Welcome to the USS Liberty!
Welcome to the USS Liberty, the Star Trek sim that has pushed creative boundaries since its first post all the way back on August 1, 2001 as Independence Fleet's original expansion role play.
The USS Liberty has been requisitioned into the Sentinel One Fleet of Starfleet Intelligence. Her missions are many and varied, not always 'by the book'.
Since the end of the Dominion War, there's been rumour after rumour that the Dominion are re-arming and re-building, gaining new allies to once again mount an assault of the Federation. The Liberty's duties are to investigate these and take whatever appropriate action is required.
The ship isn't Rogue, the officers and crew do have their orders, but they've been given a certain amount of latitude to ensure the mission is completed.
Join us in the fight to ensure the future of the Federation is ours, and not under the heel of the Dominion...

Finally the USS Liberty has gotten under way. Her mission to find, arrest if possible, destroy their base of operations when found.
It was on DS9 just one day before the conference with the Cardassian Government representatives when the incident took place. A bomb went off killing Admiral Hastings. This is the fourth bombing here on the station by this group. How they get past security, they could not answer, but the Liberty is the only ship available and equiped to take on the job. The bombings must be stopped!

Hi Team,
as the end of the month rapidly approaches and our time on the mighty Liberty draws to a close, we need to get a few things in order for everything to go smoothly.
- the Sunfire crew will start transferring over to the Liberty. If the position is open they will apply there, if not they'll apply as a 'Guest' with their current rank.
- we need to join the USS Sunfire, https://sunfire.idfleet.com/index.php/main/index
please apply under Civilian Services - Guest, and I'll assign your current rank. Copy and paste your bio over or if you wish to write…

Mission: New Horizons
Posted on Mon Jul 20th, 2026 @ 1:01pm by Lieutenant JG Dan Murphy
The Earl Grey in my cup is precisely 82 degrees Celsius, a temperature calibrated through a manual override of the replicator—a minor act of defiance against the ship’s standard, lukewarm safety protocols. Sitting in the corner of the mess hall, I feel the rhythmic pulse of the Liberty’s warp core vibrating through the deck plates. It reminds me of the cobblestone streets of nineteenth-century Dublin, though the company I kept back then was infinitely more predictable than the biological minefield of a modern starship crew. My bones ache with the phantom memories of centuries, every single one having been knit…

ON:
The doors to his quarters closed behind him with a quiet hiss, leaving Commander Rhys Arling Antaiko alone with the unfamiliar silence. For a moment, he simply stood there.
Not because he was uncertain. Rhys Antaiko had stepped onto enemy worlds, into diplomatic negotiations where a single wrong word could ignite conflict, and into situations where the odds of returning were measured in probabilities rather than guarantees. But this was different. This was home. Or at least, it would become home.
His eyes moved slowly across the room. The quarters were efficient, comfortable, and unmistakably Starfleet. A place designed…

[ Aux Medical Suite ]
Kell closes the file and looks up and out her door at another crew member that's come by. With all the open time, there hasn't been a specific schedule for incoming personnel but now she wished there was one anyway.
'Ah,' she thinks. 'A commander. That narrows down who it could be...'
Commander Rhys Arling Antaiko paused outside the open doorway, smoothing the front of his freshly pressed command uniform out of habit rather than necessity. The four solid pips on his collar caught the overhead lighting as he stepped inside with measured confidence.

[ Temp Medical, USS Liberty Dock ]
Kell hung her head, and gently pinched the bridge of her nose.
She watched the crew manifest she'd just been reviewing freeze and change to 'locked'... then the ping of yet another crew change, the manifest arriving for her review.
"AAAHHHHH!" She yelled, wondering just how soundproof these aux labs were since they had gutted several areas on the ship and relegated many of the day-to-day operations dockside. This refit was taking forever!
Bleeker peeked through her door and she knew it wasn't anywhere near as soundproof as she'd hoped, the knocking around…

Dan changed his mind about heading straight to the ship. Sensing that Ensign Vance could use a few more minutes to acclimate to the sheer scale of the starbase before reporting for duty, he gestured toward the wide, bustling thoroughfare of Starbase 84’s promenade.
"The tactical grid can wait twenty minutes," Dan said with a reassuring smile. "Let's take the scenic route. You can't truly understand a starbase—or the crew it supports—until you've walked the promenade."
Elena looked relieved, nodding enthusiastically as they stepped out of the quiet lounge and into the vibrant, echoing heart of the station.

Having returned to the Liberty after my shore leave, I needed to find out what was needed before we left port. Sitting down at my terminal, I found a message from Starfleet Command. It read:
To: Harry Stevens, Lieutenant JG
From: Starfleet Command
Subject: Reassignment
Greetings, Lieutenant
It has been noted that you have skills in Engineering and Security, and we feel that you are in the wrong department that suits your talents. Therefore, you are being reassigned as Chief Engineer of the USS Liberty.
Good luck

The hum of the *USS Liberty’s* warp core is a far cry from the damp, peat-scented air of a lecture hall at Trinity, yet there are nights when the ghosts of the twentieth century feel more tangible than the duranium bulkheads surrounding me. I spent centuries watching humanity stumble through its own adolescence—the wars, the revolutions, the slow, agonizing crawl toward the stars. I remember the smell of burnt rubber in the streets of Dublin and the taste of bad coffee while grading papers that were, frankly, abysmal. It was a simpler existence, in a way. I didn't have to…

Posted on Mon Jul 13th, 2026 @ 8:17am by Lieutenant JG Dan Murphy
This interminable wait for the *Liberty’s* primary buffer containment recalibration is eroding what remains of my sanity. Six days of staring at maintenance schematics and listening to the rhythmic, soul-crushing hum of a space station’s life support systems has left me agitated. I’ve catalogued every historical anomaly in the surrounding sector—a trivial pursuit, really—and I find myself pacing the bulkhead with the restlessness of a caged Targ. My bones ache with the phantom weight of a dozen healed fractures, a physical testament to a career spent doing things the "hard way," and my mind is currently occupied with a burgeoning,…

The hum of Starbase 84 is a monotonous, grating vibration that sits somewhere between a low-frequency hum and a death rattle. I’ve spent the better part of three weeks staring at the *USS Liberty’s* primary conduits while the dry-dock crews bumble about with plasma welders like they’re trying to perform open-heart surgery with a sledgehammer. It’s an exercise in monumental tedium. I’ve read the base’s entire technical database on warp core stabilization, memorized the tactical deployment schematics of four defunct Romulan cruiser classes, and successfully taught myself to play a passable game of Regency-era whist against a solitary, unresponsive computer…
