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: S04 Episode 02 The Hackers Backdoor (Incidentals)
Posted on 04 Aug 2026 @ 11:36pm by 1st Lieutenant S'earr & 2nd Lieutenant Elora Rykov
ON:
A small orange envelope rested on S'earr's desk. It had a faint smell of blood and ozone to it. Inside a video chip. On that chip a video caught at a very unorthodox angle that suggested the ventilation vent or somewhere similar. On it. ten minutes of rage inducing material.
S'earr picked up the chip and placed it on his desk top computer. "Play."
The hidden camera feed flickered with static for half a second before stabilizing, its grainy monochrome image casting the gymnasium in harsh shadows and cold Starfleet lighting. A timestamp pulsed in the upper corner while…

[ON]
The Marine offices were beginning to quiet as the day's administrative work gave way to the evening watch. Marines filtered through the corridor carrying PADDs, swapping jokes, or making their way toward the mess hall after another long day of drills and paperwork.
Second Lieutenant Elora Sirah Rykov rounded the corner with a steaming mug of coffee in one hand and a data PADD tucked beneath her arm. She'd spent most of the afternoon reviewing demolition readiness reports and personnel evaluations before finally deciding it was time to stop hiding behind paperwork and start meeting the Marines she'd now…

Mission: S04 Episode 02 The Hackers Backdoor (Incidentals)
Posted on 02 Aug 2026 @ 1:06pm by Ensign Taren Voss & 1st Lieutenant Gavin Ross Dr. & 2nd Lieutenant Elora Rykov
The quarters were unusually quiet.
For once, there were no duty rosters spread across the dining table, no after-shift reports demanding immediate attention, and no uniforms draped over the backs of chairs awaiting another early morning shift. Instead, the small living space aboard the U.S.S. Tomcat had been transformed into something far more personal.
A wedding planning.
Taren stood in the middle of the room, a PADD tucked beneath one arm while another hovered in front of him, displaying an ever-growing list of tasks. Beside it floated holographic floor plans of several venues aboard the ship, each one suitable for…

ON:
Leland finished his shift. He made sure to time it with a Master Chief Petty Officer Harrison Madrie. There was a few notes on Officer Madrie that had popped up from the USS Tomcat’s auxiliary maintenance bay reports. He didn’t like them. Despite Leland issuing a few maintenance warnings to the Flight Officer’s, he wanted to check in himself.
The last thing he wanted to do was to give someone hell for working on improvements, refinements to the shuttles, fighters and the like. Leland heard himself in the man when he had read the report. Mandrie was 31 years…

On:
Maggie and Todd were having a date night. Maggie was a bit nervous; they needed to talk about things and she hated that. She just wanted to float through her life with the only worries being what color lipstick to wear next.
But here they were.
She was late; she had stayed late at the hangars, making sure the pilots for Beta Shift were prepped. So she quickly took a sonic shower, and then got dressed while Todd did...whatever it was he did.
Finally, she was ready to go.
"The lounge or mess hall??" She asked.
"The lounge." Todd…

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…

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…
