Fleet Update

The ship has now entered the Antarchus system and is four hours distant from the last known coordinates of the Borg transmission. Our mission specialist, Doctor Samantha Gunnell has detected field variations in the Subspace River's base signature, indicating that Borg interference of the core matrix is now taking place. If the Borg achieve active assimilation of the rivers control mechanisms, then the outlook for the Federation is at best, bleak.... Catastrophic at worst. Only time will tell what the outcome will be - and time tells no lies.

Current Mission Overview

The USS Spectre has been ordered by fleet command to a state of urgent mission readiness, all leave has been duly cancelled pending departure for the Zeta Gellis Cluster (the outermost marker of the subspace river) for a possible encounter with a familiar and deadly foe. Under strict orders not to discuss their mission specifics from fleet command itself, rumours are now circulating amongst the crew of a possible Borg involvement to this mission. Consequently, tension is high and understandably so. What will the Spectre crew find upon their arrival? Will it be all that they fear or will it all just prove to be rumour after all? Stay tuned....

Status Report

"Captain's log supplemental... Stardate 2408.06.08 - 11:47 hundred hours"

"The ship is now sitting twenty thousand kilometres from the subspace river after suffering what appears to be an attack either from something within it's construct, or by the river itself. We have suffered minimal damage but have unfortunately lost one crewman, Ensign Nantz from a plasma leak occuring in one of our forwards maintainence crawlways"

"Doctor Gunnell has now interfaced with the river via a modified class IV probe, her current evaluation is that the river has an organic component with similarities to a DNA helix, and that the Borg have somehow initiated execution of it's primary program, thus initiating it's current behaviour............... I am loathe to accept the somewhat illogical notion that the river is alive, however I cannot deny that it is acting in a manner indicative of a lifeform due to it's reaction to external stimuli"

"Of the four Borg drones brought aboard the Spectre for analysis and de-assimilation, two have self terminated, the other two, Lieutenant Donaldsons wife amongst them have survived de-assimilation, but are at present uncooperative and obstructive to all attempts to initiate constructive furtherment of our situation.... I have asked Lieutenant Donaldson to work with the drone known as 'Judith', in the hope that he may encourage dormant memory engrams within her mind, thus increasing the likelihood of a return to some sort of normality for her"

"Captain Talasario of the science vessel USS Humboldt is now in attendance as requested by Starfleet, his presence here however continues to fuel misgivings amongst certain crew members, due to his earlier conduct whilst serving against us during the civil war as CO of the USS Alacrity. It would seem that Lieutenant Adams has particular grievance towards him, although given his familial connections, this is entirely understandable... "

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.

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