Fleet Update

The USS Spectre, having successfully brought the Borg ship and it's crew under control, has just been dealt a fleeting blow by a seemingly 'sentient' and hostile subspace river! Logic seems to have deserted this mission despite the presence of a 'logical' Vulcan at it's helm. Engineering however has taken losses, our cloak little more than a burnt out remnant of it's former self along with the regrettable loss of five of our crew. Doctor Gunnell, our Borg semantics specialist is adamant that the river is showing sign's of 'life' but.... How can this be? Stay tuned.

Current Mission Overview

The USS Spectre has been ordered by fleet command to a state of urgent mission readiness, all leave has been duly cancelled pending departure for the Zeta Gellis Cluster (the outermost marker of the subspace river) for a possible encounter with a familiar and deadly foe. Under strict orders not to discuss their mission specifics from fleet command itself, rumours are now circulating amongst the crew of a possible Borg involvement to this mission. Consequently, tension is high and understandably so. What will the Spectre crew find upon their arrival? Will it be all that they fear or will it all just prove to be rumour after all? Stay tuned....

Status Report

"Captain's log supplemental... Stardate 2408.06.08 - 18:00 hours"

We find ourselves today in an apparently 'enviable' position. No one has ever managed to remove an intact Central Plexus from an active Borg vessel before, thus, Starfleet command has ordered us to board the vessel and attempt to remove this tactically precious piece of technology for further investigation. It is a mission that is fraught with danger, the central plexus itself being arguably THE most guarded piece of equipment on the ship. However, the order is given and whether the course itself is a logical one, it is unquestionably logical to carry it out.

Lieutenant Commander Banowsky is leading the away team, with support from Major Kowalski and a squad of marines. Resistance from Borg drones should be minimal, only one being unaccounted for since our last incursion on the vessel. I suspect though that this fact will not make the task of retrieval any easier, and I am sure that a barrage of defensive deployments awaits our away team.

Lieutenant Donaldson's wife Judith, the drone we brought back and de-assimilated is seemingly doing OK, although she still insists that our course of action here will be fruitless, she seems adamant that the Borg will prevail and this leads me to wonder if there is something she is not revealing.... despite my recent mind meld with her.

I can not deny that I am... apprehensive. It is not an emotion I am particularly familiar with.

Ship's History

The USS Spectre is what is known as a Black Ops vessel, this means that when a mission calls for covert operations, particularly beyond enemy lines or in enemy space, the Spectre is the ship that is called upon. She is unique in the fleet in that she is fitted with a phased cloak in order that she may carry out these most special of missions. The Spectre fights the "war without a fleet", in the Federation Civil War.

She is currently under the command of Captain T'Vhor who was promoted to Captain after her previous Captain Remae Ktell was involved in a landmine incident on the occupied planet Betazed which cruelly robbed him of his lower limbs. Commander Andrew Williams is her current First Officer.

Specific Mission Timeline

2407.01.17 - The USS Spectre mounts an away team mission on Betazed under the command of Captain Remae K'Tell to retrieve Debora Ansara, the niece of Federation renegade Admiral Rodrigo Doenitz. The Mission is a success but Captain Remae suffers an accident resulting in the loss of his lower limbs and is duly medically incapacitated from duty. First Officer T'Vhor assumes command of the Spectre.

2407.02.02 - As a direct response to information received during the Betazed retrieval mission, the Spectre is ordered into Romulan space under DOA (denial of awareness) clause, it's mission, to find and retrieve the usurped Federation President, Rondar Nell.

2407.02.05 - Rondar Nell is found living in a forested camp on Carraya IV and is subsequently transferred to the Boudicca.

2407.04.15 - Reports to 52nd fleet command signify that Captain Talasario of the Doenitz loyal vessel USS Alacrity, intends to defect with a significant intelligence database along with four other vessels. The USS Spectre is ordered to the Arachnid Nebula to effect rendezvous and assessment of the situation.

2407.06.29 - The USS Spectre successfully negotiates terms of ITD and the USS Alacrity, Swansea, Cathay, Wilhelm Steinitz and Kissimee form a specific battle group alongside the Klingon Vessels IKS B'Quaj'ah, Ha'Quj, Tong, Pach and the SuvwL'Vaj.

2407.07.09 - The new alliance battle group consisting of the above joins the battle at the MDP resulting in the fall of Starbase Valhalla.

2408.02.04 - Current Spectre Mission. 'The Gates of Prometheus' - Heading out for an encounter with the Borg.

More then One?

Yes, there is more then one USS Spectre buzzing around, 3 in the current universe, I wanted to get 1 back from the Alt Timeline Utopia Planitia the last time we played it, circa 2402-2404, of course, we brought it in the current timeline along with all the members of Utopia Planitia, gee... confusing much?

The other Spectres? At least one of them is a long, long way away in the Gamma Quadrant, if memory serves... the other? No idea, maybe I need to think something up? :)
