==the year [[2382]]== | |||
===First Command & The Premier's Fiancee=== | |||
On Stardate 238112.27, Commander Rocar accepted a transfer back to Starfleet's diplomatic corps. Assembling a small hand-picked crew, he and his family made boarded the [[USS Resolution]] once more and headed toward their new assignment: [[Duronis II]] | |||
Accepting the post of Federation Ambassador to [[Duronis II]], Commander Rocar waited for the Laudean Prime Minister to accept his credentials. The ceremony was a little more colourful than expected when the Laundean premier's fiancee was kidnapped by a terrorist group who'd gained access to the Prime Minister's pallace by an unknown secret passage. The fact the Laudean Kidnappers knew of the passage seemed to indicate they might have ties to the former Laudean Aristocracy -royals familiar with the pallaces secret layout. | |||
With the Federation having granted Asylum to the former Laudean Crown-Prince, the task ahead was difficult for Rocar. A great distrust of both him and the United Federation had already developed amongst the victorious Laundean revolutionaries. Eager to impress, Starfleet Security personnel worked alongside the Laudeans to trace the kidnappers but the [[Romulan]]s were also all to eager to help. | |||
Following the successful locating of the Premier's fiancée, Rocar was installed as Federation Ambassador. The [[Ktarian]]'s first official act was to throw an official ball, which was attended by Embassy staff as well as Laundeans, [[Romulan]]s and even Zalkonians. At this event Commander Rocar was promoted to Captain in rank. | |||
===Investigating the Sandbar=== | |||
Following his new promotion, Captain Rocar was approached by a team of Laudean scientists. Unbeknownst to the Federation, one of the trio was infact a coven leader, sent by the Fielding Leagues' elders to monitor the untrustworthy scientists progress as they aimed to further change the minds of the Laudean people. The team wished to run tests on the sandbar, but the Laudean crafts were not ready and would delay their project for months. | |||
Eager to gain diplomatic trust amongst the Laudeans, Rocar offered the services of the USS RESOLUTION. Part of the Ambassador's new job was to ensure the success of Federation trade interests on Duronis II. With the Duronis system's sandbar preventing warp travel (except through a single narrow corridor,) it was also in Rocar's best interest to have his science teams find out what they could. | |||
What ought to have been a prosperous expedition soon turned to further damaging Laudean-Federation relations. | |||
After pressure from the science institute on [[Duronis II]], Rocar agreed to take a long awaited team of high ranking [[Laudean]] scientists to study the [[sandbar]], a spatial anomaly that has prevented warp travel through this sector. Rocar took the science team aboard the [[USS Resolution]], a Nova class science vessel. | |||
Once in space sensors picked up readings of a vessel trapped within the sandbar, as space faring protocols dictate it is our duty to lend aid to these poor souls. Rocar quickly ordered a rescue mission lead by his First Officer. On arrival into the "sandbar" the spatial anomaly comes into it's own, temporal distortion, quantum fluxes and back ground radiation had concealed that two other ships were with in this vortex of peril, a Romulan Science vessel that has the more suspicious members of the crew climbing the walls. Eventually, Rocar’s crew were able to perform a successful rescue mission and return the injured to hospitals on Duronis II. | |||
===The Omega Hoax=== | |||
Later that year, Rocar was surprised to find an old friend (and former superior officer) turn up (unnoticed by security) in his office… Captain Michael Rourke, Starfleet Intelligence, turned up in a quiet corner in the office of Rocar’s office in the Federation Embassy to Duronis II . Having sent his staff on a diplomatic assignment to the province of Manaria, Captain Rocar followed Captain Rourke’s guidance and examined the planetary scans for pollution. Sure enough, there was an unusual power source being detected: [[Omega]]. | |||
Meanwhile at Starbase 185, the nearest federation outpost to the Duronis system, | |||
the USS Hatherleigh (NCC-73105) was just returning from a three year mission of | |||
deep space exploration when her Captain received a request from Captain Rocar | |||
for assistance with the detection of an Omega particle. Having traced the Omega | |||
to “The Great City” of the Laundean Fielding League in Damadaora, Captain Rocar | |||
implemented the Omega directive; both he and Captain Rourke setting out for Damadora. Leaving the Embassy unannounced, Rocar and Rourke implemented the omega directive and left to locate the Omega and destroy it, despite the diplomatic consequences. With “the Great City” being the seat of Duronis II’s religious leaders (the fielding league’s Elders and Feldleser,) one thing was disturbing –surely given their fielding ability to sense energy sources they too were aware of the Omega’s presence, even if they weren’t aware of what it was. | |||
As the main senior staff recovered from their injuries and wondered where their | |||
Commanding Officer had disappeared to without them, the USS Hatherleigh | |||
(NCC-73105) arrived in orbit. Yet in a cruel twist of fate, Captain Theodore | |||
Montgomery, commanding officer, ran several level-1 scans of Duronis II and | |||
could not detect a single trace of the Omega that he’d come to help with. | |||
Beaming down to the Federation Embassy, the sternly strict militaristic Captain | |||
found the installation in a state of chaos and assumed command. | |||
Presuming Rocar and Rourke to be AWOL, Captain Montgomery will led Rocar’s own staff on a mission to track down their missing CO. | |||
This sternly strict militaristic Captain was a stark contrast to Captain Rocar’s | |||
command style and quickly met with opposition from the crew. Lieutenant Junior | |||
Grade Cyrus Webb, Chief Engineering Officer, and Lieutenant Commander Gwendolyn Hilzarie, Ambassador’s wife at the time and Embassy Counsellor, went AWOL to mount their own search for their missing C.O. Meanwhile, the rest of the Staff followed Captain Montgomery on an undercover mission to the Great city in Damadora –their goal to trace down and bring back Rocar before a diplomatic incident was caused by his quest for a non-existent Omega particle. | |||
Whilst the Staff overcame various challenges to gain access to secret passages | |||
and follow Captain Rocar, more sinister things were afoot. Deep in the tunnels | |||
below the sacred Cathedral of Diamoclease I, a Reman and Romulan Tal’Shiar | |||
operative were hard at work in collaboration with a Laundean coven leader who | |||
wanted all off-worlders off Duronis II. Having created a device powered by | |||
Chroniton the Romulans had managed to imitate an omega particle signature on and | |||
off and were luring Rocar into their trap. This was why Montgomery was unable to | |||
detect the same signature Rocar and Rourke had and also why sometimes their | |||
tricorders detected it and sometimes they did not. | |||
Rocar had walked straight into the Romulan trap and having fallen through a | |||
opening in the ground sustained major injuries. With the Chroniton having kept | |||
them out of phase (and also had side affects knocking certain Starfleet officers | |||
on the rescue mission out of phse for a short while), the Romulan operatives | |||
quickly left the device by the lumbering Ktarian and made their escape. By the | |||
time Montgomery and the Embassy staff reached the injured Ktarian and found the | |||
Romulan device it became apparent that the omega had never really been there; it | |||
was faked by the Romulans to lure the Federation CO. | |||
Realising they had been duped by a cunning Romulan trick, it was too late. | |||
Having been notified by the Laudean coven leader conspiring with the Romulans, | |||
a team of Covot guard (the Fielding leagues private army and protectors of the | |||
great city) caught the Starfleet officers in the off-limit tunnels beneath one | |||
of the most sacred places of worship on Duronis II. Although the Embassy staff | |||
escaped, this violation of the fielding leagues holy grounds caused outrage with | |||
Laudeans all across the planet. Following the international outcry, the | |||
Federation were far from being the most popular off-worlders with diplomatic | |||
ties to the Laudeans. Having been forced to eat their own tails, the Starfleet | |||
officers have take a few days off on “shore leave” to get over their recent | |||
ordeal. Meanwhile, the backlash of the last mission quickly hit with the | |||
diplomatic trade negotiations Ambassador Rocar had been working on with Govinda | |||
Province falling through at the last minute. Disgraced by the Federations recent | |||
actions against their religion, the Laudeans of Govinda instead signed a trade | |||
negotiation with the Romulan Star Empire. It became clear that the Romulan | |||
Ambassador’s cunning plan to disgrace the Federation and win the exclusive | |||
diplomatic deal had worked perfectly from the start. | |||
