Mission Reports
Every month, one of the Victory crewmembers writes a monthly summary about all ship activities.
These summaries are written to give you a global idea of what happens aboard the fine Intrepid starship. To that end, a certain level of detail is being maintained. Personal b-plots and personnal experiences will not be mentioned unless important for the main plot. The entries below are sorted by stardate.
Stardate: 238302
Having been appointed the Commanding Officer of the USS Victory, Commander Phoenix (terran) finds herself planning and executing a highly delicate mission on behalf of Starfleet Intelligence.
A platoon of Starfleet marines was supposed to rendezvous with the USS Nubulus near the Acmar System. Whilst this was a routine operation, a navigational error caused their troop transport ship to end up somewhere between Romulan and Klingon space, where it vanished. Starfleet Intelligence has informed Cmdr Phoenix that the Romulan Tal Shiar has taken command of a derelict station left from Dominion War, outside Romulan Space, which they identify as Celipentha Station. They believe that the Romulans use it as a prison for enemies of the Empire and have incarcerated the marines there. It is also believed that the station is a platform for Romulan intelligence missions against the Klingon Empire.
Unfortunately, because the marines are not held prisoner officially by the Romulans, the Federation is unable to use diplomatic means to secure their release. To solve this problem, the USS Victory is ordered to go on a black mission (top secret and unofficial) to free the Starfleet Marines. Cmdr Phoenix is ordered to retain full invisibility and stealth during the operation. Although the station is not officially Romulan or even officially exists, failure could mean international incident resulting in another war.
Cmdr Phoenix elicits that assistance of Commander Janatra, a Romulan who has played a role in some former and current Victory member's career and lives. Having earned each other's trust, Phoenix is forced to call in quite a big one favour. The Victory and Janatra’s vessel, the Romulan Starship Falcon, rendezvous in a nebula close to the Romulan border, where their plans are developed. Janatra agrees to transport two small Starfleet teams, heavily disguised as Romulans to the station.
The three person Alpha team, led by Lt Cmdr Harden (Terran) (MD, and acting First Officer), successfully (albeit temporarily) fool the Tal Shiar security as they enter the station in their disguise. Their plan is to access auxiliary engineering and computer controls within the space station. Team Bravo, led by Cmdr Phoenix, is beamed across by the Falcon in a cargo container. The plan is for team Alpha to safely lead team Bravo to the marines’ cells, from which a daring extraction plan will be executed.
However, the unexpected arrival by shuttle of Matilda Tayler-Ventu, Counselor Aresee Ventu’s mother, has caused this well laid plan to go awry.

A few days into the investigation regarding Captain Jordan Hurne’s (Terran) disappearance, Starfleet Command contacted the Victory’s acting CO. Admiral Decilla (Terran/NPC) ordered the crew to cease the investigation and contact Captain at Large Mal Avatar (Andorian) of the USS Columbia NCC-85279. The Captain instructed the USS Victory NCC-362447 to rendezvous with the Columbia’s Captain’s yacht at Galordon Core, near the Romulan neutral zone.
Onboard the Victory, the crew was having difficulty letting go of the investigation to their missing Captain. How could Starfleet expect to drop an important thing like this? Luckily, Captain Avatar managed to ease the tension upon his arrival, as he informed the crew of what really had happened to their former CO. It appeared the Captain had been recalled to join a certain department within Section 31, for which the Captain had worked as well during his Starfleet career.
After this information, Captain Avatar and Commander Robin Phoenix (Terran) discussed the Victory’s future. The former FO was granted the title of commanding officer, but to make the title official she had to pass the exam. A dangerous mission, devised by Starfleet Intelligence. However, before the crew started working in this new task, they were treated to a long overdue promotions ceremony and the distributing of this year’s awards. Avatar and Phoenix presented the promotions and awards together. After the ceremonies, Captain Avatar left the ship and returned to his own.
Commander Robin Phoenix and Lieutenant Commander Nugra (Gorn) had been appointed as the new command team. However, before their first mission together could commence, Commander Nugra was recalled to the Gorn confederation. Lieutenant Bennit (Orion) also left the ship for a transfer.
Currently the Victory is planning and preparing their classified mission, despite of the lack of senior officers.
Stardate: 238212
The USS Victory NCC 362447and her crew had a tough time
during their mission in the Tanuga System.
As a rescue team led by Commander Nugra (Gorn) struggled to free the First Officer, Commander Robin Phoenix (terran), from the medical experiments performed by the terrorist Tanugans, all personnel was called back aboard the Victory for safety reasons. After the rescue, which almost ended in disaster because the enemy outnumbered the team, the Tanugan government send in special forces to secure the terrorist compound.
Upon their return aboard the Victory, the rescue team and FO were patched up by Doctor Julia Harden (terran) and her team only to be send back down again for a cloak and dagger mission. Information had been found during the last mission explaining the organizational structure of the entire Tanugan terrorist cells. One of the leaders appeared to be a highly respected man, the commander of Tanugan security himself.
A small team of four people was formed and headed back to the planet in ashuttle that had been made virtually invisible by CEO Ensign Ben Hunnicutt(terran). Meanwhile, the Victory faked her leaving the system and hide behind the second moon of Tanuga IV. Leaving the altered and pre-programmed shuttle in orbit, the team managed to beam down without being detected and took their positions in one of the key terrorist warehouses stocked with illegal Klingon, Breen, Romulan, Ferengi and Federation weapons.
Upon the arrival of commander of security Plaiax (Tanugan) and his posse, the team sprang the trap. The battle went swift and organized, using the element of surprise in overpowering the opponents. As ordered, Plaiax and one other lead figure were captured and returned with the team to the shuttle still in orbit. As the shuttle headed back for the Victory, still behind the moon, they were detected and attacked by five Tanugan shuttlecrafts. Fortunately the Victory
came to the rescue.
As the team returned to the ship, it had became clear Captain Jordan Hurne (terran) was missing. Although and investigation is currently continuing, no sign or explanation of his disappearance have been found so far. Although an unidentified code, possibly from Starfleet Intelligence, has been found in the Captain���?�s last log and the primary transporter room. Also two mugs have been found in the Captain���?�s quarters, suggesting Captain Hurne had at least one guest.
