The call for help

---

Captain Va Remy: Commander, we request immediate assistance. We are receiving reports of several attacks along the border. There have been reports of issues with pirates near the border in the past. Please help us. We are a small outpost, but our work.. I believe it’s only a matter of time before they target us. We will hold them off as long as we can. Officer: Captain, they are shooting at the Communications rela– The last thing Akeelah saw was the Captain’s hand come down as if to slam it down but before it reached the destination the screen went blank.

Hermes Information

---

Hermes Station is located in a small system about thirty light years from Cait. It had some fixed weapons that were destroyed in the initial attack. The station is mostly ground-based on the only M-class planet in the system, the planet is small - just so a planet. Features include the central structure, a large communications array, and several orbital telescopes and sensor platforms. The station is a communications hub for the Marchlands and surrounding areas, that helped coordinate activities across the southern sectors of the Federation. Its sensors also allow for large amounts of data gathering for both scientific and intelligence purposes. With close proximity to a Federation world and the Tholians typically avoiding that section of the border, the station has been assigned a very limited on-site presence for some time.

• Commanding Officer: Cpt. Ve Remy

Act 1

---

While on shore leave the USS Constitution receives a call for help from the Commanding Officer of the Hermes Outpost. Captain Ve mentions reports of pirate attacks along the border that divides the Federation and Tholian space in the recent months. The call is interrupted after the station's communications relay is attacked and the Constitution jumps into action. Upon arrival they witness several ships attacking the orbital installations and the Outpost itself and engage into battle.
After a heated battle in which part of the outpost was destroyed and the Constitution hit with heavy fire, the constitution utilized the Wild Weasel method of using a shuttle and stuff with with emitters that would signal to be a Galaxy Class Starship to aid the Constituion. They filled said shuttle with explosives. Once the Pirate ship discovered the other 'Galaxy Class ship' they opened fire on it and it crashed into them, exploding and causing considerable damage. The Pirates were affected enough by the battle and decided to retreat. Once they were gone the Conny began its own repairs while Jalana transported to the station with a first survey team to assess the situation.

Weekly Summaries

Week/Hour 1

Argo buggy races on Drever IV were unexpectedly canceled after the Constitution received a distress call from the Hermes Outpost. Hermes outpost is located in a small system about thirty light years from Cait. It is a communications hub for the Marchlands and surrounding areas that helped coordinate activities across the southern sectors of the Federation. Its sensors also allow for large amounts of data gathering for both scientific and intelligence purposes.

Captain Va Remy, the outpost’s Bajoran CO, reported attacks by suspected pirates along the border and requested assistance. The comm was cut off, however, when the relay they were using was destroyed.

When everyone was back onboard and at their stations, the Conny wasted no time headed for the outpost. They arrived to find the outpost under attack. Commodore Jalana Rajel issued the orders to fire and the battle to protect the outpost began. After the pirates managed to inflict damage to part of the outpost, LtCmdr Atan T'Seva and LtCmdr Diz'Mim Ch'Nilmani worked to devise a way to distract the largest ship. Meanwhile, Lt Mingxing Shimisi and Ensign Jiroo Zaka tried to find a way to beam supplies to the damaged outpost and down in sickbay Doctors Ashra and Park worked to prepare for injuries.

Over in Intel, Cmdr T’Mar, Senior Commander Nugra, LtJG Tann Ilix, and LtCmdr Laria Herren worked to find out more information on who the attackers are.

Week/Hour 2

The battle for the Hermes outpost is in full swing. Small pirate ships continue to attack the orbital installations and have begun to attempt to scratch the Conny's hull, as she has thrown herself in the middle of the attacking vessels in an attempt to give the outpost a breather from the pressure of continuous attacks.

Ensign Jiroo Zaka, the new engineering officer found that the structural damage of the outpost was severe and they were already on backup power. did not believe the Shields would be lasting much longer and suggested beaming teams down to help. Alas the Conny needed those teams themselves to stay in one piece. Instead they opted for aid in form of automated worker drones until a team can be spared.

Minxing Shimisi in engineering has been working on prepping said worker drones to deliver urgent supplies to the station to try and buy it more time.

Based on the data, Lt.JG Lystra and T'Seva are sure that there is a carrier or type of mothership out there supporting the smaller attacking ships and the struggle was trying to find where it is hiding. They didn't have to wait long until that ship showed itself by zapping past the Constitution and opening heavy fire on the Outpost, destroying part of the structure. The Conny crew had to act quickly and First Officer Diz'mim Ch'Nilmani offered a Wild Weasel maneuver. A Shuttle would be equipped with mobile sensor equipment emitting another Galaxy Class signature to confuse enemy sensors into believing that more help had arrived.

After agreement of Commodore Jalana Rajel, he contacted Rachel Flores, in engineering who would prepare the shuttle, and the was expanded on by stuffing the shuttle full of explosives to hand out some BOOM should the pirate ship open fire on the 'Galaxy Class'. That plan worked out well and the Pirate Mothership took considerable damage. We have yet to see if it is enough to chase them away.

Sick bay has been busy preparing for injured, while several teams have been moving out to treat injuries from exploding consoles and other battle damage. Counselor Ba'el meanwhile is trying to find patterns in the attacks from the bridge to find out motives and gaps the Conny could use.

Who is attacking? Why are they so interested in knockout out the Communication Outpost? These are the biggest questions, and the intelligence Department with Laria Herren, Nugra, Ilix, and T'Mar are trying to find that out, so that Jalana has all the pieces to the puzzle!

Week/Hour 3

Our pirate opponents didn't easily let go and gave the crew of the Constitution a run for their latinum. Commodore Jalana Rajel had a great chance to bring out Mama Bear. When the crew witnessed the mothership of the swarm attach the Planetary Outpost Hermes and destroy a section of their compound, Jalana instructed T'Seva to give it all she got, and fire phasers and Torpedos on the pirate ships and attempt low them to smithereens. Naturally the pirates didn't take that laying down and returned the favor with attacking the outpost and the Constitution with high yield quantum torpedos.

The attacks naturally caused a lot of issues all over the ship and Medical was called to various places all over the ship to treat injured, because these consoles decided it was a good idea to stop working with fireworks. In people's faces. While Engineering barely was able to keep up with fixing all the small issues the battle brought with it, Mingxing Shimisi discovered a Tachyon leak and energy fluctuations. At his attempt to fix that, the discharge entered his body and knocked him out cold. Maybe that saved him from being in the way of the exploding console next to him that hit the Caitian Engineer S'Rrrell.

Intel attempted to figure out who the attacker may be, but the ship design was unknown to them, as well as to the Bridge crew. It was all a mystery to them until during the last minutes the Bridge crew witnessed smaller ships attempt to create a Tholian web. Luckily that scheme was interrupted as the Mothership fell for the Weasel tactic and shot on the shuttle that emitted the fake Galaxy Class signature. The ship, packed with explosives blew up as it crashes into the ship's walls causing considerable damage to the shields and the ship.

That was enough for the pirates to collect their little ships and get out of the system. Lystra caught a transporter signal before the ships were gone and Security teams were dispatched to make sure no boarding party had been dispatched by the pirates.

While Diz'mim Ch'Nilmani oversees the repairs on the Constitution, Commodore Rajel grabbed a team for a first survey of the Hermes outpost. Since comms of the outpost are down the team beamed down to get a first overview. To say that they need 'everything' would be an understatement. The witnessed attack destroyed a whole section of the station, how many fatalities they carried away is yet unknown. The Comm systems, internal and external are destroyed, contact was lost to all orbital relays and stations, most of them because they were destroyed or badly damaged in the attack. The only saving grace is that the outpost was built on a class M planetoid and the spotty shields do not cause a problem with the oxygen supply.

Engineering Officer Jiroo Zaka is working on determining the extend of the damage, what materials and how many teams they would need to assist the outpost. Assistant Medical Chief Ellie Park is exploring the outpost trying to get an overview of how many injured they may have, and assess the situation, transport paths and access to the medical facilities. Second officer Laria Herren and Commodore Rajel are conferring with Captain Va Remy of Hermes outpost to find out what has happened in the area that may have caused the attack.

Will they find out who these pirates were and why they had come? Can they help the outpost to get back up to their feet? And how will they react when the news about the events in the Sol System finally reach them? Tune back in next time to find out!
