Hey guys, now that we got a good library of missions (19 published!), I'm starting work on Phase 2. This will be a website. It will have a main page describing the Anthology. That page will have two buttons. One leads to a mission list (Preliminary list here, will look a lot spiffier though: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pH3dcI4rTZ18iBIzSUAnqIaTC-USnPbmJ5hg7sHXFAo/edit?usp=sharing). The other will lead to a map, which will have points of interest for each mission at its start location, clicking on those buttons will bring up a description of the mission. We'll add to both these ways of looking at the series as more missions get published.
I have now published my Iconoian War mission. Ready for testing and it be included in the list. (There's sure to be typos, as anyone who's been in StarbaseUGC char knows with me, but I found the vast majority of them. Still, always more, especially with as much optional dialogue I include.) Here's the data:
[Ico] Silent Gods
ST-HOI9279YH
The Iconian war rages through the Galaxy, but the state of the war in Dominion space remains a mystery. Travel to the Gamma Quadrant to rescue a ship gone missing while investigating a secret Dominion facility and learn the Founders' plan for the war and its aftermath.
Mission takes place between "House Pegh" and "Time in a Bottle."
Length will vary depending on how much of the optional dialogue (mostly from consoles) you read. And there are some optional fights, but you have to go out of your way to fight them.
Start by talking to Admiral Marconi on DS9, then through the Promenade's docking ring door right below him.
Is that still up? I just tried to find it and failed.
The first mission of my junior duology, Gekli Rising (FED), is now ready for play testing. Hopefully it is sufficiently compatable for Romulan players. Must be level 60 to play.
I'll try to get Gekli Supremacy (KDF) out later this week, although the story for both of these mission ended up being a little tougher to plot out than anticipated. Fear not, enjoyment of one of these missions is not dependant upon the other.

I'll certainly check it out with my Rom. I've been waiting for it
Looking forward to the KDF side too
Updated A Secret Weapon with toned down combat at the end. The point was to make a nearly impossible battle that could easily be avoided at a cost, but in the interest of player feedback I have removed one of the battleship mobs.
A Secret Weapon...? Is that the 10 minute one i played for an hour and a half? If so, i killed EVERYONE.
Took a while.
If it wasn't that one... Oops, i guess.
Ps. Starfarertheta? Would you be at all interested in throwing me a mission banner together using the ico designs of yours?
I make all my banners SBUGC-size, lanscape, at 600x150 or an upscaled version of that that i can downscale later. Not sure on a background image at the mo. Still only sbout a third done. It's Kdf if that effects style.
Let me know if you are interested, cheers.
I am proud to announce that "[Ico] Trouble In Paradise" has won Timberwolf's Foundry challenge! Hopefully this will give the anthology an even bigger boost in the STO community.

Yeah, I guess I was timing it based on the easy path…

You didn't have to take out that mob completely, just replace it with another frigate mob. Iconian frigates drive me nuts the way they try to ram your ship, and are hard to kill in their own right, but at least they can be taken down in a reasonable amount of time.
In case you guys haven't seen the Tribble patch notes, they have added Iconian NPC contacts! Plus many of the characters from the latest Featured Episodes. I assume this'll probably go live on holodeck tomorrow.

I do have a use for this in mind, but ironically not in an Iconian War mission.
Remember the Delta Recruit optionals I planned to add to the Ghosts of War missions? I wound up doing them for all except Part VI, because I needed an Iconian NPC to do the one I had planned for Part VI. Well, now I can finally do that DR objective after all.
With slight help from nak3dsnake, I made a mission for this, since it uses one of the models coming after the maintenance, I'll publish it then when I can change the model to work.
Faction: Fed
ID: ST-HIMYS76R9
Author: radioactivitii
Required lvl: 60
Start location: Celes System, Celes Sector, Beta Quadrant
Description: The Iconian Onslaught continues, and more worlds continue to fall. Recently, their attacks have spread to major outposts. We suspect their next target will be Starbase 114, and if it falls, we will be defenseless to a Herald Invasion.

It takes place in the Argelius System and focuses on the Heralds attacking the system.

You sure can. Got an image for me?
Trying to get a good one of New Romulus.
This is the best I have so far.

Or do you think the Romulan Republic logo would work better?

Ooooh, I'm kinda liking that option.
I forgot to ask, which mission(s) is this for?
If possible could it just say "Mol'Rihan Campaign" ?
@thay8472, Done.
And it sounded like you wanted a sig too:
