The powers within the Region do not always see eye to eye, and this was shown quite dramatically in the [[Gorn Conflict of 2383]]. | The powers within the Region do not always see eye to eye, and this was shown quite dramatically in the [[Gorn Conflict of 2383]]. The first casualty of the conflict was the FTU [[Furies Furnace Base|base]] at [[Furies Furnace]], destroyed by the invading Gorn. The base had been the location where the [[Furies Furnace Treaty]] had been signed, which had since led to good relations between the Federation and the FTU. The base was not the last casualty, nor fatality of the conflict however. | ||
After skirmishes throughout the region, various Starfleet vessels had been heavily damaged. The [[USS Tucson]] had required towing back to Deep Space 17, whilst the Independence was operating on a skeleton crew with a makeshift warp drive. Both managed to make it back to the station before the Gorn fleet arrived however, their objective long clear. The [[Battle of Eratis|resultant battle]] ended with heavy losses on both sides, with both USS Tucson and [[USS First Response]] destroyed before the USS Ursa Major announced a ceasefire. USS Independence was destroyed when it rammed the Gorn flagship at the very end of the battle. | |||
The loss of vital vessels in the region led to Starfleet deploying several additional starships, to replenish the fleet. Former Independence First Officer [[Mar, Idril|Idril Mar]] was given command of the [[USS Ronin]] before the Independence herself was [[USS Independence-A|replaced]]. USS Triumphant was reassigned to be permenantly attached to Deep Space 17 in 2384. Admiral Hollis and the USS Ursa Major were recalled to Earth during 2385, with most of the senior crew assigned to either the USS Independence-A or the newly dispatched [[USS Tiger]]. | |||
