Fleet Update

The USS Spectre has been ordered by Fleet Command to the Class M world Ushar Prime, the home world of the Ushari situated close to Theta Draconis & approximately midway between the Ferengi alliance & the Cardassian Union. Prior to the Civil war, Ushar was a reliable & leading producer of Dilithium which it traded to the Federation in exchange for the complex weather control equipment it needed to maintain the surface climate of their world. Following the Civil War however & as a direct response to seriously depleted stocks, a request for an increased shipment of Dilithium by the Federation was met with an unexpected silence. A second request produced an announcement from the Ushari minister for commerce that the Ushari would be unable to meet it's request either now, or for the foreseeable future.

The Spectre's mission is thus:

Travel to the Ushari system, investigate the situation, rectify any problem & re-establish trade. There are however, complications in the form of an unexpected & perhaps dangerous benefactor.

Current Mission Overview

The USS Spectre has departed Earth Station McKinley en route to the area of space known as Theta Draconis, lying roughtly forty Two light years from the Sol system. It is known already that both the Ferengi Alliance & the Cardassian Union have disputed claims on a number of planets in the area, so tension is high that there may be interference from either in regards our current mission.

Travel time at warp eight is approximately fifteen days. Detailed information is skant & unreliable leaving the Spectre crew somewhat in the dark over precisely what they will find upon their arrival.

Status Report

"Captains Log, Stardate 2407.04.07..... 21:00hrs."

"It is with a great deal of relief that the President has now been transferred to the USS Steel Talons & is now under the protection of the 52nd fleet commander, Admiral LoDona. The Spectre has returned to Starbase Geneva for repairs & essential maintenance, thus bringing to an end our current mission"

"The crew seem now to be enjoying the rest & relaxation of Geneva's facilities but inevitably, & due also to the fact that Geneva has a rather large number of drinking establishments, some have returned in a state that can be best described as, not the worst for wear. However, they have more than earned their play today"

"It would seem that our saboteur, or perhaps saboteurs were more busy on board than we at first suspected, for just this evening & whilst docked at starbase, the Spectre was rocked by the effects of yet another device seemingly designed to directly destroy the VIP Quarters assigned to President Nell whilst he was on board. Needless to say, it's activation preceeded his departure & our only casualties were Lieutenant Commander Rogers & one of the Geneva Engineers. The First Officer has now been judged as incapacitated from duty thus leaving the ship without a second in command & our repair time estimation has been unjustifiably extended by at least another week"

"Our next mission is once again, swamped in secrecy. Admiral LoDona was not entirely forthcoming with it's specific details at our meeting, but suffice to say, I have been informed that a number of vessels from Admiral Doenitz ranks have now declared intent to defect. The Spectre, it seems will be sent as an emissary to investigate & offer assistance as necessary, pending full evaluation of the situation."

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. Lieutenant Michael Ian O'Conner is her current First Officer & Lieutenant Andrew Williams is her Second 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? :)
