COCOON FLEET SITUATION REPORT SD: 10.0609 ******* USS REGULATOR The REGULATOR is currently drydocked at Gaia Fleetyards. *** USS YEAGER The YEAGER is currently drydocked at Gaia Fleetyards. *** USS SAGAN No report submitted. ******* Viper Squadron --- USS DURHAM The Durham has rendezvoued with the 4 freighters headed for the Sabic System of the Renrael Sector. Pirate activity has been reported in the vicinity. The Durham crew recently had a Warp Party following the ship's first acceleration to warp velocity. *** USS RONIN No report submitted. *** USS IBUTHO No report submitted. *** USS ZAHAL No report submitted. ******* Antelope Squadron: Commodore Xantho --- Outpost 721 Once finished the drills against a Klingon attack on the station, and some evaluations done, the two SAMURAI-class Corvettes ROBERT E LEE and WITCH OF ENDOR have departed escorting a SIJAN-class Transporter towards the Portal. They have been ordered to run drills on boarding Klingon vessels and getting boarded by them, so action is about to come. *** USS ATHENE Attempts by the CO of the Athene to glean more information from the Secretive Herc was met only with a referral to SB Omega... upon contacting Omega the Admiral informed them that information on The Artemis, Cpt. Davis' Yacht was on a "Need to know" basis... the communication however revealed itself to be an *UNUSUAL* fake. The Plot thickens as the representative of the Heracles stationed on the Athene has some form of psychotic episode leaving him ranting and crying. Indeed, the crew of the Athene has just discovered that someone is faking transmissions between the two ships.. but why? and who? *** USS KATANA No report submitted. *** USS PHOENIX No report submitted. ****** Beaver Squadron: Commodore Wolf --- SB OMEGA No report submitted. *** USS HORIZON Having caused major losses to the Klingon Fleet, only six of the original thirteen ship strike force survived the battle. The fleet has finally pulled out, before the Klingons were capable of following. The majority of the ships have limped into rendezvous with part of the main battlefleet, with the exception of the Gryphon, which is currently trailing behind at Warp one. *** USS XERXES Despite the wartime atmosphere, the crew of the XERXES is enjoying some shore leave on Starbase Omega, whilst the ship is undergoing some much needed repairs. *** USS LOKI No report submitted. ****** Condor Squadron: Commodore Meriwether Kenton --- USS GRYPHON No report submitted. *** DS 101 Answering a distress call, the USS HIKARU, support ship of DS 101 has encountered the Nebula Dwellers, though they don't know it. After the encounter, the FO thinks himself to be Selak. While that is his real name, he has gone by Taavek for his own safety for years as the Vulcan Isolationist movement wanted Selak dead and Selak faked his own death, becoming Taavek. This change in name confused everyone on the Hikaru who knew him only as Taavek, the 2O/CSO excepting...Zack also calling Taavek Selak. The CEO Romana has been replaced by someone else, but no one on the Hikaru noticed, in fact, Bel Shaane thinks he is married to the replacement. Capt Alyza, feeling that some was wrong with Taavek, contacted the Hikaru. The use by her first officer of the name Selak confirmed her suspicions. She thus ordered scans done by the CMO on board the Hikaru, to be forwarded to Dr. Ling on the station. She also ordered the CNS, who had not gone on the mission to answer the distress call, to investigate. Following the subspace transmission, Tink poped over and has begun looking into the matter. *** USS CURIE No report submitted. *** USS HERACLES The Heracles is in pursuit of Captain Davies who disappeared several days ago in her Captain's Yacht, the USS ARTEMIS. They have used subterfuge to persuade the USS ATHENE to aid their search, but Captain Simms and crew have become suspicious. LtCmdr Berdel has joined the ATHENE crew in order to inspire their cooperation, but he has suffered numerous physical trauma due to his erratic psychic abilities. Meanwhile, Captain Davies and her old acquaintance (an elderly Romulan pirate named Ardra) have found the base of Ardra's arch-nemesis, Malaki. They are preparing to take Malaki down with extreme malice after he murdered Davies' husband and sent her the body in a torpedo casing. He has also informed them that he has her son and plans to kill him as a further part of his revenge scheme. ****** Intelligence Report for Cocoon Fleet - Commander Sellush A freighter was attacked recently by an unknown entity. Deep Space 101 is investigating the incident. A ceasefire has been established with the Na'Chem. The Juun response has been unexpectedly reserved. Talks have resolved the recent 'pirate' problems in the Irimida Sector Klingon Situation Report for Starfleet - Commander Inhoff: Communications between the Federation and The Cocoon have been terminated by a Klingon task force striking from an unknown base. Reports and communications to the Federation are currently being carried by escort vessels to the vital conveys that supply the Cocoon. Rumours of a Klingon attack on The Cocoon are circulating within the Federation. The tenth fleet is being sent to provide backup should the rumours be true. A communication from an unknown reliable source has provided The Cocoon Fleet with more solid information and a defense fleet is massing at SB OMEGA to repel the Klingon assault. The USS HORIZON is leading a task force of 12 starships, including the USS GRYPHON in a pre-emptive strike against the 600+ strong Klingon assault fleet. SFSec continue to investigate the apparent assasination of the Klingon Ambassador on Arkanis by the former CinC of Starfleet, who was killed later by the Klingons. The USS SAGAN is currently on it's way to retreive the SFSec team and complete the mission in hopes of stopping the Klingon assault on The Cocoon. ****** Juun intelligence update: Following the ceasefire agreements, the Na-Chem are allowing selected Starfleet personnel to inspect their secret bases. Several hundred Juun prisoners have been released following the long term prison sentence of General Taing and his closest associates before a federal court. The situation on Juun is calmer than anticipated, the relief about the end of organized hostilities outweighing the expected outrage about the Federation's role in the uncovering of the genocide.
