On stardate 238908.1 news reached Fleet Captain [[Turner, Toni|Turner]] of a [[Klingon]] Ambassador en route to [[Duronis II]] intent on establishing an embassy. Sensing that all may not be as it seemed, both the [[Embassy of Duronis II|Embassy]] and the [[USS Thunder]] were prepared for possible hostilities. An initial meeting between the major powers already represented upon the [[Laudean]] homeworld proved fruitless, other than the discovery that Tel’Peh the [[Klingon]] Ambassador was no diplomat. Long range communications were disrupted by an unknown cause shortly afterwards and while the cause was being determined, Starfleet Intelligence discovered secret meetings between the [[Klingon|Klingons]] and the [[Scarlet Brotherhood]] in the Quentisi Mountain Range and a massing of troops in the desert. Further reports revealed that the enemy would soon possess a combined fleet of 30 ships including the Vengeance, a Defiant class escort. Shortly afterward an explosion destroyed the [[Romulan]] Embassy, leaving Major [[Parker, Hannibal | On stardate 238908.1 news reached Fleet Captain [[Turner, Toni|Turner]] of a [[Klingon]] Ambassador en route to [[Duronis II]] intent on establishing an embassy.

On stardate 238908.24 a [[Klingon]] armada of 11 warships decloaked and began firing on the [[USS Thunder|Thunder]], killing Commander Janzen and most of the beta-shift bridge crew with the initial wave of fire. While the Cheyenne class ship tried to fend off the attackers, the commander of the [[Romulan]] forces, D’Nal Merek, and Fleet Captain [[Turner, Toni|Turner]] created a hasty alliance against the aggressors. Honoring the agreement, the [[Romulan]] detachment pitched in against the [[Klingon]] forces. With the [[USS Thunder|Thunder]]’s shields failing and the enemy relentless, Merek began to transport the crew off the doomed vessel. As the fighting raged, a general evacuation of the Embassy was executed and the civilians were prepared to be flown out. | On stardate 238908.24 a [[Klingon]] armada of 11 warships decloaked and began firing on the [[USS Thunder|Thunder]], killing Commander Janzen and most of the beta-shift bridge crew with the initial wave of fire.

Unbeknown to the both the [[Klingon|Klingons]] and Fleet Captain [[Turner, Toni|Turner]], Commander [[Vess, Alucard|Vess]], who had been on leave, returned with a small Federation contingent and immediately joined in the battle. The combined forces were able to turn the tide of the [[Klingon]] attack and save the [[USS Thunder-A|Thunder]] from destruction. After taking on the civilians and Ambassador, plans to attack the remaining vessels of the [[Scarlet Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] while still in the sandbar were made. | Unbeknown to the both the [[Klingon|Klingons]] and Fleet Captain [[Turner, Toni|Turner]], Commander [[Vess, Alucard|Vess]], who had been on leave, returned with a small Federation contingent and immediately joined in the battle.

Meanwhile, on the planet's surface, the [[Klingon]]/[[Scarlet Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] invasion force led a pitched assault against [[Laudean]] militia forces and entrenched Starfleet officers who had not made it to the [[USS Thunder|Thunder]]. As battle raged, the Federation [[Embassy of Duronis II|Embassy]] was captured by the enemy.

As battle raged, the Federation [[Embassy of Duronis II|Embassy]] was captured by the enemy. Assembling the few officers that were left, Fleet Captain [[Turner, Toni|Turner]] was able to draw on her career-long experience as a medic to patch up [[Parker, Hannibal|Hannibal Parker]], who had in fact survived the destruction. While battle raged between the USS Rodimus Prime under the command of [[Vess, Alucard|Alucard Vess]] in orbit, [[Turner, Toni|Turner]]'s team assisted [[Laudean]] forces in Bondi in order to repel the invasion. Only then did they realise that they would need to cut out the infection that had set upon Duronis II at its roots. | ||
With the [[USS Thunder|Thunder]] on the brink of destruction and a marine-led rescue party attempting to evacuate all remaining personnel aboard, the tide of the battle seemed to be going against the Federation, [[Romulan]] and [[Laudean]] alliance, but they refused to give in. Pressing home their advantage on the planet's surface, the [[Scarlet Brotherhood]] commanders, Tallis Meral and Tallis Kern were killed in a confrontation in the mountains, while a final assault from the [[Romulan]] and Federation ships turned the [[Klingon|Klingons]] away. Only after a final, tireless assault on the [[Embassy of Duronis II|Duronis II]] grounds was the dust allowed to settle. The Federation had their victory, but with the destruction of the [[USS Thunder|Thunder]] and the [[Laudean|Laudeans]] renewing their questions about the wisdom of a Federation presence on their world, it was pyrrhic at best... | With the [[USS Thunder|Thunder]] on the brink of destruction and a marine-led rescue party attempting to evacuate all remaining personnel aboard, the tide of the battle seemed to be going against the Federation, [[Romulan]] and [[Laudean]] alliance, but they refused to give in.
