Prior to the Arrival at Djorn Major XJ-003, Ahmed spent a considerable amount of effort and time designing material aids to assist in the assault and hopefully give his small team a slight advantage against the station’s garrison. These gadgets included an armored cloaking armored EVA suit, modified from the available Klingon EVA suits, attuned to the IKS Hegh’delar’s [[Cloaking device]]; A series of portable sensor ghost generators, and a mobile handheld command net inderdiction device which later allowed the crew limited access to the station’s main computer systems. Unfortunately despite successful tests of the stealth suits aboard the Hegh’delar, the stealth features seemed to mysteriously fail once aboard the station.

==Mission Eighteen: [[Personal Logs]]==
==Mission Eighteen: [[Personal Logs]]==
With the refit of the [[USS Rosenante]] underway after the battle at [[Dovek II]], Ahmed decided to take some time off and enjoy some friendly competition in the boxing arena on [[Starbase Geneva]].  However things did not go according to plan when he was requested by the [[Rank|Admiralty]] to participate in the general mast hearings for [[Detron Trei]] and [[Andrew Elliot Maddox]], two officers that were under his command during the Dovek II incident.
[[File:S31.jpg|thumb|left|300px|The symbol for Section 31]]
He agreed, and after some deliberation a series of disciplinary actions were undertaken against both the officers. He was later to discover that [[Rank|Captain]] [[Alan Durand]] had resigned from the fleet as a result of his actions at Dovek, despite the fact that Salid and other members of the general Admiralty did not feel his performance was inadequate to the situation.
This temporarily left Salid in command of the [[USS Boudicca]] as well as the [[USS Rosenante]] until [[Rank|Captain]] [[Calvin Capps]]  arrived to take command of the Boudicca.
During this time, [[Rank|Commander]] [[Thomas Jackson]] was reassigned to the USS Boudicca as her first officer, displacing her prior first Officer, [[Rank|Commander]] [[Jennifer Caskie]].
For reasons unclear, Caskie was relieved of her command position and reassigned to the Rosenante as their [[Medical Officer|Chief Medical Officer]]. Ahmed was glad to see her return to the ship.
Also during this Ahmed found himself suddenly involved in a situation with [[Section 31]], when they kidnapped a member of his crew, [[Rank|Ensign]] [[Jessica Signos]] after [[Ahmed Ibn Salid]] had reported her dual nature to [[Starfleet Intelligence]].
The kidnapping was actually a ploy by SFI to flush out the [[Section 31]] Operatives on [[Starbase Geneva]]. Salid became involved when he felt that his officer was placed at undue risk as a result of SFI's slow response to the affectation of her rescue.
[[Image:Ranger Patch.png|thumb|right|300px|The duty patch of the Starfleet Rangers]]
Along with [[Eian O'Neill]], his father [[Liam O'Neill]] of the [[USS Kelman]], [[Katherine 'Kitty' Fisher]], and [[Chance Raschen]], Salid put together a rescue team in an attempt to affect her release and to capture or eliminate the [[Section 31]] operatives on the station.
The location of the hostage was located in a phased portion of the starbase, and as soon as the location rejoined normal space, Salid and the others beamed in to rescue Signos.
The operation was a success, capturing one Section 31 Operative,  and eliminating almost all of the others. Only [[George Hayden, Jr.|George Hayden]] the cells handler managed to escape the station.
However, after having O'Neill work up a psychological profile for Hayden, a plan was put into place to draw the cell handler back to [[Starbase Geneva]]. Putting himself into a position to illicit irritation and to appear smug at his victory over Hayden, Salid was able to draw the man back into the Starbase.
Hayden however, was not sloppy. He had taken extreme measures to protect himself, and this time, he used a holodeck to mask his presence. He managed to kidnap Salid, and for a short while torture him until [[Eian O'Neill]] managed to fix the Captain's location.
An assault team [[transporter|beamed in]] to the area and captured Hayden. This operation proved to be a linch-pin for preventing any formal charges from SFI to be levied against Salid and his officers. It did unfortunately put them on Section 31's radar as potential threats, since they were now aware of their illicit existence.
As a direct result of this operation, Salid, transferred, [[Mike Rosenbauer]] to act as his Yeoman, in an effort to provide himself with a bodyguard of some skill. It was a task for which the former [[Starfleet Rangers|Starfleet Ranger]] was well suited.
==Mission Nineteen: [[The Third Law]]==
While continuing on their mission to explore [[Sector 6309]], the crew of the  Rosenante discovered a rogue planet, which they later discovered was named [[Solyon]].
Excited about the possible history-making discovery, Captain Salid ordered three teams down to conduct scientific, geological and biological exploration of the unusual planetary body.
While the away teams were on the planet's surface, Salid ordered the Stellar cartography department to attempt to project Solyon's course as well as extrapolate it's path of travel prior to discovery.
Within hours, it was determined that the [[Rogue Planet]] would be passing through a [[Binary stars|binary star system]] which contained an inhabited planet, known as [[Asrai Prime]]. With the planet's inhabitants, the [[Asrai]], only at a pre-industrial level of technology, a bit of a moral issue arose. Technically, if the Asrai were unaware of other species or if they had not developed any technology akin to warp drive, then they would, under the auspices of the [[Prime Directive]] be left to their extinction.

To further complicate things somewhat, the survey teams returned to the ship with evidence that Solyon had at one point been [[terraforming|terraformed]]. This caused Captain salid to order two separate missions to be undertaken. The first would travel to Asrai Prime to see if there was any evidence that would make the Asrai exempt to the conditions of the Prime Directive. The second would remain on the rogue planet in an attempt to find a means to deviate or destroy the rogue world if a means could not be found to alter it's course.
Due to the gravity of the situation, Captain Salid led the away team to Asrai Prime while [[T'Larah Sullivan]] led the mission on the rogue planet.
On Asrai Prime the mission began to develop in a turbulent and difficult atmosphere. The inhabitants communicated as much with body postures and gestures as they did with words. because of this, the Universal translator couldn't assist them with this type of communication.
[[File:Asrai Prime.jpg|thumb|left|500px|Asrai Prime]]
A misunderstanding saw Salid and Fraiser imprisoned, but in so doing, it allowed the remaining members of the away team to uncover a group of outcasts that seemed to possess advanced technology. The situation quickly became clear. The leadership of the planet had created an enforced reversion in technology while maintaining their own technological advantage to make them the rulers of the world.
This was complicated when the Survey teams from the rosenante on the Rogue planets discovered that the planet was actually an ancient colony ship that had narrowly escaped the destruction of their home world. They were headed for Asrai Prime, the last remaining colony of their ancient civilization.
However the massive ship was badly damaged and required extensive repairs to allow it to adjust it's mass and avoid disrupting the delicate balance of Asrai Prime.  With the engineering teams working hard on that problem, Salid and Fraiser faced execution.
However, with the discovery of the outcasts and the situation clearly no longer constrained by the Prime Directive, [[Ben Soma]] led a rescue operation and they successfully rescued Fraiser and Salid.
meanwhile Salid and Fraiser had learned of an ancient planetary defense weapon once designed to destroy possible asteroid strikes, that was being prepared to destroy the Rogue Planet. As it was now apparent that the leader of the Asrai was aware that Solyon was actually a colony ship, and with the new information given to Salid, it was decided to prevent the destruction of the colony ship.
In a last-ditch effort, Salid and his away team prevented the destruction of the colony ship and helped re-establish the technological society that had been stripped from the Asrai. the Diplomatic Corps opened an embassy on Asrai prime to help the new Asrai leadership re-integrate the long-neglected masses of the planet, in effect preventing the extinction of the Asrai people.
==Mission Twenty: [[The Captain's Cotillion]]==
[[File:Salid-cotillion.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Captain Salid at the Cotillion, serving drinks.]]
After the completion of the mission to save [[Asrai Prime]] the crew of the [[USS Rosenante]] moved into a support role for the new government of that planet. With the institutionalization of a new ruling system headed by the more technologically advanced Asrai from [[Solyon]], Ahmed was determined to insure  a series of programs that would help bring the remainder of the population into line with the new leaders of that planet.
To that end, each of the departments began a program of assisting in building a knowledge infrastructure that the planet could then develop and expand on a planetary basis. To this end, medical databases, civil engineering databases and diplomatic databases have been supplied to the new government.
With the civilization most recently believed to be under the protection of the [[Prime Directive]], which was disproven with the realization that [[Solyon]] was a warp capable colony ship, the [[Federation Diplomatic Corps]] was ordered by [[Starfleet Command]] to send special teams to aid the [[Asrai]] in their modernization efforts.
To celebrate the new relationship and the mutual support between the [[UFP]] and the government of [[Asrai Prime]], [[Rank|Captain]] [[Ahmed Ibn Salid|Salid]] decided to implement a new tradition aboard the Rosenante in the form of a formal dance, which he dubbed the "Captain's Cotillion".
The affair was punctuated by the appearance of many of the ship's crew appearing in elaborate outfits, and taking a night on the town. The event filled Cargo Bays one and Two, which had been retrofitted by [[Rank|Commander]] [[Steven Wade Matrix|Matrix]], [[Rank|Lieutenant]] [[Ben Soma|Soma]], [[Rank|Lieutenant]] [[Thomas Jackson|Jackson]] and [[Rank|Lieutenant]] [[Sanok]].
The prevent for the women of the crew took place on the holodeck, where [[Jessica Signos]] invited them all to a Japanese Bath house program for a day of pampering, gossip and spa treatments.
Not all was well, however, as on the eve of the event, Signos and [[Eian O'Neill|O'Neill]] broke off their relationship due to "Lily". A further incident took place when [[Tayla Fraiser]] inadvertently made telepathic contact with Signos, and was affected by "Lily's" presence, sending her into a panic attack that later caused her to attack [[Parker Davis]].
This period of time saw the addition of a couple of new crew to the roster as well. [[Rank|Lieutenant]] [[Lanista]] , formerly from the [[USS Mithrandir]] and on return from a 5-year mission in [[Klingon]] space, was assigned to the [[USS Rosenante]] as their newest Chief Science Officer. Lieutenant [[Viskhard]], as a result of this new addition was reassigned to the position of Assistant Chief Science Officer. Another addition to the crew was [[Rank|Lieutenant]] [[Nayeli]], a member of the [[Starfleet Judge Advocate General Corps (JAG)|JAG Corps]]. Her purpose was to look into the possible violations of the [[Prime Directive]] on [[Asrai Prime]]. She was assigned as a standing member of the crew in reflection to Starfleet's concern over the matter. As a result, Captain Salid has no choice but to keep her aboard.
The crew not only gained  new crew, but sadly have seen some transferred off the ship as well. [[Rank|Commander]] [[T'Larah Sullivan]] was reassigned to the [[Starfleet Marine Corps]], where she assumed the rank of [[Rank|Lieutenant Colonel]]. She was joined by Lieutenant Masters. This left the position of First officer open, and [[Rank|Captain]] [[Ahmed Ibn Salid]] saw no reason not to promote his new Second and Third Officers into empty positions. As such, [[Rank|Lieutenant]] [[Ben Soma]] was promoted to First Officer and advanced in rank to [[Rank|Lieutenant Commander]], while [[Sanok]] was promoted to Second Officer. At this time Salid has not yet selected a third officer for the Rosenante.
Not to be outdone, several members of the Rosenante's senior staff had their photograph taken for nostalgia's sake.
==Mission Twenty-one: [[The Veil of the Sky]]==
[[File:Comet2.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Comet Holladay]]
After [[The Captain's Cotillion]], the [[USS Rosenante]] was once again underway to continue her survey of [[Sector 6309]] as she had been ordered.  During this time, the crew encountered an unusual [[comets|comet]], which later became known as [[Comet Holladay]] in honor of the scientist who detected it by long-range scans.  Detailed scans and trajectory studies were underway, when an urgent message from [[Starfleet Command]] was received.
A hostage situation had developed on the planet [[Beta Aquillia IV]] a world that supplied the [[Federation]] with a vast majority of the resources needed to rebuild their infrastructure and starships. the planetary government, led by President Kolath had been overthrown by a sudden and unexpected coup. The group responsible was a pro-isolationist group named [[Veil of the Sky]].
During this coup, their leader, [[Habrii]] took Federation [[Ambassador]] [[Joanne Turner]] and her embassy staff hostage. The Rosenante was dispatched to negotiate her release and if possible to determine if there was outside support for the Veil.
Upon their arrival, Salid attempted to make contact with the current government. He was at first ignored. determined to safe-guard refugees displaced by the conflict, especially those with Federation citizenship, Salid sent his crew down to the capital city of Joba to establish a safe-zone and a refugee camp to tend to the needs of the displaced.
To make things more complicated a [[Skorr]] [[Worldripper Class]] warship named the [[Skysplitter]] arrived. it seemed that a Skorr Ambassador was also taken hostage and [[Ambassador]] [[Dralar]] had been sent to recover him. This made the situation potentially unstable.
After the arrival of the Skorr vessel, [[Ben Soma]] led a negotiation team down to the planet with no real success. The political views of the Veil leadership made diplomacy all but impossible. However, the [[Aquillian]] ambassador, Tzorn began to make indications that he would aid the Rosenante crew in locating their ambassador in return for asylum.
[[Chance Raschen]] and [[Mike Rosenbauer]] were assigned to covertly attempt to locate the ambassador on the planet. Mike managed to persuade a Veil member named [[Sien]] to join the Federation's cause, while chance uncovered some signs of [[Cardassian]] Involvement.
[[File:Atlantis Station.jpg|thumb|300px|left|Atlantis Station]]
A series of suicide bombings at the refugee camp forced a breakdown in communication between the Veil and the Federation.  Refugee support operations became disaster relief. At Salid's request [[Dralar]] sent Skorr troops to shore up the Federation position.
Meanwhile on [[Atlantis Station]], [[Niambh McNulty]] allowed the Rosenante's crew to establish a [[Command Control and Communications Center]]. From there the crew could more easily communicate and organize disaster relief.
As the investigation continued, [[Steven Wade Matrix|Matrix]] and Peter Cohen discovered signs of Romulan involvement. The situation was quickly becoming murky, and it was even more unclear who was truly involved in supporting the Veil.
When word went out that [[Alaya]] the lieutenant of the [[Veil of the Sky]] was responsible for the suicide attacks on the refugee camp, [[Habrii]] ordered her arrested. She was captured, but her escape was secured by Gul [[Matan]] of the [[Obsidian Order]]. Alaya then led a counter-coup against Habrii, capturing him and seizing control of the government.
Meanwhile through subterfuge, the location of [[Ambassador]] Turner and the [[Skorr]] Ambassador became known. The Skorr rescued their Ambassador with the aid of [[Katherine 'Kitty' Fisher]], while [[Jessica Signos]] led the rescue of the [[Federation]] Ambassador.
[[File:Camp explosion.jpg|right|thumb|300px|One of the explosions at the refugee camps]]
At the same time, [[Ben Soma]] led a team to extract the [[Aquillian]] Ambassador Tzorn as agreed. With all these actions underway, Salid was also on guard for any [[Cardassian]] or [[Romulan]] interference.
Instead, however, he was forced to deal with the [[Veil of the Sky]] militia troops. [[Alaya]] had ordered them to assault [[Atlantis Station]] as well as the refugee camp protected by the Federation.
Salid utilized the ship's [[phaser]]s et to heavy stun to slow down the infantry assault against the camp. in addition, he used low-yield photon torpedoes to capsize the boats bombarding Atlantis Station.
Once the refugees were evacuated, Salid recalled his crew. As his orders were to not get directly involved in the political struggle for control of the planet, the Rosenante then departed. But not before McNulty destroyed Atlantis station and the president in Exile Kolath, disappeared into the urban underground to establish a revolutionary movement to regain control of the government of Beta Aquillia IV.
For the crew of the Rosenante, it was a bittersweet victory.
