Taking Command of Starbase 118
In Mid-2384 Rocar relinquished command of the USS Constitution to his First Officer: Daydan Taboo and transferred to take command of the much larger facility: Starbase 118. Trying to avoid a big welcome ceremony by beaming over quietly to a little used cargo area, he nonetheless ended up finding himself materialising in a formal reception to meet his new senior crew. Leaving a lot of close old friends behind on the Constitution, the initial reception on Starbase 118 should have been a chance to meet his new officers. The occasion was, however, marred by a terrorist attack as retibution for actions on Magnus IV. A number of Rocar's new senior staff were injured and his new first officer was killed on his first day on the job, Although there were casualties and Rocar was caught without a phaser, the Captain was unarmed on this occasion. In the aftermath of the attack Rocar prepared for a diplomatic exchange meeting with the Klingons and Romulans, but as the delegates arrived on the Starbase it soon became clear that not all was as it seemed.
Having greeted the Klingon delegation, Rocar was waiting to meet the Romulan part when he collapsed unexpectedly on the Main Flight Deck. It was a surprise to everyone that someone of Rocar's health and physique had collapsed so unexpectantly. Upon regaining consciousness, Rocar managed to convince everyone that it was due to the Corbarian Punishment Chip embedded in his neck. However, deep down he knew that it was also his Syntanegtzan's Disease entering the next stage of development. Having self-diagnosed himself with the initial signs of Syntanegtzan's 2 years earlier whilst on Duronis II, Rocar had kept his ailment a secret from everyone including his family. The Captain now began to take extra precautions to hide the symptoms. This includes some self-prescribed medication in hyposprays stored in hidden boxes in his quarters and office. Occasionally, Rocar's arm or legs will start to shake slightly, at which point he'll keep his arm behind his back and, so far, nobody has noticed anything unusual
Rocar and his crew discovered that the terrorist bombs on the Starbase had been designed to affect the space time continum. This was why the deactivated Corbarian Chip was no longer dormant. Luckily, Rocar's crew was able to solve the problems threatening the station and ensure safety was restored.
Mission to Esogunot
Life continued as normal on the Starbase. Rocar got a new hobby by aquiring one of the Starbase's allotment plots and set about planting and growing his own food. He hoped to combine the fruit of his labours with some of the fresh food products purchaseable from the Starbase's commercial sector so as to be able to pursue his hobby of cooking real, fresh tasting foods.
By late 2384, Rocar's new crew were soon comfortable with one another and he led a diplomatic mission to the planet Esogunot aboard the USS Aegis. Having been asked to mediate between two waring races, the Aerons and the Gargons, Rocar had to send two away teams in his stead as he remained on the USS Aegis to respond to a distress call. Finding himself at the centre of a space battle, Rocar and the Aegis managed to neutralise the threat before returning to the planet. Beaming down to meet the Aerons, the Ktarian's heightened sense of smell found it difficult to cope with the poultry like stench in the palace. Having been looking forward to the opportunity of rock climbing, the Captain never got his dream. However, a tentative peace was eventually negotiated (due to the Gargon crown prince and Aeron princess forming an unexpected allegiance). Rocar set about retrieving his injured and missing crew before heading back to the Starbase.
Upon their return, Rocar was promoted to Fleet Captain at the end of 2384/ start of 2385.
