"Being hugged by Commander Zzt isn’t that bad really...after you lose consciousness."

Childhood:

Ahmed was born in Cairo, Egypt- Earth on Stardate 2382.04.10 to Salid ibn Jaffar and Jasmine Mosatuff. At the time of his birth his father was an engineering ensign aboard the USS Roland and his mother was an artist.

Ahmed lived in Cairo for the vast majority of his life, although he did spend a few years aboard the USS Roland and the USS Forrester with his mother and father.

At the age of five years, Ahmed’s parent’s divorced after Ahmed’s mother Jasmine was discovered to be having an affair, with the USS Forrester’s Chief Counselor. Ahmed’s father, unable to raise the boy alone and without a desire to release him to his mother’s custody,sent young Ahmed back to Cairo to live with his Uncle Aamihr. Before leaving the Forrester, Ahmed’s mother gave him a necklace to remember her by. He still wears it to this day.

Ahmed had a difficult time adjusting to his new life with his Uncle. When he reached his teens, Ahmed became rebellious and would often disobey his uncle’s wishes. In the interest of finding something to occupy his nephew’s time in a more productive manner, Ahmed’s uncle introduced the boy to Sailing and Boxing.

There were remarked improvements in Ahmed’s grades as a result of these new interests. It was discovered that he possessed a photographic memory and that he had become bored with his studies, since he could memorize the course curriculum within a few hours.Boxing and Sailing gave him physical challenges as well as mental ones, and he began to work in his uncle’s business, teaching tourists how to sail traditional Egyptian boats on the Mediterranean sea. Ahmed would often participate in unsanctioned boxing clubs in his teens.

It was during this time that Ahmed began to take an intense interest in History. His uncle had revealed Ahmed’s rich family Lineage to the boy at the age of 17. The men in Ahmed’s family have dedicated their lives in the pursuit of Moral Justice. Ahmed began a detailed Genealogy of his male ancestors and was able to trace back his lineage to a general serving in Saladin’s army during the battles of the 2nd Crusade. He commissioned an incredible Genealogy scroll of his ancestors that is 4 feet wide and 9 feet tall. It is current displayed on the wall of his quarters aboard the USS Rosenante.

On Stardate 2398.08.12 Ahmed was involved in a near fatal accident. While exploring a recently discovered Egyptian tomb in the Valley of the Kings with Doctor Sufi Mohammed Sari, a renowned Egyptologist, There was a collapse of a tunnel.

Ahmed was badly injured. He suffered serious trauma in the form of broken bones. It took rescuers thirteen hours to free him from the rubble. As a result of these traumatic times, Ahmed suffers from a mild case of claustrophobia, although he is usually able to fight back the sense of panic that he feels.

University of Cairo:

Ahmed enrolled in the University of Cairo on Stardate 2399.03.06 in the fields of Archeology, Ancient Medicine, and Ancient Engineering. He greatly enjoyed this area of study, but at the insistence of his professors and in messages received from his father, now the Chief Engineer aboard the USS Tripoli, Ahmed finally agreed to take the Starfleet entry exams.

He graduated with a Masters degree in Archeology from the University of Cairo on Stardate 2403.03.05.

Relationships of Note:

Crewman Debbie Weston

Jasmin Mohandas

Salid was involved in a romantic relationship with Engineer Debbie Weston while he was stationed aboard the USS Nimitz as Chief Engineer. The relationship began to grow somewhat cool after Ahmed's participation in the Raid on Djorn Major XJ-003.

The relationship broke up when Ahmed was promoted and assigned to the USS Champlain as First Officer. Weston and Ahmed are still friends and are on speaking terms. Ahmed visited the USS Hades after the end of the Civil War where he spoke once again with Debbie Weston. Debbie was interested in rekindling their relationship, but Ahmed resisted. His concern over maintaining a long distance relationship and his newly acquired interest in Jasmin Mohandas won out and Ahmed and Debbie agreed to end the romantic aspect of their on-again, off-again relationship.

After the end of the civil War, Ahmed returned to Cairo to visit his uncle. He was attacked by an angry mob in the city, as a result of his choice to wear his Starfleet uniform. He was beaten and struck with stones and lost consciousness. When he recovered he found himself in the Home of Jasmin Mohandas. Jasmin had tended his injuries after rescuing him from the mob using a black market phaser.

During the subsequent discussion, Ahmed discovered that she had been a Lieutenant assigned as ACMO to the USS Pangaea. This vessel was a part of the Doenitz loyalist force that fought against the 52nd Fleet at the Battle of Sector 001. Heated words were exchanged and Ahmed was asked to leave.

Jasmin Mohandas

Several days later, Ahmed saw Jasmin in the local marketplace and apologized. He offered to make her dinner, which she accepted. The meal was terribly cooked, but Ahmed and Jasmin spoke more candidly afterwards and it was then that Ahmed learned that Jasmin was to go before a tribunal for her actions during the battle. After discussing the situation with her, he became convinced that she had done nothing to warrant a courtmartial.

Ahmed spoke to Jasmin's JAG Officer for the defense and convinced him to allow Salid to speak as a character witness on Jasmin's behalf. After a hard-sell the counselor agreed and Ahmed was aloowed to speak at the Tribunal. He gave an empassioned speach about "mercy" and "healing the wounds of the Federation". It seemed to work, jasmin was only reduced a single grade as a result of a guilty result of Medical Negligence, while she was found not guilty of the six charges of Murder brought against her.

For several months, while the Hypatia was in Sector 001, Ahmed spent a great deal of time with Yasmin and his uncle Aamihr in Cairo. A young budding romance began between the two and despite the difficulties of a long-distance relationship, is still working.

Starfleet Academy:

Starfleet Academy, San Francisco, Earth

Ahmed took his entry exams on Stardate 2403.06.05, just in time to manage to squeeze into the summer class. Ahmed scored the tenth highest entry exam scores in the history of the Academy, a fact for which he is extremely proud.

He double majored at the Academy in the areas of Materials Engineering/Damage Control and Trauma Medicine.

During his time at the academy, Ahmed joined the Academy Boxing Team, Regatta and rowing teams. He took the Lightweight title for three of the four years that he competed at the Academy. As the captain of the Rowing team, led his crew to victory two years in a row. The Academy Regatta on Actura II proved to be another victory for the Cadet Salid, as his crew and he took the cup in a ship named the Jasmine.

On stardate 2406.08.02 Ahmed participated in the famed Starfleet Academy Marathon on Danula II. This grueling race saw Ahmed finish 221st out of 693 competitors. While not a clear-cut victory, he was pleased that he managed to finish the 40-kilometer race.

Prior to completing his Course studies at the Academy, Ahmed also took and completed his Bridge Certification Training, Command Staff Training and his Departmental Command Courses. The scored well in each of these additional course, a fact that would assist him later in being selected for the position of First Officer of the USS Champlain.

Ahmed graduated the Academy Class of 2407 on Stardate 2407.01.22. He ranked second in his class. It was on his graduation day that news arrived of his father’s death aboard the USS Tripoli. He had sacrificed himself to maintain the containment of the collapsing warp core during the battle of Cardassia.

Starfleet Career:

Ahmed was commissioned as an Ensign Junior Grade pursuant to his graduation from Starfleet Academy on Stardate 2407.01.22.

Ahmed was ordered to report to the USS Nimitz, a Sovereign Class Starship (Registry NCC-75878-E) captained by Captain Devan Sash.

Ahmed was forced to take a circuitous route to reach the Nimitz due to the Civil War between the Doenitz Loyalists and the 52nd Fleet, the latter to which the Nimitz belonged. During his trip he witnessed the oppression of Andoria first-hand.

He commissioned a respected smuggler and 52nd Fleet loyalist named Arkot, an ex-captain of the Doenitz defeated Andorian Defense fleet. During his time aboard the Smuggler, he worked in main engineering and repaired an old Romulan cloaking device that was later used to elude a Doenitz loyal Starship.

Ahmed arrived on Starbase Geneva on Stardate 2407.02.09 nearly a full month after his graduation from the Academy in San Francisco. Once aboard Geneva Ahmed wasted no time reporting to the Nimitz.

Mission One: A Taste of Hate.

After his arrival on Starbase Geneva, Ahmed was assigned to assist in the investigation concerting an attack on the newly assigned Counselor Divon Lronen. During the course of the investigation, Ahmed was responsible for finding the weapon used in the assault on the counselor. He was reassigned to the Engineering Department to conduct repairs to the Nimitz as a result of a prior battle.

He reported to Main Engineering and watched in Horror as the current ACEO Lieutenant Miles Davis collapsed after contracting the engineered virus released on Geneva Station by the Terrorist Group Humans for Humanity.

Lieutenant Davis was the first member of the Nimitz crew to succumb to the virus and later died as a result of the illness.

Once it became known what was happening, Starbase Geneva and the USS Nimitz were quarantined to prevent further spreading of the virus. The result of the lock-down left Ahmed, newly arrived on the Nimitz as the senior Engineering Officer on the Nimitz, due to Commander Zzt becoming unable to leave the Starbase.

After Hromava, the Nimitz’s First Officer ordered all non-essential personnel to be restricted to quarters, Ahmed and Debbie Weston continued with the repairs to the Nimitz.

Later due to the fact that the virus had been introduced to the crew of the Nimitz, special quarantine areas were established in the ship’s cargo bay, on the orders of the First Officer. It was at this time that Salid discovered and attempt by desperate members of the ship’s crew to escape from the Cargo bay and potentially seize control of the Nimitz.

Ahmed participated in the actions to prevent a mutiny aboard ship.

For his efforts, Captain Devan Sash promoted him to Ensign Senior grade on Stardate 2407.02.17.

After his promotion Ahmed began a romantic relationship with Engineer Debbie Weston.

Mission Two: For a Friend.

Promoted to Chief Engineer

On Stardate 2407.03.07 Ahmed was promoted to the position of CEO for the USS Nimitz by Captain Devan Sash after it was discovered that Lieutenant Commander Zzt was to be transferred to a Special Theoretical Engineering Unit.

Later that same day, Ahmed would join Captain Sash and several other Nimitz Officers on an unsanctioned mission to Rescue Lieutenant Dru Tagon, a fellow Nimitzer. Tagon had been captured by Doenitz forces and sentanced to be executed. It was discovered that he was being held at Djorn Major XJ-003 to await the completion of his sentence. As the 52nd Fleet was stretched over a wide front in the battle against Deonitz forces, the Admiralty had decided that no vessels could be risked on the rescue. Despite orders to the contrary, Captain sash and several officers made a rendezvous with the IKS Hegh’delar a B’rel class scout and entered federation space with the intention of conducting a rescue of Dru Tagon.

Prior to the Arrival at Djorn Major XJ-003, Ahmed spent a considerable amount of effort and time designing material aids to assist in the assualt and hopefully give his small team a slight advantage against the station’s garrison. These gadgets included an armored cloaking armored EVA suit, modified from the available Klingon EVA suits, attuned to the Hegh’delar’s cloaking device; A series of poratable sensor ghost generators, and a mobile handheld command net inderdiction device which later allowed the crew limited access to the station’s main computer systems. Unfortunately despite successful tests of the stealth suits aboard the Hegh’delar, the stealth features seemed to mysteriously fail once aboard the station.

Djorn Major XJ-003

Upon their arrival at Djorn Major XJ-003, The 1st assault team used the Ferengi assault shuttle the Good Deal to pass through a gap in the Station’s ventral shields and after An EVA mission to establish a series of transport pattern enhancers, the Crew was aboard the Station.

Ahmed participated in the capture of the Central Computer core of the station in which action he killed a technician. Later in an attempt to disable the stations shields and weapons, he created a powerful plasma surge through the tactical systems. The end result was the unexpected explosion of the Station’s Ventral Shield Generator, which was responsible for extensive damage to the station and an unknown number of deaths among station presonnel.

Ahmed was injured twice during the mission. Once, he was hit with a phaser blast in the back fired by station security, which forced him to discard the upper portion of his armored EVA suit. Later he was injured in hand-to-hand combat with a member of Major Julian Wells’ marine unit assigned to guard Lieutenant Tagon. The marine stabbed Ahmed in the lower left arm.

The arrival of the Klingon assault forces from the Hegh’delar led by Doctor Jonas Lemar allowed the Nimitz crew to reach the Maximum Security Block and force Wells into an honorable ceasefire.

Ahmed and TJ Jackson worked together to drop the containment field holding Dru Tagon in his cell. Ahmed also managed to neutralize the explosive collar Tagon wore using the station’s transporter safety overrides. At Captain Devan Sash’s order Ahmed transported the assault team to safety, but not before Thom Hania had released an explosive grenade which is believed to have killed Major Julian Wells.

The crew escaped Djorn Major and returned to Starbase Geneva with Lieutenant Tagon. Remarkably, only two members of the rescue effort were killed in action, both were members of the Hegh’delar’s Klingon Marine Contingent led by Doctor Lemar. Later Ensign Thom Hania died under mysterious circumstances prior to the return to the Nimitz. Ensign Harry Doorman had survived an apparent attempt at suicide, although later it was discovered that his actions were influenced by the Revelation entity affecting Counselor Divon Lronen.

Surprisingly enough, no member of the Nimitz crew was punished for the undertaking of the unsanctioned rescue of Lieutenant Tagon, Except for Captain Sash.

For his efforts in the rescue of Lieutenant Tagon, Ahmed was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade on Stardate 2407.03.22

Mission Three: To Skin a Cat.

On Stardate 2407.03.22 the Nimitz received orders from the Admiralty to conduct a snap raid on Cait Prime (Ferasa) with the objective of verifying the existence and destroying a Doenitz research facility believed to be developing biogenetically altered Caitians for use as Super-Soldiers.

The USS Nimitz arrived in the Ferasa system and was surprised not to find any Doenitz Starships in orbit around the planet.

The away team consisted of the following participants Captain Devon Sash CTAC Eric McDermott AOPS Bill Jackson Engineer T'Kron Ensign Leesa Stanton COUNS Cecilia Bruce

as well as several junior members of the security, Science and Engineering departments of the Nimitz.

Upon Arrival on the planet, The Nimitz team Linked up with members of the CLF (Caitian Liberation Front) led by an adolescent Caitian named R'Aul. They also made contact with R'Serrott and Shayhiloosh, boith of which were involved in some manner with the facility that the Nimitz crew was sent to destroy.

The crew spent the night with their new found allies in the Caitain Village of Chtarr, where Ahmed participated in a complex and semi-violent game of Sarhket, which is used in some rural areas to resolve disagreements. The game turned out to be a test of the Nimitz crew's resolve to aid the Caitains in their struggle for liberation. Although Salid did not win, he earned the respect of the local CLF members and was accepted among them as a friend.

The following morning the away team, bolstered by their new additions in R'Serrott and Shayhiloosh and accompanied by A'Rul and members of the CLF, marched to and raided an automated train depot that would allow them covert entry to the Captial City of Knassis, only 30 miles away. The raid on the train depot went smoothly without incident.

Once the Train depot had been secured, The Nimitz away team hid themselves aboard the supply train and rode the conveyance to their target area. The train was stopped by members of the Local Militia when it was disocvered that a trap had been set for the Nimitz team. As a result The team hiking into the target area undetected and assaulted the underground complex where Doenitz loyalists were conducting illegal biogenetic and telepahic manipulation.

Once inside, the team split into two assault groups led by Lieutenant Salid and the other by Captain Sash.

The team led by sash seized the facilities transporters and assaulted the telepathic research facilities, While the second team under Lieutenant Salid assaulted the genetics labs and holding cells. Ahmed's group met light resistance and was able, with the help of Lieutenant Prothal, destroyed the research facilities beyond repair.

Meanwhile, Captain Sash's team came under attack by faciltiy security and were pinned down in a terrible crossfire. salid's team arrived in time to releive the captain's team ans the two teams then led the assault against the primary telepathic holding facility.

During the assault on that facility, The away team came under psychic attack, that caused some of their number to turn on their allies. Salid and several other officers managed to fight their way out of the control of the being designated, Patient Delta-Seven-Nine (Δ79). Δ79 killed his controller and then died of injuries inflicted upon him by the combined telepathic attacks of Cecelia Bruce and Eric McDermott.

Once the telepathic research facilities were neutralized, sash led the remainder of his team and the rescued test subjects from the facility to the city above.

When the word spread that there were Caitains in revolt, the entire planet rose up and threw off the yoke of the Doenitz Regime.

For his efforts, Ahmed was awarded the Combat Action Ribbon. He was promoted to Lieutenant Commander on Stardate 2407.03.29, when it was also announced that he had been selected as First officer of the USS Champlain.

Mission Four: Crossroads

---

After the completion of the mission on Cait Prime, Ahmed was promoted to the Rank of Lieutenant Commander and assigned to the USS Champlain, NCC 2170-C, A Galaxy Class variant. He reported to Geneva Station to Captain Susan Rivers, who had also just assumed command of the Champlain after the death of her Captain Edward Wolfe in a battle with the USS Wyvern. He assumed this position officially on Stardate 2407.04.02, despite the fact that the Champlain had not yet arrived at the Station as she was damaged during the battle. The Champlain was Commanded by Lieutenant Bree Frazier during the engagement with the Wyvern, which resulted in the other vessels capture thanks in no small part to the efforts of Lieutenant James Alexander and Lieutenant Jono Janeway.

Captain Rivers advised Lieutenant Commander Salid, of the impending assignment of the Champlain to participate in the final push of the civil war against Doenitz in an amassed attack on Sector 001. He was assigned to arrange drills and additional training for the crew while they remained in dock undergoing repairs.

Mission Five: Do Not Go Gently

On stardate 2407.06.25 Ahmed was advised by Captain Susan Rivers thatthey had finally receievd their orders to join the remainder of Task Force 19 assembling at Tellar. The Champlain had been completely overhauled and the ship and her crew were as ready as they could possibly be for the final battle against Doenitz forces guarding sector 001

On Stardate: 2407.07.03 Ahmed and the entire Command Staff of the USS Champlain were briefed on the plans to Attack Sector 001 and earth in a final bid to bring an end to the bloody and tenacious Federation Civil War. This Briefing was conducted by Rear Admiral Sevant, Former captain of the USS Boudicca and the Task Force Commander of Task Force 19, ordered to breach the famous Mars defense Perimeter designed to hold of a Borg Invasion.

Read Ahmed's Reaction and thoughts to the mission Briefing Here: Task Force Nineteen Briefing.

Even as the crew of the Champlain begin gearing for the coming battle, Hundreds of ships were converging at Tellar in preparation for the massive offensive.

The assignment given to the Champlain was simple in concept but exceptionall complex in practice. The task force was broken into four smaller battle groups and the remaining bulk of the taskforce, consisting of the USS Boudicca (commanding group B), the USS Champlain (commanding group C), the USS Argyle (commanding Group A), The USS Hades(commanding group D). The Boudicca was tasked to breach the MDF and assault and capture Starbase Valhalla in an attempt to shut down the MDF and allow the remainder of Task Force 19 to bypass the MDF without further losses. The USS Champlain, Hades, and Nimitz were ordered to support the operation of the Boudicca, with the Champlain being specifically tasked with screening the Boudicca and her Battlegroup from enemy raiders.

File:Rosenante-Alt-3up.jpg

With the civil war over and the Champlain lost, Ahmed was assigned as Acting First Officer of the USS Hypatia under the command of Acting Captain Susan Rivers.

The Hypatia underwent repairs and participated in some limited recovery work inside the Sol System.

Salid visited his uncle in Cairo, where he met Jasmin Mohandas. An ex-ACMO from the USS Pangaea (a Doenitz ship from the 1st Fleet) when she saved him from a mob that attacked him because he was wearing his starfleet uniform. Ahmed discovered that his uncle had been interred and had suffered torture at the hand of Doenitz fundamentalists as a result of his nephew's involvement with the Sedition.

Ahmed spoke at a tribunal hearing for Lieutenant Mohandas, urging the tribunal to exercise mercy. Miss Mohandas was found innocent of all charges of murder during the battle, but was found guilty of Medical Negligence. She lost one grade in rank as a result.

Ahmed reconsiled with his uncle after the two men had an argument about his potential resignation from Starfleet to attend to his uncle's health needs.

Salid visited his ex-shipmates from the Nimitz who had been reassigned to the USS Hades. There he and Debbie Weston spoke about the future of their past relationship and about the loss of the USS Nimitz.

After a crushing declaration by Commander Josel, Chief of Personnel for Sector 001 that Ahmed was not qualified to serve in the capacity of First Officer; he was assigned to the Engineering operations Officers aboard Starbase Valhalla on Stardate 2408.01.04. This assignment did not last for long, however. Captain Susan rivers acting on the authority of Admiral Linden, ordered Ahmed reassigned to the USS Rosenante, as her First officer.

Ahmed and Captain Rivers beamed aboard the Rosenante on stardate 2408.01.06 to assume command from the Acting CO Commander Ian MacBeth.

Mission Seven: A Fine and Private Place

Davros III

The USS Rosenante passed her space worthiness trials without a glitch and was assigned their very first mission, to survey planets for recolonization of the survivors of the Colony of Ivor Prime. The Rosenante took on the administrator of the colony and set off for the Optima System in hopes of finding a planet suitable for the colonists. The Rosenante departed for her official maiden Voyage on Stardate 2408.01.15. The Ceremony was officiated by Admiral Hesper Linden.

On Stardate 2408.01.21 the Rosenante received a disturbing distress signal from the Federation freighter the Sky of Tomorrow.

The Third Officer, Olen Rhinehardt altered course and alerted the captain and crew to the situation. The Sky of Tomorrow's signal was traced to the orbit of Davros III, A Federation Mining Colony.

Read the The Distress Call Post

The Rosenante arrived at the scene only three hours later. Attempts to hail the freighter were not successful. An away team was beamed aboard and to their horror uncovered signs of a violent and bloody conflict. They also encountered an animated dismembered hand. This hand was quarantined and studied upon the return of the away team to the Rosenante, where it was discovered that the hand was infested with a nanite colony derived from Borg nanoprobes.

Ahmed led an away team down to the planet's surface to search for survivors, when he returned to the Rosenante without three of his security team, Ahmed offered this summary to the Captain:

---

Ahmed followed the Captain into the ready room. As always the Captain was incredibly calm, ~But then again,~ Ahmed reminded himself, ~she hadn't just been chased by an indeterminable number of corpses animated by Borg nanites… Or something like that~

"Sit down, Ahmed," she said, and headed for the replicator. Without asking, she ordered two cups of Ahmed's special Turkish coffee and a plate of pastries. She sat them down on the table between them and said. "You can talk as you eat," she ordered, sliding the plate a little closer to him. "I can tell by your face it's not good news, so let's hear it. What did you find down there?"

"It's hard to be clear, so bear with me." Ahmed said as he added a little goat's milk to his coffee and took a sip. "When we arrived in the town square, everything was quiet. It was just like one of those wild west ghost towns that you read about in the history books. All it was missing was the tumble weed."

"We located the residence of doctor Lawson and there we found what appeared to the remains of a lab. It was very obvious that some of the equipment had been moved elsewhere. From that lab there were two almost parallel tunnels leading downward toward the mine. As you know that was when I ordered Lieutenant Janeway, chief fuller and a second security team down to the planet. The idea was that the two teams could each explore one of the tunnels and possibly locate any survivors or clues faster."

He picked up one of the pastries and took a bite. The orange marmalade was exceptionally good and Ahmed then realized how hungry he really was. He took a sip of his coffee to wash it down.

"We searched for several hours without any sign at all of the miners. For a while there, I was even beginning to wonder if all 1500 of them had somehow managed to leave the planet. We came to a junction and heard what I could only describe as weapons fire. I ordered the team down the tunnel to the source as quickly as possible which opened into a cavern."

"When we arrived, there was an… individual there, a member of the Opthidian species, who was defending himself from some of the miners. It was apparent that he had killed at least ten or twelve of them already. We announced ourselves and ordered the fighting to stop, but instead of being attacked by the visitor as I had originally expected to be, it was the miner's that attacked us."

"Heavy stun doesn't have much affect on them. Even the kill setting isn't very effective. We lost Abernathy in that fight. He was infected by some sort of black ooze, which we were later informed was a nanite colony."

"The Opthidian's name is Sharott Nachook and he explained a great deal to us concerning what was happening on that colony."

Ahmed ate some more of his pastry and drank a little more of his coffee.

"His people encountered the Borg roughly 500 standard years ago. Apparently their physiology doesn't allow them to be assimilated by Borg Technology. They fought a war and in the end the Borg left them alone. The Opthidian scientists had dissected several Borg drones during the war and had discovered a way to modify the Borg nanoprobes for their own medical uses. This continued for some time until eventually, the Borg nanoprobes developed some sort of colony-like hive mind and became self-aware. They began to dominate living members of the Opthidian species against their will and when the realization struck, the Opthidian government tried to destroy the nanites."

"The nanites adapted again in a very grotesque manner. They began killing their hosts and maintaining the bodies after death until they were no longer viable. The Opthidian homeworld had to be biologically sterilized to prevent them from spreading. From what I can gather eventually the Opthidians captured the original colony which they refer to as the matriarch and imprisoned it pending it's destruction."

"Now here's where the details get a bit sketchy." Ahmed said then took another sip of his coffee.

"At some point in the recent past, the Ferengi somehow managed to steal this imprisoned nanite colony and transport it here, where it is believed they sold it to Doctor Lawson. The good doctor is an expert on Borg nanotechnology and was living here with her young daughter, who was very ill with an incurable ailment according to Doctor Caskie"

"We can surmise that Lawson conducted some experiments, maybe even infecting her daughter either with the knowledge that these nanites were self-aware or in ignorance. Regardless of what she knew, that seems the most logical means that this infection was spread. From there, the nanites took over members of the community exponentially until every member was a member of the colony."

"Mister Nachook's people tracked the Ferengi here. They claim to have destroyed the Ferengi ship and admit to attacking Mister Raschen's ship in an attempt to maintain some semblance of quarantine. It seems that after their losses in the battle, they withdrew, possibly to conduct repairs when we arrived in the system."

"They had dropped Nachook and perhaps a couple of others on the planet with the mission to find and destroy the nanite breeding pool, where apparently the matriarch lives. Mister Nachook claims that destroying her will result in the demise of all her immediate offspring as they are dependant on her for their cognitive abilities."

"Just shortly after all this data was given by Nachook, Jono shows up with what is left of Beta team. He was injured and we gathered that they were surrounded and attacked by a large mass of infected miners. They lost Milano during their escape."

"Nachook advised Caskie at that time that he carries some sort of viral weapon in his body that will wipe out the entire biosphere of the planet and make it uninhabitable for roughly 200 standard years. He is confident that the weapon will kill all the nanites present by depriving them of biological hosts and will kill anyone that should set foot there as well and prevent the nanites from managing to get off world."

Ahmed finished his coffee and sat it on the table. "The catch is that Nachook was injured and some sort of biological process has started that will result in his death and the release of the virus in an uncertain amount of time. Doctor Caskie is confident that she can extract the virus, saving Nachook and that the virus can them be delivered to the planet via modified Photon torpedo, where it will destroy the biosphere and end the threat of it spreading from this planet."

"We had to fight our way out of those tunnels. We lost Hezan there. I vaporized him myself."

Ahmed looked into River's eyes, before continuing. "I've seen a lot of terrible things Captain, but I can not describe to you the sheer terror and fear that these things inspire. I am not a blood thirsty person, but these things need to be eradicated with all due prejudice."

"That said it was my assessment, after my experience on the planet, that these nanites should be treated like a biological outbreak and should be eradicated before they place millions or even billions more at risk. I have ordered Caskie to proceed with her plan after she assured me that she could prevent it from spreading across the ship should there be a mishap. I believe that we have no recourse and that we should treat these nanites as we would Borg. There is no hope of negotiation and that any encounter will result in the supplantation of one species over the other at the complete eradication of the prior."

"To carry through with this, I furthermore, recommend that we transport the nanite-filled hand back to the Sky of Tomorrow and that we undertake steps to destroy it and the freighter as well."

---

Captain Rivers agreed with Salid's assessment and ordered the plan carried out. At 2045 hours the orders were given to deploy the viral torpedo and the planet of Davros III was sterilized. The freighter was destroyed shortly thereafter and Mister Nachook was returned to his ship.

The Rosenante seeded five quarantine probes around the planet before departing to complete their original mission.

On Stardate: 2408.01.25 Captain Rivers was ordered to Starbase Geneva to give evidence for a war crimes tribunal. She was advised that she would not be returning to the command of the Rosenante and Commander Salid was promoted to the rank of Captain and given command of the USS Rosenante.

Mission Eight: Letters of Marques

After the transfer of captain Rivers to the Boudicca, Ahmed is promoted to captain of the Rosenante.

Arturia Prime

It turns out that his first test as captain will place his ship and crew well outside the boundaries of Federation Space.

The Mission began with a communication from Admiral Talbot of Starfleet intelligence.

Prince Khamal, the hereditary leader of the Meldovian people had been kidnapped on the eave of a peace treaty that would bring an end to a 400 year old war between the Meldovian and Arturian factions (both of the Cartenian race).

While traveling to Arturia Prime from Meldovia III to conclude the peace treaty, Orion pirates and slavers attacked the Prince's convoy and took the Prince and many other Meldovians prisoner.

At the request of the Vulcan Arbiter T'Val, Admiral Talbot assigned the USS Rosenante to the task of locating and recovering the Prince before the peace negotiations fail.

Salid is order to rendezvous with the Arbiter and take on an Arturian, Meldovian and the Vulcan delegations. He is then ordered to proceed into Orion space and locate and rescue the Prince.

Using their untried cloaking system, the HISS system, the Rosenante sliped into Orion Space to begin their investigation at the heart of the Orion Syndicate's notorious slave markets on Barakos IV.

Three away teams are sent to the surface to procure supplies, search for clues to the Prince and gather intelligence.

One of the away teams is tasked with the acquisition of a Orion style shuttle craft to be used in future phases of the mission. This team consisting of the first officer, Janeway, Lt. Dralar, and the CEO Lt. Paul Bird succeed in their mission, but not before Lt. Bird is killed in a senseless brawl by an individual using a poisoned blade.

Bird is transported back to the ship, but the poison works quickly and he is not able to be revived.

the second away team, consisting of Lt. Ro'Dal, Ensign Weaver, PFC Nunez and Lt. Caskie, and Ensign T'Kron search for Meldovians among the slave pens of the market. they are successful in rescuing three Meldovians and a Half-Orion/Half-Betazoid woman named Sodra, who claims to have information concerning the whereabouts of the prince.

Sodra turns out to have no information at all, instead using her telepathic powers to pluck a few relative pieces of information from Weaver. However, she has done no harm and is restricted to quarters until such time as her disposition can be determined.

Ro'Dal and Caskie do recover three Meldovians with the aid of a new ally, Nodel, who is an amthropoid, a species not yet discovered by the UFP. Their new ally leads them directly to the last three Meldovian slaves in the marketplace.

The Slave Market on Barakos IV

The third away team, consisting of Lt. Sullivan, Ensign Raschen, and Chief Sheridan make contact with Raschen's grandfather, a reputed Bounty hunter by the name of "Easy Ed" Raschen. They get a solid lead on whom may have the prince, an slaver named O'Banyan at Xanadu Gothos.

Once all three teams have returned to the ship, the senior staff question those that were brought aboard at Barakos IV.

It rapidly becomes apparent that there was a spy within the Prince's circle of advisors, and that information, coupled with the discovery of an encrypted message into Orion space originating from the Rosenante, leads to speculation that there is now an enemy spy aboard the Rosenante as well.

Maddox and Weaver are given the task to decrypt the message in the hopes of discovering it's origins.

With information acquired from Nodel it is determined that there was a Meldovian of some importance shipped to Haldor II. While it is unknown if this is the Prince, it is worth investigating and so the Captain orders course set and the Rosenante underway to the Haldor system.

Morella Pirate Queen

En route, the Holographic marine Program, Ramirez, suddenly activates and attempts to assassinate the Captain and several other key members of the ship's senior staff.

Chaos ensues as the crew struggle to regain control of the ship's computers and disable the hologram from operating. It quickly becomes apparent that the saboteur is responsible.

Meanwhile Nodel confides in Ro'Dal that he has heard the voice of a slaver on the ship. This voice he insists is the exact same voice that he heard near the Meldovian cells on Barakos IV.

Nodel and Ro'Dal hatch a plan to potentially identify their would-be slaver and set the plan into action.

With several of the ship's systems off-line, as a result of Ensign Weavers attempt to stop the holographic marine by disengaging the Cochrane Accelerator field in the main computer and then physically destroying the holographic buses with a hand phaser, the Rosenante takes refuge inside an asteroid belt to avoid detection while the stealth systems and other ship's critical systems are repaired.

Once those repairs are completed, the ship continues on to Haldor II, where their sensors detect the presence of a living facility protected by an environmental shield.

With no ships in the immediate vicinity, Ahmed orders the ship into a geosynchronous orbit and tasks Lt. Sullivan, Ensign Weaver, lieutenant Matrix and Lieutenant Caskie to accompany a security team to the surface with the intentions of rescuing the single Meldovian life-sign found on the planet.

After recovering the Meldovian from the planet Haldor II, it became quickly apparent that the individual that they had acquired was a traitorous captain who had been responsible for the ease of the Prince's kidnapping.

Having no other choice the captain ordered the new prisoner interrogated and the Rosenante to set course for Torven III. The only other lead that they had to the possible whereabouts of the Prince's location.

Once arriving in the Torven System, Salid opens negotiations with the trader Doyle O'Banyan, And ex-marine turned smuggler and slave trader. In return for a promise to aid in his rehabilitation, Salid agrees to accept O'Banyan's assistance in recovering the prince. The Trader had already secretly sent an assault group against Morella in the hopes that they could acquire the Prince.

Surprisingly, the assault works and the Prince as well as O'Banyan's missing daughter is recovered, allowing the Rosenante to return back to Federation Space in time to guarantee the successful signing of the Peace between the Meldovian and Arturians and the formal formation of the Cartenian Commonwealth.

Thier mission completed, the Rosenante heads to Geneva for some R&R and After action inspections.

Mission Nine: Furlough

The crew of the Rosenante is granted Furlough, while critical inspections concerning the Spiral drive are undertaken. Captain Salid is forced to demote Lieutenant Janeway by BUPERS from the position of first officer and is assigned a newly promoted Lieutenant Commander Caskie to the position.

The Rosenante also takes on some new senior Crew. Ahmed is reunited with Tom Jackson with whom he served aboard the Nimitz, in the position of Chief of Operations. Additionally the arrival of Lieutenant Nayati to fill the position of Chief Counselor and third Officer is a welcomed event.

In other news, Salid is saddened by the transfer of Lieutenant Ro'Dal who has been reassigned to the USS Mithrandir.

The Captain and his new FO go for a holographic sailing trip on the Mediterranean in a get to know you cruise, and Salid approves Sullivan's departure for the Advanced Tactical Theories Academy on Andoria.

Mission Ten: Fields of Elysium

Part I: The Mission

In Mid 2408 the USS Rosenante was assigned to explore a newly discovered region of space that exited from the Tau Sigma Flow of the Subspace River. This region had been discovered by an unmanned survey probe and opened into the Beltanis Stellar Nursery.

When the Rosenante arrived, the captain decided to move into the nebula in the hopes of exploring an undocumented phenomenon. This phenomenon turned out to be an exceptionally rare event known as a Subspace Bubble. Unfortunately, the bubble burst slamming the vessel with a Class Six Gravimetric Wave.

The Rosenante was terribly damaged; suffering irreparable damage to the ship's Main Deflector Array and Power distribution network. With the ship's shields failing, the vessel hurriedly returned to the safe-zone at the terminus of the Subspace river.

After a couple of days of assessment and around-the-clock repairs, it was determined that the Rosenante would not be able to return to Federation space via the Subspace River, as they could not open the river terminus without the use of their Navigational Deflector.

Part II: The Distress Call

USS Epiphany

On their third day in the Nursery the Rosenante detected an automated federation Distress beacon. despite the fact that it was unlikely that any other federation starships were in the area, Captain Salid decided that the Rosenante should investigate.

The beacons prefix identification was finally determined to belong to the the USS Epiphany a Nova Class starship registry NCC-913081, which had been declared lost with all hands on Stardate 2392.01.19 (17 years prior.)

When the Rosenante responded, they discovered not the Epiphany, but The Harvester.

The Harvester then proceeded to lock the Rosenante in a Tractor beam like grasp, scan the vessel and transport the Rosenante into the area of the vessel known as the Bone Yard.

Part III: Inside the Harvester

The arrival inside The Harvester was anything but accommodating. Upon their rematerialization, the Rosenante was immediately attacked by a group inhabiting the Harvester known as the Hur'q. These insect-like creatures are those once referred to in ancient Klingon History as an invader that once tried to conquer the Klingon home world of Qo'noS.

The attack came in the form of a small group of raiders that took advantage of the newly arrived ship's lack of shields (disrupted by the transport into the Harvester).

Several small groups of assault troops were beamed aboard the Rosenante and these groups managed to tag and steal several supplies from cargo bays as well as a few pieces of minor equipment before they were expelled from the ship. During the skirmish it was determined that the Hur'q were immune to the heavier stun settings on Federation Phasers, and so the crew and security personnel were forced to use the higher level kill and disintegrate settings.

The Engineering team managed to restore their ship's only moments after the Hur'q retreated from the ship, although the invaders took all of their dead and it was believed all of the Rosenante dead as well.

Part IV: The Anti-Hur'q Alliance

The Bastion

The Rosenante was contacted by the Nechani ship, NSS Oracle's Tears and a meeting was arranged aboard the Bastion.

The Anti-Hur'q Alliance was assembled and comprised of the leaders from the following Species as well as Ambassador Anna Morgan:

The Nechani

The Sky Spirits

The Kobali

The Hunters

The Rosenante Delegation was lead by Commander Jennifer Caskie and was comprised of the following personnel.

Lieutenant T'Larah Sullivan

Lieutenant Chance Raschen

Ensign V'Shera

Ensign Dorian Weaver

Lieutenant Jon Nayati

Lieutenant Thomas Jackson

As well as a few security personnel.

Near the end of the negotiations the meeting was attacked by Hur'q raiders who activated a Transport Inhibitor to trap the Leaders of the alliance in the Bastion. Only Ji'yala had left prior to their arrival.

Part V: The Aftermath

The aftermath of the battle on the bastion was substantial. The Rosenante Crew lost both Weaver and Sullivan who were killed by Hur'q. Additionally Nayati was missing and Raschen was critically injured. With such critical officers out of commission, killed or missing, the Rosenante crew are forced to adapt to fill their leadership positions. it later is learned that Nayati was 'saved' by the Sky Spirit leader Chaska during the battle.

It is also suspected that the Kobali may be responsible for the missing bodies of the dead crew.

Unknown to the Rosenante crew, Sullivan's body has undergone the reclamation and is now a member of the Kobali race.

Among those skilled in the battle among the non-Rosenante crew is the Sky Spirit Chief Nekawana and several hunters. Ambassador Morgan has been recovered by members of the Rosenante crew and is currently in sick bay.

Part VI: The Epiphany

A survey team lead by Lieutenant Marrow has beamed aboard the Epiphany to begin the survey of her systems in the hopes of reclaiming critical components and salvaging her Main Deflector. Over the course of the next month and a half the Engineering crew of the Rosenante, with assistance from their new alliance members, manage to salvage the Main deflector array and get it installed and operational aboard the USS Rosenante.

Part VII: The Alliance & Escape

The Escape Alliance is formed and all the various species within the Bone Yard of The Harvester are dedicated to working together to achieve escape. Lieutenant Alimi Morrow leads a mixed engineering team into the bowels of the Harvester with the goal of disabling the devices Transporters and Tractor beams. That mission is successful.

Additionally the engineering teams work around the clock to modify the Rosenante's Spiral Warp drive to emit Phased particles.

Using this drive and stabilizing the field with the newly restored navigational array, the Allies are able to escape the Harvester. The allies then parts ways on friendly terms.

Mission Ten: Homecoming

The Rosenante returns to Starbase Geneva

After escaping from The Harvester the USS Rosenante returns to Starbase Geneva for repairs and to give the crew some much needed downtime after their ordeal.

During the three month refit, several members of the crew go on extended leave. Among those is Lieutenant Commander Jennifer Caskie whose return to her Home in Scotland is under less than ideal circumstances. Her trip is one of necessity rather than desire. She is escorting home the body of her long dead husband Donald Caskie, who was a member of the USS Epiphany crew. Event though he had been decalred dead nearly two decades earlier, it was disovered that Donald was actually reclaimed by the Kobali aboard the Harvester. His second death too place during a failed attempt to restore himself to his former life after successfuly restoring Lieutenant T'Larah Sullivan to her previous Vulcan / Human heritage after she was killed and reclaimed by the Kobali after a Hur'q raid.

Additionally, Chance Raschen and T'Larah Sullivan are accompanied by Lietenant T'Kron to Vulcan where they will participate in the ancient Vulcan ritual of Fal-tor-pan. raschen is the recipient of Sullivan's Katra after she transferred to him just prior to her death at the hand of a Hur'q subcommander.

Meanwhile back aboard the Rosenante, the ship puts on a masquarade party to help revieve some work related tensions. This party is hosted by Lieutenant Thomas Jackson. Councilor Jon Nayati ,the ship's third officer, attends as does Ensign Mitena Rixx, Head nurse Katherine 'Kitty' Fisher and Doctor Sam Lopez.

Elsewhere, Captain Ahmed Ibn Salid enjoys a nice relaxing leave on Bracas V where he enjoys some snorkling and sailing. His trip, however is cut short by a mysterious visit from a Dominion Vorta named Julman and an attending group of Jem'Hadar soldiers. He isn't seriously injured although one of the Jem'Hadar are less than pleasant. Other than the initial disagreement, the remainder of the meeting goes along well enough. Julman reveals a terrible peice of information to Salid.

The content of that secret will drive him to consider taking the Rosenante off mission. Is hea leading his ship and crew into a possible Dominion trap or is there a possibility that the information that the Vorta revealed could be true. If it is true, the very future of the Alpha Quadrant may be at risk.

A few days prior to the relaunch of the Rosenante, Sullivan is promoted to Lieutenant Commander, Raschen to Full Lieutenant and Caskie to Full Commander.

Mission Eleven: Into the Darkness, Go I

Coming Soon.

Mirror Universe Salid

Ahmed Ibn Salid of the Mirror Universe is a much different man than the one from our universe. The differences begin early on in his life.

As a teenager, Ahmed showed a distinct aptitude for Engineering. His status was that of a child prodigy, and he was actually trained as an engineer in the hopes that he would serve in the Imperial Engineering Corps developing weapons and new technology. He graduated from his classes with honors and was assigned to the ISS Templar, Where he served as an Assistant Chief Engineer. He quickly began to make his way up the chain through deceit or assassination until he reached the rank of Lieutenant and the position of Chief Engineer.

His career was cut short however, when it was discovered that his Father was involved in the planned assassination of the Empire's Klingon Regent. In retaliation, Salid was arrested and shipped to the Boronite mines on Bardon Alpha. It was there during his incarceration that he met the future regent Rodrigo Doentiz.

Together the two men worked in the mines until the opportunity arose to escape. When that day came, the two men led a slave revolt against the penal colony's guards. The campaign was swift and brutal, and with the aid of a rebel ship captain, Devan Sash, the two men escaped along with a small cadre of officers, including Saleke, Zachary Falthgood and T'Vhor. Later this group would eventually seize control of the leadership of the Terran Rebellion and later the puppet Government of Earth.

Salid was promoted to Captain of the ISS Rosenante which became the Flag ship for the newly reformed and reorganized Imperial Union of Planets. His new role put him into direct conflict with several KCA starships, honing his abilities and reputation as an extraordinarily brutal ship commander. His complete dedication and loyalty to Regent Doenitz and the IUP guaranteed his quick rise to a position of power.

In 2408, Ahmed was assigned the task to deploy the Omega Device against a KCA task force gathering at Sunali II. The weapon was deployed and it destroyed the enemy ships as well as the traitorous planet, which had defected to the KCA. The ISS Rosenante was thrown through a dimensional rift into the normal universe.
