The following is a compilation of mission summaries under the Starbase's current commanding Officer, Fleet Captain Rocar Drawoh.
Chapter One: Temporal Time Bombs
Act One
Stardate TBC
Aboard Starbase 118, the new crew were just assembling in Gala Hall Beta for a "meet and greet" ceremony. Captain Rocar Drawoh beamed over and began introductions of the crew from the USS Victory. The party was going well with Lieutenant (JG) Pedro Ramirez livening up things with an impromptu show on the stage. Everything was going well until Paul Yenkevich kidnapped Lieutenant Kalpana Geeva in the middle of the festivities. Using her as his personal hostage, he took over the party and with the aid of sixteen others, held all the guests at phaser point. Yenkevich claimed that Starfleet invaded the Magnus IV colony and blew it up, killing several civilians and he was seeking revenge for that action. As the crew tried to save Geeva, Yenkevich stepped up his game a notch and opened fire on the crowd, which included women and children.
Ramirez, who had crawled under the stage, rigged up the lights to shine very bright, blinding everyone as the firefight continued unabated. In the ensuing phaser fire, Commander Paul Diamond and Lieutenant Commander Cura Stone was shot as well as several others, from both sides of the conflict. Yenkevich retreated, taking Ensign Geeva with him, with security personnel in hot pursuit. The Chief of Security, Lieutenant Commander Tash Zubowskevich locked down the station, preventing ships from either leaving the base or docking.
Gala Hall Beta promptly became a makeshift sickbay instead of a party room as doctors and nurses flooded the hall, taking care of the injured. While the medical personnel were trying to manage the situation in aftermath of his actions, Yenkevich ran to a park area where security cornered him. However, Yenkevich made his escape by forcing Ensign Geeva to give her security override code, allowing him to beam away safely. Due to a virus that began running at the point of beam out, the transporter beam could not be traced. With no sign of him, the crew were left to clean up the mess he had left behind and life slowly returned to normal aboard the station.
Act Two
Stardate TBC
While the staff of the Starbase attempted to put things back together in the aftermath of the attack, envoys from both the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Star Empire arrive, to hash out details of an agreement to allow medical ships to cross into each other's ships. In addition to this, an investigation was scheduled to find the perpetrator and reasons behind the attack on the Gala Hall. Finally, station security was requested to identify and enact new measures to make the station safer and calm the civilian population. Captain Drawoh splits the command staff into three teams to attend to their assigned duties.
In the bowels of the station, an operative working for the same organisation behind the violence in the Gala Hall puts the second phase of their plan into action. Using a machine culled together using data from an incident on the ma: USS Voyager, the operative fractures time - so that further operatives can be placed in different points in the timeline of the Starbase. Once again, the Starbase is plunged into chaos.
One team finds themselves twelve years in the future and are attacked by the dominant species on the base, vicious alien "dogs" able to camouflage themselves. They are saved by the last of the previous inhabitants of the starbase, a small war weary crew and a handful of civilians fighting to keep the derelict station together, who have holed up in the command center. Once to safety, after initial distrust, the crews band together to repel an attack by another outside force.
The second team is sent twelve years in the past to a newly constructed Starbase 118. They encounter very little resistance and very little help. The only ones aboard the station are the builders, who are more concerned with the station construction leaving the stranded party to their own devices. They formulate a plan to contact the future.
The third team is left in the present, but find themselves faced with missing crew members, a contingent of Klingons, a Captain in sickbay and a Starbase fractured into different shards of time. One shard in particular, where the sole inhabitant is stuck in a three hour time loop, gives the team enough information to put together a plan to reverse the fractures and return the station to a point three hours in the past. The Starfleet crew hope this will give them enough time to find what caused the fractures and stop it from happening again. Under the command of the newly arrived first officer, they race against time to reverse the affects of the machine.
Lieutenant Commander T'Lea, Lieutenant Commander Julia Harden and Commander Sam Perkins travel back to a point three hours in the past to try and stop the operative, Forbes, and his associates from activating the device. The operation did not go smoothly and upon the approach to the device, a fire-fight broke out between the Starfleet Officers and Forbes' men.
Before she was assimilated back into the future timeline, Lieutenant Commander T'Lea was able to reach the device and throw it to Commander Perkins and faced with no other options, he destroyed the machine. As he was caught in the resulting explosion, the fractured temporal anomalies aboard the station collapsed, leaving only the natural timeline behind.
Act Three
Stardate TBC'
Though time aboard the Starbase had returned to normal, as the temporal anomalies collapsed the hound-like aliens from the Starbase's future found their way into the present had were now stalking the corridors of the station. With a diet of tachyons, and several of the officers covered in the particles, the crew were now in the direct path of the hounds.
Lieutenant Commander Zubowskivich was the first crew member to come under attack; bitten by one of the aliens, he was rescued by Lieutenant Jacen Fanel, Ensign Delinda Sharee and Lieutenant Geeva. The trio took him to sickbay to receive treatment, but it was only a temporary reprieve; another of the hounds soon arrived and attacked Commander Perkins, who was recuperating from the injuries he sustained destroying the temporal device. After driving the occupants of sickbay into the Chief Medical Officer's office, the alien was shot and killed.
In response to the attacks, Lieutenant Commander Stone locked the station down while a search was carried out for both those responsible for the temporal device and any further alien hounds. The search came to an end when the last remaining hound was attacked and killed by Klingons, after it had burst into the bar where Forbes had been hiding, killing him. The danger over, the lockdown was lifted and life began to return to normal; the Captain recovered from his unconscious state in sickbay and plans for a station festival were put into action by Lieutenant Geeva and Ensign Sharee.
Chapter Two: The Festival
Starbase 118 Ops was hosting a three day festival, organized by Lt. Geeva Kalpana and Lt.Jg.Delinda Sharee. Everyone was enjoying the festivities until an escaped convict from Betazed arrived on the station and attacked Lt.Cmdr. Tash Zubowskivich, Chief of Security, mind-raping him with her telepathic powers. Lt.Cmdr. Tash Zubowskivich enlisted the aide of F.O. Lt. Cmdr Stone and Lt. Cmdr. T'Lea and several other telepaths from the Reader's Guild in hopes of capturing this known fellon. Right in the middle of the festival, the plan to capture Armeni evolved into a rather disturbing fiasco. Civilians ended up running every which way as Cmdr.Stone and Cmdr. T'Lea attempted to gun down the telepath, Armeni. However, despite their efforts, Armeni got away, without a scratch...
Meanwhile, Lt. Cmdr Julia Harden, unknown to anyone, became possessed by Lady Goddess Rumbabah and romanced by Lt. Sanys, a clerk from Archives Dept. Dr. Harden later discovered she had been "sleep-walking" and her bionic leg, which had been implanted during a surgical proceedure was giving her some trouble. Due to her strange behaivor and sleep-walking episodes, Dr. Manor suggested she seek the aide of Counselor Sharee. She was removed from duty.
In addition, several new and old officers and civilians began to arrive on the station. Civilian Rian Tavis an engineering specialist, arrived and enjoyed the last day of the festival in the Twilights Edge. 1st Lt. Dade Adarnis, a Marine, transfered to the Starbase to head up the stations Marine complement. In addition, Civilian Paul Diamond, once the stations FO, arrived by transport and was detained, awaiting tranport to Earth. However, after a short rendezvous with his old flame, Lt. Cmdr. Dr. Julia Harden, his plans seemed to have changed.
Chapter Three: Mission Esogunot
Captain Rocar and crew are invited to a warring planet in hopes of a Federation envoy quelling the violence. But instead of peace talks, the crew find themselves caught in the cross-hairs of a bitter battle.
The crew of Starbase 118 Ops were sent out by Star Fleet Command to assist the Aerons and the Gargons of the planet Esogonut, in discussing terms of peace. The two races have been at war for nearly 100 years. It was the mission of the Starbase's crew to act as mediators during these negotiations. Senior officers were called aboard the station's new support vessel, The USS Aegis, a Norway class vessel. A meeting was held in the conference room where it was explained that the ship was heading to the planet Esogonut. Their mission was to mediate between two races on the planet who have been at war for 100 years. After the debriefing, the crew decided to practice mountian climbing since the terrain of Esogonutis mostly cliffs.
After a debriefing, the crew trained in the holodecks, practicing mountain climbing, while the ship headed towards Esogonut. During their approach towards the planet, a Federation freighter was in orbit of Esogonut. and hailed the USS Aegis. The freighter was selling arms to factions of Aerons and Gargons on the planet, but they pretened to be crippled enroute to Starbase 17. Captain Rocar split the crew into two away teams. Lt. Cmdr Stone's team would meet up with the Aeron leaders and Captain Rocar 's team would meet up with the Gargon leaders. Yet before the away teams dispursed and before the Aegis landed on the planet's surface, The USS Baltimore achieved orbit and beamed over a new Ensign, Dr. Jarak. The USS Baltimore noticed the FSS Unification in orbit and requested to search the vessel. The Aegis landed and sent out the away teams. Captain Rocar decided to put Lt. Cmdr Zubowskivich in charge of the team meeting with the Gargonswhile he dealt with the increasing problem involving the starships Unification and the Baltimore in orbit. The Aegis dropped off the away teams and headed back into orbit. The away team met up with the Aeron and Gargon leaders and proceeded towards the respective cities to prepare for the upcoming peace negotiations. Enroute to the Aeron city of Ehso, renegade Gargons attacked the Aeron welcoming party at the Gorge of Tes'het. Lt. Falcon and Lt. Geeva fell into the Gorge, while Jad'Ziarel, Captain of the Royal Aegon Guard, kidnapped Lt Cmdr Stone, Dr. Jarak and Lt. Hilzarie and took them to the Caves of Talor. Jad'Ziarel's brother, a male Aeron, followed Jad'Ziarel and helped the three captured Federation officers escape.
Efforts to assist the Aerons and Gargons negotiate peace are still pending... The crew of Starbase 118 was ordered by Starfleet Command to travel to the planet Esogunot and assist the two warring nations of Aerons and Gargon in their peace talks. Having prepared and having landed on the surface of Esogonut, the two away teams lead by Lt. Cmdr Cura Assanti-Stone and Lt. Cmdr Tash Zubowskivich parted. Stone's team traveled with the Aerons and Zubowskivich's team went with the Gargons. However, despite the declaration of a cease fire between the two nations, Assanti-Stone's away team were attacked at the Gorge of Tes'het by renegade Gargons armed with Romulan disrupters. In this attack, Lt. Rho Falcon and Lt. Geeva fell from their Aeron's grasp while crossing the Gorge by flight. Not only that, three of the away team members were kidnapped by renegade Aerons . Having been striped of com badges and gear, the 3 crew members were stuck with a group of renegade Aerons led by Jud'Ziarel, Captain of the Queen's Royal Guard. It was Jud'Ziarel's brother, Teleed who managed to free the three Federationers.
Meanwhile, the team with the Gargons reached the palace heights and were sitting at the feast when the Gargon King fell over dead. General Hagon, leader of the Gargon military accused the Federation group, as one of their party, Commander Zubowskivich had gone missing. The Gargon Military was swayed into action, forcing the away team with the Gargons into a POW camp, where they were worked and whipped. General Hagon then led half the Gargon military towards the Aeron City of Ehso. After some time, Lt. Sharee, having had breathing problems before enroute to the city, began having similar problems in the POW camp and was taken to be cared for. The away team, now captives, began thinking of a prison break. Elsewhere, in orbit of Esogonut, The USS Aegis, the USS Baltimore and the FSS Unification wrestled with words and actions as a deadly game of power was displayed. The end result being that the commanding officer of the USS Baltimore and the FO of the Baltimore were supposedly killed. Captain Rocar , aboard the USS Aegis, sent Commander Sam Perkins to command the Baltimore and find out what happened to the Captain. The Baltimore followed the FSS Unification towards Starbase 118, only to see the Unification fired upon and explode by a cloaked vessel. However, two lifeforms were saved from the Unification. Commander Perkins interrogated the two saved crewmembers of the Unification and ultimately ran into conflict with a cloaked Romulan ship, the Medos.
Back on the surface of Esogonut, Prince Esot, now King of the Gargons mourned his father's death. However, he had a change of heart after speaking with Lt. Sharee, counselor, via PADD. Her words convinced the new King to take action. He freed the remainder of the away team from the POW camp. During this time, Captain Rocar returned the Aegis to the planet and he beamed to the Gargon City entrance. Captain Drawoh demanded to speak with the King. Plans were made to meet with the Aerons to discuss peace.
Chapter: In Progress
Act One
Stardate 238507.28
The Deltan transport Niro docks with Starbase 118; experiencing engine troubles which their own engineer cannot solve, they request assistance from Starfleet engineers to fix the problem so that they can carry on with their journey. Fleet Captain Rocar Drawoh and Lieutenant Delinda Sharee meet with the Captain of the Niro, a Deltan woman called Selyse, to discuss the situation. After an awkward conversation, with the Starfleet officers trying to fight off the effects of Deltan pheromones, Fleet Captain Drawoh decides to send his Chief Engineer (and helpfully, android - thus immune to Deltan pheromones) Lieutenant Rho Falcon to investigate the engine problem.
Elsewhere on the station, the investigation into the illegal dumping and the attack on Lieutenant Kalpana Geeva continues. After a fruitless telepathic questioning session with Lieutenant Cyrus Webb Lieutenant Geeva is discharged from sickbay, equipped with a new supportive exoskeleton.
Ensign Jansen Orrey approached Kennedy Wysteria regarding a talent show in her establishment, the “Event Horizon”. A deal was struck and Fleet Captain Drawoh readily agreed.
The talent show opened with a speech from Captain Drawoh, officially welcoming the new members of the crew; Lieutenant Quinn Reynolds as the station's new Starfleet Intelligence Liaison, Lieutenant Cyrus Webb as the new Chief of Security and Lieutenant Pedro Ramirez as the new Chief Science Officer. Ensigns Indigo Rayne, Tavana Sheppard and Tanang were welcomed as an Archaeological and Historical Officer, Tactical Officer and Operations Officers respectively. Finally, Lieutenants Geeva and Sharee both received a promotion to Lieutenant Commander.
Act Two
Stardate 238509.02
As the talent show comes to its conclusion, power suddenly begins to dip across the Starbase, prompting the Command Tower to issue a rare station-wide Yellow Alert. Communications and internal transport fail almost immediately as the power is drained from the station by an unknown source, while the crew attempt to report to their duty stations.
In response to losing communication with the Trojan class spacedock, Starfleet dispatches the nearby USS Hargraves, captained by Commander Walter Brunsig, to investigate.
