USS Aldrin (Reported by Captain Mardel Shayron): On the Aldrin, we responded to a distress call from the Science vessel USS Mariposa.  The Mariposa was doing an in depth study of nebula and were inside one when they encountered a strange phenomenon.  They started to have "Ghosts" on their ship.  So we went in to help out.

We got there too late and the Mariposa had imploded and all hands were lost.  However we were now stuck in the nebula and the "ghosts" started to appear on our ship.

Going against logic, we turned off all sensors and we came to a halt when the engines stopped leaving us with only thrusters.  The "ghosts" started to speak with those who had no telepathy or empathy.  So we are trying to piece together what happened to the Mariposa, who these "ghosts" are, and how to get out in one piece from the various conversations going on with different crew members.

USS Darmok (Reported by Captain Zachary Taylor): The Darmok is still deep in the Gamma Quadrant on the far frontier of the Aslan Heirate investigating the Kyrathian Swarm. We recently infiltrated a Kyrathian Station where they were "building" (growing?) new ships for their fleet. It was a very tense situation where the Kyrathians detected us shortly after arrival and our team was trying to download data while fighting for their lives.

The Darmok lost a total of 6 crewmembers to the Kyrathians, two on the station and four in an auxiliary craft in a space battle. Most of the Away Team received injuries from shrapnel and rapid depressurization of the airlock during their escape. Now we just need to figure out what we got from our download, if anything! We may have only managed to download part of their Replicator recipe book for all we know! Our Marine Lt. Col. has decided that we have to go back since in our hurried escape we left our dead and that is a major violation in the Marine's book: "No man left behind!"

USS Excelsior (Reported by Commander Zarian Lobren): The XL is currently getting itself into temporal trouble as it is helping a ship that has come from twenty—five years in the future, and it is being hunted by an equally future Mirror Universe ship.  One of our officers, Lt Gar is abducted and we had to go in and rescue her from the Mirror Universe ship. The strangest part of all of this is the commanders of both these future ships is none other than older version Gar. Yikes.


USS Independence (Reported by Lt. Cmdr Travis Cloud): Indy take a pounding from the mysterious Grand Syndicate ship that appeared once the Federation starship had arrived in the Delta Quadrant frontier zone.

Fleet Captain McMahon ordered return fire, even though the Syndicate ship’s weapons were only doing minor damage to Indy’s shields. The Syndicate ship launched fighters to help with the attack. Lt. Commander Travis Cloud commanded a small squadron of Vega-class fighter shuttles to combat the Syndicate fighters.

The Syndicate fighters were fierce, but eventually the Federation side managed to get an upper hand and the Syndicate ship retreated back through its singularity. The captain ordered the escape aperture to be held open to possibly allow us a way to find they Syndicate to put a stop to its raids.

Outpost Phoenix (Reported by Commodore Kaveh Arzie): The crew aboard the Lexington has successfully tractored the original USS Lothlorien back to the Einstein-Rosen Device where crews from OPX will begin to repair her for transit back to Tahnna’Wahnna IV. In the meantime, she will be used as a Forward Operating Base for exploring the Maskawk.

Meanwhile, Lexington and Lothlorien were hailed by a ship. After some difficulty, communication was established. The crew discovered that the Maskawk is home to a number of races. Two representatives from one of those races has boarded Lexington and is questioning the crew about their presence in the region.

Starbase Everest (Reported by Commander Malachi Styles): Starbase Everest ended 2395 rescuing the temporally-trapped crew of the U.S.S. Jackson, a ship that had been M.I.A. for the past thrity two years. Thus far, in 2396, we are trying to track down the real saboteur of the Jackson but are being stumped by some super covert technology.  The rumor mill is even mentioning Section 31, but we both know that there is no such section. 

Starfleet Academy (Reported by Captain Rhea Jannsen): Starfleet Academy cadets are on the verge of embarking on another special holo-sim, pitting them against the different things they can encounter out “there.” It will be the chance to see if they have learned anything in there time here.
