The USS Black Hawk is a premier Star Trek play-by-post simulation where writers of all walks of life come together to collectively write new stories set in the final frontier. Initially active from 2005 to 2008, the Black Hawk closed its doors for a few years, only to open again in 2013. She's continued to operate for the last few years with a steadfast group of writers and has garnered multiple awards from the simming community. The Black Hawk is currently a member of Bravo Fleet.

Simming History

The USS Black Hawk was first launched under the command of Captain Mitch Bueller in the now-defunct Alpha Quadrant simulation group in 2005. Upon reasons that were not made public, Captain Bueller resigned his command and moved on from simming. This was the first time that Harvey Geisler took command.

For three years, minus one short break, the Black Hawk remained under Geisler's command. Following his second resignation, the sim floundered for a few months before finally being shuttered in 2008. All of the crew was either transferred off to other AQSG sims or left the group all together.

Geisler returned to simming in 2012, and one year later dared to relaunch the USS Black Hawk in Bravo Fleet in December 2013. More than three years later, the Black Hawk continues to perform as one of Bravo Fleet's top simulations.
