With the craft built, the crew sets the three astronauts out into space just before a Q appears on the bridge. Splitting into multiple entities, the Q tries to tempt each officer on the bridge with something that they might really like. Some officers are taken to other places to get their offer, while others remain on the bridge. All decline the offers, and the Q suddenly poofs them and their ship in front of their destination, Starbase 118. Everything appears as it should have been in history and the crew wonders if they really did 'run into' the three historical figures from the past. Shocked, but okay, the crew puts the events behind them and begins the transition to their new home | With the craft built, the crew sets the three astronauts out into space just before a Q appears on the bridge.

===Missions on SB118 Ops=== | |||
--Stardate: 238807.10-- | |||
With barely time to unpack the new crew of Starbase 118, under the command of Captain Andrus Jaxx, started their new assignment with a bang! Carefully planned terrorist attacks rocked the station, knocking out virtually all of critical systems and their backups. | |||
Stranded throughout the station and without functioning transporters or turbolifts, the crew must negotiate the damage of their new home, terrified civilians, Bajoran terrorists and injured comrades in order to make it back to the hub in order to respond to this unexpected and unprovoked attack. | |||
Through hard work and sheer determination, the station's engineering staff eventually restored main power, while the medical staff transfer to the docked mercy-ship, the USS Braveheart, in order to treat the casualties. As things are starting to look up, the crew are again rocked by the death of one of their own, Second Officer Lieutenant Commander Guy Perry Hunt. | |||
--Stardate: 238808.14-- | |||
Though all space traffic has been halted, a lone freighter approached the Starbase and refused to respond to any hails asking them to halt. On what looked like a collision course, the freighter began cycling through docking procedures and the crew suddenly realized that the terrorists had someone smart on the inside. With access to all but the most secure systems compromised, the crew faced a terrifying reality; hostile takeover or worse. | |||
Meanwhile, the Scarlet Brotherhood's plan has failed, unbeknownst to the crew of SB118 or the terrorists, long before it ever came together on the station. Far away from Starbase 118, the ultimate weapon, which was being transported to the station following the initial bombs, was stopped by the crew of the USS Challenger. Reports don't reach the officers aboard the station, however, for a while longer. | |||
With the freighter on a collision course, Lt. Commander Kevin Breeman must work fast to devise a virus that would prevent the ultimate goal of the terrorists from being attained. However, his strong sense of morals prevent him from simply killing them, so instead, the virus simply robs the ship from power so that Starfleet personnel can beam over to secure the ship. The terrorists, however, were not keen on that plan. | |||
--Stardate: 238808.25-- | |||
Shortly following the disabling act, the senior staff board the USS Victory in order to tractor the freighter away from the station. Because it is full of explosives of various types, it still poses a real threat to the station in its close proximity. It didn't take long for the Victory to leave the barely powered doors of the spacedock, making her way around the station to the location of the freighter. When the ship came into view, the crew got a glimpse of something they didn't expect. The bajoran freighter was attacking the fighters that had taken up a defensive stance around it. | |||
Joining in the fray, the Victory tried to protect the fighters. The move was a success, and things seemed to be calming down until a new threat came in; the freighter was overloading their warp core intentionally. Facing a huge explosion, the Victory immediately tractored the ship with just enough time to move it safely away from the station. Again, the Victory succeeded, but barely and not without a cost. What was only moments before a beautiful starship, had now become a burned and broken mess that had to limp back to spacedock. | |||
--Stardate: 238808.31-- | |||
Damaged during the firefight with the suicidal terrorist freighter above Starbase 118, the USS Victory has limped home for repairs in drydock. With the majority of the terrorists now awaiting judiciary hearings, the operations crew of Starbase 118 is taking a much deserved rest. | |||
However, the crew still faces obstacles beyond simple repairs and re-staffing: Tensions along the border with the crumbling Romulan Empire have come to a head as the cunning Romulan Admiral Roldis hovers just beyond the neutral zone, hungrily eyeing the damaged Federation Station and the sector she protects. | |||
A Chief Medical Officer from a Civillian Freighter has arrived, facing trial for illegal experimentation on the crew in her care, adding stress to an already over-worked JAG. While the Marine Corps works with Starfleet Engineers to create a new, more robust starfleet fighter design. | |||
Junior and Senior officers alike struggle to incorporate the dangers of serving in Starfleet, as the emotional fallout from the loss of Lieutenant Commander Hunt still hangs heavily over the crew’s morale. Despite these troubles, the crew is carrying on. | |||
Headway has been made in returning station life to normal. Shops are again opening, schools are returning to session, and the station’s civilian population has not given into one of fear and retaliation, leaving Starbase 118 once again a shining example of the Federation’s spirit. | |||
--''Stardate: 238810.01''-- | |||
A Romulan Science vessel discovers a Pergium deposits on [[Thracia 2]], a small planet near the Klingon border. Due to location of the planet, the Klingons are keen to also benefit from the discovery. The planet is inhabited by a pre-warp proto-Vulcan race whose society would be wiped out if the proposed strip mining is undertaken and the Federation are very concerned about this. | |||
In accordance with its purpose, Starbase 118 plans negotiations that would save the race and keep peace along the border, but a new contender is soon to rise... | |||
--''Stardate: 238810.28''-- | |||
The USS Victory is dispatched to the planet in order to protect it from the two sides squabbling over the rare material found there. Both the Klingons and the Romulans have sent ships to watch over the other; a situation that could quickly become the first battle in a new war. Though they know little more than the fact that they are walking into a ticking time bomb, the crew soon arrives at the planet to a void of empty space. | |||
Meanwhile, delegates from the Klingon empire and the Romulan ruling powers, as well as a Ferengi ambassador, arrive at the station and begin to prepare themselves for the coming talks. In the shadows, yet undeclared, a new alliance is acquiring the weapons and ships that they will need to enact their master plan. | |||
--''Stardate: 238811.23''-- | |||
The USS Victory might have seen nothing upon entrance to the system, but that didn't mean there wasn't anything there. One by one, for various reasons, ships begin decloaking all around them. At the same time, a strange beam of energy, coming from one of the now present Klingon vessels, is seemingly randomly bringing down the shields of both the Victory and one of the Romulan ships. With the Klingon General shooting in all directions, hell bent on forcing any other Romulan ships in the vicinity to decloak as well, the Romulan commander shows her hand and threatens to attack. | |||
Tensions spike as the Klingon General moves his fleet towards the Romulan fleet. Desperate for a way to keep the peace for a short while longer, Lt. Commander Nicholotti orders the Victory into the center of the battlefield between the two aggressors. With the only thing keeping the two sides at bay being the chance of shooting a Federation vessel, the crew struggles to not only keep all weapons sheathed, but to stay alive. | |||
Aboard Starbase 118, a new delegate seeks out Captain Jaxx to declare a new alliance of planets in the Thracian system. With this new information, Jaxx enters the gridlocked talks intent on finding a peaceful resolution for all, including the newcomers. | |||
--''Stardate: 238812.01''-- | |||
With tensions running high, the Romulan Commander Creena contacts the USS Victory to reveal the new Thracian Alliance to Lt. Commander Kalianna Nicholotti shortly after the same had been revealed, unbeknownst to the crew of the Victory, on Starbase 118. Confirmed by a report received moments later from Captain Jaxx, the information changed the approach that the crew of the Victory had to take in the situation. | |||
Meanwhile, an underhanded plot by a rogue Klingon 'diplomat' is discovered when the real ambassador to the talks wakes from a drugged state to find someone in his place. Putting the pieces together, the Klingon ambassador Ja'Dar finds that a fleet of ships had been sent with instructions to instigate a war with the Romulan Empire at the planet in question. With moments to spare, the ambassador contacts the fleet and warns them to return home or face dishonor. | |||
With the unveiling of the Alliance to the ambassadorial representatives on the Station, a resolution is quick to come. After uncovering the plot to start war, both the Klingons and the Romulans agree to leave the planet in the hands of the Thracian Alliance, whom has been found to be doing business with the Ferengi and have acquired Ferengi ships to back up their cause. Upon their arrival in the Thracian system, all but one of the Klingon ships turned and left for home. Now, both the Thracian fleet and the crew of the Victory wait to see just what the desperate-for-an-honorable-death Klingon General will do. | |||
--''Stardate: 238812.07''-- | |||
After a tense few moments, General Ma'tag and his ship, the Luk'la fade into history as they cloak and turn away from the planet. He knows that he's losing the chance to die honorably in battle, but being unwilling to be the catalyst of a whole war, he sees no other choice. | |||
--''Stardate: 238901.08''-- | |||
The senior staff enjoys a night away from the worries involved in running a huge station like Starbase 118. With the awards for the year handed out, the late night hours are danced away in The Retreat. No one has any idea that the coming days would bring anything more than a very welcome getaway on a planet that has something for everyone. | |||
*''Three resorts were created around the globe, in different climates. Visitors only had access to the resort grounds, as the rest of the planet was reserved for the privacy of the Echevar citizens. The tower boasted the finest of the three resorts, both in amenities and climate. The waters were bright blue, and very warm. Sonic barriers kept all sea creatures outside the habitat zone, providing safety from the planets sea life. The other two resorts were not as rich in warmth. Echevar Hills Tower had beautiful views of the canyons, and with it came cooler winds. It was a beautiful place for hiking and outdoor activities. They realized that some species enjoyed hunting various creatures. As a means of population control, older wild animals were transported to the hunting zones to serve as prey. It helped to balance their eco system, as well as turn a profit. The final resort, Echevar Peak Tower, was in the mountains, covered in snow. The unique atmosphere and elements of the planet caused it to produce light blue snow. It was much different from the white snow on Earth, but only in color. All visitors had access to all three resorts, and could transport to carry out various activities.'' | |||
Things aren't always as they seem, though, and when the body of a Starfleet officer washes up on the beach at one of the resorts, the Crew finds themselves back on duty as they try to uncover the mystery and find out just what kind of danger they have put themselves in. | |||
