==Fleet Update==
''Written by JP B''

The newest ship in the fleet prepares for its great adventure as it embarks on a mission of exploration on the fringes of the Beta Quadrant. Join the USS Champlain on its mission!

===Missions===

====Worlds Once Lost====

After spending a week getting the ship and crew ready for their mission, and ironing the bugs out of the new ship, it is finally ready to unveil the mission...

The USS Champlain is dispatched to the area of the Typhon Expanse to investigate [[Ivor Prime]].

Ivor Prime was a former Federation colony destroyed by the Borg in 2373. The former colony is to be surveyed and a report on the suitability for recolonization is to be sent in to Admiral Lodona. As this is on the fringes of areas of Borg sightings, as well as being in an area strategically important to Admiral Doenitz, the danger is high. 


'''Deep Space Five'''


En route to Ivor Prime, the Champlain found itself diverted to take [[Deep Space 5]] for Lodona.


'''Stardate: 2407.03.04''' ''-by [[GrannyGM]]''


[[image:ugaeth.png|thumb|right|'''Captain U'Gaeth''']]A small away team comprised of Ensigns [[Derrick LaQua]], SO; [[Olen Rhinehart]], Couns; [[T’Larah Sullivan]], ATAC/ASC; and [[Brianna Frazier]]; Ops, and led by Captain [[Edward Wolfe]], has been dispatched on a classified mission to secure the strategically important DS5 for Lodona’s  52nd Fleet. The objective is infiltrate the station, and then to convince its Andorian commander, Captain U'gaeth, a Doenitz loyalist, to step down. He will be replaced by the station’s First Officer, who is aligned with Lodona. The specially modified, moderately disguised  shuttle in which the team is approaching the station is also carrying weapons for Lodona’s forces. 

The mission appears fairly simple. If all goes as planned, the takeover will be bloodless. The team is as well-prepared as possible, but with the exception of Captain Wolfe, they are all green. Wolfe is more aware than the rest of his fresh team  how a simple seeming mission can go awry. 


'''Stardate: 2407.03.05'''


The Champlain's mission to liberate [[Deep Space 5]] was a success. Following a successful infiltration by Ensign Frazier and her team, Counsellor Rhinehart was able to gain access to the command module, and convince the station commander Captain U'Gaeth to relinquish command without further bloodshed.


'''Ivor Prime'''


Following the liberation of Deep Space 5, the Champlain's mission began in earnest - tasked with investigating the colony world of Ivor Prime as a potential home for refugees of the civil war. The planet's status had been unknown since contact was lost in the wake of a Borg attack in 2373, some 30 years ago. Wolfe and his crew were anticipating a grim and disturbing scene, but upon transporting to the surface, found the colony queerly deserted and undamaged. It was soon discovered that the colonists had been transported by one [[Dr Laura Schell]], a senior theoretical physicist, to an incorporeal dimension in order to evade the Borg's impending attack. After Captain Wolfe was accidentally transported to the same void, the crew were able to return him, along with a number of the colonists, and left the colony in the hands of a reconstruction task force following in the Champlain's wake.

====The Hephaestus Principle/Beyond Vengeance====

A week after the Champlain left Ivor Prime, the crew were once more assembled on the bridge. An unexpected warp vessel had been discovered deep in uncharted space, and adding to the mystery, it exhibited a Federation warp signature. The Champlain set course for the nearby planet of Irlix, assumed to be the source of the mysterious warp-capable vessel, and began to plan for two simultaneous operations, a first contact mission, and a covert investigation of the Irlixian acquisition of warp technology. 

A day later, however, the mission was in tatters. Caught off guard by the Irlixians firing upon them, the Champlain was blind-sided as she retreated by the cloaked USS Wyvern waiting in ambush. The Wyvern pressed the attack mercilessly. But in that moment, [[Edward Wolfe| Wolfe]] seemed stricken with paralysis, almost catatonia. It cost him, and the ship, his life. A photon torpedo strike near the bridge left the command chair a devastated wreck, the explosion of which claimed the lives of several other senior personnel and left Counsellor [[Olen Rhinehart| Rhinehart]] badly burned.

Thanks to quick thinking by Lt. [[Brianna Frazier| Frazier]] and the surviving crew members, the dire situation was rescued, and the Wyvern was disabled. A boarding party led by Lt. [[Jono Janeway| Janeway]] was able to negotiate the surrender of the Doenitz crew, and bring the nebula-class home to Geneva as a trophy ship.

The Champlain's first voyage, barely a month in length, had come to a noble, if tragic end.

====Crossroads====

At Starbase Geneva, the hub of the 52nd, the new Commmanding Officer of the Champlain, [[Captain]] [[Susan Rivers]] awaited the arrival of her new command, together with the new [[First Officer]], [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Ahmed Ibn Salid]] and various new officers and crew transferring to the Champlain. With Captain Rivers were her partner [[Marine Commanding Officer]] [[Lieutenant Colonel]] [[Leonal Drizzt]] and her wards [[Toral Loren]] and [[Toral Shun]]. Lt Colonel Drizzt brought with him a demi-company of marines on temporary attachment from the [[USS Boudicca]].

Once the Champlain arrived, Captain Rivers called a meeting of all the senior officers. Promotions and medals were awarded and then Captain Rivers informed her new senior staff that after the ship had undergone repairs they would be undertaking a series of training manoeuvres designed to bring the crew together and meld them into an effective fighting team to take part in what was to become the final stage of the Civil War - the push for Earth. In the meantime, the officers and crew were given 48 hours R&R, and a memorial service was held for Wolfe.

====Do Not Go Gentle====

On completion of her repairs and the training scenarios, the USS Champlain received orders to join Task Force 19 in the Tellar System. On arrival, the Task Force Commander, Admiral Sevant, briefed the senior staff of the Champlain on their part in the final push for Earth. A task which promises to be hard, dangerous and with little chance of survival. Task Force 19 is to make a hole in the Mars Defence Perimeter, allowing the rest of the ships aligned with the 52nd to pass through and attack the standing fleet at Earth itself.

Meanwhile, over the last three months, a certain vid tape of events in a holodeck has been making its way through the lower decks. "Jungle Passion" has been an unexpected hit, but will its unknowing stars be happy when they find out? Perhaps more important is the question has it improved the ship's morale?

''More to follow as it develops!''
