Brigadier General Gorkan reporting
Commanding Officer
IKS Tezcatlipoca
My world changed yesterday. Up until yesterday, I was a Warrior of the Empire. I knew what Kahless expected of me. To serve the Empire without fail, even unto death! To use every last ounce of my being to destroy all enemies of the High Command and the Klingon people. Yesterday, though, Kahless's true calling reached my ears:
Yesterday I met Lt. J'ole.
Now, I must do something that has already been done, set into motion something that is already happening, something that began 200 years ago. I do not want to make a mistake....I am not even sure I can make a mistake! Is this paradox set, so no matter what I choose to do, it is what I've already done? Or do my actions dictate the course of this reality? What seemed so sure to me, the duty passed to me from my father, the duty I was supposed to pass to my heir, has become fuzzy....and as of yesterday, has become mine. There is no more time to pass. The future, the past, and the present have all converged, and I am the focal point.
After speaking to J'ole and his... More

Episode 5:
All's Quiet on the Eridani Front
One hundred thousand Kelicams outside of the Drozana system a lone Constitution Class ship, Starfleet registry NCC-1672, USS Exeter, dropped out of warp amidst several explosions. The starboard nacelle was almost completely removed by the blast that disrupted the ships warp field and dropped it to impulse. The EPS relays along the saucer section and neck were nothing but charred holes in the outer hull. Atmosphere and debris were trailing behind the hulk.
On the bridge, six young warriors were trying in vain to clear the smoke and get the ship back into warp headed to Qo'nos. The young green skinned woman at the science station spoke first.
“B'Ranna, this is useless!” exclaimed K'lee. “We have escaped the P'tak's of the Federation, but this ship has seen the last of it's days traveling at warp! The core is at least stable, but the power transfer relays between here and there are all blown out. I am not reading any power to the starboard nacelle either. It may not even be there anymore. Your little cloaking surge may have saved our necks, but it wrecked this ship. I'm surprised we made it this far! Face it... More

“Stardate: 87475.6
Captain Selenia reporting
Commanding Officer, USS Erbrus
I have returned to Mariner 10 with Captain Cleary and the Exeter in tow. The Exeter has been placed in the refit queue for the repairs and updating it needs. I see that Admiral Bailey has been busy in the past as well. In front of the Exeter in the refit queue is an old Miranda Class, looks like the USS Lewis B. Puller, and another old Connie, the USS Alamo.
I had my Chief Science Officer, Commander Yiczie, look into Starfleet History to find any info on those ships. She found that the USS Lewis B Puller was almost destroyed 200 years ago by an infestation of micro-organisms that caused the plasma conduits on the ship to overload and explode. The report says there were no survivors. One thing I found interesting, though, is that the ship itself was refitted and continued in service for another 20 years. The ship was then put into storage to be brought back and refit again should the need arise for more ships. It was just reinstated to duty a couple of days ago. I wonder who they saved off of her 200 years ago? I'll have to ask Bailey.
The other ship, the USS Alamo, turned out to have a little different end. The... More

Episode 3: Romulans, Vulcans and Ghosts...Oh My!
“Captain's Log
Stardate: 86355.9
Captain Selenia Reporting
Commanding Officer, USS Erbrus
We have just finished our second slingshot jump from the Traelus System 200 years into the past. We are assigned to find and bring to the future the USS Exeter. I have the first member of the “Ghost Fleet”, Lt. KATRA, with me on this trip. He is a little too vulcan for my tastes, but he is a Vulcan after all. Bailey and Fanklin thought his insights would be a help on this trip, so here he is.
The Exeter is one of the original 12 Constitution class ships Starfleet had comissioned it the mid 23rd century. It was lost with all hands in the 2260's, presumably because of a warp engine malfunction; a very rare “quantum bubble” had formed in the reaction chamber causing a catastrophic overload of the warp core. This ship is a perfect candidate for Section 31's “Ghost Fleet”.
The commanding officer is Captain Richard Allen Cleary. He seems a bit of a stuffed shirt to me. According to Starfleet records, he had won most major medals that were given out at that time. He was also reported to be a stickler for the regulations. Not my cup of tea, but if Franklin and Bailey want him,... More

Episode 2.5: Off and Running
"Stardate 5473.2
Chief Medical Officer's log
USS Faile, Lt B'Koth reporting for Doctor Roland
Two days ago, while on a patrol mission in the Gamma Orionas Sector, the Faile encountered an unusual distortion in the subspace field around a D class planet we were investigating. Captain Soloth ordered a full stop and a full investigation of the anomaly. It was found that the anomaly extended from low orbit of the planet through the upper atmosphere and down to the surface of the planet. The Captain, being the inquisitive Vulcan he is, ordered an away team to don EVAC suits and board a shuttle to the surface. Doctor Roland was among the team as was the Captain, Chief Engineer and head of Security. The shuttle launched from the shuttle bay, started to the surface and we lost contact with them as they entered the area around the anomaly. The last message we received from Captain Soloth was a broken up message about the structural integrity field of the shuttle going down and the hull was buckling.
The 1st officer tried to get a transporter lock on the on the inhabitants of the shuttle and transport them directly to sickbay. The only thing we got in sickbay was the lower torso and one leg of Doctor... More

Episode 2: Intentions in the Dark Matter Not
Stardate 86319.8
Captain Selenia Reporting
Commanding Officer, USS Erbrus
I have dropped out of warp and have engaged my cloak at the coordinates that Admiral Bailey left on the datapad for me. My First Officer, Commander Corpsa, is running a scan for any other ships in the area; nothing so far. I must say this Defiant Class ship they “chose” for me is a little Spartan. I am used to the luxury of a Cruiser, not the tight Taspar Egg-like interior of a Fleet Escort. This ship certainly packs a punch, though; combine that with a cloak and the fact that it can turn on an Energy Credit? It has potential. I'm sure I'll get used to it.
Right on schedule, and there is nothing here, just an unremarkable dark matter nebula, the Comardie Nebula, if I am not mistaken. I hope I won’t be waiting too long for Admiral Bailey and the Klondike. Selenia out.

“Admiral, a Defiant Class Escort has just dropped out of warp and engaged it’s cloak. “ reported the baby-faced Ensign manning tactical, “Orders, sir?”
“Yellow Alert Ensign, “ replied Admiral James Bailey from the captain’s chair of his Flagship, “Did you catch the registry before she cloaked?”

Episode 1: The Die is Cast
"Due to your exemplary performance on the Klingon front, the Romulan front (which I am sure was not easy for you, personally), and most recently on the front lines of the struggle for Cardassia with the True Way, I hear by promote you to the rank of Captain with all the privileges that come with it," Admiral Quinn finished, with a crisp snap salute, "Congratulations Captain Selenia."
"Thank you, Admiral," replied Gretta Von Selenia, returning the salute, "I shall do my best to bring honor to the rank"
Gretta allowed her mind to reflect on the journey that brought her to this point in her life as the only full blooded Romulan Captain serving in Starfleet. At age four, after the Hobus Supernova and the destruction of the only home she had ever known, she found herself on board an old broken down transport ship with her 17 year old brother. They were the only two of her family to survive the destruction of the home world.
After a week in space, limping towards Federation Space in search of help, the transport was set upon by Orion Raiders looking for slaves to bring to market. The transport didn't stand a chance against Orion frigates, but ran into some tremendous luck. This was happening just after... More
