Welcome to the USS Hecate!
Praxis changed everything
With the signing of the Khitomer Accords, the United Federation of Planets and her greatest adversary, the Klingon Empire, found themselves in an uneasy peace.
In the two years since the signing of the Accords the Federation Council has tasked Starfleet Command with revamping the Beta Quadrant Exploration program. The USS Hecate, one of the first Excelsior Refit vessels in the fleet will embark on a five year exploration mission beyond the Klingon and Romulan Empires. Penetrating the furthest reaches of the Beta Quadrant, her name is destined to be drawn in the same breath as Excelsior, Enterprise and other storied ships of Starfleet’s history.
Take a look around. If you like what you see, fill out an application form. Should you not see a position you want on the manifest, please contact us.
On behalf of the staff and crew of the USS Hecate, welcome! Join us and discover the Federation’s Golden Age!

Crew!
It's a little early here, but I wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year.
I'd also like to thank you on making 2023 a very successful year for the Hecate.
This sim is an idea I'd been working on for a while before committing it to paper so to speak, and I'm gratified and humbled that you'd all contribute your considerable talents to getting her off the ground.
Here's to 2024 and another successful year for the Hecate!
LLAP,

Crew!
I'm grateful to be able to say that in Hecate's first official active month we netted ourselves two awards!
The first was the Bronze award for Unit of Distinction, and the second was the Task Group Award of Merit.
I can't say how delighted I am at this positive start to the sim, and that I'm sure that it's an upward trajectory for us from here!

Activating the door controls, Aberlour peered through the bubble-window of the airlock, impatiently waiting for the seals to engage and the atmospheres to equalise to the Main Computer's satisfaction. With a hiss, the doors opened, and he stepped back, brushing down his dirty uniform.
