Terran Federation - Resurrection

[Trevorrex]

Greetings citizens! All you old folks will have some idea what this is about, you new folks, just pay attention and pretend you know whats happening.

Some time ago, a splinter group from DENSA was formed, named the Terran Federation. We expanded into the galaxy, fighting numerous foes, both internal and external. But a horrific incident (server crash) destroyed all we worked for.

I bring you the Terran Federation Mk III! I am the President. That means I'm in charge.

I bring you a memo from my trusted Admiral Nilsog, who is in charge of pretty much everything at the moment:

UNITED FEDERATION OF PLANETS
CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATION

FROM: STARFLEET COMMAND, SAN FRANCISCO

TO: FEDERATION PRESIDENT

RE: STATE OF STARFLEET

Mr. President,

As you know, over the past year the Federation has been in a state of serious decay. It has been through sheer determination that our dedicated men and women of Starfleet have been able to restore our planetary communications and defenses to operational status. With our control of the planet restored, we can now focus on regaining a foothold in the galaxy.

Initial reports from Intelligence tell us that the Orion pirate activity has skyrocketed since our collapse. It seems that many of our colonies have been over-run, and the Orion have made significant advances in their offensive technologies by pilfering from our own abandoned technology. I request we begin an immediate build up of our forces, and initiate an offensive to retake our territories around the galaxy. The freedom of Federation Citizens throughout the galaxy depends on us.

Following is a report on the status of our starship fleet. Largely depleted, I recommend we re-occupy the orbital Spacedock and begin construction of new vessels ASAP.

Note: New regulations call for whipping of insubordinate members.
Note: Corruption will be kept at 20% until our Federation is re-established. Embezzling strictly forbidden.

[Nilsog]

Alright, ladies and gentlemen, you heard the president. All starship captains report. All new members who wish to join the federation, post a request, and I will give you an assignment. We need to get out there and take the fight to the Orion, the future of the Federation depends on YOU.

[Trevorrex]

Tally ho!

[Nilsog]

After a brief firefight with several transients who were occupying the Spacedock, Federation Marines have retaken the station and Engineers are being transported as we speak to begin repairs. Estimated time until all systems are functional is 1 Week.

[Gaucho8788]

This sounds like fun. I'd like to request a post.

[Trevorrex]

Excellent work Nilsog. All images of these transients are to be sent to my personal database.

[drgNz~]

Die Orions, die!

Edit: Just realized it's 'Orions', not 'Onions' .. :shifty:

[wargrudge]

I will re-assume my position as Commander of Starfleet Marine Corps. Those dogs can barely do anything without orders from one of their own. I'm here-by issuing an order for increased recruitment efforts by all Starfleet Marine recruiting stations.


Get it done boys!

[ein1017]

Willing to serve commander. just point and i will go there.

[Desolator12]

Y'know what? For once, I'll not be the agressor in a space-based RP :p

Commodore Statalyzer
to Admiral Nilsog and President Trevorrex

As you may or may not recall, an unoffical proposal was sent several years ago to the Solleau Science & Exploration to join the Terran Federation, which we declined. Our team of scientists, engineers, and mechanics prefered to keep our work limited to civilian matters, with the small independent fleet that I commanded, existing as a deterrant to space gang activity, the only military presence.

However, last week Yokosuka Shipyards, by far our largest facility, was put out of action in an unprovoked attack by Orion forces, possibly assisted by the Mara, an alien race we are studying and previously thought peaceful. Our fleet was destroyed as well, and we do not have the firepower to prevent them from annihilating our remaining facilities. We would like to join your Federation for protection.

We have little material to offer, but we do have technical knowledge and manpower. We have a full design available for a light cruiser that we recently completed. Perhaps if we combine our design with your advance robotics and construction power, together we can make this design a reality and contribute to the Federation Fleet. All we ask is that you allow us to withdraw all mobile material to the Solar System so that our civilian work can continue with protection from Orion attack.

We await your reply,
-Statalyzer

[Nilsog]

This sounds like fun. I'd like to request a post.

Very well. Currently we are in dire need of Starship captains, therefore I am assigning you command of the FSS Constitution NCC-1700. Your first assignment is to reconnoiter the outer edges of Sector 001, identify Orion hard targets, and make note of any patrols. Use extreme caution and try to avoid being detected.

Die Orions, die!

Edit: Just realized it's 'Orions', not 'Onions' ..

I'm entering you into service for SFMC. Your orders will come from General Wargrudge.

Willing to serve commander. just point and i will go there.

I am assigning you command of the light cruiser FSS Hathaway NCC 2593. Your first assignment will be to patrol Sector 001. Avoid conflict if you can, and follow the ROE if you must fight. Don't let me down, Captain.

Y'know what? For once, I'll not be the agressor in a space-based RP

Sign me on... but this doesn't mean I like DENSA

Excellent. You will have Command of the Science Frigate FSS Grissom. Your first assignment is to conduct deep space scans within the Sol system and determine what size fleet the Orion may have within our own system. Also, determine what time it takes to cook a hot pocket so its not lava hot, but also not frozen in the middle. Then make me one.

I cannot give you a definitive answer, but I believe President Trevorrex will be ecstatic to receive you into the Federation. I assure you any measures necessary will be taken by Starfleet to defend your assets.

That's it, everyone get going, you have your assignments.

[Scoot]

I request maintenance, since thats what I do for a living.

UNITED FEDERATION OF PLANETS
CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATION

FROM: STARFLEET COMMAND, BUREAU OF ALIEN AFFAIRS

TO: COMMODORE STATALYZER OF SOLLEAU

RE: FEDERATION MEMBERSHIP STATUS

Commodore Statalyzer,

Per a conversation with President Trevorrex, and a meeting of the Federation Counsel, we have decided to accept you into the Federation. You will have our fleet of Oberth class vessels at your disposal for relocating whatever you deem necessary to Sector 001. We embrace your culture into our own, and hope that our relationship will be a fruitful one.

Interim Administrator of Alien Affairs,
Admiral Nilsog

[Trevorrex]

Welcome to the Federation, Commodore. We look forward to our partnership and are confident that our combined efforts shall end the Orion threat.

I hope the Oberth fleet is adequate, they are most hardy vessels.

I require hot pockets also.

[ImageKlonoa]

This is Lieutenant Ik of the assault carrier Independance, glad to see a friendly face out here. We managed to escape the Orion, but we've taken heavy losses, including most of our senior officers. We're not dead yet though, we're still on the roster...somewhere.

I hear you need a captain. I'd be honored to return the favor and some to those who hurt one of our most revered flagships. Rank may not be there, but maybe theres a promotion in there for bringing most of Independace back?

[Nilsog]

Lieutenant! Its good to see a familiar face! Get that carrier into spacedock for repairs, and take command of the Farrigut. Command will be temporary, until repairs are completed, but consider yourself promoted to Captain.

Congratulations, Captain!

[Trevorrex]

Most of it? Most? (Did we even have a carrier?)

Well, welcome back. Your perserverance is admirable.

[Desolator12]

Excellent. You will have Command of the Science Frigate FSS Grissom. Your first assignment is to conduct deep space scans within the Sol system and determine what size fleet the Orion may have within our own system. Also, determine what time it takes to cook a hot pocket so its not lava hot, but also not frozen in the middle. Then make me one.

Roger Wilcox... setting up DSS arrays now...

And will someone get me a package of Hot Pockets?! God... lazy bums are probably quoting Jim Gaffigan...

[Statalyzer]

You have been most grateful. We expected to join the fight in our own light cruiser once our design was made reality, we didn't expect to be given a fleet to start with already.

4 of 5 ships, Biko, Bonestell, Cochrane, and Copernicus are currently using tractor beams to relocate our main facility into Sector 001, where it will be reorganized as a construction port for military vessels and renamed Yokosuka Naval Yard. Because of the damages we sustained, it's operation will be limited - some standard Federation machines and robotic assemblers would greatly assist us in production of new vessels. My chief architect will transmit to you our needs shortly - I understand if it is not all immediately available on short notice.

The 5th ship, Grissom, is on it's way to an intact science lab, from where it will return with a large supply of hot pockets and some food replicators to Desolator and Trevorrex.

[Nilsog]

Hopefully this will go on without incident. Should conflict arise, contact Starfleet immediatly, Oberth class vessels are not combat vessels, they will require backup.

As far as your needs go, once we get the information I will be able to relay to you the availability of supplies. I'm sure you understand things are tight now.

STARFLEET STATUS UPDATE

Spacedock has been fully repaired and is now in operational status.

FSS Independance, a Marine Assault Carrier, has returned to Earth after a long, harrowing voyage through deep space. While having sustained heavy damage and casualties, the ship will be repaired and put under the command of Captain IK.

After a brief battle, two of our Heavy Cruisers were able to defeat a fleet of small Orion vessels guarding the Federation Colony on Mars. The colony has been liberated, and the people have shown us great gratitude.

Enterprise was attacked earlier today by an Orion heavy battlecruiser. Enterprise was able to score a direct hit on their engineering section, and crippled the vessel. After scanning the memory banks of the ship, we have gained valuable information on the location of Orion stations throughout the Sector. This information will bolster our offensive into the outer limits of Sector 001.

I am requesting a status report from fleet captains ASAP

[wargrudge]

drgNz~, welcome to the SFMC. I'm placing you in charge of the 1st Mobile Infantry Division. While you are stationed on Earth awaiting the repairs of the FSS Independence, get well acquainted with your troops. The faster you do this the faster you and yout men will be useful for the coming campaign against the Orions.

RE: TRANSPORTATION AND SUPPORT FOR OKANNED CAMPAIGN

Greetings Admiral,

As you know, the space fighting capabilities of the Marine Corps has somewhat diminished over the years do to rapid decay of our Light Fighter fleet. With the approval of you and President Trevorrex I would like to start a campaign on the moon of Europa. Intelligence passed to me indicates a heavy Orion presence on the surface of Europa, as well as an undisclosed amount of unknown spacecraft surrounding the nearby moon of Ganymede. I would recommend removing this threat now before it becomes a real threat to our activities near Jupiter. As soon as the FSS Independence is repaired I request it and a Starfleet escort be sent to begin the campaign as soon as possible.

Neither do I, but I assure you if you get too close to that field, you won't be alive to find out... GET back behind the shielding!

Alright... bombarding the package with protons... keep a steady stream of 'em, and let me know if the temperature changes equally... if it doesn't, you're eating it lava hot... I'm gonna go send the higher-ups the sensor readings...

My last contractor kinda went 'outta business' after attempting to experiment with some new form of hot-pocket heating technology. Not too sure about the exact details of why they quit operations, though -- something about a demonic portal opening up and killing everyone at the Phobos research base cause of the experiment using ancient artifacts uncovered on Mars, or somethin...:dead:

[Gaucho8788]

Sorry for the lack of communication as of late Admiral Nilsog, this is Captain Gaucho . We have spotted Orion patrols from time to time flying through this sector and though they fly through this part of space I have yet to find any bases or spacedocks that they may be in possession of lying on the outer edges of this system. We have noticed that their patrols are scanning various inhabitable planets so we are assuming that they are planning on moving in. We have yet to be detected and hope to keep it that way. We of the FSS Constitution NCC-1700 will continue scouting the outer edges of sector 001 and try to keep you up to date on the details.

-Captain Gaucho

[Statalyzer]

General Wargrudge,

What is the status of the Marine Transport Fleet? If you currently have insufficient space for your divisions, I can loan you some of my ships for temporary use as transports, as most of the relocation of our facilities has been done and the ships are not needed for repair work.

I will loan you 3 of my 5 vessels if you can assure me that the fleet will be adequately escorted. I cannot afford to throw away supply vessels in a direct engagment with enemy capital ships.

TCIA reporting for duty, Sir!

Although our HQ has been destroyed and plundered by Orion pirates months ago, a small team of technicians managed to get away with a big part of The Archives. The rest has been lost after the Auto Destruction system was activated. Current inventory is at a historical low, with only a couple of reconaissance drones left and a lone I.G. long range Scanner.
Requesting a scientific, research or support vessel, that would be suitable for a mobile HQ.

[wargrudge]

Commodore Statalyzer,

Your proposal is greatly appreciated. We are just shy of our pre-war transport levels, so one ship should be enough. I cannot guarantee it's safety in the heat of battle, however I will personally se to it that it be at the rear of any formation before the ground invasion begins.

Estimated time to arrival and initial engagement of Europa: 3 days.

General Wargrudge

[Statalyzer]

Wargrude, the Biko is on her way to pick up your troops and rendezvous with the fleet as we speak. She'll be under your command until the mission is over.

Maximuzz, my ships were a recent gift from the Federation. If you would like one, it is your perogative to take it back. Grissom is sitting around Deso's HQ after having delivered his food replicators doing nothing right now anyway. Our current project, design and construction of a new light cruiser, doesn't require much in the way of actual ships.

Augmented with Federation replacement systems, the yard will be functional within the week, by which point plans for the new cruiser shall have been forwarded to Adm. Nilsog for approval.

[Desolator12]

Doing NOTHING?! I assure you, the ship is being used for extremely high-level research and experimentation... why just today, I perfected the Proton-Wave cooking device. It heats everything, and I mean everything, equally... as well as continuing DSS Array updates on Orion positions. There are labs on the Grissom are vital to my research and development abilities.

Also, I've got the perfected device ready, Admiral nilsoG

[Gaucho8788]

Commander Max, this is Captain Gaucho reporting.

While on our routine patrol of the outlying parts of this sector we managed to spot a small group of Orion ships passing through. Though before we were able to get out of sensor range they spotted us. The firefight left us with some heavy damage to secondary system and little to moderate damage to our primary systems. The group consisted of:

2 Orion light cruisers
1 Orion freighter
1 Orion scout ship

We managed to disable the freighter before it could get away and boarded it, it is now under our control. Also, through what seemed as a miracle, my tactical officer with my pilot pulled off a stunt that left the two light cruisers temporarily disabled. Though before we could try to do anything to the two light cruisers they both self-destructed. The scout ship was able to get away unfortunately before we were able to intercept it. We are departing for space dock for repairs with the freighter in tow using the tractor beam. It may take awhile for us to arrive.Also from what we could get from our sensors the Orion group was headed for a small system in this sector. Hopefully the equipment inside will be of use along with any info in their computers memory. En route to space dock.

-Captain Gaucho

[Statalyzer]

Admiral Nilsog,

Here are some basic concept plans for Solleau's new light cruiser, which we propose be named FSS Alliance.

Basic sillohuettes:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v498/Statalyzer/FSSAlliance.jpg

Obviously some depth detail is left off in these...more detailed schemes to follow.

The basic plan is incorporate the most advanced Federation Warship technology possible, augumented with upgrades from Solleau's latest research. However, since the need is so great, the ship's buildtime needs to be reduced as much as possible, requiring that we make tradeoffs such as fewer photon launchers, no separation mechanism, etc.

Length - 908 ft
Width - 468 ft
Height - 223 ft
Armament - 7 phaser banks, 1 photon torpedo launcher
Defenses - Deflector shields
Propulsion- Standard impulse engines, Sustained-Mass Warp Drive
Saucer Separation - incapable
Science Facilities - minimal
Sensors - Extended Active Scanning
Tractor Beams - none

[Gaucho8788]

Emergency Transmission

This is Captain Gaucho.

While En Route to space dock with the Orion freighter we were ambushed by an Orion Heavy Cruiser and Battlecruiser. It seemed the only thing they were interested in was the freighter caused as soon as they dropped out of warp they opened fire on it. Luckily we were able to deactivate the tractor beam and raise shields before the explosion but since it was so close we still sustained heavy damage. It was weird though because as soon as they opened fire on it they left, guess they thought it would be enough. Right now our warp drive and shields are down. We are attempting to make necessary repairs to the warp drive and impulse engines to even make it back right now. I think we can handle it on our own but any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Over and out.

-Captain Gaucho

[ein1017]

This is commander Ein reporting:

Sorry for the delay but we have ran into a fairly large enemy fleet and we have been running on high alert and minium emission state to avoid detection. Currently we are following the fleet through a radiation belt that has scrambled senors on both sides so we have been using visuals only. requests further orders.

Edit: our navigation is also out but the enemy fleet course seems to be approx. going in the direction of X:25 Y-1 Z:0

First order of business is to assign both of you posts.
- Annihlator, I need to you take temporary command of the 1st MID, since drgNz~ seems to be AWOL at the moment. The men NEED a field commander, so you better be willing and able. If not you can always report to supplies and make sure the boys in the field are fed.

OK, I gotta ask: did you make sure NOT to combine the positronic emitter waves with the microwaves?

Trust me, you DON'T wanna know what happened the last time the Mars Phobos research team did that.:dead:
Only second-rate scientists would make such a nublar mistake... as for that incident, I know about it.

The device should be there in a few moments, Admiral. What are my current orders?

[SgtRicko]

So when's the assault to begin?

[wargrudge]

48 hours and counting.

[SgtRicko]

UPDATE: While I was heading to one of the foward listening outposts on a supply ship to gain a couple more recruits needed for my team, I got an urgent call from the post that they had just spotted a hostile and would be needing support ASAP since all they had online was just their tractor beam and shielding (the cannons were offline due to maintenance issues). Apparently, they saw THIS (http://www.galciv2.com/screenshots/v16/index.8.jpg):

The reason why we managed to get such accurate data was because the listening post had decided to focus their scanners on it entirely since they had no weapons; they were figuring that if they perished, they might at least get a recording of the culprit. As you can see, it had no weapons to speak of, which is why no violence broke out, but the fact that it had such advanced scanners and survey equipment is making think that this guy may be a scout. But this begs the question: what did it want from us???




BTW, I know I shouldn't be asking for this kind of data sir, but do the Orion even have Class IV scanners!? Last time I checked, the best they had was a Class III, and that was for a rather advanced starship, not a recon craft!

I'm not sure I understand, are you threatening war if we don't ally ourselves with you?

Now get to work!
No, not at all, ill take that as a yes, and start making large exploration and pumping out arterial outposts for support along hte way, we are planning a network our own small fighters to report to these stations, our venomhawks have all new plasma rocket launching systems ready for testing, we do have one exploration ship out there upon Orion space, the crew of the Galactica is reporting for duty!

We finally got our propulsion systems back online and are back en route to space dock. During our repairs we noticed regularly increasing amounts of Orion squadrons passing in and out pf the system. Before the Orion activity started increasing we got minimal impulse drive back and were able to move to a large asteroid nearby which camouflaged us in a sense from their radar. The squadrons consist mostly of Orion freighters, guarded by Heavy Cruisers. I am not liking it though because there are about two or three to a squadrons, whatever it is in those freighters, theres a lot of it. Our ETA to space dock is one hour.

Height : 125 m
Decks : 36

Mass : 2,350,000 metric tons
Crew : 550
Armament : 13 Type IX phaser arrays, total output 30,000 TeraWatts, 2 Type 1 burst fire photon torpedo tube with 250 rounds
Defence Systems : Standard shield system, total capacity 2,025,000 TeraJoules
Standard Duranium/Tritanium Double hull plus 7 cm High density armour.
Standard level Structural Integrity Field
Warp Speeds
Normal Cruise : 6
Maximum Cruise : 8.8
Maximum Rated : 9.2 for 12 hours.

Mr. President, Admiral, the Orion Syndicate has somehow aquired the schematics to a new line of medium range ship mounted disruptors developed for the Imperial Fleet. Weapons of this type are mounted on only the newest of our vessels, the Tellara included, and have been shown in tests to be very capable weapons systems. We do no know if these schematics were leaked accidently, stolen, or sold. What we do know is that the Orions have begun a program to retrofit their fleet of light cruisers with them. Though we have only tracked one such vessel, we feel there may already be a number in service. As of this time we do not know where these refits are taking place, however we are working to find this information.

CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATION

FROM: GENERAL WARGRUDGE, COMMANDER OF STARFLEET MARINE CORPS

TO: ALL MEMBERS, TERRAN FEDERATION

RE: OPERATION DOORSTEP

Ladies and gentlemen of the Federation,

As of thirty minutes ago the official invasion of Europa has begun. Initial reports seem to show that all forces made it to the surface safely, thanks to the efforts of SgtRicko and his men. Resistance is light for now, but expected to pick up heavily within the next few hours. Starfleet escort vessels are ordered to provide bombardment capabilities to the men on the ground, but keep your sensors active in the direction of Ganymede. We do not know if the space fleet there is friend or foe, so be on the lookout.

More updates as the battle progresses.

General Wargrudge

[Gaucho8788]

This is Captain Gaucho.

We arrived at space dock a few hours ago and immediately began repairs on the Constitution. Repairs are nearly complete. With the battle going on at Europa and the threat of invasion reported by SgtRicko, wondering if I should stay incase you require my assistance or should return to my recon patrol. Awaiting instructions.

-Captain Gaucho

[Trevorrex]

All available ships are to meet the Orion threat at Neptune. I'm afraid this is a more pressing concern than Europa at the present time.

Admiral, I suggest you prepare your ship for battle or leave this area for your own safety.

Mr. President,

The battle on Europa is well in hand as of this point, so I am hereby relieving all support vessels from the Europa campaign to assist. Marine escort fighters will be traveling with the fleet to help in anti-ship warfare.

My ship is presently awaiting support before engaging the enemy. We sit just outside of maximum fighting range, and the enemy is currently leaving us be, as I believe they are probably thinking of us as either a decoy, or a lure. Repeat, I am requesting back-up prior to my engagement with the enemy.
Commander Bean, out.

I'm unsure what exactly just happened, but whoever is on the Ganymede moon just tested some sort of weapon on Jupiter, and completely destroyed it. We only have this photograph to show us what happened:
http://www.universetoday.com/am/uploads/2005-0527grb-full.jpg

This is not the best of moments over here. I'm still unsure of who these people are, but I'm considering them hostile until they prove otherwise. Any attempt to hail their vessels is un-answered. As commander of the Europa Campaign and the region surrounding it, I'm ordering ALL Starfleet vessels anywhere in the vicinity to evacuate immediately away towards Mars. A very.... unique.. radiation cloud is heading towards Saturn as we speak, and though slow moving, looks to be very destructive in and of itself. If there are any people of the Federation on Saturn, I urge them to leave as soon as possible. I will stay on Europa with my marines, the battle here is not yet over.

We are on our way.
It appears that the Orion fleet is also moving away from these unidentified bogey's. This leads me to believe that they are not allied with the Orions, and are likely to be an enemy to both of us. I am following orders and returning to Mars, and shall await further instructions there.
--Commander Bean.

[SgtRicko]

General Wargrudge:

We've finally finished up with the mop-up operation on Europa, and are preparing to pack things up just in case if that large Orion Fleet decides to come around these parts. Basically, we're just waiting for the next orders around here.

However, there is a more pressing concern, sir. During the assault, my men claimed to have seen a strange ship departing the from the dark side of Europa (the side I was attacking). I have a picture of the ship below:


http://www.st-intelligence.com/ship_database/fed/images/KreTime_main.jpg


This thing definately isn't Orion -- the strange design and unusual energy signatures are proof enough of that. But, my men reported that it was being escorted by Orion patrol craft, which leads me to believe that this may be of strategic importance to them.



P.S. Though I'm only speculating at this point, it might also be the ship responsible for the recent disastrous explosion at Jupiter. But if that's the case, then why blow up Jupiter when they could have used it on our forces on Europa, or more strategically, the starfleet? A lot of questions this ship raises, indeed...

[Desolator12]

*grumblegrumblegrumble*

Someone get me some -READINGS- on this weaponry or whatever it is! That ship looks like a gun, but then again it could be a huge Orange Juicer! I can't work on anything either against it, or integrating it's technology into our own, until I have some -READINGS!-

Oh, and the Rat Recycler's ready... as is the sensor jammer... pretty ingenious invention if I do say so myself, which I do, and I will...

[Statalyzer]

That picture of the destruction of Jupiter that wargrudge showed us looks eerily similar to the quantum disturbance effects (QDE's) that the Mara, the same alien race that helped the Orion force damaged our shipyards and science labs. This makes us suspect that the Mara have allied with Orion.

However, there are several pieces of evidence that suggest it was not the Mara who blew up Jupiter.

1)The Mara's QDE severeky damaged our facilites, but wasn't powerful enough to destroy them, leaving enough intact for us to rebuild them. If they can destroy a planet, surely they would have totally annihilated our space station.

2)Orion currently seems to be avoiding this anomaly that resembles a cloud of radiation. If Mara produced this effect, then why would Orion, their allies, be avoiding it?

3)SgtRicko's picture is not a picture of any known Mara ship. However, that ship is escorted by Orion, so perhaps that picture is not of the ship that destroyed Jupiter.

[Desolator12]

Bout damn time -- my freaking space suit gots rat poop all inside of it along with other things you dare not imagine!!!:irked:

We have not seen any cargo ships for days now, but some giant Orion...something...just jumped to hyperspace moments ago. A pursuit could mean suicide with all the residual radiation. Our navigation is plottiing an alternate course as we speak, we will be there ASAP.

[wargrudge]

Our long range sensor array we set up here on Europa has given us this 3-dimensional image of a ship as it was moving away from Jupiter and towards Saturn. It is not of Orion origin, and was traveling with a small escort before all disappeared from our sensors, most likely due to some sort of cloaking field.

http://www.3dmodelworks.com/models/thumb/Gemini3d/Spaceship/Spaceship.JPG

Due to the destruction of Jupiter, Europa is now slowly drifting out to space, as are the other moons. Except Ganymede. The unknown space forces there are still on it, but connected to the planets surface somehow, and the telemetry experts back on Earth expect it to collide with Mars sometime within the next 4 to 6 hours.

Plus, it means my character shield is the strongest, meaning my ship can't get destroyed.

[Yorkie]

I will need a lift as I don't have my own transport so I will pack all the equipment I need and be ready and waiting.

Unfortunately it's not like calling a cab, unless of course we can have some funds invested in perhaps some sort of space ambulance.

[wargrudge]

Well for the moment the Biko is still under my command, so I will have it pick you up and bring you here. Then the Biko is going to be returned to Commodore Statalyzer.

[Yorkie]

But hasn't the Biko been slightly damaged? I would hate for there to be some sort of malfunction and to die on the way to Mars :scared:

However I will trust your judgement and hopefully be with you A.S.A.P

[Trevorrex]

Hmm, space ambulance. Perhaps it is time to go one step further and invest in a hospital ship. Transporting patients from all over the Federation to your hospital is getting tricky.

We can convert an older ship to become a dedicated hospital ship. What say you Yorkie? Internal decor will be entirely your decision.

[Statalyzer]

The defense system on Europa consisted only of a few small ships which tried to stop the landings and were destroyed quickly. Biko's shield integrity was reduced and most of the auxiliary power systems were fried, but the ship can still make full power with the mains.


Also, some good news. We have ruled out Sabotage in the case of the Bonestall. It was apparently an improbable freak accident caused by an unleash of zero-point energy in an experiment on torpedo upgrades. We're not quite sure what the chances of this happening are, but the chances of it ever happening again are approximately 0.
Finally, here is more detail on Alliance, elaborated on and edite to conform to Federation data, although due to the experimental nature of some of the technology it will employ, these values are what we hope to achieve, not what we are certain to have as the final stats. Some of them differ slightly from earlier values.


Length: 321 m
Beam: 166 m
Height: 80 m
Decks: 20
Crew Compliment: 272
Armament:
:clear: 7 phaser arrays
:clear: 1 dual-burst photon torpedo launcher
Defence Systems:
:clear: standard shields, capacity 1,960,000 TJ
:clear: standard Duranium/Tritanium single hull
:clear: standard Structural Integrity Field
:clear: quantum stabilizers
:clear: subspace masking
Sustained-Mass Warp Propulsion:
:clear: 6.0 normal cruise
:clear: 9.4 maximum cruise
:clear: 9.7 for 18 hours
Saucer Separation: incapable
Sensors: Extended Long-Range active scanning
Tractor Beams: not eqiupped

The theory behind our design is to beat the Orion pirates at their own game. This means first of all, use their primary method of engagment against them, which is to hit and run, using stealth, feints, surprise, and speed. Second of all, to prevent them from using this method against us.

As you may have noticed, this ship has an unusually high maximum cruising speed. Normal warp technology encases the ship in a local field of space which means that the ship is travelling within this zone at less than the relative speed of light inside it. This also cancels or minimizes time dilation and relativistic mass - mass normally increases as speed approaches the speed of light.

The Sustained-Mass Warp Propulsion allows the relativistic mass of the ship and Warp Core to increase much more than is standard, thus magnifying the amount of matter-antimatter reaction and noticibly increasing the warp factor the Alliance can achieve. However, the side effect of this propulsion is to limit interaction with the outside world. While at warp speed, she can transmit subspace messages but receive none, and cannot fire weapons at warp like other ships can.

The extended sensor range plus the magnified cruising speed means that Alliance is ideal for pursuing and/or tracking enemy raiders, but will not be able to engage them while at warp. The quantum stabilizers are there as a shield against the quantum disturbance effects (QDE) weapons of the Mara, against which an ordinary energy field is useless. Subspace masking is a very poor substitute for cloaking. It can help disguise the ship from enemy scanning only at extreme range or while in the presence of unusual background particles or radiation, and even then such disguise cannot be relied on, only hoped for. Nevertheless, it does provide a slight advantage in fighting the Orion fire with fire.

Since new ships are needed ASAP, Alliance will not be equipped with any tractor beams, carries a slightly subpar although still effective set of weaponry, cannot saucer separate, and has only a single hull with no dense armor plating installed. This means she is poorly designed to slug it out with enemy ships of the line, but is still more powerful than the speedy raiders, stealthy pirate ships, and escort vessel that she was meant to fight - and unlike most ships which are also more powerful than those, Alliance has a good chance to outrun them and/or outfox them. We realize that some of this is a gamble, but we believe the tradeoff is worth it in these tough times.

[Avapodnaught]

Our long range sensor array we set up here on Europa has given us this 3-dimensional image of a ship as it was moving away from Jupiter and towards Saturn. It is not of Orion origin, and was traveling with a small escort before all disappeared from our sensors, most likely due to some sort of cloaking field.
General Wargrudge
Arriving at Neptune (3 hours since)

Cloaking fields? well, I think we can get to work on that... I am issuing a weapon to take care of it, but when it first comes out it won't be able to deal with ships until later research into the weapon, the weapon is a small bomb that deploys a minefield of beacons giving the ships locations, time till finished, 1 hr, time to be given to ships with requisitions, almost immedietly,

Note: have been playing a sport called ping pong, seems to be a reality game of our pong...

[SgtRicko]

I've noticed that admist all of the recent chaos around Jupiter's destruction, the Orions ended up leaving a lot of equipment behind. Granted, most of it is just simple supplies and whatnot, but one particular object caught my attention: the Orion Jupiter Sensor Array. Due to it's location over Jupiter's North Pole, it's obvious that it must have recorded some valuable intel on the unknown ship and the explosion, among other things. and who knows -- if we're lucky, we might even get some intel on the Orion's numbers in the area and their recent chatter between each other before Jupiter's destruction.

Therefore, I request permission to launch a small operaton to investigate the senor array and gather what intel it may have collected. I will only need a small team of four and a shuttle, myself included.

May I carry out this mission, Sirs?

[Avapodnaught]

sensors spot Orion forces getting close to Neptune, and soon afterward, they flicker, and then they r gone, the Galactica moved over there to see if the sensors were faulty, but they r indeed gone...
If they intend to go below radar or even cloak and pass the planet, I will have further information upon investigation, I have mined fields where they disappeared to track them if they r to depart the same way so their cloaking fields will be useless upon scanning...
Commadeer, out.

The Reliant is on the way. I made sure to fill it with spare parts, incase any major work is needed. I have a small group of workers on stand by if they are needed to help with repairs.

thank god someone is out there, this fleet of orion star ships and this mysteriously large capital ship have just come out of the opposite side of Neptune, they r attacking without relent and I had no choice but to retreat, i fired my Warp Drill but they hacked into its systems and it stopped, I need backup here, they r disabling my jump systems with some sort of hack that disables machinery with certian codes that our machinery use...
I need backup from any if all cruisers, they have been using electric magnetic pulse operating dishes to penetrate shields... I need something that can fire from long ranges and hit targets spot on... Venomhawks seem to be getting crippled when they r in one of the powerful emissions,

edit: On further speculation (under attack here! helpless, and have plenty time to looksy!!!... Calmness curcuits adjusted) the enemy ships in question r not Orion ships, but indeed emit Orion signatures on the map, they are in fact using weapons that have no Orion presidense in the field that they r in. Me and my scientists believe that these ships r to provoke a strike upon the Orions, but even so, we request assistance as we have very little hope of survival. And even tho the ship around me is falling apart, if they could make weapons like these, they could certainly rip through a gas planet, like Ju...

ALERT - GALACTICA DESTROYED BY ORION FORCES
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v96/Trevorrex/GRemanNemesis19.jpg
I am declaring a Federation wide day of mourning for the terrible loss of the Galactica and it's commander, Fusion Avapodnaught. A capable vessel until it's destruction and a brave Commander until his gruesome death.

Rest In Peace.

Yorkie, we'll be scouring the debris of the Galactica for any remains. We'll need you to reassemble them, preferably in the right order as we'll need something to bury to honour their noble sacrifice.

[Desolator12]

*sigh* I hate being without orders... it makes me use my imagination.

Anyway, latest R&D has determined you guys aren't so much in need of weaponry as Anti-Weaponry. I'm gonna work on some shield generator technology, as well as anti-electronic-interference shielding... maybe write a program or two... oh, and if anyone wants it, I've also got a nifty little device here. It toasts bread as you slice it. Made it in my spare time while working on that Proton-Wave machine.

Also, I don't mourn. Doing so is a distraction from my work, which when completed usually prevents more mourning.

[Gaucho8788]

President Trevorrex sir, with the recent destruction of the Galactica I think you should fall back to a safer distance and let the rest of us take on this enemy.

[Trevorrex]

Excellent work Desolater. We need some better shield technology. And crispier toast!

I'm sorry Gaucho, I must disagree. With the destruction of the Galactica, my ship is needed more than ever.

[Gaucho8788]

Yes sir, I just don't want anything to happen to you or your ship. Orions seem to be advancing, BATTLE STATIONS!

[Yorkie]

Hmm, space ambulance. Perhaps it is time to go one step further and invest in a hospital ship. Transporting patients from all over the Federation to your hospital is getting tricky.
We can convert an older ship to become a dedicated hospital ship. What say you Yorkie? Internal decor will be entirely your decision.

Sounds good to me but for the time being can I have one of these to get around (http://www.funsales.nl/images/Decor%20Panelen/DP%20810.00%20-%20%20Space%20ambulance%20(nr.%203750).jpg)

The defense system on Europa consisted only of a few small ships which tried to stop the landings and were destroyed quickly. Biko's shield integrity was reduced and most of the auxiliary power systems were fried, but the ship can still make full power with the mains.

That doesn't sound too good at all, however if it is possible to save some lives by travelling on it then so be it.


Yorkie, we'll be scouring the debris of the Galactica for any remains. We'll need you to reassemble them, preferably in the right order as we'll need something to bury to honour their noble sacrifice.

*Yorkie bows head and prays for Commander Fusion Avapodnaught and his crew.

I will do whatever I can Mr President let me know what you find, I am still waiting to be transfered to Mars.

[Statalyzer]

I need backup from any if all cruisers, they have been using electric magnetic pulse operating dishes to penetrate shields

This is highly odd; such a magnetic pulse ought to be repelled by the deflector shields. Perhaps Avapadro's ships simply carry a very different shielding design, but I suspect that this pulse is actually a Mara QDE. It might resemble an EMP, but what the pulse actually does is cause a wave of ripples in the quantum states of matter the effect passes through, with predictable effects on the structural integrity of the target. If this is true, then it looks we have a Mara-Orion alliance.

The Alliance, when built, will be equipped with quantum stabilizers that should neutralize the QDEs. Solleau can begin equipping current vessels with these, although there are only a limited number available right now. Cochrane and Copernicus are on their way to Neptune now, with two stablizer systems on board each ship.

Note that installing this on your ship will take it out of the action for a couple of days, because it is more than a matter of attaching one big machine into the engineering system. Small propagators must be installed at many points along the ship's hull and then the effect can be carefully networked together to encase the hull in a stabilizing effect. But the option is now available if you consider the Mara QDE's a serious enough threat.

Desolator, Grissom will continue to assist you in your shielding experiments with all available research equipment.

[Gaucho8788]

The Orions don't seem to be attacking full force and their weapon ship hasn't attempted to fire on us. I'm assuming it has a recharge time so the ships that are on us right now may just be bideing time for the ship to fully charge. We need to be prepared for the worst. Shields are holding.

[wargrudge]

The telemetry experts on Earth were wrong. Ganymede passed harmlessly by Mars just minutes ago, and the other moons are on course to be out of the Sol system within the next two to three weeks.

The news of losing the Galactica saddens all of us here at the SMC, and we pray that they died a quick and painless death.

[Trevorrex]

Sounds good to me but for the time being can I have one of these to get around (http://www.funsales.nl/images/Decor%20Panelen/DP%20810.00%20-%20%20Space%20ambulance%20(nr.%203750).jpg)

The news of losing the Galactica saddens all of us here at the SMC, and we pray that they died a quick and painless death.

Well, I wouldn't say entirely painless. Or quick. See, first the ships plasma conduit network would have ruptured, spraying plasma over the crew, burning and maiming them. At this point the plasma backflows into the reactor system, overloading containment systems.
This meant power went down through the ship, causing terror as they are now being burnt in total darkness. Numerous hull breaches would have opened up, sucking some hapless people into outer space, where death takes about 30 agonising seconds, 15 if already burnt by plasma.
The the reactor went critical, destroying the ship completely. That would have been the quick part.

Very well. But if there is any sign of the enemy you are to withdraw.

[Trevorrex]

UPDATE ON GALACTICA DISASTER

The recovery vessel sent to the Galactica debris field have picked up several escape pods and shuttle craft that seem to have escaped the ship's destruction. No news on who is inside yet, more to follow.

Yorkie, the recovery ship picked up remains, detailed below:

46 limbs of varying descriptions.
35 torsos.
45 heads.
Box of assorted genitals.

Please do your best to reconstruct these unfortunate people Yorkie. Or assign someone else if you think it's too yucky.

[Yorkie]

Certainly. Funding for the ambulances granted! They shall be delivered to you as soon as possible.


*Yorkie unwraps huge parcel that has just arrived :D

Thank you Mr President I can now make my own way to Mars.

It doesn't sound like I am going to have many if anyone to piece back together from the Galactica so hopefully there are still some that I can patch up on Mars.

Edit - since remains were recovered I will hopefully manage to patch some pieces together will let you know how I get on, might have to hand the box of genitals to someone else though :p

[ein1017]

Sir what r the chances of us winning with the Galactica destroyed?

[Trevorrex]

They werent all that good to start with. But we'll have to manage.

[SgtRicko]

Very well. But if there is any sign of the enemy you are to withdraw.

Alright, I'll be heading off then. Should be pretty easy, though.

[Yorkie]

It's a very difficult thing to do Sir with only 35 torsos yet 45 heads, it has taken me ages to work out what to do and in the end I have enlisted the help of the boutique on base and used the manequins to give bodies and limbs where needed.

Hopefully their families will never know the difference if seen from a distance.

Once coffins bearing the TF symbol are in place the funerals can take place, God rest their souls.

I am now on my way to Mars hopefully to help out before we get to the funeral stage again.

[SgtRicko]

Alright, I'm back. The mission was a success, since no one bothered us and the sensor array's defenses and shields got knocked out by the shockwaves from earlier. However, all the data collected was encrypted, so I think I'll have to hand it over to Deso for proper analysis(and don't worry Des, it's got readings - LOTS of them!!!:p)

[Bean]

Sirs,
The Excelsior is on station at Neptune with the other battleships of the Federation. We all await further orders.
Commander Bean, out.

[Scoot]

If possible I would like to see if I can salvage any parts from the Galactica. I await your orders if you want me to proceed.

Granted. Proceed at your own discretion.

[Zancloufer27]

I have something that may be of use. On Europa I tested a small scale jamming sheild. When activated it will be impossible for anything to lock on to, scan or comunicate with what is inside the field. However, anything inside the field will be unable to do so with those out side of the field. With some tweaking of ship systems you should be able to pierce the field with 50% efficancy, asumming you usethe right frequency. If can be launched at other ships, but it will only last 2-3 hours Max on its own. With a ship feeding into it, it should last indefinatally.
You might find this new technology useful.

[Statalyzer]

Cochrane and Copernicus have arrived at Neptune, please notify us if you would like the quantum stablizers we previously described to be installed on your vessel.

Shibby. Send 'em my way and I'll futz with them.

Zancloufer, send that my way too... might be able to integrate it into the new shield. Sure as hell would make it more effective.

Also, a shipment of knives-that-toast-as-they-slice-bread are on their ways to their respective ships. Enjoy!

requesting for my vessel to be installed with this stablizer

Gladly. Estimate 38 hours to completion. If there are any more Mara ships assisting the Orion, they'll have to revert to their (generally weaker than our phasers) conventional weaponry instead of their quantum effects against the Hathaway.

While searching the debris field I came across a data pod. I found a will inside requesting the data pod to be sent to the Mech worlds, signed:

[Gaucho8788]

Damn Orions drew me outside the system. This is Gaucho. The Orions started advancing as if to attack so I intercepted them. I was able to push the few ships back. As I was chasing them in their retreat I noticed a larger fleet of their more powerful ships lying several light years outside our system. When finding this fleet on long range sensors I decided to return to the sol system. It seems that what ships were headed here were only a small front to what they really have in store. We have sustained only minor damage which we have already repaired. Also Commodore Statalyzer, I would request your Quantum Stabilizers be equipped to my ship as well. You can do it whenever it is convenient for you.

-Captain Gaucho

[SgtRicko]

I don't understand. The Orions clearly have a fleet bigger than ours, yet they keep backing off whenever we close in. What's going on with them, man???:wtf:

[Nilsog]

I estimate our fleet strength is large enough to engage the fleet, if they withdraw, pursue with discretion. Don't draw yourself into a fight you cannot win. Stay in contact with command, and be careful. Engage!

Commodore Statalyzer, I am offering you a promotion to Rear Admiral, and second in Command of Starfleet. You may re-assign your fleet of Oberths to a subordinate, or keep them. In any case, when I am absent you have the authority to issue orders to any Starfleet Officer. General Wargrudge- as Commander of Starfleet Marine Corps you also have the authority to give orders to starfleet vessels. If either of you notice anything that may need to be addressed do it. You both will answer to me, and I answer to the President. I feel confident in both your abilities and hope that you will be able to keep the fight going while I am tied up from time to time. Good Luck.

Also, Admiral Statalyzer, you now have command of our newest Excelsior Class vessel, FSS Unity NCC-23442. Make good use of her.

I eagerly await construction of our new Light and Heavy Cruiser classes, they will surely help us regain our hold in the galaxy.

I would also like to commend all our people on their courage and vigor in this time of uncertainty. It is of no doubt that we have some of the best and brightest the Federation has to offer. I am proud to be your commander.

In regards to the Galactica disaster- I am shocked and disappointed at the loss of life, but I understand the commitment of these *cough*.. brave.. *coughcough* men and women. Their memory shall not be... uh... what was I saying?

Ah yes.

Give em' hell! Take back Sol!

We believe that we can reconstruct Avapods body and upload any data he himself put in the pod for his new position as Constructor of Starfleet Operations...

I should have been informed of this days ago. :dismay:

I have medical supplies en route. They will be arrive on our Starfleet's first new hospital ship, the USS Asclepius. My apologies to Admiral Nilsog for launching this vessel prematurely, but the crew complement I've installed should be adequate for this mission. Count on it bringing all the artificial organs and limbs you could ask for.

[Statalyzer]

Thank you, Admiral Nilsog. I enthusiatically prepare to carry out my duties with honor, dignity, respect, courage, and perspicatiousness! As for Alliance, any specific designation for her? The saucer hull shell is nearing completion....

Unity will immediately head to Neptune to join the main battle fleet.

http://www.startrek.pl/res/klasy/Excelsior/big/excels.jpg

In the meantime, gentlemen and women of the fleet, while we are at a standoff with Orion near Neptune, perhaps it is the time to seize the iniative. The majority of their ships are here, they can't have many more elsewhere. If we take advantage of this opportunity to strike out at them, perhaps it will induce them to retreat from the solar system to protect their territory.

Any suggestions? We don't want to strike out blindly - anything we've learned from some of these captured Mara or Orion systems?

UPON RECEPTION OF SUCH TRANSMISSION, THE ENTIRE FLEET SHOULD CONVERGE ON THE SOURCE.

[wargrudge]

General Wargrudge to all forces surrounding Neptune:

Enemy vessel that destroyed Jupiter has been spotted by sensors passing through the Uranus orbital path heading towards Neptune. No ships were in the vicinity to engage and it has since disappeared. Keep an eye out.

Also, the gargled transmission that was recieved earlier has some odd anomilies to it. It appears to be coming from 4 seperate locations, though the four are still not known. This of course is not possible, so it is believed to be an enemy ploy to keep us from the real spot. If anyone gets a fix on any of the transmission sources you are to be cautious when investigating. Should it be the true source, you are to do as Admiral Statalyzer has ordered and converge on the location.

[Nilsog]

Unity, this is Enterprise, we have located the President. Cerebellum's signature is masked inside the cloud Jupiter left when it exploded. My science officer advises me that our sensors and shields will be useless in the cloud, so all responding ships are to take extreme precaution. Enterprise is en route now.

[Avapodnaught]

*Incoming Transmission*

The Mech Worlds have recieved the data pod containing the information, Avapod will be reconstructed to give us any information on the ship that destroyed his, so far we know that they use polarity pulling and pushing devices and a highly amplified frequency to use high powered emp, and we see it as a 'Polarity Pusling High Frequency Magnetic Pulser Device', be warned, the enemy may use their newly captured Warp Drill to destroy large ships in a split second, and with this PPHFMPD on the loose, they can easily use it to just momentarily weaken the shields, giving it a faster time to reload, not that it doesnt destroy ships that have shields anyway...

Unity is hovering just outside the Jupiter cloud, and have sent probes inside. Of course, we cannot communicate in real time with these probes, but every 15 minutes one should return with some data, and this will allow us to render assitance to anyone inside should something be hiding in there.

Enterprise and Constitution are already inside. Can one more ship volunteer to help explore the cloud? The rest of the fleet should remain at Neptune in case this is an Orion trap designed to lure us away from Neptune.

[Desolator12]

Just reporting in with the news that the new shields are in. I prefer to call them Zeta Particle Emmission Fields, but 'really badass shield' works just as well. When activated, a higher powered shield comes online, as well as a device that prevents lock-on from other ships. Considering though that the field also prevents you from locking-on, this function can be turned off. However, while it is on, to conserve power - this shield requires 1.5 times the power regular shields need - weapons systems will be disabled. You can cycle the weapons to make sure that once you turn the anti-lockon device off, weapons will be ready to fire...

Anything else that you guys think I need to work on? I'll ship the devices off for installation into the newer ships, and you guys can snag 'em on the way back, alright?

Also, in my random to-do list is a weapons set that bypasses the anti-lockon system, to let you handle someone quite easier... as well as some new reactor technology.

Unity heads off at maximum impulse to the far side of the Jupiter cloud where the hulk of the Enterprise is drifting and Hathaway is scanning. Grissom is on her way from Desolator's lab, eqiupped with the new shield - the small vessel is not meant for battles like this but can at least manuever around with the ZPE shields to draw fire away from the ships of the line. Two of my other frigates are there just for the quantum stablizers in case the Mara are with the Orion, but I need cruisers and fast.

All ships sign in when you arrive on site with Unity and we'll align into battle formation. Transmit subspace message to me immediately if you are en route so we know who to expect and which ships not to wait around for.

You can cycle the weapons to make sure that once you turn the anti-lockon device off, weapons will be ready to fire...


They should also Jam sensors for the most part. I believe I know how to find a way to pierce the shield effect, but it will need tweaking. Don't be surprised if sensors and/or communications cop out when the shield is active.

[wargrudge]

All SMC security details on Starfleet vessels are to secure the bridge of their respective ships and not let ANYONE that is not authorized to be at the helm in. All Starfleet personell are to be at their assigned posts ONLY, unless otherwise ordered. Intelligence believes that we may have a few moles on the ships in an attempt to sabatoge our vessels. Anyone attempting to access the bridge or pass by security checkpoints without proper identification and orders will be shot on sight.

I am on my way to the Unity to help secure Admiral Statalyzers ship. ETA, 1 hour.

INCOMING MESSAGE FROM SEARGENT MAJOR RICKO:

I'm taking the ZPE shield with me to protect my dropships as we attempt to rescue the Romulan starship and it's crew. Hopefully, we can go in and rescue the crew before they're ship is goes critical. Sorry for not asking permission on this job, but given the drastic situation we're in, I think you'll find my actions understandable. Also, don't bother trying to contact me: by the time you're reading this, I'll probably be at the site already.

Signed, Sargent Major Ricko


P.S. Deso, is that data I gave you a while back decrypted yet??? It may have something we need to figure out what happened at Jupiter and possibly the chatter between the Orion ships!

***INCOMING TRANSMISSION***

This is Admiral Hirem Rekar of the Imperial Romulan Warbird Tellara. In an attempt to engage Orion Syndicate vessels in the Federation Sol System we were led into an ambush. We have suffered severe damage, and the vessels assigned our escort have both been neautralized. However we have restored impulse drive and have moved out of the large dust cloud that had previously hampered our communications and sensors. Our shields are down to 25%, most of our weapons systems are offline, we're currently being pursuid by multiple Orion Raiders.

I'm ordering any availible vessel of the Romulan Imperial Fleet within distance of this communication to come to the following coordinates and provide assistance.

Rekar out.

IMPORTANT NEWS BRIEF

In one massive, terrible, horrible, unexpected, and slightly ironic strike the combined forces of the Ferengi Alliance and Bajor have completely exterminated the Mech World/Genibots race. All planets within their controlled territory have been eliminated. Their fleet was crushed. All citizens, government officials, and members of their military were liquidated. No one was spared, NOT EVEN THE CHILDREN.

thanks any help will be welcomed and probably needed. Keep a sharp eye out for anything unusual. I suspect a trap. Going in cautiously .

[Desolator12]

I sent over another shield unit to the shipyards to be fitted... as for the data, we've had a cluster of Beowulf... clusters... working on decoding. So far it's proving to be slow goings... got a bit of it decoded. Nothing worth anything though.

Also, with the Grissom in transit, I have limited resources. I'll pull what we have left into decoding that though.

[Statalyzer]

http://stuff.mit.edu/afs/athena/contrib/graphics/contrib/shabby/Excelsior_Wave.jpg

Hovering near the Jupiter cloud, Unity, Hathaway, Reliant, and the three frigates pick up something on scanners. Three vessels of an unusual signature are picked up on scanners. Captain Ein of the Hathaway gets the first visual - of a Mara scout ship emerging from the cloud.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v498/Statalyzer/MaraScout.jpg

Two more identical ships follow closely behind. "Shields up. Readout on those ships?" says Admiral Statalyzer. Captain Scoot quickly transmits the information his scans have come up with. The ships have narrow warp nacelles very similar to Federation technology, with unified energy shields only 25% the strength of the average TF cruiser. Weaponry appears to be a laser mounted on the underside of the hull and small antenna for firing QDE waves. The ships are relatively small, only about 90 m long.

Grissom, equipped with Desolator's advanced shields, turns the shields on and heads to the front of the fleet. "All ships hold your fire, let's try and be friendly in case they-" Statalyzer's order is cut off by a blast of laser fire from the Mara which is absorbed harmlessly by the ZPE shield. Unity detects the quantum distubance weapons charging - "We've got about 15 seconds to knock those out or our ships without stabilizers are in trouble."

Hathway, equipped with quantum stabilizers, has little to fear, moving in at close range to draw fire as her two companions quickly reduce the weak Mara shields to nothing. One QDE is unleashed; the wave interacts with the stablizers and dissipates, the only structual damage to Hathaway one lone transporter pad put out of action. "Fire!" says Ein - the retaliation is swift and complete. The remaining two scouts ships attempt to withdraw, but Unity and Reliant make short work of them.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v498/Statalyzer/ExcelsiorFiring.jpg

"That was almost too easy." says Scoot. "That can't be all." As if to confirm his premonition, 12 more ships show up on scanners. But these aren't Mara scout ships. Copernicus confirms it - "Vessels appear to be the Orion battle fleet" . . . .

[Gaucho8788]

We've finally cleared the dust cloud. Unfortunately though it seems that the warp core is going to go critical though unless we act quickly. My engineers are attempting to bring the core to normal levels but with these Orion ships on us it is hard. now that we're out of the clouds interference the shields are back up but only at 32% and that won't last long. Unless you guys can help get these Orions off our back we're going to have a Warp Core breach on our hands. Please assist.http://www.forums.cncden.com/%5BIMG%5Dfile:/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/HP_Administrator/My%20Documents/My%20Pictures/Star%20Trek/Uss_enterprise_self_destruct.jpg%5B/IMG%5Dhttp://www.forums.cncden.com/%5BIMG%5Dfile:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/HP_Administrator/My%20Documents/My%20Pictures/Star%20Trek/Uss_enterprise_self_destruct.jpg%5B/IMG%5D

[ein1017]

We have to pull back and regroup so we can contiue the fight.

*Looks at the scans*

They have at least 4 heavy battle cruisers over there and them alone will give us a fight for our lives.

*Radio's Desso*
I suggest u see about forming a cloaking/jamming device so our ships stand a better chance.

The Hathaway will try to draw their fire since this ship is a bit faster then the others and can get away.

http://www.stargazertwo.com/Database/Stargazer/hathway51x1.jpg

[Daishi]

Our ship is unarmed and the shields are malfunctioning. The Asclepius will return directly to Spacedock and be given a refit and its legitimate command before returning to service. I'll return to my duties at the Academy upon reaching Earth.

[Statalyzer]

Statalyzer: "We can't face that fleet, we can only hope to escape it. Copernicus, and Cochrane, use tractor beams to tow the hulk of the Enterprise and send parties on board to search for survivors, we detect there are still humanoid life forms aboard, hopefully our President is still alive."

[ZEEEEOOOOWWWWWSSHHHHHH - Federation medical and security officers beam aboard]

Lt. Malcom: "Wait a second, those aren't all 12 orion ships. That's 4 Orion battlecruisers, 7 Orion raiders, hotly in pursuit of Constitution!"

Statalyzer: "Signal Grissom, Reliant, and Hathaway, we'll have to go in and help Constitution escape."

Cmdr Krasnodar: "But Admiral, if 3 ships try to rescue 1 against such odds, all we'll do is make the casualty list mount to 4."

It's a moot point. Hathaway is already bravely charging the fleet, hoping her mobility will allow her to survive as she draws fire to help the damaged Constitution and the crippled, in-tow Enterprise get away. The weaker raiders, speeding ahead of the lumbering battlecruisers, engage first - Hathaway's shields are shaky but intact. Grissom draws fire as well, her powerful ZDE's holding up well, but also prevent her from communicating or firing weapons.

Statalyzer, on board Unity, struggling to get into the fight, signals her companions. "Ein and Scoot, concentrate your firepower on the same raider. We can't beat this whole fleet but together we can at least destroy a few smaller ships and escape before the larger ones arrive."

[ein1017]

[On the bridge of the Hathaway]
*boom*
chief engineer: Captain our shields are now at 30% we can't take too much!
*boom*
Captain: just keep moving and firing. Just a couple more shots before that Orion ship is no more.
Weapons officer: Weapons are now at 60% effiecancy.
*boom*
Captain: Status report
Chief engineer: that last one got through the shields. We got haul breach on deck 22.

[Desolator12]

*grumble* Alright, I'll get to work on a cloaking device... gonna take longer unles I can get some more facilites though.

[Statalyzer]

Hathaway's Weapons Officer: "Admiral Statalyzer and Captain Scoot, Hathaway's last phaser burst severely weakened the energy grid on the port side of that raider. Can either of you exploit it?"

Reliant moves in for the kill.

http://www.bravofleet.com/avalon/images/miranda-fire.jpg
http://www.prip.tuwien.ac.at/~nabil/astro_pics/space_explosion2.jpg

"One down!"

Statalyzer: "Transmit to Desolator: 'After this battle is complete, Grissom will return to your HQ to continue assisting in your science experiments.'"

But the larger warships are starting to enter the battleground. All 4 Orion battlecruisers unleash barrages of electron cannon. Even the improved ZDE shields can only take so much punishment. Unity is too late to assist, probably for her own good as she cannot take on 4 battlecruisers anyway.

http://www.oman3d.com/tutorials/photoshop/explosion_deez/image13.jpg

Statalyzer: "Uhhhh...cancel that transmission."

[Zancloufer27]

*grumble* Alright, I'll get to work on a cloaking device... gonna take longer unles I can get some more facilites though.
Could just use my sheild as a base. It already blocks all forms of sensors and communication.

[wargrudge]

Sensors indicate life on the Enterprise, but only a few of the readings are of people native to the Sol system. I recommened a boarding party to go in and take back the vessel, since it appears to have been taken over by the enemy in a plot to get us when we least expect it. It may just be a floating husk right now, but that ship is the symbol of our Starfleet.

[Statalyzer]

wargrudge is correct. A quick scan reveals that no-one from our away mission to the Enterprise is still onboard with life-signs. They must have been killed by whoever was aboard the ship. :(

The question is why did wargrudge know that most of the lifeforms onboard the ship weren't ours, but we found only Terran humanoids. Perhaps there is a mole onboard Unity feeding us false sensor feedback? We are investigating.

In the meantime, the two Frigates will continue towing Enterprise home at maximum impulse, and our other 3 ships still have a battle to fight to save the Constitution.

[ein1017]

The Hathaway dodges left and right trying to get out of the range of the heavy battle cruisers long range guns but was not completely able to get away.

*Captain of the Hathaway to Admiral Statalyzer*

Admiral Stat. The Hathaway has lost all main power is now running on emergency power only. We are spinning out of control and we have no idea when we can get the engines back and running. The good news is no Orion is chasing after us. WE will have to go radio silence after this transmission to conserve on power........ *Ends*

[sovietmisaki]

now could one of you give me an idea for a repair ship? cause I am chief repair man after all, maybe I'll just stick with repair droids for that. anyways sending repair droids by mean of large freighter to repair the Enterprise when ready .

[Desolator12]

...and I just received a "Cease and Desist" letter from the Romulans... under the Non-Aggression Pact, I can't make cloak technology.

Oh well... working on some weapons tech then...

/me walks up and sits upon chair of command of the Pegasus

I am back online, and ready to serve and take out the two ships that aided in MEch Worlds Destruction...

This is war, I understand it that we knew we had it in for ourselves, we had info that neither enemy could let loose... But since the Pegasus, our last battleship, escorted our Artificial Mech Planet with a civilization to last for several years, survived, and we eventually will die out, but will live our legacy out till the end...
I am on a revenge mission, and I have finally hunted down and captured teh great planet destruction weapon, and am going to destroy the Orion Fleet battleships one by one no matter the cost, but first I give this weapon of destruction to Earth, and The Artificial Planet will escort it over...
I am on a revenge mission, and until the ship that downed the Galactica is destroyed, and the Warp Drill retrieved, will I come back...
I am afraid, without the Mech Worlds, many civilian planets with no means of protection, r unguarded long the edges of the galaxy that have put their name into the Federation...
The Pegasus is resistent to the shield Technology, and I found out what they were using... a miniature version of something called a Rift Generator, but this was only the beginning, a intercepted transmission has given me the knowledge that a very large vessel with a much more advanced dome of the Rift Generator is being constructed, or has been constructed, Avapod Survivor of the Mech Worlds... Over and Out...

[KrasnyOktyabr]

No one was spared, not even the children.

[Avapodnaught]

*As ship fires upon an enemy ship...*
Can't say im glad I wasn't there... For I definetly wasn't online at the time...
I could have helped, I would have died in honor if I was there...
Don't make an old machine gather rush...
My people r almost dead, and u can stand to say that this is a lie, Feeblish alliance if u ask me, my ship is going solo, on its own, till I find that ship, and destroy it...
Avapod, OUT!!!

[KrasnyOktyabr]

You have fun with that.

[Gaucho8788]

Thanks to you guys my engineering staff has been able to get the core under control and the breach has been averted. We are attempting to retreat right behind the Hathaway and Grissom but we can't do much since our weapons are still off line. Our forward Phaser Array is fried but the Aft Array can still be activated if we can get power to it. Wait.....

Chief Engineer Zach: We have been able to reactivate the Aft Phaser Array, also the Aft and Forward Torpedo Arrays are active though the compliment of torpedoes is only at 20.

Captain Gaucho: Understood. Lt. Commander John, load all active torpedo bays and arm the Aft Phaser.

Lt. Commander John: All active weapons armed and ready to fire.

Chief Engineer Zach: Due to the sensitive nature of the warp core at the moment we can only go to warp at factor 2.7 and sustain it indefinitely without the threat of breach.

Captain Gaucho: Alright, hopefully we won't have to go faster than that. Commander John, open fire on Orion ships.

Lt. Commander John: Firing!!

[Avapodnaught]

Enemy ship, obsolete, good luck with defending urselves from the Rift Generator,
Avapodnaught and our fleet Resigns, for the Terran Federation is a shambles now... Our newly found weapon shall be taken by our planet and will cost safely away... as our new protection from anything that is willing to bother...
We shall restart our civilization, and become a power...
Earth is in no harm, but how long shall we let a race with flaw be in a whole?

*** INCOMING TRANSMISSION ***

rumors of my death have been highly exaggerated.

After moving into the cloud, Enterprise was hit by an Orion cruiser. After the ship that hit us boarded the vessel, I was left with no choice but to initiate self-destruct, per Starfleet Regulations. The rest of my crew is out there in escape pods, I greatly appreciate your rescue efforts.

For now, we must regroup. Admiral Rekar, the arrival of your fleet has come at an integral time in this battle. I believe our combined forces will be able to finally defeat the Orion battlegroup.

All combat effective starships are to rondevouz with the Romulan fleet immediately.

I will have Temporary command of the FSS Defiant.

However with assistance from the newly arrived Romulan fleet we've got our shields back up to 60%, and are ready to stand with our Federation associates and take this fight on the offensive.

All vessels still capable of fighting are to meet at these coordnance in orbit of Neptune, we are going to regroup and take the fight to the Orions. Admiral Nilsog, contact me on private channels.

You miserable people! A lot of you have failed to heed my demands that you attack the Orion fleet which is IN THE SOL SYSTEM AKA: EARTH'S HOME SYSTEM.

Our sincere thanks go out to the Romulan Empire who seem more interested in defending our territory than a lot of you idiots appear to be.

[Gaucho8788]

We have already destroyed a couple of the Orions ships while in retreat but what we destroy they seem to replace with one or two more. We are out of torpedoes and the aft phaser array is down to 20% output. I'm not sure about scoots or eins ship status but their condition is not to better from the Constitutions. Shields are at 32% because Ein has been drawing most of the fire. Whenever you guys plan to arrive would be greatly appreciated because we can't last much longer on our own out here.

Man, I'm feeling real useless right about now...:ashamed:

[Statalyzer]

Don't worry, Ein, we see you on aft scanners, we're turning around to blast those ships off your tail...what the-...our ship is coming to a halt. Engineering, what's going on down there?

Lt. Sharma: "I didn't order a full stop, but it says somebody accessed the computer from a different deck. Could be one of those Orion spies wargrudge was talking about. He couldn't lock out my computer though, I'll get us back on track."

Unity begans moving again, and arms photon torpedoes, hoping the reinforcement fleet will show up soon.

Read the thread.

[Gaucho8788]

We got the ships off of ein, but that took the last bit of phaser energy that we had left, and we're out of torpedoes. All the constitution can do now is take hits. Constitution takes a severe hit to the Aft-Starboard side.

Captain Gaucho: What was that?!

Lt. Kim: They hit us on the Aft-Starboard side with a two torpedoes, the thing is they seemed to be at a higher yield than usual. Shield status holding at 25%

Captain Gaucho: Zach I want all available energy dumped into the shields and more, draw it from life support if you have to, I want those shields up as high as they'll go. If we can't hit them then we can at least protect those who can. Also John, I want you to see if their is anyway we can get energy into the phaser banks. I want to give them all we got.

John and Zack: Yes Sir!!

Captain Gaucho: Also I want all crew to be prepared to abandon ship incase we need to arm the self-destruct.

[Bean]

I offer my deepest thanks to the Romulan fleet for rescuing me and my crew from the stricken Cerebellum.
A transfer of command shall take place on the starship Excelsior. I will command the ship into battle to retaliate against the Orion fleet.
I am honored you would choose my ship, Mr. President.
I am enroute to the Romulan fleet to pick you up, E.T.A. 15 minutes.

[Gaucho8788]

Lt. Commander John: Sir shields are down to 6%, structural integrity failing, warp core near breach, we need to abandon ship.

Captain Gaucho: Lt. Kim see if you can get ahold of the Unity and see if they can take us aboard, computer activate self destruct.

Computer: Key and Voice recognition required.

Captain Gaucho: Key Recognition Code - ***********
Voice Recognition Code - *****************

Computer: Self destruct activated and set at 7:30 minutes.

Captain Gaucho: All hands abandon ship, except for senior officers. We'll hold off until we can get a response back from unity. If non received with 1:30 left we'll head to he escape pods also.

[SgtRicko]

Don't worry, Captain - my transport can pick you and your men up, so HOP ON IN!!!;)

[Scoot]

My men and I are trying to keep up with the repairs. I lost a few men in the last attack. I will try to keep you up to date. If there is any ships that need minor repairs I will get them fixed first, so they can get back out there.

[Statalyzer]

Transmission from Unity to nearby vessels:

Gaucho, we're beaming off everyone on your ship that we can and getting the hell out of here. Ricko, beam off as many as you can and follow us away. If we head toward Neptune at maximum sub-light speed, we'll be leading this fleet away from Earth, and towards an ambush by our reinforcements. Ein, do you have enough speed left to escape with us?

*Tac* Sir, we've lost primary power! Shields are down!

Engineering! I need power back immediately, or we're as good as dead!

*Engineering* Aye, sir! I'm already on it... I just need to bypass... this..

Orion ship comes about and prepares to fire

*Engineering* Bridge, you should have full power!

Helm, get us out of here, now!

Defiant limps away from the Orion vessel as it fires another volley of torpedoes

Brace yourselves!

Defiant is rocked by another torpedo hit to her engineering section

*Engineering* Sir, we're losing hull integrity! We can't take much more of this!

Helm, come about and bear down on that ship... do the best you can...

Defiant outmaneuvers the bulky Orion vessel and comes to bear on the aft of the ship

Tactical! Fire photons now!

http://users.bigpond.net.au/dax/Torpedo.jpg

The photon torpedo swirls around in the blackness of space, while everyone on the smoky bridge of Defiant holds their breath. The torpedo smashes into the port warp nacelle of the Orion vessel. It spins out of control, venting plasma and throwing sparks accross the vast vacuum of space.

All stations report...

*Tac* Weapons at 45%, fore phasers offline, fore port torpedo launcher offline. Hull integrity at 60%, shields are offline. Multiple casualties on multiple decks. Hull breaches contained... for now.

SgtRicko, I gave you an order. What progress have you made?

Sorry to say sir, but if I were to go out there and try to take anybodys ship as of now, me and my crew would be torn to shreds by the crossfire out there almost instantaneously!




(That, and you forgot to assign me an assault craft with the slicer equipment and shields needed:|)

[wargrudge]

You fail to notice I gave you full authority for the mission. Which means I don't have to assign you anything. You find a craft that is suitable and you use it.


And, not all enemy ships are being engaged. There are numerous support ships flying about outside the combat area. You need to use your head soldier!

Ein, do you have enough speed left to escape with us?

all you hear is a static hiss.

[Statalyzer]

Reinforcements have arrived, never mind, turn us back around again! Target that lead Orion battlecruiser....FIRE!

*nothing happens*

Cmdr Krasnodar: "Somebody hacked into the main computer from deck 5 and cancelled the weapons locks. That mole is still out there. Sending security immediately!"

*Unity gets weapons back online and resumes the attack.*


TRANSMISSION FROM ADM STATALYZER TO ADM. NILSOG:
"Our ship is periodicly being hindered by an Orion double agent on board. We should have him captured soon, but just in case he does something, can someone on your vessel be ready with Unity's prefix code? This way, if you notice our vessel doing anything out of character such as retreating without being heavily hit, or firing on friendlies, etc, you can command our ship from your own secondary console.

Thank you for your assistance Stat and Ricko. When you beamed the remaining crew off their was about 2:37 left on the self-destruct timer, so it should be about up. I'll take command of a station or help in anyway possible and so will my crew.

[Nilsog]

Message received, Unity.

*Defiant take another hit and shudders.*

This is getting old. Tactical, fire at will.

*Defiant swings around and fires at the enemy vessels.*

*Comm* Admiral! Constitution has been destroyed!

*Helm* Sir... controls aren't responding!

*Defiant comes to an abrupt halt, while taking fire*

Unity, we've lost complete control of Defiant... we're locked out of the computer, if whoever did this heard your last transmission... they may have your prefix code. Do whatever you can to lock your computer out!

*Defiant takes several more hits, as her transmission is abruptly cut short*

[Trevorrex]

*Starship Excelsior, part of combined Romulan/Federation fleet engages Orion fleet*

Taking fire....shields holding for now...targeting Orion cruiser....their weapons have been disabled....moving onto next......Orion ships detected attempting to outflank us....shields at 85%.....coming about starboard, targeting flanking ships....

[Nilsog]

Defiant to fleet, we need cover while we get control restored. We're dead meat if we keep taking fire while we're dead in the water...

[Trevorrex]

Excelsior responding, flanking vessel has been dealt with, setting course to intercept Defiant.
Taking fire, shields at 67%, returning fire, phasers and torpedoes.

*Excelsior moves within range of Orion ships flanking the Defiant*

Firing weapons, 2 enemy ships hit.....our shields at 50%......

[Nilsog]

That's got it! We have control back, and we have discovered the enemy aboard our ship... he has been... dealt with.

We're back in the fight! Thank you for your assistance, Excelsior.

[SgtRicko]

Alright, I see a supply ship in the rear that looks like it's losing pace with the others: maybe I can get my transport close enough to use the industrial drill beam I have onboard to cut through their hull and send in my team. Here we go!!!

*Ricko's Marine transport speeds up and deliberately rams itself on the side of the supply ship, thus disabling their shields (but unfortunately his own ship's shields as well)*

Men, get the drill beam working on that hull of theirs NOW! We only got about a couple of minutes before they figure out what we're up to!

*The drill beam begins cutting through the supply ships hull*

Corporal Mason: Sargent Major sir! It looks like an Orion corvette spotted us - it's headed our way!

Ricko: Damn, they're quick! Is there anyway to speed this drill up?

Mason: No - the drill wasn't originally intended for this kind of task and it's already being focused high enough already, any more and it'll might overheat!

*The transport takes a hit on the portside*

Ricko: Aww, crap, I think it hit the port hatch! Are we losing atmosphere?

Mason: no, sir, but the port hatch is toast, and so are the escape pods on that side!

Ricko: I guess we won't be able to use the pods to attack the other side of this ship... also means we only have one attack venue on the supply ship...


*Beam drill finally breaks through the hull*

Ricko: OK! Team 1, use your flashbangs through the hole that the beam drill just made! Team 2, lay some covering fire for us and Team 1, lets go go GO!!!

*Firefight begins...*

[Statalyzer]

*Unity sees Defiant taking heavy fire from the enemy.*

As they move in to render assistance....

2d Lt. Boren: "Admiral, I've found the mole that was on board our ship!"
Adm. Statalyzer: "Where did you find him and has he been subdued?"
2d Lt. Boren: "Yes, all I had to do was pick him up, see."
Adm. Statalyer: "What the-"
