Fleet Update

The USS Spectre is currently running at reduced capability after the attack it sustained in orbit of Vedea IV. It is now in pursuit of a hostile vessel that is seemingly equipped with the outlawed ETHOS system, thus making it capable of assuming any ships identity, right down to registry and videocom output. Major Kowalski is running point duty on board the Marine Trojan and has just intercepted a distress call from the USS Dauntless, which claims to have been attacked by the Spectre. Needless to say that cannot be so, evidently the USS Dauntless has been attacked by the same ship that attacked, and then assumed the Spectre's identity, it's goal is uncertain but it is imperitive now that it be stopped lest it makes it's way back into the Sol system to wreak havok in the very heart of Starfleet Command.

Current Mission Overview

The USS Spectre has been sent to the ocean world of Vedea IV located in the Falconer system. It's remit is to escort valuable algae used for the treatment of many illnesses and ailments. However, this algae has found other value in the form of a narcotic by-product prized by bandits in the area. Whilst in orbit of Vedea IV, the Captain and a few of his officers beam down for negotiations only to learn soon after that the Spectre has been attacked by an unknown vessel matching an ETHOS configuration. The ship is downed and brought to rest beneath Vedea IV's ocean, leaving the crew to battle hostile raiders and return the ship to orbit. Their ultimate goal, to pursue the strange ship and stop it from achieving whatever goal it has set itself.

Status Report

"Captain's log, Stardate 2414.04.04 - 21:17 hours"

It is with regret today that I must announce the departure or loss of a number of our crew due to the attack sustained earlier in orbit of Vedea IV. It would seem that the cowardly ambush by the ETHOS vessel claimed more than we had first suspected, Lieutenant Commander Capps, Lieutenant Adams and a number of other crew have either been lost or injured beyond return to service."

The USS Dauntless is now being tendered by the Aggamemnon, her warp engines are back online and the crew is returning to a servicable condition ready for departure to Starbase Geneva for full evaluation of the damage sustained, and disembark of our injured crew. Admiral Alexander has indicated that Starfleet command is currently in a state of expectational readiness both in, and around the Sol sector and confidence is high that we will detect the ETHOS vessel, before it has a chance to execute whatever plan it has gone there to achieve.

I have hereby promoted Lieutenant Walker Isengard to the role of Acting Tactical Security Chief, and will request his presence on the bridge upon arrival at Sol. It is my opinion that his Empathic abilities may be of assistance in locating the vessel in question once we arrive in the Sol sector."

Against all the odds, it would seem also that Lieutenant H'Chir, despite information to the contrary, is now able to return to his role as CEO. One never ceases to be amazed at the recuperative powers of the Andorian physiology, and of H'Chir in particular.....his resolve is to be commended. Append to existing, close 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. Commander Andrew Williams is her current First Officer.

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? :)
