| The following are the mission summaries that can also be found on the SB118 main website. They are posted here for convenience, and for a single time line of the Constitution. The order begins with the latest mission summary available. There are certain dates missing, perhaps because a summary was never written or simply never published. Anyone is welcome to update this page if they have a full summary. The dates included are the approximate length of time between each summary - therefore, the latest summary takes place from the beginning of August to the beginning of September, approximately.

| Over the past month, the work of the Constitution-B crew on Kepos Prime has been coming along well. The Borg were driven away, at least for the moment, and work has begun studying the technology left behind. This month also marked the return of LT Pietro Maximoff from a year-long LOA. His work, along with the newly appointed Chief of Science Ensign Rowanna Briels, led to the discovery of hybrid technology on the planet, which included four different types - 1. Klingon-Romulan technology, which is nothing new, 2. Federation-Klingon technology, which had rather poor effects, 3. Federation-Klingon-Romulan technology, a rather interesting and effective blending of the three technologies, and 4. Federation-Romulan technology. Remarkably, the final hybrid worked the best of the four, although that posed a few problems, especially considering the research from the past that showed an impossibility for that blending.

| Captain Xan Hebron, along with LTCMD Cura Stone and Ensigns Jovita and Tr'Get, departed on the Shuttle Washington on course to the Banaor System, after an Admiral K'Tar requested Hebron's help on a diplomatic mission of peace. They had a safe departure, but were caught in a temporal anomaly and ended up in the Banaor System, before the wars had begun. Hebron ordered no contact with the world, both because of the Timeline and the Prime Directive, but eventually the more primitive race began an attack. The attack was stopped, though Jovita and the attackers were lost. All of the wreckage was removed and the away team went back through the temporal anomaly. Once they arrived in the correct time, they found that the war torn planet was no longer war torn - the attackers had likely been the ones to start the wars. A diplomatic mission turned into a simple first contact. By this time, the Washington had rendezvoused with the USS Constitution-B, and the remaining crew of the away team was very happy to be home.
| |
|
| |
| Meanwhile, back at Kepos Prime, LTCMD Diamond was doing a fine job leading the rest of the crew in working on the colony. Maximoff had been incapacitated by an unknown viral organism, but was cured and eventually returned to duty. The process of building defenses and other buildings for the colony would begin, led by Maximoff and Briels, working with the engineering and science teams.

| ''Originally written by Captain Xan Hebron''<br>
| |
| This month the USS Constitution-B, NCC-9012-B crew has had a difficult time on Kepos Prime. This planet is to be the first Federation colony within the Delta Quadrant. The crew beamed down to the surface in order to scout out an area for the main camp. Once this was accomplish, FltCapt Xan Hebron sent out three groups to different locations.
| |
|
| |
| After he sent out the group, the Constitution was called back to Starbase 118. Hebron stayed behind on the planet, along with the first touch down group.
| |
|
| |
| LtCmdr Paul Diamond led a group to discover why the Borg on the planet are defective. The group discovered that the defective drones are mainly on half breeds, consisting of two different species from two different worlds. With a major struggle they were able to get this information back to camp. Another group, led by Cmdr John Stone, was sent into an area to discover more about the animal life on Kepos Prime. This group, however, discovered a smuggling ring and was able to take them into custody.
| |
|
| |
| The final group, led by LtCmdr Merigold KitiganZibi-Hebron, was sent into a sensor blacked out area. They discovered an old Borg machine, which was causing the black out. It was also disturbing the weather in the area. Upon getting closer to the machinery, the weather became hectic for those back at the main camp site. They were able to shut it down, but not before the unfortunate demise of Lt. Tom Dodge and Ltjg Dan Palmar. The crew will morn their loss.
| |
|
| |
| Now that everyone is back at the camp, Stone and KitiganZibi-Hebron were sent to bring the Constitution back to Kepos Prime. Since their departure, Fleet captain Hebron was contacted by a race who want assistance in bringing peace to their home world. Hebron plans to go to the planet to help out the peace accord. He will be leaving Diamond in charge of the colony. Only time will tell what this will bring for the crew.

| |
| It is said that the one constant in the universe is CHANGE. That certainly was true for the crew of the USS Constitution.
| |
|
| |
| The First Officer, a battle-hardened professional was getting married, . . . to a queen. The "royal wedding" was beautiful, but, BEHIND the scenes there was more than a little turmoil and conflict. It would seem that not everyone was happy having a Human for a King. Starfleet wanted some changes, too. They wanted the Constitution to head on to its next mission!! The wedding WAS indeed beautiful. Even the Klingon raised Human, D'Warta went through a "change" finding herself in a DRESS !!! The "royal couple" went on a brief but beautiful honeymoon, as the Constitution headed through the anomaly to their new home.
| |
| SCORES of new personnel came onboard for the assignment. There were additional Science officers, Security officers and Medical officers. The mission briefing was started off with promotions for many of the officers. THEN, there were reassignments. The android Chief Engineer became the Mission Specialist. Dr. Dodge took over Security, and Commander KitiganZibi-Hebron became the Second Officer. But, not everyone took the changes easily.
| |
|
| |
| The planet was named Kepos Prime. Kepos being the Greek word for "Garden." The teams began to beam down, led by the Brikar Captain, but like another Garden, there was a serpent. The planet seemed like it might be some sort of "junkyard" for the Borg. With THAT ominous cloud hanging in the air the crew began to explore the new planet.

| |
|
| |
| The crew of the USS Constitution was on the far end of a wormhole, establishing a colony on the planet now named, "Kepos Prime." The colony was of vital importance, being right at the entrance to the anomaly back to the Alpha Quadrant.
| |
|
| |
| The experienced crew of the USS Constitution was a good choice, as Fleet Captain Hebron had led them on many other dangerous but successful missions. Still, no matter how much planning, how much preparation there is for such a great endeavor, there were bound to be obstacles. The crew just had no way of knowing how many obstacles they would encounter.
| |
|
| |
| Commander Stone led a group into the tunnels hunting some large prey which may have to be moved. While they were expecting to see large game, they were not planning to run into some of Lt. Dodge's old friends. The team was surprised by a group of heavily armed mercenaries, whom Dodge had known in his years away from Starfleet. The new Chief of Security had to think fast. He pretended to turn against his Federation shipmates, helping to disarm them, while at the same time secreting a phaser into the First Officer's boot. The big question was, "whose side is he really on?" When the shooting started, Dodge stood with his shipmates, stood until he took a phaser hit to his chest.
| |
|
| |
| Lt. Commander Diamond, the Chief Medical Officer, was leading a team. The doctor was doing research on the Borg, and the planet was known to be the dumping ground, for the lack of a better term, for reject Borg. Dr. Diamond's team had run into some real trouble but had won out in the end.
| |
|
| |
| Commander KitiganZibi-Hebron was leading a team into the blacked out area of the planet. The region was an enigma. No amount of scans penetrated the region, so she took a team on the ground right into the area. As they approached, bad weather very suddenly sprang up. The closer they got, the worse the weather. It led the Takaran Science officer to wonder if the weather was not some kind of artificially produced defense. They found glowing columns at the entrance of a vast cave, and the Bolian Security Officer, "Tr'Get" discovered a beam that seemed to be causing the weather. KitiganZibi-Hebron's team moved into the caves out of the weather, and eventually down into the tunnels. What they encountered was another mystery, predators, with bits and pieces of Borg implants in their stomach. It looked like they had been eating Borg.
| |
|
| |
| Back at base-camp, Fleet Captain Hebron had problems of his own! The mighty Constitution was being ordered back to the Alpha Quadrant. That meant, the colonists were being hastily dumped on the planet surface in order to facilitate the departure of the USS Constitution. Teams were beaming down with equipment, but, in all the confusion, things were sure to be missed. So much was happening and most of it was not good. In the midst of the confusion, the chaos, the ambush by mercenaries. Counselor Cura Stone was assimilated by the Borg.

| === Monthly Mission Summary - 238203 to 238204 (March)===
| |
|
| |
| The Bird of Prey was safely on the Gorn Homeworld but the crew inside was anything BUT safe. They were sent to investigate what looked like the hunting of wild Humans by Gorn.
| |
|
| |
| The crew divided into two teams to cover more ground. One team was led by Fleet Captain Hebron, the other by First Officer, Commander Stone. They headed off in two different directions to try to find answers to the many questions about Humans running wild in the forests of the Gorn homeworld.
| |
|
| |
| The valley the Humans were in was surrounded by mountains rich in kelvanite. Just as on the Ba'Ku homeworld, the mineral deposits interfered with any scanning, making their scans both from the ship and ground all but useless. The two teams pushed on into the dense forest and the first clue they found was horrifying. They came across a Human body, an ancient "arrow" protruding from its shoulder. The doctor's exam concluded that the arrow was probably just to slow the "game" down to prolong the "hunt."
| |
|
| |
| Fleet Captain Hebron's team ran into a bit of trouble as a lone Gorn stumbled on their small team and took aim with a weapon. The threat to the group led to the first death, a Gorn being killed by Lt Yladro preemptively to protect Lt Commander Assanti. Was this fact-finding team going to spark a war? If Humans were being Hunted like deer, wouldn't a war be justified? These and other questions plagued many members of the crew. The Counselor located a Human female... frightened, naked, cold, and barely able to speak. The female knew what was going on... if they could only communicate with her.
| |
|
| |
| Gorn Security Forces detected a weapons discharge from the team "disposing of" the body of the dead Gorn and made the erroneous assumption that the Klingon disruptor meant there was a Klingon team on their homeworld. They went in looking for answers... and Klingon heads. It turned out that the "hunting" of Humans was not legally sanctioned by the Gorn government. It was not even officially known. The hunting was being done by a secretive and exclusive group known as "The Brotherhood of Gorn Hunters." This cultic fraternity was made up of select leaders from Gorn society. They felt they were above the law and were trying to "guide" their culture back to a more warlike and aggressive path.
| |
|
| |
| The key to the mystery was a female "Vet" working in the "Game Preserve." She had finally discovered that the Humans were sentient and she had sent StarFleet the evidence that sparked the mission. In an effort to silence her, she was dumped into the middle of the game preserve, which was home to much deadlier game than just Humans. As fate would have it, one of the team members, Counselor Assanti, was wounded and the vet came across her. By the time Fleet Captain Hebron had found Counselor Assanti and met the Gorn female, it was clear to all that their cover was blown. Both teams headed back to the ship and left the Gorn homeworld under cloak. They were met en route by the USS Constitution, repaired and an on a "shake-down" cruise to test its system repairs.
| |
|
| |
| Doctors Diamond and Dodge both attended to the wounded Counselor with guidance from the knowledgeable female Gorn Vet. Fleet Captain Hebron saw this lone female as the key to exposing and with diplomacy "correcting" the situation with the Humans on the Gorn homeworld. Commander Stone was discovered to be suffering from radiation poisoning. They all beamed over to the USS Constitution which had FAR better medical facilities than the aging Klingon Bird of Prey. The Science Officer and the Android Engineer went looking for the source of Commander's Stone's radiation exposure. The source was found, the doctors notified, and the last members of the team finally exited the old Klingon Bird-of-Prey. Now, the question was, "What's next?"
