Fleet Update

The USS Spectre now sets out on an emissary mission that may hold one of the keys to success in the battle to reclaim the fallen worlds of Tellar, Bajor, Andoria & ultimately, the final onslaught to retake Sector Zero One. If the communiques are indeed legitimate & the USS Alacrity's Commanding Officer honours his claim to defect, then before long, 52nd fleet command may be in receipt of the entire Doenitz command structure & then some. The flip side of the coin however could give Doenitz himself the entire command structure of the 52nd, should this all be one big elaborate ruse.

Current Mission Overview

Premise:-

The USS Spectre has received orders to investigate claims that a number of vessels previously loyal to Admiral Doenitz are intending to defect. Initial indications are of a valid situation, the 52nd are indeed taking the claims seriously due to the possible gains of receipt of the database files of the USS Alacrity, which amongst other things, will detail the Admiral's key placements in & around the Mars Defense Perimeter. Should things go wrong however, the price will be high as Admiral Doenitz might just end up with the fleet placements of the 52nd itself.

The Alacrity is currently reported to be awaiting rendezvous within the Arachnid Nebula, the location being specifically chosen so as to prevent the likelihood of either vessel targeting & firing upon the other during initial negotiations. Tension of course is expected to be high, the mission is fraught with danger but the rewards could be limitless.

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? :)
