Monthly Awards: January 2025

Petty Officer 1st Class Baris Demir
Quartermaster
USS Firebird

For “Thoughts In The Dark”

A great post about the struggles that one can have with their own identity and where they belong in Starfleet.


Best Post (Joint Post)

Capt. Michael Murphy & Lt. Cmdr. Steve Ryan & Lt. Kestra Ral
CO / XO / CSO
USS Montana

For “Checking In”

When the Montana shows up and asks too many questions, the mystery begins, and so does the intrigue.


Funniest Post

Cmdr. Dean House & Lt. Cmdr. Bonnie “Bon-Bon” Durnell
Second Officer / Computer Systems Specialist
USS Sunfire

For “Come On Join the Joyride”

A great back and forth, funny, but also heart-felt, and there is a great nostalgia when you add in WW2 planes.


Genesis

USS Firebird

For “Predators Aftermath”

The entire crew coming together to get the start of a mission off with a bang! Depth, intrigue, and off to the Gamma Quadrant, I can’t wait to see where it heads to!


MVP

Commander Jonathan Grayson
Executive Officer
USS Washington

It was almost a foregone conclusion that he would win something this month with his hands in nearly every Washington post. Great work, excellent overall plot, and strong character development for himself and everyone else because of him.
