Jack Shepard: Difference between revisions

*Much of the details of what happened during Operation Blackfoot are still classified. What is known about the whole ordeal is a bloody history of personal gain and betrayal. Operation Blackfoot was in response of discovering that captured smugglers bought authenticated Starfleet security codes through a third party source.  Starfleet sent an fifteen man team led by a Marine Capt. Joy accompanied by a Startfleet Intelligence Officer. Starfleet lost contact the team shortly after the investigation began. Realizing the complexity of the mission intelligence saw fit to call upon LTJG Jack Shepard. Shepard had the skills of a security officer mixed with battle hardened experiences of being a member of the Starfleet Marines Special Operations "Project Delta" during the Dominion War. We was given command of a larger team with specialists and a squad of marines designated as Special Task Force Alpha 6. All seemed to be well with the mission until six months later when communication with "Alpha 6" ceased. Information would not come until three months later when Jack Shepard physically reported back to SB118 battered and bruised from being in captivity. Upon reporting, *Unclassified Account* Jack reported on being ambushed, and the leader of the criminals was a senior officer with operational knowledge with veterans from "Project Delta" that have me accused of killing Mrs. A.Shepard. Unknown to Shepard, after his departure, SB118 Security released that the body of Anastasia was an elaborate fake.  Shepard knew that his former "Project Delta" teammates must have had her. Jack Shepard was given the rank of LT and in command of a heavy boarding teams and four fighters.  This group was a rainbow of Starfleet and Marine Personnel and again given the designation "Alpha 6." The team was still out numbered but knew what they had to do.  Sending in a major starship would not go unnoticed by anyone and Starfleet wanted to keep this under wraps due to unforeseen consequences.  It was an all or nothing all out assault on a base full of thugs and a team of highly skilled veteran marines. ENS Scott Shepard, LT Jack Shepard's nephew, joined the fray even though Jack tried to talk him out of it. Many of the details following are still classified, but it was a hard fought battle with two installations. It took time and the live of brave men to find the second. On the lighter note, Anastasia Shepard was reunited with Jack Shepard, many details of how and why are classified.  Due to classified information it is hard to get an accurate account of the casualties involved in operation Blackfoot. What has been declassified was that Capt. Joy's response team was never recovered, all presumed KIA.  LT Shepard is the only survivor of the original "Alpha 6", most KIA in the initial ambush; others in captivity. Official records report 74 lost souls due to actions during Operation Blackfoot.
