==Mission Summary== | |||
After getting the old Constitution class USS Venture turned from a museum ship into a working vessel again for parade celebrations for the centennial anniversary of the Khitomer Accords, the Invicta crew were returning home from Khitomer when they suddenly found themselves swept back in time through a rift to the year 2267, now in the old Klingon Neutral Zone. A group of Klingon battle cruisers set upon them, but as the Venture made their escape into a nearby nebula to hide, the Klingon ships themselves were quickly destroyed by the planet killer aka the Doomsday Machine that is heading on its way towards Federation space, where history records that it will encounter the USS Constellation and the USS Enterprise before eventually being defeated by Kirk and his crew. | |||
However, the planet killer threatened to destroy the remaining planets in the Kavos system, where a landing party from the Venture has been sent to retrieve a group of Klingon survivors on the surface, among them, the future Chancellor Gorkon, who helped broker peace between the Federation and the Klingon Empire at Khitomer. Unfortunately, the landing party on Kavos IV discovered that Gorkon died from his injuries. Meanwhile another team from the Venture went via shuttle craft to one of the wrecks of the Klingon ships to salvage much needed dilithium crystals for the Venture. | |||
The landing parties returned to the Venture along with the Klingon survivors. The crew were now tasked with slowing down the planet killer to make their escape. Two shuttles, one piloted by a Klingon named Ukith and the other piloted by Lt. Cmdr. [[Rune Jolara]] were rigged with torpedoes to self-destruct and headed towards the mouth of the planet killer while the Venture provided cover fire. During the battle, Ukith was killed when his shuttle was hit by the planet killer's antiproton beam. Jolara was beamed back aboard at the final moment, and the Venture launched into warp speed just before her shuttle exploded in the maw of the planet killer, leaving it disabled but able to repair itself to continue onward to meet the Constellation and Enterprise. | |||
As the crew faced the prospect of repairing the damage to the timeline and finding a way to save Gorkon using the slingshot timewarp maneuver, they first headed towards the Klingon side of the Neutral Zone to return the Klingon survivors to their government. The Venture was soon met by a fleet of forty Klingon warships, which had been assembled to fight the planet killer. After Captain Rahman explained that the device was neutralized, the general of the Klingon armada thanked Rahman and the crew of the Venture, and they learned that he was in fact General Gorkon, the man who would become the future Chancellor and peacemaker. Though he learned that his son Gorkon the Second had perished, the general was grateful to know he had died with honor, and the seeds of peace towards a better future between the [[Klingon Empire]] and the [[United Federation of Planets]] were planted before the Venture crew returned home to the 24th century. | |||

We are approaching the edge of Klingon space along the old Neutral Zone. Though the planet killer was temporarily disabled, the subspace interference that remains assures us that we did not outright destroy it. Though it is a morbid thought, the device is destined to repair itself and continue on its way to the L-374 system where it will encounter the USS Constellation and eventually face off against Captain Kirk and the Enterprise. My crew and I are perfectly content to leave the glory of history to those legendary figures. | |||
Lt. Cmdrs. Pandora and DeVeau have worked out the calculations to perform the slingshot maneuver to get us back to the 24th century, and Walker assures me the nacelles won't fly off if we do it. This old ship is truly an engineering marvel. We are also prepared to go back to before our arrival in the 23rd century to see if we can save Gorkon. I don't want to think of the temporal paradoxes and potential headaches ahead, so I've decided to wait until after we return our guests to their government. | |||
