Drawoh-Hilzarie, Rocar/Personal History: Starfleet Years: Difference between revisions

NB: For Rocar's Personal History before Joining Starfleet see: [[Drawoh-Hilzarie, Rocar/Personal History: Early Years| Rocar's Early Years (Before 2379)]]

 

Once life had returned to normal on the Starbase, Rocar was part of a small team that boarded a Ferengi vessel and discovered that it was part of their prototype fleet -all equipped with cloaking device.  

Times are rarely quiet on the Starbase and shortly after being promoted to Lt. Jg. Rocar was forced to receive his first combat experience during a terrorist attack on his new home which nearly made him resign from Starfleet. Latter that year Rocar became romantically involved with the Starbase's counsellor, [[Hilzarie, Gwendolyn|Gwen Hilzarie]]. Although Rocar had thought he could never fall in love again, the beautiful Betazoid woman managed to prove him wrong. Rocar continued to live a very happy life on the Starbase where he now feels fully at home and amongst friends.  

Towards the end of 2379 Rocar was temporarily assigned to the Prometheus class USS DOMINANCE as part of the crew sent on a diplomatic mission to Ferenginar to negotiate with the Ferengi over their development of cloaking technology that Rocar, Hebron and McCall had discovered on a Ferengi ship earlier that year.

 

During this mission to the Delta Quadrant, Rocar was taken prisoner by a humanoid slave race called the Thiasis. They wanted the doctor's help in preventing a medical condition, which their rulers (the Reptilioid Corbarians) were using against them. The medical condition was in fact an advanced accelerated genetic mutation which turned the Thiasis into the big foot like, hairy, Slothian Soldiers (who were loyal to the Corbarians.)  

 

Cleared for active duty but not for medical practice, Rocar still has to under go two hours of the punishment chip each day, though he can choose when to take his dosage. Leaving Betazed, he and Hilzarie headed out to join the [[USS Constitution-B|USS Constitution]] in the Daris sector where they joined the away team that were examining the mystery of the abandoned federation colony on Daris II.  

Setting out on an exploratory mission of the Delta Quadrant the [[USS_Constitution-B|USS Constitution]] left the Starbase and passed through the Sector 118 wormhole anomaly. Arriving on the campsite planet the crew undertook some shoreleave time before the unexpected discovery of [[Borg]] activity in the region. This prompted a call-back of Capt.Y'Shirad by Starfleet command and Rocar was forced to step up as First Officer. In the job for barely a minute, Rocar and the ship found themselves trapped in an area of dead space and in combat with a [[Borg]] cube. Sacrificing the Saucer section to dispower the enemy vessel, the [[USS_Constitution-B|USS Constitution]] anaged to survive but badly damaged and reduced to minimum operating capacity. Rocar was therefore then sent with an away team to the recently discovered USS DEFIANT 1764 in an attempt to find an alternative power source for their ship which would allow it to break free of it entrapment in dead space.  

Whilst onboard the USS DEFIANT 1764; Rocar team inadvertently triggered a temporal time loop by positioning a shuttle, the starship, a tractor beam and an energy transfer at the same points in subspace at three different points in time. The result was that the DEFIANT 1764 once again began to drift and Rocar, was lost in time with Ensign Dar. Luckilly, both he and the team mates on the shuttle calculated what had happened and soon repositioned everything to join up the energy transfer and complete the time loop.  

Given a second chance, the team gather the energy manually whilst fighting off an encounter with the [[Borg]]. Rocar was forced to shoot a young Ensign who had been assimilated and although he knew it was the only humane and command solution at the time, the [[Ktarian]] still harbours great regrets. It was then that he discovered a chip in the back of the [[Borg]] drones' necks 'similar to the corbarian punishment chip he'd had attatched to his nervous system. Ripping out the [[Borg]]'s spine along with the chip he returned the finds to his lab on the [[USS_Constitution-B|USS Constitution]] for further examination in the hope of solving his problem 'breaking free of his punishment.  

Returning to the [[USS_Constitution-B|USS Constitution]] by shuttlecraft; Rocar finds the Captain missing 'on a mission to the nearby [[Borg]] cube, then as the [[Borg]] cube exploded a shockwave hits the [[USS_Constitution-B|USS Constitution]] (further damaging the vessel which was scarred by entering the deadspace and lost it's saucer section to the encounter with the [[Borg]]) As Rocar was thrown to the deck with Gwen and the rest of the crew, he suddenly proposed to the Betazoid woman against the amazingly bright backdrop of the exploding [[Borg]] cube that had triggered of a chain reaction in a set of spatial threads. This massed explosion allowed for an opening in dead space and using the energy they had brought back from the DEFIANT 1764, Rocar ordered the ship out of the deadspace and back to safety.  

Captain Hebron and his away team survived but were all ridden to sickbay, so it fell to Rocar to get what was left of the once powerful starship back home. Crossing the sector 118 wormhole anomaly was not easy; the route was far from calm and the ship's beaten stardrive section took a further battering as she was flung out of the wormhole and did a double forward role, plummeting spectacularly into an asteroid field. This was in stark contrast to the [[USS_Constitution-B|USS Constitution]] ’s torpedo salute departure from the Starbase earlier that year, and Rocar sat with shame in the command seat as the [[USS_DOMINANCE|USS DOMINANCE]], [[USS_TIGER|USS TIGER]] and [[USS_PHOENIX-C|USS PHOENIX]] came to their rescue and toed them home.
