Starbase 118: Ops Mission Archive Database

Mission I: "The Crash of the Cerberas"

Shortly after Commander Leo Handley-Page took command of StarBase 118 Ops, the crew found themselves weathering an ion storm. The storm disabled the base's transporters and sent minor disruptions throughout the computer systems. But disaster struck when the SS Cerberas, a civilian freighter coming in to dock, lost control and crashed into the special ops tower of the station. The Cerberas suffered heavy damage, embedding a nacelle into the side of the station and suffering major hull breeches.

Commander Handley-Page immediately mobilized a rescue team led by Dr. Velana to evacuate injured crew and civilians from the damaged Special Ops tower, and another team led by Lt. Commander Taybrim to evacuate any survivors from the Cerberas and investigate what caused the ship to lose control in such a drastic way. Meanwhile the Ops control officers assess the situation and try to find a way to protect the other ships trying to dock from both the ion storm and the dangerous debris from the Cerberas accident.

Dr. Velana's team finds many injured, including several civilian reporters trapped in a fire-damaged section, and a group of crewmembers that have been overwhelmed by the fire suppression system. In Ops, the control room crew postulates that the Cerberas might have been sabotaged, or it might be a distraction for some sort of attack against the Starbase. This theory is supported when the crew finds evidence that the Cerberas sustained weapons damage before it crashed into StarBase 118.

Meanwhile Lt. Commander Taybrim's team head over using the runabout Aramis. They confirm that the Cerberas was badly damaged by weapons fire, including damage to its engines. They also find that the Cerberas is carrying an unusually large amount of antimatter. Only faint life signs can be read onboard, and the life support is failing. So the away team suits up in EVA suits and heads onboard the Cerberas. They find the cargo area empty, and work their way to the bridge where the team find that the original Barzan crew has been murdered by someone several days before the crash. With some investigation they find that not only is there a device emitting false life signs, but there is a bomb onboard the Cerberas that threatens the entire station!
