A Gladiator was an armed combatant who entertained audiences in the Roman Republic and Roman Empire in violent confrontations with other gladiators, wild animals, and condemned criminals. Some gladiators were volunteers who risked their legal and social standing and their lives by appearing in the arena. Most were despised as slaves, schooled under harsh conditions, socially marginalized, and segregated even in death.

In the year 2397, the U.S.S. Gladiator (NCC-79818), a Sovereign Class starship, is the home of a crew that is composed of the best and the brightest, but some have a darker history than others, so for them, this opportunity is their second chance.

This crew is composed of the best to which have shady backgrounds that can be found in the Fleet and Marine Corps. As a team, they are charged with protecting the Federation's interests on the border with Romulan space. With the destruction Hobus star the Romulan empire is in shambles conflicts are growing. Vying for power are Romulan factions, warlords, and other independent governments.

Join the crew of the USS Gladiator as they explore new areas of space and culture, struggle to maintain the balance of power, protect the interests of the federation, and discover themselves in the process.

Current Mission




With the internal struggles of the former Romulan Star Empire, following the destruction of their homeworlds and the ongoing civil war, the collapse of the Typhon Pact looks more and more likely. Without the steering influence of a strong and united Romulan Star Empire, the Breen Confederacy begins more aggressive actions against the Federation and Ferengi.


In addition, the Tzkenthi begin operating outside their borders and closer to Federation space. Ongoing skirmishes are reported on these fronts.

Crew of the Arcadia,

I'll make this short and sweet. As we transition from the Gladiator to the Arcadia, we have had some moving around go on, but that doesn't stop us from enjoying our writing and story telling. So without further or due, let me be the first to announce congratulations to our new Executive Officer, Lieutenant Commander Liala Ziyal aboard the ship. Take the time to congratulate him and welcome him aboard. JPs are highly recommended and more to come!

As he approached the entrance…
