Djorn Major Incident

For a Friend:

On Stardate 2407.03.04 Captain Devan Sash briefed select members of his crew of the impending execution of Lt. Dru Tagon, a long time crewmember of the USS Nimitz. Tagon had been captured during a battle with Doenitz forces and after a show trial he was sentenced to death.

Admiral Robert LoDona and the 52nd Fleet command made the decision that a rescue attempt would be too risky and therefore could not be attempted. With fleet assets spread out over a wide area and in the aftermath of several extremely savage battles, LoDona was unwilling to risk the Nimitz and her crew in shuch an operation. Captain Sash and his team however had other plans.

Borrowing a Klingon B’rel class Bird of Prey, the IKS Hegh’delar, the team managed to infiltrate Doenitz controlled space under cloak and approached the prison facility of Djörn Major XJ-003 undetected. Their mission was to infiltrate the station, penetrate it's security, and then rescue Lt. Dru Tagon.

Djörn Major XJ-003 Command Personnel:

Administrator Kuln

In charge of the Djörn Major Facility for over twenty years was Administrator Kuln who had built his career and life around the station, making it one of the most successful maximum security penal institutions in the UFP Penal system. Before his take-over the facility was known as one of the most violent of Federation penal facilities, with inmate murders, riots an escapes being an every day occurrence.

Assistant Administrator Sirius Krell

The enigmatic Sirius Krell served as Kuln's Assistant Administrator and as his right hand. Among his many innovations during his time on Djörn Major was a highly trained Tactical Security Team which far exceeded anything offered by standard station security personnel. Krell had served aboard Djorn Major for nearly six years.

Head Gaolor Darnar Brokas

Rounding out Djörn Major's command personal was Darnar Brokas who served as the Head Gaolor at Djörn Major for nearly twenty years. Brokas was initially posted to Djörn Major as a quartermaster, but was reassigned to the temporary position of Head Gaolor after the prior Gaolor had been killed during a prison riot. In time the posting became permanent. Brokas worked tirelessly to control the prison population, sometimes resorting to violence and subterfuge. He was charged on several occasions with improper conduct, although none of the charges were ever substantiated.

The Murder of Major Julian Wells:

On Stardate 2407.03.07 Bruce was involved in an unsanctioned expedition to rescue Lt(jg) Dru Tagon from imprisonment and eventual execution at the Prison facility of Djörn Major.

Despite the odds, the extraction team led by Captain Devan Sash and Lt. Commander Jonas Lemar, succeeded in infiltrating the maximum security section of the station and fought the Starfleet marine contingent under the command of Major Julian Wells to an uneasy stalemate.

At that point Captain Sash ordered Cecilia Bruce to enter into negotiations with Major Wells and she was able to appeal to the Major’s sense of honor resulting in a ceasefire agreed to both by him and Captain Sash.

During the ceasefire the team was able to free Tagon from his cell and the only moment of tension occurred when Wells and his Marine moved to prevent the extraction team from moving Tagon out of the vicinity of the maximum security cell block. Wells ordered the move however to save the life of Tagon who was wearing and explosive collar which would detonate upon him being removed from the immediate vicinity.

As such Wells had not violated the provisions of the ceasefire as he had stated from the outset that as long as the prisoners life (Tagon) was not endangered he and his men would not interfere.

Captain Sash used the time to discover a way to defeat the explosive collar and with that done ordered a STS transport right out from underneath Major Wells’ nose.

It was at this precise moment that Ensign(jg) Thom Hania threw an explosive charge at Wells and his marines at the moment of beam out. (See Hania/Wells Post)

Witnesses to this action were Ensign(sg) Cecilia Bruce, Ensign(jg) Raymond Kean and Security Crewman Tek Gizell.

After successfully escaping from Djörn Major, Bruce informed Captain Sash who had not witnessed the incident, of Hania’s actions so that he could take formal action against Hania. During the subsequent interview, Hania freely admitted taking the action and did not seem to believe that he had done anything wrong at all.

It was at that point that Hania accused Bruce of betraying him and then without further warning, collapsed and died, toxicology tests indicate poisoning as the cause of death.

Later investigation of the death of Thom Hania has been ruled by Starfleet Investigators to be a suicide.

Subsequent intelligence intercepts indicate that Major Julian Wells was killed as a result of this act. As a result this incident is classified as a premeditated murder, as well as a direct violation of Starfleet Special Order Number Two.
