Fleet Update

The fate of the Federations repatriation now hangs in the balance as the Spectre sets off on a perilous, cloaked mission into Romulan space to find & bring home the deposed President Nell. The race is on now to reach him before the crack special ops team sent by the self styled leader, Admiral Doenitz reaches him first & either returns him to his prison cell or terminates him outright.

Current Mission Overview

Premise:-

The Spectre has now left Starbase 375 & has rendevouzed with it`s new First Officer Lieutenant Brian Rogers. Captain T`Vhor has just received a priority one secure communique direct from Admiral LoDona aboard the Steel talons.

After discussions with Admiral Doenitz`s recently repatriated niece Debora Ansara, it has come to light that the former president Rondar Nell, with the aid of a group of sympathisers has broken out of a secure holding facility & is now on the run. Reports hint that he is travelling incognito on a variety of small inconspicuous transports. Doenitz has despatched a small, crack unit to track him down with orders to either terminate him or return him.

Unconfirmed intelligence reports say that six decoys known to be in league with the ousted president have travelled off in various directions in an attempt to lay down false trails away from the man himself. Two of these have already been assassinated by Doenitz`s unit & a third (it is not yet known wether he is a decoy or the real thing) is currently being stalked by them.

The Spectre`s mission is to get to the president before this unit!!

To do this however will take the ship beyond the Neutral zone & deep into Romulan territory. This mission is frought with danger & it isn`t helped by the fact that there is a particularly zealous & paranoid Tal'Shiar operative aboard the Romulan warbird DihVael which is covertly tracking federation vessels as & when it encounters them. This officer is not only convinced that there is a secret plot to attack the Romulan senate, but is also intent on starting a war with the federation.

Will she succeed? Will the Spectre crew reach Nell in time, will she return with her prize or end up a burning hulk in the cold, airless vacuum of space...

Status Report

"Captains Log, Stardate 2407.02.05..... 14:51hrs."

"It is with some regret that it appears our liason with the Ferengi Daimon Brak has proved fruitless. He has been unable, or unwilling to provide us with the necessary information to enable our sensors to function normally whilst under phase cloak & as a result we remain restricted to passive scans. Daimon Brak continues to be under moderate surveillance during his time aboard the Spectre"

"Evidence of interference has recently been discovered in the cloaking device itself & as a result of this, Acting CEO Chenoll has advised that we do not lower the cloak until this interference has been rectified. This of course leaves us out of contact with our away team but Lieutenant Vasilyovna believes that our previous CEO, Ensign H'Chir may be able to assist, regardless of his fragile state of mind"

"Major Kowalski`s report via Lieutenant Major Savage has indicated covert transmissions between a warbird & what may possibly be the second Zulu Alpha vessel. My own calculations have revealed a ninety two point four percent probability that both of these vessels are now en route to the Carraya System."

"Irrespective of the status of our cloaking device, we must lower it in three hours fifty six minutes for a scheduled cool down & precharge, this means it is now highly likely that we may encounter direct & hostile intervention unless we are able to retrieve the president & leave the system before their arrival"

"Unfortunately, my calculations reveal only a thirteen percent probability that we will complete this stage of our mission in time & evade contact....."

"....End of log"

"Captain's supplemental log"

"The President has now been brought aboard the Spectre & is currently under the care of Doctor Williams & his team, our cloak has been repaired & is now online, but we have been prevented from going to warp by the arrival of a Warbird & the second Zulu Alpha vessel. So far they have yet to discover us"

"The USS Hood is now on station at the Federation border of the neutral zone, tension is high & the likelihood of conflict is probable, crew morale however remains good"

".....End of supplemental log"

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. Lieutenant Brian Rogers is her current First Officer & Lieutenant Andrew Williams is her Second Officer.

Her Plaque

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 servers... the other? No idea, maybe I need to think something up? :)
