Fleet Update
Written by JP B
The newest ship in the fleet prepares for its great adventure as it embarks on a mission of exploration on the fringes of the Beta Quadrant. Join the USS Champlain on its mission!
Missions
Worlds Once Lost
After spending a week getting the ship and crew ready for their mission, and ironing the bugs out of the new ship, it is finally ready to unveil the mission...
The USS Champlain is dispatched to the area of the Typhon Expanse to investigate Ivor Prime.
Ivor Prime was a former Federation colony destroyed by the Borg in 2373. The former colony is to be surveyed and a report on the suitability for recolonization is to be sent in to Admiral Lodona. As this is on the fringes of areas of Borg sightings, as well as being in an area strategically important to Admiral Doenitz, the danger is high.
Deep Space Five
En route to Ivor Prime, the Champlain found itself diverted to take Deep Space 5 for Lodona.
Stardate: 2407.03.04 -by GrannyGM
A small away team comprised of Ensigns Derrick LaQua, SO; Olen Rhinehart, Couns; T’Larah Sullivan, ATAC/ASC; and Brianna Frazier; Ops, and led by Captain Edward Wolfe, has been dispatched on a classified mission to secure the strategically important DS5 for Lodona’s 52nd Fleet. The objective is infiltrate the station, and then to convince its Andorian commander, Captain U'gaeth, a Doenitz loyalist, to step down. He will be replaced by the station’s First Officer, who is aligned with Lodona. The specially modified, moderately disguised shuttle in which the team is approaching the station is also carrying weapons for Lodona’s forces.
The mission appears fairly simple. If all goes as planned, the takeover will be bloodless. The team is as well-prepared as possible, but with the exception of Captain Wolfe, they are all green. Wolfe is more aware than the rest of his fresh team how a simple seeming mission can go awry.
Stardate: 2407.03.05
The Champlain's mission to liberate Deep Space 5 was a success. Appended below is Counsellor Olen Rhinehart's mission report, detailing his perspective on the operation.
Title: Post-Mission Report
Stardate: 2407.03.05
Author: Ensign (JG) Olen Rhinehart
Division: Counselling
S/N: DB-766-104
Report begins:
A small team led by Captain Edward Wolfe, and including myself, was tasked with the liberation of space station Deep Space 5 from the command of Captain U'Gaeth, who had declared himself loyal to Doenitz. My role on the team was that of negotiator, and my mission profile was to facilitate the handover of the station and U'Gaeth's surrender with a minimum of bloodshed.
We were to infiltrate the station covertly, and to that end, our shuttlecraft was disguised as one of the station's own, heavily damaged and in need of assistance. Ensigns Frazier and Sullivan were to be beamed aboard on approach, exploiting a small shield flaw, and disable the station's shields entirely, allowing the shuttlecraft to dock with the station. From there, Frazier and Sullivan were to make contact with the station's FO, Anne Tilden - a LoDona loyalist - and support her in taking command of the station.
Myself, Captain Wolfe and Ensign LaQua were to covertly capture the station's communications centre, allowing LaQua to scramble the universal translators, effectively neutralising the ability of station security to co-ordinate efforts against us. From there we were to proceed to the command module and persuade the Andorian Captain U'Gaeth to stand down and allow us to take him into custody.
With this aim in mind, I researched and compiled a dossier of media coverage, eyewitness accounts and 52nd Fleet reports detailing the genocide committed by Admiral Doenitz – paying particular attention to his sacking of Andoria, Captain U'Gaeth's homeworld, and capital of the Andorian Empire.
My plan was to use this material to undermine U'Gaeth's loyalty to Doenitz by confronting him with the horror of what had happened to his people, and then guarantee the safety of his family in exchange for his peaceful co-operation.
We made our way to the communications suite without incident, leading us to believe that we had not yet been discovered. However, as soon as we were inside, the doors were sealed, trapping us, and toxic gas was pumped into the room through the ventilation ducts. While Ensign LaQua worked on the translators, I was ordered by Captain Wolfe to attempt to plug the vents while he tried to open the door. I improvised a method of blocking the vents using bandages from an emergency medical kit, but picked up an injury in the process. Ensign LaQua succeeded in disrupting communications, and Captain Wolfe abandoned efforts to open the door, since security forces had been dispatched to our location. Instead we made our escape into the station's Jefferies tubes. I was forced to utilise emergency painkillers in order to continue and not jeapordise the mission.
After a lengthy climb, we found ourselves at the command module where LoDona-loyal Fifth Columnists were in a protracted firefight with U'Gaeth's forces, having tipped their hand. Pinned down by phaser fire, we joined the battle - until I spotted U'Gaeth attempting to escape to a turbolift. Assisted by a Fifth Columnist, I was able to stun him and bring him to cover.
Upon reviving him, Captain U'Gaeth was initially hostile and refused to co-operate. However, once he was shown proof of Doenitz's crimes against sentience, he was quickly pacified. At this point, I became aware of the price that my plan had exacted – we had taken the station with a minimum of bloodshed, but U'Gaeth's will was utterly, perhaps irrevocably, broken.
At that point, the station passed into the hands of Commander Tilden, and we departed aboard our shuttlecraft for the Champlain. There, the stress of the mission and the pain of my injury quickly overwhelmed me and I passed out. Upon waking in the Champlain's sickbay, I learned that I had suffered a severe allergic reaction to the emergency painkillers I had used. I also learned that the Champlain had been involved in a protracted stand-off with the Doenitz-loyal USS Wyvern. However, details of this encounter remain unknown to me at this juncture.
Recommendations: Captain U'Gaeth is now in 52nd Fleet custody charged with, among other things, sedition and treason. I make the recommendation that he be carefully monitored in the days and weeks to come. The knowledge of the Andoria's devastation – as well as his own poor judgement in siding with Doenitz – will prove difficult to come to terms with. I consider him a high suicide-risk, and he should be allowed contact with his family with all possible haste in order to avert that possibility.
