With her refit nearing completion, the ship is welcoming aboard it’s fighter wing and 3 pairs of prototype fighters for field testing. Each has its own quirks that need to be worked out. A test range has been decided on, a rocky system designated 7AE38, that has a single M-class world that supports an industrial-age sentient species. The ship plans to use the asteroid field for its test runs of the fighters, choosing the actual location of the tests based on where the M-class world is in its orbit so as to put the maximum distance and the system’s star in between them. With a little planning and luck, the inhabitants of the world will not see a thing. | With her refit nearing completion, the ship is welcoming aboard it’s fighter wing and 3 pairs of prototype fighters for field testing.

The Ronin has, after a small delay, received her new fighters and has launched for the appointed test range. The crew has been split into teams to analyze the problems plaguing the prototypes. Commander Walker and a small group has just returned after a ‘test run’ of a Maul that happened to pick up a missing officer and lead to some pretty severe damage to the vessel as well. The last pre-test meetings are underway and the crew is anxious to get on with the field experiments. | |||
==Stardate 238407.10== | |||
The USS Ronin, recently recommissioned after a refit of her primary systems was tasked with the mission of conducting operational flight tests for three experimental new Federation fighters. The fighters, designated the XF-353 “Boomerang”, XF-352 “Hammerhead” and the XF-354 “Gremlin” are each plagued by unique design problems. | |||
In an effort to work out the final problems before productions, the Ronin’s senior staff officers were divided into three groups, each assigned to study and if possible identify possible solutions to the issues plaguing the fighter prototypes to which they are assigned. A semi isolated region of space, designated as system 7AE38, was picked as the testing grounds. The region was adjacent to an inhabited planet that was known to have achieved industrial technology. Due to the presence of a thick asteroid field, however, it was determined that the tests could proceed without worry of discovery. | |||
Test zones were mapped and the flight operations and testing teams began their tests. During the first stage of the tests, there was a mishap with the tactical system aboard one of the two Gremlins, which fired on and damaged a Hammerhead’s drive systems. Almost simultaneously, a sudden subspace ripple disabled all three test flight wings and severely damages the USS Ronin. The source of this ripple is discovered to be from the Starship Sya, which has just conducted their first warp drive tests. This proves that the technical advancement of the species inhabiting the M-Class planet in the 7AE38 system has been significantly underestimated. | |||
The Natives have attempted to establish contact with the USS Ronin, either unaware of the damage that their subspace ripple has wreaked on the Federation vessels, or uncaring of those results. While the natives seem genuine enough, there was a healthy amount of hesitation on the part of the Ronin’s Commander, due especially to the unexpected nature of the encounter. | |||
==Stardate 238408.08== | |||
After detecting a new warp-capable species where one shouldn’t have been, the Ronin started piecing things together. Faint Cardassian warp signatures were detected in a nearby system and a recon mission was organized. Meanwhile, meeting the aliens under First Contact protocols was undertaken, with an away team visiting the alien vessel first, then the senior staff of the Sya-Negan vessel visiting the Ronin. Meanwhile, the crew was still investigating something affecting crewmembers aboard by heightening their negative emotions. | |||
The mission wrapped up with the alien ship towed back to its homeworld and a Starfleet engineering team left on the planet to help resolve the issues with the subspace pulse that the alien warp drive created. They also have instructions to subtly try to figure out where and how this culture made such a huge jump technologically and if there was any sort of outside influence on them. | |||
The Ronin, on the other hand, is heading back to Deep Space 17 for some much deserved shore leave. | |||
