My Favorite Trek: Malcom Llwyedd

Posted on September 17, 2025 | by Rook Mirtoh | 3 Comments

Character Name: Malcom Llwyedd

Rank: Captain

Sim: USS Firebird

Position: Commanding Officer

Plus…
Petty Officer First Class Kipp Lak, Petty Officer Second Class Keith Potter, Petty Officer First Class Fhiri, and Ensign Gazo Daw

Which one is your favorite?
Malcom has been my favorite, and not just because he’s the Captain. He is a veteran of the Dominion War and has a lot of challenges. However, he always tries to do the best for the crew, and that balance between flaws and compassion is always compelling.

Favorite Star Trek episode?
“In the Pale Moonlight” (Deep Space Nine: Season 6, Episode 19)

Why?
It strips away all of the shiny parts and shows how, in war, people make hard choices that haunt them forever.

Favorite Star Trek series?
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Why?
I loved the format, the non-traditional setting, and the variety of characters, including non-Federation ones. It was the first series I watched all the way through from beginning to end.

Favorite Star Trek film?
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

Why?
It was my first Trek I saw in the theater and it was such a powerhouse. It really ignited my love for Star Trek.

Favorite Star Trek Captain?
Captain Sisko: He was the anti-Picard in a lot of ways. He was stern, physical, funny but in a sly way, and cerebral. But a big part of it was that his role as a father was at the forefront of so much of the show. That was really important to me and made him more of a person.

What year did you start simming?
2017

What sim was it?
USS Fearless

What keeps you simming today?
I love telling stories in the Star Trek setting. I approach sim writing as collaborative novel/episode writing. My goal is to put together the best “show” of the highest quality. I also just love writing with my crew. They are so talented and creative. It never gets old when you write a post and sit back and go, wow, that is so good.

Favorite non-simming hobby?
I run multiple role playing games. Been a GM for 25 years (mostly Forgotten Realms D&D but also Star Trek, Star Wars, Firefly, Twilight 2000, and many more).

Favorite non-Trek series?
Ted Lasso

Favorite non-Trek film?
The Princess Bride

Favorite author?
Bernard Cornwell

Favorite book (fiction or non)?
The Lord of the Rings

Favorite video game?
Baldur’s Gate 3

Favorite musician or band?
Pearl Jam

Favorite superhero?
Iron Man

Favorite sport?
English Football

Favorite food?
Made at home, spaghetti. At a restaurant, steak.

Coke or Pepsi?
Coke

Star Trek or Star Wars?
Star Trek

Rank the Trek TV shows from best to worst.
Deep Space Nine
The Next Generation
Strange New Worlds
TOS
Voyager
Picard
Enterprise
Discovery

Rank the Trek movies from best to worst.
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

The bridge of a futuristic starship, designed with a circular seating arrangement. In the center, a large, command chair is surrounded by four other seats, all with ergonomic, cream-colored upholstery. The curved ceiling has a series of geometric panels with ambient lighting. Behind the seats, large control consoles with touch-screen interfaces are mounted on the walls. Two doorways and an elevator are visible on either side of the bridge.

The Most Important 24th Anniversary in the Universe

Posted on July 4, 2025 | by Charles Star | 7 Comments

Happy 24th Anniversary, Independence Fleet! These anniversaries seem to be happening quicker and quicker these days! Continuing a tradition we began a few years ago, we again have a video message from a very special guest:

As some of you are already aware, we recently acquired a prop used on Star Trek V: The Final Frontier during the shuttle crash landing scene:

See it on the right side of the screen next to the stacked barrels? Yes, that’s it!

Turns out, it’s a miniature of a highly prolific movie prop. Dubbed the “most important device in the universe” by some, it’s been used in more than 200 movies and television shows. Ex Astris Scientia notes that this full sized version appears in two Star Trek movies and six episodes, and refers to it as “blinking tubes” here.

This guy even created his own working copy of the thing. This full-size device belonged to Modern Props, which unfortunately closed back in 2020. While we don’t know the fate of Modern Props #195-290-1, we’re happy to hold a piece of history with this mini version. What did we do with it?

We asked each ship to write a post using the object in some way. Here are those submissions in alphabetical order by sim:

A Tale of Two Spragues (and Keys) by the USS Albion
What in the World? by the USS Chuck Norris
Transfer Arrival by the USS Churchill
Genesis by the USS Eminence
The Thing Is Broken by the USS Firebird
Shakedown out the window by the USS Liberty
Potential Problem by the USS Montana
Ikar’s Folly by the USS Sunfire
Brigid’s Gift by the USS Washington
Goes Nowhere, Does Nothing by the USS Wayfarer

We then asked three individuals from independent sims to serve as judges:

Christie of Gnashville
Tavey of USS Potemkin
WizardBeard of Memory Theta

And your winners are…

“Any device that knows that Raktajino is needed is awesome in my opinion. Awesome plot.” “I liked the casual subtlety that was employed here.” “The writing style here is very clean with very good grammar, which makes it easy to read. Well done!”	“This post had peak Treknobabble and it was fantastic.” “Disclosure – I have a fascination with Celtic deities, so I was immediately drawn in anyway. This was fun, and I am curious about what happens next!” “I absolutely adore the Quantum Physics take.”	“Starfleet and Snow.. Neat.” “‘Outsmarted by snow’ is definitely a new take on the ‘acts of God’ trope and I am here for it!” “I found the battle portions to be particularly engaging, especially the dialogue.”

Superlative winners:

Most integral to story use of the object: USS Firebird for The Thing Is Broken CO: Captain Malcom Llwyedd	Most creative use of the object: USS Montana for Potential Problem CO: Captain Michael Murphy	Most humorous use of the object: USS Wayfarer for Goes Nowhere, Does Nothing CO: Captain Akeno Misaki
“I will forevermore wonder what The Thing ™ does! I cared about the characters and the plot!” “This sim does a great job of rounding out all bases in a post.” “‘The thing is broken’ is now my new favorite sentence.”	“This sim does a good job of showing before telling.” “I wanted to know more about the mysterious officers.. Tell me more!” “The whole ‘Men in Black’ story line is absolutely wonderful!”	“I wasn’t sure what to expect with the cat at first but the post turned out to be a lot of fun.” “Cats In Space! I could feel how comfortable Barry the GNDN is for Isoroku!” “I’m pretty sure you’re the only sim in history who would think to use an unknown object as a cat bed and I love it.”

Great all around use: USS Eminence for Genesis CO: Captain Alex Shepard	Avant-garde: USS Liberty for Shakedown out the window CO: Captain Kaylia Strenvale	This is Trek: USS Churchill for Transfer Arrival CO: Captain James Stewart
“The cameos were surprisingly well done.” “A good way to bring in a familiar character. Hi Geordie! OK folks on the Eminence, how do you find the device??” “The writing, grammar, and punctuation are impeccable!”	“An interesting dilemma, and some equally interesting people in the middle of a time twist!” “There was a great sense of urgency in the story.” “From this post, it sounds like the object was incorporated into a larger story, which I find very creative.”	“The sim did a good job of writing the post by the numbers. Right on.” “I wondered where the device was…” “I love the detailed descriptions of the scenery.”

Yes, it is a post: USS Albion for A Tale of Two Spragues (and Keys) (CO: Captain Dick Sprague)

“This was one of the funniest things I’ve read, although I may have found it even funnier if some of the context wasn’t lost on me.”

“I liked the differentiation between the real characters and the fake ones.”

Congratulations to everyone, and a special thank you to our judges! All three judges expressed to me how much they enjoyed reading the 10 posts. They were all highly entertaining while showcasing the unique personalities of each sim. I hope the Captains and crews had as much fun writing them!

Happy 24th anniversary, Independence Fleet! Thank you for all you do to make our community what it is!
