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…

Posted on 11 Nov 2025 @ 5:19pm by Captain Jasmine Somers FCapt & Master Chief Petty Officer Lucy Armitage & Lieutenant Commander Leland Hawksley & Lieutenant Paul Winchester
[ON]
Paul sat in his office, completing some of the office work, including finishing reports for the hangar deck after the Tomcat's refit, and signing order forms for the new consignment of fighters. He thought to himself, oO This is getting too much As he struggled to grip the PADD with his left hand, he tapped his Commbadge and said,=/\= Winchester to Lieutenant Hawksley, please report to the DCAG's Office=/\=.
Hawksley had shown up outside the DCAG's office. Carrying along with him a specialised cybernetic, diagnostic, and repair kit. He sensed he knew what the issue could be with Winchester.…

Posted on 10 Nov 2025 @ 1:16am by Lieutenant JG Shoniara T’ghann Dex & 1st Lieutenant Gavin II ROSS II Doctor
[ON]
Dr. Gavin Ross II—or simply Gavin, as he preferred—was born of incredible chance, a perfect duplicate of the USS Tomcat’s esteemed Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Gavin Ross. The transporter accident that created him was daunting, yet Gavin adapted effortlessly.
Gavin carved out his niche in the ship's medical bay. He was identical to his "brother," with the same sharp jawline, distinctive eyes, and hands skilled enough to mend a ruptured artery or expertly hold a hypo spray. The original Dr. Ross was cool-headed and methodical, while Gavin burned quietly, hinting at something wilder beneath his replicated DNA.

Personal Log: Ensign Todd Hewitt, USS Tomcat
I keep tripping over my meditation rug, my nerves buzzing with excitement because Maggie LeFebvre—Lieutenant, fighter pilot, and such a dazzling helmsman—has agreed to spend station leave with me tonight! Even though I' m a century old, I' m still a kid by El Aurian standards, and humans like Maggie, with her heart- skipping smile, are a delightful mystery to me. We' re “going steady,” but I still feel a bit clueless about what that really means. For tonight, I' m aiming to impress her with a fun holodeck surprise: a Risian…

Having transported the Pilots to the holodeck while they were asleep, they were in their holodeck quarters, unaware of what was about to happen. Paul stood looking at the screen with the clock ready to start. He thought to himself, oO Well, here we go and see how they respond, Oo as he pressed the button to start the program.

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…

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…

-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.
