computer eviscerate.”
The replicator then swirled round its recycling particles back in to the make up of the bio matter storage.
“Computer. Music. ZZ Top. Sharp dressed man.” Ross then started…

[ON:]
The holodeck grid flickered out and suddenly we were standing in this beautiful national park upstate Washington. A bright blue lake sparkled right there between all these huge pine trees that were swaying in the wind, and way off you could see the big grey and white mountain peaks of the Cascades looking all majestic like they were watching over everything. Up ahead in a little clearing sat this cozy log cabin with wildflowers all around it, and smoke was already curling up from the chimney like it was waiting just for us.
Leland Hawksley walked on up the…

"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…

OOC: This takes place just before Dodd arrives on the Bridge during Departure but just after the briefing.
[ON]
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…

[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…
