Victory Current Mission Briefing: Difference between revisions

A few days ago, on Stardate 238301.03, right after the initial joint Federation-Tanugan forces started to flush out the remaining terrorists on Tanuga IV, a platoon of Starfleet marines returned from one of the planets and were suppose to rendezvous with the USS Nubulus near the Acmar System. Their return was a routine operation, but something went wrong. Because of what sensors explain as a navigational error, the troop transport ship ended up somewhere between Romulan and Klingon space, and vanished. On the galactic map of these sectors, their last location is displayed by means of a red arrow in an area that has been designated as Celipentha Station.<br><br>   

According to Starfleet Intelligence, who seem to have quite the interest in this mission and had the info handy rather fast, the Romulan Tal Shiar has taken command of a derelict station left from the Dominion Wars, outside Romulan Space, they call it Celipentha Station. It is believed the Romulans use it as a prison for enemies of the Empire and a base for operations for possible Romulan intelligence missions to the Klingon Empire.  Starfleet Command is convinced our marines are being held there and they want them back home.<br><br>

Unfortunately, the marines are not held prisoner officially by the Romulans and the Federation has no real proof to use diplomatic means. To solve this problem, the USS Victory is ordered to go on a top secret and unofficial cloak and dagger mission to free the Starfleet Marines. Since the bond between Federation and Romulans is not exactly stable, it is vital to retain full invisibility and stealth during the operation. Although the station is not officially Romulan or even officially exists, failure could mean international incident resulting in another war.
