When they eventually caught up, the Thunder was already engaged in a battle with a Scimitar-class [[Romulan]] vessel known as the Wraith. Several teams were beamed over to the Wraith when it became clear that Waltas and Turner had taken the fight to the vessel's bridge. As a Security Officer, Gogi co-led a team with Science Officer Delan Han, tasked with disabling the Wraith's main weapon, however, during a fire fight with some of the Romulan crew, an explosion severely injured Han's face, leaving him blinded. With the [[Trill]] insisting he was able to continue, Gogi became his eyes and between them, they were able to accomplish their mission. | When they eventually caught up, the Thunder was already engaged in a battle with a Scimitar-class [[Romulan]] vessel known as the Wraith.

'''Invasion''' | |||
With all three of Til'ahn's Starfleet ships off chasing Eden Redstone (The Thunder-A, the Thor and the [[USS Bronwyn]]), the Romulan Empire seized their opportunity and launched an invasion of the [[Laudean]] homeworld. However, with the aid of Romulan Republic forces, the three Starfleet vessels were able to return quicker than expected to defend [[Til'ahn]]. With forces split between ships and ground troops, Gogi elected to stay on board the Thor and man the Tactical position in the absence of Major Parker, a decision that led to another difficult moment for the Bardeezan. With the Empire's forces all but beaten, the lead Romulan ship sped toward Til'ahn in a last ditch suicide run. With no other options available, the Thor as well as the other allied ships in the vicinity, concentrated their fire power on the enemy vessel and blew it to smithereens, minimising the chance of debris falling onto populated areas below. Despite the fact that they had saved thousands, if not millions of lives by doing this, the incident gave Gogi pause as he reflected on the futility of war and the bizarre attitudes of those who would rather die and take their crew with them, than surrender when beaten. | |||
===USS Apollo-A=== | |||
'''Project Full Circle''' | |||
Having achieved much in his relatively short time at the Embassy, Gogi was given a choice to remain, or to be part of the re-launching of the Odyssey-class ship the [[USS Apollo-A]] as First Officer. Though the increase in rank certainly helped, Gogi took the posting especially because the Apollo represented everything he had joined Starfleet for. The Apollo was to be assigned to the Delta Quadrant in a ten year mission of exploration. The chance to explore the mostly uncharted Delta Quadrant and potentially encounter new forms of life and new civilizations, was too good an offer to turn down. So, with a degree of both sadness and excitement, the Bardeezan bid farewell to his friends on Til'ahn and set off on his next adventure. | |||
After being welcomed aboard by their new Commanding Officer, Rear Admiral [[Renos]], the crew's first obligation was to observe the ceremonial handing over of the ship. The Apollo's refit had been overseen by the [[Zakdorn]], in particular, the incumbent Stratigo, [[Bokzadema Bokzadeshti]]. Despite some slight historical tension between the Zakdorn and Starfleet, the hand over went without a hitch and the Apollo was soon on its way to the Delta Quadrant. | |||
