Fleet Update

Written by Anthony Keen

Our mission is underway at least, we are going to take the lead of 21st Task Group, consisting of 200+ ships both Star Fleet and Klingon. Our target is one of the remaining core worlds still under Doenitz control; Betazed. We will be engaging his forces around Betazed and preventing them from flanking the bulk of the 52nd during their attack on Earth. This will undoubtedly be the largest battle that the Paladin has been involved in so far in this conflict.

Ense petit placidium sub liberate quietium By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty

The Enigma Factor

Stardate 2407.01.27. The USS Paladin comes across an alien vessel, the QHL Sunda, stuck in a subspace tear and they send over an away team to render assistance. It is discovered that an imbalance in the ship's quantum singularity warp drive caused the rift. A sister ship from the United Kingdom of Kiria, QHL Aiglos, approaches and is outraged that aliens have boarded their ship. Captain Straton leads an envoy over to the Aiglos to explain the situation. She convinces the ship's commander to work together to get the Sunda out of the rift. Working together, the Sunda is removed from the rift and repaired. An investigation is launched and it is discovered that a Romulan agent was hiding as part of the Sunda crew and caused the instability in their warp drive.

The Unexpected Odyssey: The Sphere

Stardate 2407.01.30. Michael Ian O'Connor is named Second Officer. Patrolling the Romulan Neutral Zone in case the Romulans decided to take advantage of the Federation Civil War, the USS Paladin was suddenly pulled into uncharted space, 530 light years off course. Faced with a six month journey to get back to Federation space, Captain Eva Straton ordered the ship to the nearest star system in order to finish repairs and get any supplies, if needed. To their surprise, they encountered a Dyson Sphere and have sent a small away team out in the Shuttlecraft Goddard to investigate. The away team found a way to get into the sphere and then worked on getting the Paladin through to the inside as well. The Paladin explored in the interior of the sphere and found no life forms. They left the Dyson Sphere resupplied and started heading back to Federation space. Along the way they found a subspace river which allowed them to get back in only two months time.
