Ralaaram Ocala: Difference between revisions

Slowly, they gained more and more support, silencing their critics with threats or physical violence.  Solius built up a power base among his core followers and very quickly, things began moving from peaceful advocacy to outright violence.  Their first "combat" action came when a protest outside of the [[Romulan Star Navy]] regional office within the colony turned violent.  Ocala forces raided the compound of all medical supplies, some light sidearms, and exiled the garrison from the colony.  A short time later, they overpowered a Romulan freighter delivering supplies to colony and executed any member of the crew who did not immediate join their ranks.  Over the next few weeks, Ocala forces outfitted the freighter with illegal obtained weaponry and dubbed it {{The Revenge}}.  Having trained on simulators, a select group of Ocala soldiers left the colony and began to raid smaller ships traveling through the shipping lanes.

Slowly, Solius and his followers expanded their fleet to include four combat vessels: {{The Revenge}}, which served as the flagship, the {{Basilisk}}, a converted Erewon-Class ship, the {{Demon}}, a converted Bajoran freighter, and the {{Rebena}}, a heavily armed, but small mining ship and named after Solius's youngest daughter.  The group also used a number of smaller support craft.  Despite taking heavy losses in their initial raids, the Ocala terrorists began to hone their skills.  Their raids became quicker and deadlier and they started targeting larger and larger craft.  Eventually, [[Starfleet]] took notice and sent the [[USS Allentown]] under the command of Lieutenant Commander [[Quinn Gibson]] to dismantle the organization and capture its leader.
