== Fleet Update and Missions ==

*'''Spectre''' ''Mission: When Poachers Come to Call''

USS Spectre: The USS Spectre has been ordered by Fleet Command to the Class M world Ushar Prime, the home world of the Ushari, situated close to Theta Draconis & approximately midway between the Ferengi alliance & the Cardassian Union. It's mission now is to investigate why trade has suddenly ceased in regards essential Dilithium supplies. There are indications that the involvement of a new & possibly dangerous benefactor may have soured relations between the Federation & the Ushari. Whether or not this is the case however, remains to be seen.

*'''Hades''' ''Mission: Tribuo Senatus''

On a diplomatic mission to the heart of the Romulan empire, the crew of the USS Hades are to establish a new treaty of peace on behalf of the Federation - a very grand task indeed. As they journey across the neutral zone, a disaster strikes and the Captain is critically injured in an explosion. The pressure is on for Commander Lemar to continue the mission in his stead, but with a Romulan Warbird off their port bow, one wrong move could mean intergalactic war. Can the crew hold it together and succeed?

*'''Boudicca''' ''Mission: Swords to Ploughshares''

The Boudicca's new Captain, Susan Rivers, is under orders to take the ship on a mission of exploration. Their first destination is the Tobias System, containing a planet with a pre-warp culture which is technologically analogous to mid-20th century Earth although with a very different sociological and political infrastructure. But the last survey of the system was some 40 years ago, and who knows what changes they may find?

*'''Rosenante''' ''Mission: Letters of Marques''

When Prince Angkor Khamal of the Arturian people is kidnapped by Orion Pirates on his way to a peace conference that will finally end a 400 year long war, the USS Rosenante is ordered to proceed into Orion Space, locate the Prince and transport him to the Conference On Meldovia. With the lives of billions hanging in the balance and the very real prospect of War between the Orion Syndicate and the UFP if they are caught, can the crew of the Rosenante complete their mission?

*'''Mithrandir''' ''Mission: Wagon Train amongst the Stars''

With the USS Dennison severely damaged the crew is awaiting their fate at Star Base Geneva. However, there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel as the CO is told of this new ship that they could get, if they wouldn't mind losing 94% of their current crew. Will they? Won't they? Whatever the response, the (remaining) crew will find themselves in a situation that will tax their capabilities to the maximum.

== The Art of Cursing: Understanding Klingon Curse Warfare ==

Compiled by [[Daniel Greene]] [[Image:K'EhleyrWorf.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Insults are an important part of Klingon Society; the worst things that anyone can suggest to a Klingon warrior is that he is soft or a coward.]]

Klingons love a good fight; there's no denying that. They find honor in battle, and few things are more glorious than feeling your blood burn with the joy of conflict. But Klingons are pragmatic as well. It's not just feasible to go around killing people for minor offenses. Even Klingons refrain from casually taking a mek'leth and gutting someone for accidentally bumping them in the corridors. And yet, honor demands some kind of response, ideally one that won't cause a dramatic decrease in the Empire's population. The solution is Curse Warfare.

Don't misunderstand; it might be fatal. Curse Warfare (Mu'qaD veS) isn't simply unleasing a torrent of profanity on your opponent. There's no honor in being crude, no glory in sim

==Family and Background==

Niles was born in San Francisco, California, Earth on Stardate 59840.7. He grew up as an only child and their life was anything, but ordinary. Niles's mother, Lonna George, died when he was just a young boy, about age 7, and it was just his father and him.

After the death of Lonna, Niles's Father, Neil George, was never the same. Neil never was much of a talker after the death. Neil was a Admiral in Starfleet and they always had to move for new assignments. Eventually they were assigned to a place on Earth long enough for Niles to go to school. Niles enjoyed school and was a very smart student. He did to impress his father, which had little effect.

After graduating, Niles followed his father's tracks into Starfleet. Soon his 3rd year had past and one day, he had received word that his father was in a accident. Niles's father died on Stardate 80548.3, from a fatal last attack of Cardassian ships.

[[Rank|Lieutenant JG]] Christopher Adams is a [[Starfleet]] officer currently serving as Assistant Chief Engineer on the [[USS Spectre]]. Christopher Adams stands 6'2" with short black hair and is of average build.

== Childhood ==

Christopher Adams comes from a long line of Starfleet officers. His [[Vincent Adams|father]], grand father, and great grand father all served in Starfleet. His grandfather served on the ''[http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/USS_Melbourne_%28NCC-62043%29 USS Melbourne]'' and was killed in the [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Battle_of_Wolf_359 Battle of Wolf 359] when his [[Vincent Adams|father]] was fifteen years old. His [[Vincent Adams|father's]] first posting was to [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Starfleet_Tactical Starfleet Tactical] where he specialized in weapons to fight the [[Borg]]. There his [[Vincent Adams|father]] met his mother. As a child, he moved from Starbase to Starbase with his parents, but settled on [[Earth]] in Houston, Texas during his teenage years. ''("Training Days")''

During his high school years he worked at the City of Houston Transporter Facility where he was one of the youngest techs on duty. ''("Interlude")''

== Starfleet Academy ==

[[Image:StarfleetAcademy.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Starfleet Academy]]

Adams joined [[Starfleet Academy]] in 2403. He studied to be an engineer and took advanced engineering courses ''("Training Days")'' and specialized in plasma power systems. ''("Interlude")''

A couple of weekends a month he used to use his transporter credits to beam from the Academy back to Houston and eat at his grandmother's house. ''("Interlude")''

He was given his final test by [[Rank|Lieutenant]] [[Cosico Thoma's]] at the [[Resorte Advanced Training Facility]]. In the test he had to figure out what was causing and stop a warp core breach on a Galaxy Class Starship. ''("Training Days")''

After passing his test he was visited by a mysterious Commander Lucas who told him that the [[USS Paladin]] was a [[Robert LoDona|LoDona]] loyal ship and that he must not tell anyone that he was being posted to it. ''("Training Days")'' He covertly boarded the runabout ''Arkansas'', but during flight it was taken over by Starfleet officers loyal to [[Admiral Doenitz|Doenitz]]. Working together with the other people on the runabout, they were able to over power the other officers and take control back. ''("Journey to the Paladin")''

== USS Paladin ==

[[Image:Paladinimage.jpg|thumb|right|200px|USS Paladin]]

Adams's first posting was to the [[Robert LoDona|LoDona]] loyal ship ''[[USS Paladin]]'' in 2407. They were en route to the Romulan Neutral Zone in case the Romulans decided it was a good time strike into the Federation during the [[Federation Civil War|Civil War]]. ''("Interlude")''

Adams went on his first away mission when the ''[[USS Paladin]]'' came across an alien vessel, the ''QHL Sunda'', stuck in a subspace tear. Adams 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. Adams works with the crew of the ''Aiglos'' to remove the ''Sunda'' from the rift and help in repairs. 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 Enigma Factor")''

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 sent a small away team, including Adams, 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. Working with [[Sarouk|Lieutenant Commander Sarouk]], Adams helps find a subspace river which allowed them to get back in only two months time. This sparks Adams's interest in other fields besides engineering. He makes a decision to move to Operations under [[Michael Ian O'Connor|Lieutenant O'Connor]]. ''("The Unexpected Odyssey: The Sphere")''

[[Michael Ian O'Connor|Lieutenant O'Connor]] is injured and Adams is promoted to Chief of Operations. The ''USS Paladin'' arrives at [[Starbase Geneva (NCC-85745)|Starbase Geneva]] where Adams runs into one of his old friends from the Academy, Ensign [[Fala Taban]]. Fala has news from home: his mother has been rounded up into an internment camp on Earth for being loyal to [[Robert LoDona|LoDona]]. It also appears that his [[Vincent Adams|father]] was behind it. Conflicted, Adams threatens to leave his post to go back to Earth and free his mother. He comes to the realization that the only way he's going to get there is to recommit himself to his captain and his ship. He shaves his beard off and starts working out in the holodeck losing around seventy-five pounds. Over the next six weeks, he helps coordinate the Paladin's refit effort. ''("New Beginnings")''

[[Eva Straton|Captain Straton]] announces that the Paladin’s next mission will be to rendezvous with the 21st Task Group and lead it against Doenitz’s forces in the liberation of Betazed. The crew is excited about a potential end to the Civil War and start battle exercises while they are traveling to the Kalandra sector. ''("Mjolnir's Fury")''

The Paladin engaged Doenitz's forces at Betazed. The battle was won, but the USS Paladin was rendered inoperable. It was moved into space dock and all personnel reassigned.

== Starfleet Headquarters ==

Lieutenant Adams was reassigned to Starfleet Headquarters on Earth as part of a special task force hacking into the computer systems left behind from the Doenitz occupation. He makes a big breakthrough discovered a top secret project called [[The Chimera Directive]]. ''("Picking Up the Pieces")''

== Leave of Absence from Starfleet ==

Once the [[Federation Civil War|Civil War]] was complete, it was discovered that Doenitz had been rounding up the relatives of Federation rebels into internment camps. Adams's mother, Laverne Cartwright, was one of those in the camps and she was in failing health after the camps were liberated. It was with much sadness that Chris had to take a leave of absence in order to help nurse his mother back to health.

== USS Humboldt ==

[[Image:Humboldtimage.jpg|thumb|left|200px|USS Humboldt]]

Three months after leaving Starfleet, Christopher Adams rejoined after his mother was well enough to be on her own. Adams was assigned to the science vessel USS Humboldt as an Assistant Chief Engineer. The Humboldt was assigned to deep space exploration and hasn't returned to Earth since heading out on Stardate 2408.01.07. Adams hasn't been too pleased with his assignment, trying to put in for a transfer at every chance he gets. The Humboldt is being commanded by Captain Talasario, a Doenitz sympathizer who defected back to LoDona's side right before the end of the war. Adams is bitter that Talasario walks free while his [[Vincent Adams|father]] is locked away in a Rehabilitation Facility. ''("The Gates of Prometheus")''

== USS Spectre ==

[[Image:USS_Spectre.jpg|thumb|right|200px|USS Spectre]]

Christopher Adams's frequent requests for transfer were finally granted when the USS Humboldt made a rendezvous with the [[USS Spectre]], commanded by [[T'Vhor|Captain T'Vhor]]. The Spectre was currently investigating a Borg cube's presence in the [[Subspace River]]. While investigating an issue with the external hull plating, Adams was rendered unconscious and was sent to sickbay. ''("The Gates of Prometheus")''

Christopher Adams awoke to find the [[USS Spectre]] had been transported five years into the future and he had been transferred back to [[Starbase Geneva]] in order to recover from his injuries. Once he was fully recovered, he journeyed to [[Starbase 24]] in order to rejoin the crew of the [[USS Spectre|Spectre]]. He helped on the upgrades to the ship while at the starbase. ''("R and R")''

The [[USS Spectre]] disembarks [[Starbase 24]] in route to the Falconer system and the water world of Vedea IV. Their orders are to escort the Freighter Kintaka and protect its shipment of special algae which is only found on Vedea IV. When the ship arrives, an away team, which includes [[T'Vhor|Captain T'Vhor]] and Adams, beams down to the surface to talk to the Vedeans. While in the underwater capitol city, the [[USS Spectre|Spectre]] is attacked with an EMP device and is forced to enter the planet's atmosphere. The ship does a controlled splashdown and comes to a rest on the sea bed at the bottom of the ocean. A boarding party fights its way into the ship lead by [[Andrew Williams|Commander Williams's]] sister, Audrey Williams. The boarding party is stopped and beamed back to the Vedean capitol city, but Audrey is no where to be found. [[H'Chir|Chief Engineer H'Chir]] is injured while trying to get main power restored to the ship and Adams must take over leading up repairs in an effort to get the [[USS Spectre|Spectre]] back into space once again. With the help of some Vedean scientists, the Spectre returns to orbit, where repairs continue to shore up the ship. The crew gets a lead on the ship that attacked them. It was a ship from the [[ETHOS]] project, a remnant of the [[Civil War]], which allowed it to mimic any other ship in the fleet. The Spectre heads back to Earth in pursuit of the vessel which attacked them. With [[H'Chir|Chief Engineer H'Chir]] injured, Adams is promoted to Acting Chief Engineer.''("Cry Havok and Let Slip the Dogs of War")''

== Character Bible ==

Christopher Adams is a young Human of American decent, specializing in engineering. He is a jovial character who doesn't usually get frustrated and usually avoids conflict. He is shy and would rather go off into the holodeck on his own rather than go to a party. He is an exceptional engineer and is able to take apart and put together things with great skill.

He comes from a long line of male Starfleet officers and has a great sense of duty. Because of his lineage, he lives by the motto of "leave no man behind". He will go to great personal sacrifice to ensure that his friends and ship mates are safe and brought back alive. Because of his Starfleet loyalty, the one thing he does get frustrated at is if someone questions his loyalty. The [[Federation Civil War]] has really put him into internal conflict. He thinks he's doing the right thing by joining up with [[Robert LoDona|LoDona]], but there's always that doubt lingering in the back of his mind.

Chris is an only child who's mother and [[Vincent Adams|father]] are divorced. He spent his high school years on Earth in Houston, Texas with his mother, who is a teacher. His [[Vincent Adams|father]] is a weapons specialist and is currently serving in [[Starfleet]]. While serving on the ''[[USS Paladin]]'', Chris gets word through a friend that his [[Vincent Adams|father]] had something to do with his mother being rounded up into an internment camp on Earth for being loyal to [[Robert LoDona|LoDona]]. This has driven a rift between himself and his [[Vincent Adams|father]]. It has renewed Chris's sense of duty, for that being the only way he can get back to Earth and free his mother.

==Locations of Nova Class Construction:==

Avondale Production Facility, Rigel II and San Francisco Fleet Yards, Earth

==Nova Class Mission Profile==

The Nova Class design was intended to provide a platform for extended scientific survey and scouting missions. Replace the Oberth for system and planetary survey missions. Provide autonomous capability for full execution of Federation defensive, cultural, scientific, and explorative policy in deep space or border territory. Serve as a frontline support vehicle during emergencies and a platform for the extension of Federation diplomacy and policy. Provide non-critical functions such as transport of personnel and cargo when necessary, extended aid, and short-range patrol.

==GENERAL INFORMATION:==

The Nova Class is aggressively designed; the small ship and its lack of amenities manage to surpass one’s first impression of its diminutive size. Known for its durability, the Nova Class has swiftly lost its status as a ‘little ship’ and is slowly gaining acclaim for usefulness in making for more accurate missions to new areas of space, bringing back teraquads of data on individual systems that is then disseminated amongst the fleets.

The Nova sports impressive weaponry for its size, and its scientific capabilities more than make up for its reduction in speed when compared to its larger ‘cousins’. Double deflector dishes also provide added security when far from a starbase or suitable repair facility, in that a single malfunctioning or damaged deflector will not prevent the ship from going to warp.

Highly accurate sensors and computer systems makes it the perfect tool to send into scarcely known territory and many discoveries have been made by the Nova Class finding things larger Explorer-type ships such as the Galaxy Class left behind.

Amenities are few and far between on a Nova, but its work is important and crews that work on these small ships know their worth and protect their reputations fiercely. Much like the favored Oberth, the Nova is sure to hold a place in Starfleet lore for a long time to come.

==PHASER ARRAY==

The Nova Class is equipped along the dorsal saucer section with four Phaser strips; two of which extend from the aft curvature, along the length of the saucer and stop short of the auxiliary deflector incision. The aft firing arc is covered by two smaller arrays angled on the rear of the saucer section. The relative bottom of the ship is protected by two similar arrays as on the Dorsal, extending to the rear of the saucer and following the curve to the aux deflector incision. Additional protection is provided by a single array that extends laterally across the ventral engineering hull just fore of the warp core ejection port. Far aft strips placed laterally on either side of the main shuttlebay on the dorsal engineering hull cover the rearmost firing arc for a total of nine Phaser strips.

Even though the Nova Class is a small vessel, it still utilizes the Type-X array system. The six arrays are all Type-X. Each array fires a steady beam of Phaser energy, and the forced-focus emitters discharge the Phasers at speeds approaching .986c (which works out to about 182,520 miles per second - nearly warp one). The Phaser array automatically rotates Phaser frequency and attempts to lock onto the frequency and phase of a threat vehicle's shields for shield penetration.

Each Phaser array takes its energy directly from the impulse drive and auxiliary fusion generators. Individually, each Type-X emitter can only discharge approximately 5.0 MW (megawatts). However, several emitters (usually two) fire at once in the array during standard firing procedures, resulting in a discharge approximately 10 MW.

The maximum effective range on the Type X emitter is 300,000 kilometers.

==TORPEDO LAUNCHERS==

The Nova Class is fitted with three standard torpedo launchers. Two fore, and one aft. Torpedo tubes one and two (fore) are located on either side of the auxiliary deflector just forward of the incision. The tubes are recessed into the ‘prongs’ and can fire as many as two torpedoes per forward salvo, making a total forward salvo of four torpedoes per firing. Aft coverage is handled by a third torpedo launcher facing the rear of the ship in the upper engineering hull near where it meets the saucer.

The Nova Class is armed with the Type-6, Mark-XXV photon torpedo, capable of pattern firing (sierra, etc.) as well as independent launch. Independent targeting once launched from the ship, detonation on contact unless otherwise directed by the ship.

Payload: The Nova Class can carry a maximum of 55 torpedoes.

Range: Maximum effective range is 3,500,000 kilometers.

==DEFLECTOR SHIELDS==

The Nova Class is equipped with an asymmetrical peristaltic subspace graviton field. This type of shield is similar to those of most other Starships, but rated higher than most vessels of equivalent size as a defensive measure due to its role. Other than incorporating the now mandatory nutational shift in frequency, the shields alter their graviton polarity to better deal with more powerful weapons and sophisticated weaponry (including Dominion, Breen, and Borg systems).

During combat, the shield sends data on what type of weapon is being used on it, and what frequency and phase the weapon uses. Once the tactical officer analyzes this, the shield can be configured to have the same frequency as the incoming weapon - but different nutation. This tactic dramatically increases shield efficiency.

There are 11 shield grids on the Nova Class and each one generates 145.5 MW, resulting in total shield strength of 1,595 MW. The power for the shields is taken directly from the warp engines and impulse fusion generators. If desired, the shields can be augmented by power from the impulse power plants. The shields can protect against approximately 42% of the total EM spectrum (whereas a Galaxy Class Starship's shields can only protect against about 23%), made possible by the multi-phase graviton polarity flux technology incorporated into the shields.

The shields, when raised maintain an average range is 30 meters away from the hull.

==COMPUTER CORE==

Number of computer cores: One. The primary computer core is accessed in the control room on Deck 2. It covers three decks and extends from Deck 2 to Deck 4. It is fed by two sets of redundant EPS conduits as well as primary power.

Type: The V-109 primary computer assembly is built specifically for the Nova Class starship by Viscosity Computing on Argos-IV. The structure of the computer is similar to that of most other supercomputing systems in use by Federation vessels with stack segments extending through the ship forming trillions of trillions of connections through the processing and storage abilities of modern Isolinear chips. For missions, requirements on the computer core rarely exceed 45-50% of total core processing and storage capacity. The rest of the core is utilized for various scientific, tactical, or intelligence gathering missions - or to backup data in the event of a damaged core.

==WARP PROPULSION SYSTEM==

The Nova Class is equipped with an F-Type Standard Matter/Anti-Matter Reaction Drive, developed by Ceres Industries. Information on this Warp Drive can be found in any Starfleet Library or Omnipedia.

Normal Cruising Speed: Warp 6

Maximum Speed: Warp 8 for 12 hours

Note: Vessels equipped with the Ceres F-Type M/ARA Drive System no longer have the maximum cruising speed limit of Warp 6.3, thanks to innovations discovered and utilized in the M/ARA Warp Drive outfitted in the new Intrepid Class Starship. Pursuant to Starfleet Command Directive 12856.A, all Starships will receive upgrades to their Warp Drive system to prevent further pollution of Subspace.

==IMPULSE PROPULSION SYSTEM==

Nova Class starships use a single T2-16 fusion powered impulse engine, the Nova Class carries more than enough thrust to maneuver at her fully laden weight. Built by Tallier Propulsion, the T2-16 is lauded for its reliability under extended use, as well as its fuel efficiency.

The impulse engine can propel the Nova Class at speeds just under .25c, at ‘Full Impulse’ and an upper ceiling of .75c at three quarters the speed of light. Generally, Starfleet Vessels are restricted to .25c speeds to avoid the more dramatic time dilation effects of higher relativistic speeds. However, such restrictions can be overridden at the behest of the ship’s captain.

==NAVIGATION DEFLECTOR==

A standard Nova Class main deflector dish is located in the engineering hull, and is located just forward of the primary engineering spaces. Composed of molybdenum/duranium mesh panels over a tritanium framework (beneath the Duranium-Tritanium hull), the dish can be manually moved twelve degrees in any direction off the ship's Z-axis. The main deflector dish's shield and sensor power comes from two graviton polarity generators located on Deck 6, each capable of generating 128 MW, which can be fed into two 480 millicochrane subspace field distortion generators.

==TRACTOR BEAM==

The Nova Class is equipped with a multiphase subspace graviton beam, used for direct manipulation of objects from a submicron to a macroscopic level at any relative bearing to the ship. Each emitter is directly mounted to the primary members of the ship's framework, to lessen the effects of isopiestic subspace shearing, inertial potential imbalance, and mechanical stress.
Each tractor beam emitter is built around three multiphase 15 MW graviton polarity sources, each feeding two 475-millicochrane subspace field amplifiers. Phase accuracy is within 1.3 arc-seconds per microsecond, which gives superior interference pattern control. Each emitter can gain extra power from the SIF by means of molybdenum-jacketed wave-guides. The subspace fields generated around the beam (when the beam is used) can envelop objects up to 920 meters, lowering the local gravitational constant of the universe for the region inside the field and making the object much easier to manipulate.

Effective tractor beam range varies with payload mass and desired delta-v (change in relative velocity). Assuming a nominal 15 m/sec-squared delta-v, the multiphase tractor emitters can be used with a payload approaching 116,380,000,000 metric tons at less than 2,000 meters. Conversely, the same delta-v can be imparted to an object massing about one metric ton at ranges approaching 30,000 kilometers.

==TRANSPORTER SYSTEMS==

The Nova Class is equipped with one personnel transporter capable of a maximum payload mass of 900kg (1,763 lbs) at a maximum range: 40,000 km. The maximum beam Up/Out Rate is approximately one hundred persons per hour per Transporter

The Nova Class also has one cargo transporters capable of a maximum payload Mass of 800 metric tons.

Finally a total of two emergency transporters which are capable of a maximum range of only 15,000 km (send only) [range depends on available power] with a maximum beam out rate of one hundred persons per hour.

==COMMUNICATIONS==

Standard Communications Range: 30,000 - 90,000 kilometers with a Standard Data Transmission Speed: 18.5 kiloquads per second. The Subspace Communications Speed: Warp 9.9997

==SENSOR SYSTEMS==

Long range and navigation sensors are located behind the main deflector dish, to avoid sensor "ghosts" and other detrimental effects consistent with main deflector dish millicochrane static field output. Lateral sensor pallets are located around the rim of the entire Starship, providing full coverage in all standard scientific fields, but with emphasis in the following areas: Astronomical phenomena, planetary analysis, remote life-form analysis, EM scanning, passive neutrino scanning, parametric subspace field stress (a scan to search for cloaked ships), thermal variances and quasi-stellar material.
Each sensor pallet (11 in all) can be interchanged and re-calibrated with any other pallet on the ship.

Warp Current sensor: This is an independent subspace graviton field-current scanner, allowing the ship to track ships at high warp by locking onto the eddy currents from the threat ship's warp field, and then follow the currents by using multi-model image mapping.

The Nova Class starship is equipped with two high-power science sensor pallets in the forward saucer section, ventral side. The pallets are unplated for ease of upgrade and repair, as well as enhancing sensor acuity.

==TACTICAL SENSORS==

There are 10 independent tactical sensors on the Nova Class. Each sensor automatically tracks and locks onto incoming hostile vessels and reports bearing, aspect, distance, and vulnerability percentage to the tactical station on the main bridge. Each tactical sensor is approximately 90% efficient against ECM, and can operate fairly well in particle flux nebulae (which has been hitherto impossible).

==STELLAR CARTOGRAPHY==

One Stellar Cartography Bay is located on Deck 5, with direct EPS power feed from Engineering. All information is directed to the bridge and can be displayed on any console or the main viewscreen. When under warp or staffed by demand, the Stellar Cartography Bay is manned by on supervising officer and as many as three subordinates.

==SCIENCE LABS==

There are 16 science labs on the Nova Class starship, four of which are non-specific labs that can be easily modified for various scientific endeavors including Bio/Chem, and Physics tests and/or experiments, crews rotate often among these laboratories. Located mostly on Deck 4 with small auxiliaries in other areas of the ship where appropriate, the Nova Class laboratories are well equipped due to the nature of their mission profile. More specific and specialized laboratories include Atmospheric Physics, as well as the more dangerous High-Energy Physics (note: additional SIF Field Generators are installed in the bulkheads around this lab).

Additional laboratories include a Botany Lab, where experiments and studies are done on the various phylum found on the surfaces of planets being surveyed, as well as development of better, more robust terraforming flora for use in colonization. The Geology Laboratories cover two major areas, Planetary and Astronomical. Though a good portion of the Nova’s time is spent in-system, other missions may include studying astronomical phenomena and these laboratories are provided for that purpose. Other laboratories study genetics and Xenobiology.

Spending a year at a time away, the Nova Class computer core is one of the few that uses a significant part of its processing and storage capacity. The data collected is usually offloaded at a starbase where it can be audited and distributed among the fleets.

==MEDICAL SYSTEMS==

There is an adequate sickbay facility located on Deck 3, equipped with ICU and Biohazard Support, a Radiation Treatment Wards that doubles as a Surgical Ward, a ward for Null-Gravity Treatment and Isolation Suites There is also a Morgue, and dental care is handled in the main ward.

The Chief Medical Officer’s office is attached to Sickbay, and the main ward contains a load-out of four standard biobeds, with ten more in the main treatment ward, and a small complement of emergency cots. Pursuant to new Medical Protocols, all Medical Facilities are equipped with holo-emitters for the emergency usage of the Emergency Medical Hologram System.
The Counselor’s office is also located on Deck 3 to assure a more efficient medical treatment environment. Though small, the office is nicely decorated and comfortable for the patient. There are no visual sensors in this office and audio recordings are done only with the voice code of the Counselor.

It has standard furnishings (decorated to the Counselors preference), a personal viewscreen, a computer display, a replicator, and a washroom/head. It has an individual therapy room furnished with chairs and couch for one-on-one sessions.
In the event of a crewmember suffering a psychotic episode, and needing to be isolated from the crew, the ill crewman is kept in sickbay, in the isolation unit, or in the intensive care units, as determined by bed availability.

==CREW QUARTERS==

Due to the small size of the Nova Class, and its internal arrangement of systems and laboratories, crew accommodations are distributed through every deck of the ship

Individuals assigned to a Nova Class for periods over six months are permitted to reconfigure their quarters within hardware, volume, and mass limits. Individuals assigned for shorter periods are generally restricted to standard quarter’s configuration.

Standard Living Quarters are provided for both Starfleet and non-commissioned crew. Aboard a Nova Class, bringing families aboard is usually discouraged due to the lengthy ‘working’ missions.

Crewmen can request that their living quarters be combined to create a single larger dwelling.

Starfleet personnel from the rank of Ensign up to Lieutenant Commander are given one set of quarters to themselves (cohabitation is not required). These accommodations typically include a small bathroom, a bedroom (with standard bed), a living/work area, a food replicator, an ultrasonic shower, personal holographic viewer, and provisions for pets.

Officers may request that their living quarters be combined to form one large dwelling.

The Captain and Executive Officer of the Nova Class both have special, much larger quarters.

These quarters are much more luxurious than any others on the ship, with the exception of the VIP Guest quarters. Both the Executive Officer's and the Captain's quarters are larger than standard Officers Quarters, and this space generally has the following accommodations: a bedroom (with a luxurious bed), living/work area, bathroom, food replicator, ultrasonic shower, old-fashioned water shower, personal holographic viewer, and even provisions for pets.

Though not ideally suited for diplomacy, the Nova Class (like all Starfleet Vessels) provide accommodations for special guests and visiting personnel aboard the ship. Though not as well appointed as on most vessels, the Nova’s VIP quarters are more than adequate.

These quarters are located on Deck 6. These quarters include a bedroom, spacious living/work area, personal viewscreen, ultrasonic shower, bathtub/water shower, and provisions for pets, a food replicator, and a null-grav sleeping chamber. These quarters can be immediately converted to class H, K, L, N, and N2 environments.

==RECREATIONAL==

Smaller ships tend not to be as well equipped as larger vessels in Starfleet. Though all are well attired, smaller vessels do not come with all the fringe benefits of a large ship, such as a Galaxy or Ambassador Class.

There are two Holodecks aboard the Nova Class. Located on Deck 3, these Holodecks are proprietary Federation Technology and can comfortably support up to 10 people at a time.

==CREW MESS==

The crew mess hall serves double duty aboard the Nova Class because of its small size. Located in the forward section of Deck 2, the Mess is equipped with a two mass-use food replicators with an extensive recipe listing from over two hundred worlds. Eating accommodations are provided by a slew of tables with a small row of molded couches and chairs that follow the forward curve of the mess hall and face the large viewports on either side of the hall.

The Mess Hall has a battery of recreational games and assorted "stuff.? 3-D chess, octagonal billiards tables, and a storage center with more eclectic games such as Plak-tow can be found in the mess hall.

==SHUTTLEBAY==

Located in the aft dorsal portion of the engineering section, the Main Shuttlebay is the primary port for entrance and egress, as well as management of the Nova Class auxiliary craft and shuttles. The Main Shuttlebay is managed by a team of Helmsmen/Pilots, Engineers and Technicians, and Operations personnel that are based on the Flight Operations office under the supervision of the Flight Control Officer.

The Nova Class Main Shuttlebay is equipped with two Type-9 Medium Long-Range Shuttlecraft

==AUXILIARY SHUTTLEBAY==

Just forward and up from the Main Shuttlebay is the Nova Class Auxiliary Shuttlebay. Smaller in size and scope, the Auxiliary Shuttlebay houses the cold-storage facilities for its auxiliary craft, as well as additional maintenance areas. When not in use, the Auxiliary Shuttlebay is kept locked and only opened for regular maintenance checks.

The Nova Class Auxiliary Shuttlebay is equipped with two Type-16 Shuttlepods and two Workbee-type Maintenance Pods.

==WAVERIDER CRAFT==

Type: Nova Class WaveRider Craft
Accommodation: 3 flight crew, 3 passengers
Power Plant: 3 Magnodynamic thrusters (Aft), fusion core, maneuvering thrusters.
Dimensions: Length: 16.8m; Width: 14.5m; Height: 3.1m
Performance: Impulse: .25c, Atmospheric: Mach-12
Armament: 2 Type-IV Phaser Arrays.

An auxiliary craft for Nova Class Survey Vessels, the WaveRider-Type atmospheric shuttlecraft is designed to facilitate close quarters examination and survey of planetary bodies by science personnel aboard the ship.

At just over 20 meters in length, the vessel is small enough to be carried by the Nova Class but large enough to be useful. Intended to work in atmosphere, the small craft is high fuel efficient at Mach-5 and above, making use of the conventional propulsion with back up impulse and RCS thrusters for maneuvering in space.

Unlike ordinary shuttlecraft, the WaveRider does not enter the ship’s Main and Auxiliary Shuttlebays; instead, it inserts itself into a recessed port in the ventral part of the saucer just forward of the main sensor dome. Access to the WaveRider is provided by a hatchway inside the ship and a ladder-equipped hard umbilical.

The Waverider is not warp capable.

==OPERATIONS==

Seeking out new worlds and new civilizations is central to all that Starfleet stands for. The Nova Class Survey Vessel facilitates this, outfitted for long-duration missions over planets and systems, cataloging and monitoring anything and everything of interest inside a designated area.

Mission for a Nova Class starship may fall into one of the following categories, in order of her strongest capable mission parameter to her weakest mission parameter.

Ongoing Scientific Investigation: A Nova Class starship is equipped with scientific laboratories and a wide variety of sensor probes and sensor arrays, as well as the state-of-the-art dorsal subspace sensor assembly; giving her the ability to perform a wide variety of ongoing scientific investigations.

Contact with Alien Life forms: Pursuant to Starfleet Policy regarding the discovery of new life, facilities aboard the Nova Class include a variety of exobiology and xenobiological suites, and a small cultural anthropology staff, allowing for limited deep-space life form study and interaction.

Federation Policy and Diplomacy: A Nova Class starship’s secondary role is the performance of diplomatic operations on behalf of Starfleet and the United Federation of Planets. These missions may include transport of Delegates, hosting of negotiations or conferences aboard in the vessel’s Conference Hall, courier for important people and/or items, and first contact scenarios.

Tactical/Defensive Operations: Though not designed primarily for battle, the Nova Class like all Starfleet vessels is designed to be resilient and ably armed.

Emergency/Search and Rescue: Typical Missions include answering standard Federation emergency beacons, extraction of Federation or Non-Federation citizens in distress, retrieval of Federation or Non-Federation spacecraft in distress. Planetary evacuation is not feasible.

==LANDING MODE==

Nova Class vessels are capable of atmospheric entry and egress with equipment worked into the physical design of the starship. Each Nova Class vessel is equipped with anti-gravity generators as well as impulse and RCS lifters strategically placed at the mass and stress points on the bottom portion of the engineering section.

During sub-orbital insertion, the Nova Class lowers the projection sphere of the deflector shields and assumes an angle of attack perpendicular to the angular rotation of the planetary body if it has an atmosphere. This allows the vessel’s shape to work as a lifting body with air traveling under the broad and flat saucer and under the wing-like nacelle struts. Once in the atmosphere, navigation is controlled with RCS thrusters and use of the aft impulse engines.

It is standard procedure to lower the landing gear at approximately 2500m above the Landing Zone (LZ) surface, regardless of LZ altitude. This minimizes the drag on the vessel. Once prepared for landing, aft impulse engines are shut down and four vents on the ventral hull are opened.

These vents cover the ventral impulse thrust plates. Impulse engines in miniature, the thrust plates serve only to provide lift to the Nova Class as the anti-gravity generators effectively reduce its weight. The RCS thrusters provide final maneuvering power.

Once on the ground, crew or equipment can be transported to the surface from the vessel, or use the ship’s turbolift system that connects to channels inside the landing struts themselves, and open out near the ‘feet’.

Take-off is done in reverse.

==LIFEBOATS==

Pods are located on decks below Deck 1. Each pod can support a total of eighty-six person-days (meaning, one person can last eighty-six days, two can last for forty-three, etc.). Two pods are reserved for the top four officers in the chain of command on the ship, because they are the last four to leave the ship. These are located on Deck 2.

As the number of experienced Captains dwindles in Starfleet, the notion of a Captain going down with his ship has been abolished. If the ship is abandoned, the top four officers in the chain of command will wait until everyone else is off the ship, opt to arm the auto-Destruct (not always necessary, but there if needed), and then leave in the two escape pods. The current lifepods are called ASRVs, or autonomous survival and recovery vehicles.

In situations when the base vessel is not near a habitable system, up to four ASRVs may be linked together in a chain at junction ports to share and extend resources.

==DECK CONFIGURATION==
Deck 1: Bridge, Captain’s Ready Room, Conference Room, Senior Officer’s Quarters, and Escape Pods

Deck 2: VIP Quarters, Executive Officer’s Office, Junior Officers Quarters, Observation Lounge, Mess Hall, Transporter Room, Holodecks 1&2, Aft Ventral Cargo Bay, Storage (5), Main Computer Core, Escape Pods, Primary Impulse Engine (Amidships), and Impulse Engine Deuterium Surge Tanks

Deck 8: Escape Pods, Anti-Matter Storage Pods, Warp Core Ejection Systems, and Anti-Matter Pod Ejection Systems, Phaser Emitter, and Tractor Beam Systems. Landing Struts (2 1P/S)

==COMMENTS==

Definitely a tiny ship when compared to some of the other classes. One other obvious drawback is her low top speed of warp eight. Keep in mind however this vessel is designed specifically to go from system to system and conduct detailed research.

==Federation Starship Classes and Technical Readouts:==

==Technical Readouts:==

==[[image:akiracl.jpg |150px|left|]] [[Akira Class:]]==

With six new vessels being turned out a year since 2355, the pride of the Fleet is the Akira Class Heavy Cruiser. New vessels off the line sport a forty attack craft in its through deck hangar as well as fifteen torpedo tubes, making the Akira Class the most lethal fighting vessel ever to serve in the Federation, more so than even the Prometheus Class Tactical Assault Cruiser and the new Defiant Class Escort vessels. Fast, maneuverable, and sturdy, sixteen of these ships alone were lost to the Dominion War. Presently, one hundred and five are serving throughout Federation Space, and no end is presently scheduled in the production life of the Akira Class.

==[[image:ambcl.jpg |150px|right|]] [[Ambassador Class:]]==

The Ambassador Class series began construction in 2315, fifteen years before the Excelsior Class contract expired. They were originally intended to replace the Excelsior as the foremost Explorer Type vessel. Forty two vessels were built as Explorers, including the flagship USS Enterprise-C. However, when the First Cardassian War broke out in 2347, the Class was reclassified as a Heavy Cruiser, equipped with additional tactical systems, and structurally upgraded to counter the Cardassian Threat with eighteen ships built to the new specifications. At the end of the recent Dominion War, forty-nine Ambassador Class starships are still on operational status.

==[[image:conscl.jpg |150px|left|]] [[Constellation Class:]]==

The Constellation class was fielded during the 2280's as a modern counterpart to the Constitution class. Like the Constitution Class, the Constellation's requirements, issued in 2272, called for a vessel capable of long duration exploratory, scientific and diplomatic missions. The new ship was to be able to perform this role over the longer ranges called for now that the Federation had acquired new members beyond its previous borders. In addition, the Constellations combat capability was to put it ahead of any current or projected vessels in the Romulan and Klingon Empires.

The Constellation's configuration marked a substantial change in Starfleet design practice of the time. During the era, Starfleet had experienced significant problems generating and controlling the large scale structural integrity fields required for heavy cruiser class ships. The solution adopted was to build smaller vessels within one single hull unit, while larger vessels required two hull units fitted with independent SIF's

The Constitution class is a classic example of this philosophy. With the Constellation it was thought that SIF technology had advanced to the point where a Heavy Cruiser class could be fielded within a single hull. This would allow much duplication to be avoided, freeing up space for extra equipment and improving the efficiency of the design. In addition to their unusual hulls, the Constellations employed four warp nacelles instead of the usual two, the first Federation starship to try this variation. It was thought that this would give the Constellation class a significant increase in speed and maneuverability across the warp flight envelope and improve the fuel efficiency at medium cruise speeds by some 15%.

In retrospect, it can be seen that the Constellation designers attempted to accomplish too much in one step. Severe problems were encountered with the development of the new warp core and several vessels experienced a variety of failures with this system.

After a great deal of time and effort it was decided that the warp core of the Constellation class was simply not up to the job of producing the power required. It was learned that the more nacelles required more power, in spite of the speed and acceleration advantages. Starfleet was denied the resources required producing a new design and refitting the fleet, so instead a "stopgap" option was chosen, the power output of these ships was restricted by limiter software in the engineering systems.

Unfortunately while it solved the near constant emergencies, this measure also robbed the Constellation class of some of their most important advances. They were seriously under powered for their size, a factor which adversely affected almost every aspect of their operation. Despite this Starfleet was committed to the production of these ships on a large scale and despite the problems it went ahead as scheduled, and forty-six Constellation class ships were ordered, which was later boosted to an even fifty.

Over the years many attempts were made to rectify the problems with the Constellation class, and eventually some success was achieved. Between 2300 and 2310 six units received a new upgraded warp core which brought them close to their original designed power output. Other units of the fleet received new control software which allowed their power to be safely boosted by some 15% on average. However, by this time the class was some twenty years old and had fallen well behind the leading edge of technology. It was decided that an extensive refit of the Constellations would not be an efficient use of resources, so most of these ships were forced to soldier on with their various problems.

With the advent of newer designs in the 2330's some of these vessels were retired altogether, while others were assigned border patrol duties. In the 2370s, the eighteen remaining in service were finally upgraded, giving them the power they needed. While the class is nearing its 100 birthday, this upgrade has assured that the remaining ships will be active and useful for at least another decade.

The Constellations have had a generally undistinguished career, with some notable exceptions, one being the USS Stargazer. The first vessel commanded by Captain Jean Luc Picard, the Stargazer was the first vessel in Starfleet to perform the "Picard Maneuver" which it used to destroy an attacking craft now known to be a Ferengi Marauder. The Stargazer was heavily damaged in the engagement and was abandoned and believed destroyed. In 2364 the ship was recovered and now resides in the Fleet Museum.

A few Constellation class vessels remain in service today.

==[[image:concl.jpg |150px|right|]] [[Constitution Class:]]==

In 2269, the USS Enterprise was selected to be the first ship to undergo such a refit and went into spacedock in Earth orbit for eighteen months of work. Never in Starfleet history (up until that time) had any vessel been so comprehensively updated, essentially a new vessel was built onto the bones of the old, replacing virtually every major system. The Enterprise was rushed out of Spacedock in 2271 to face the threat presented by the entity known as V'Ger, which was destroying everything in its path as it advanced towards Earth. She succeeded in averting the danger and then proceeded with her shakedown cruise.

Once the Enterprise was through with her shakedown cruise, the remaining Constitutions where refitted in quick succession and the Miranda and Akula class ships in service were readied for similar refits. The new ships proved to be more than capable of carrying out their normal exploratory and scientific roles, while in the combat arena they where judged an easy match for the refit Klingon K'T'Inga class.

The Constitutions continued in service, and once again the Enterprise set the standard for the rest of the ships to follow. After her shakedown the ship conducted another five year exploratory mission under Admiral Kirk before being transferred to training duties in 2277 under Captain Spock. She continued in this role for a further eight years, and many of Starfleet’s most successful officers went into space for the first time aboard this ship.

In 2285 the Enterprise suffered heavy battle damage while preventing Khan from stealing the Genesis Device, the ship was to be retired at this point, but Kirk and his officers stole her and took her to Genesis to retrieve Captain Spock's regenerated body from the planet. The Enterprise was attacked and crippled by a Klingon Bird of Prey while at Genesis, and was subsequently destroyed by Admiral Kirk shortly after the Klingon crew boarded to take control.

The USS Yorktown, NCC-1717, was subsequently renamed as the second Starship Enterprise, NCC-1701-A, and assigned to the Captain Kirk. The Yorktown had recently emerged from a major refit and repair following it's encounter with 'the whale probe', and the ship suffered many technical problems, nevertheless, she went on to serve the remainder of her service life with distinction.

In it’s most notable mission the Enterprise-A and the USS Excelsior participated in at the Khitomer conference, as the Enterprise escorted the Klingon Chancellor to the first meeting, assassins beamed over to the Klingon ship and killed the chancellor. Kirk and his chief medical officer where arrested and convicted of this crime, and sentenced to life imprisonment on the penal asteroid of Rura Pente; Kirk promptly escaped and took the Enterprise to the conference at Khitomer, preventing another assassination attempt and saving the peace process.

The Enterprise-A went into retirement shortly after this mission, and she's now a part of the Starfleet Museum. Most of the remaining Constitutions where decommissioned over the following twenty years, as the Excelsior class starships became available in larger numbers. The ten that remained in service received refits to their systems several times over the years to keep pace with current technology.

Two of the class were lost fighting the Borg, one at Wolf 359 and the other in Sector 001 a few years later. In 2335, four of the remaining eight Constitutions’ were mothballed while a second major refit of the class was designed. Of the other four, they were all active at the beginning of the Dominion war. Two are still in operation, including the class leader, the USS Constitution.

==[[image:defcl.jpg |150px|left|]] [[Defiant Class:]]==

Classified as an escort, the Defiant project was unofficially a plan to build a fleet of Federation warships to combat the Borg. The Defiant proved to be a powerful design. In fact, it was so powerful, with its warp core at full power, it nearly blew itself apart. After the Borg threat lessened, the Defiant project was cancelled and the USS Defiant remained uncompleted. The Defiant project was restarted in 2371, after the success of the USS Defiant in defending Starbase Deep Space Nine. There are currently more Defiant-Class starships under construction.

==[[image:excelcl.jpg |150px|right|]] [[Excelsior Class:]]==

Originally dubbed the "Great Experiment," the Excelsior project was to be the first transwarp powered starship. Unfortunately, transwarp proved to be a failure and the ships were built with normal warp drives. A slightly modified Excelsior-Class has upgraded impulse, ramscoop and sensor technology. The Excelsior Class is one of the most successful Federation starship class, serving from 2287 to the present.

==[[image:galcl.jpg |150px|left|]] [[Galaxy Class:]]==

One of the finest Starships ever designed the Galaxy class was to replace the Ambassador and Oberth-Class starships as the primary instrument of Federation exploration. The Galaxy-Class starship was the first to feature a saucer section which could separate at will and reattach itself without a starbase layover. The Galaxy-Class project was conducted at Utopia Planitia Shipyards, orbiting Mars.

==[[image:champlainimage.jpg |150px|right|]] [[Galaxy Class Refit:]]==

In the year 2369, Starfleet charged Utopia Planitia Shipyards and Avalon Shipyards to design and/or modify a vessel with both strong exploratory and defensive powers while the Sovereign project was still under development. Avalon began design and construction of what would later be called the Keltoi class of vessels, whereas Utopia Planitia built off of the existing Galaxy class Star frame.

The result was the Galaxy Class Dreadnaught, a refit version with an upgraded power source, one more warp nacelle for warp stability and serious upgrades to her weapons array. She has the same sensor capability as the standard Galaxy, but her weapons and defenses have nearly doubled in power and striking ability.

==[[image:indef.jpg |150px|left|]] [[Indefatigable Class]]==

The Indefatigable Class ship is a Tri-vector Assault vehicle, it separates into three fully-capable sections while in Vector-Assault mode. All three sections maintain power, supplies and crew for operations of up to 1 year in the event that the other sections are destroyed in combat, and all contain the necessary command functions (bridge, engineering, etc) to retain full autonomy. However, the Saucer Section does not possess Warp capability.

==[[image:intrcl.jpg |150px|right|]] [[Intrepid Class:]]==

The Intrepid Class Starship is designed primarily as a science/scout ship. This class is designed with variable geometry warp nacelles, to eliminate damage to subspace while at warp. Beginning with the Voyager, the Intrepid line was the first to incorporate bio-neural technology into the computer systems. Intrepid-Class ships were also among to first to have and emergency medical holographic programs.

==[[Image:Boudicca2.jpg |200px|left|]] [[Keltoi Class:]]==

The Keltoi class is renowned for its reliability in combat; she is a departure for Starfleet in her design and layout. The USS Keltoi, the prototype of the class, spent several months on the Cardassian border. In a mission to defend a Federation subspace relay, the Captain of the Keltoi, held for several days against several waves of Cardassian ships. Severely damaged in her efforts, the Keltoi was decommissioned, and shortly after, the Keltoi development project was approved.

==[[image:mercl.jpg |150px|right|]] [[Meredith Class:]]==

The Meredith Class Starship was conceived to operate as a mobile command centre for Starfleet's top brass, able to lead assaults and act as a Fleet Carrier. This starship class has a formidable defensive capacity as well as firepower and fighter capabilities.

==[[image:mircl.jpg |150px|left|]] [[Miranda Class:]]==

In the year 2273 a new class of ship entered service in Starfleet. Designed to be a smaller but capable counterpart to the Constitution class, the USS Miranda entered service at the same time its larger cousin was undoing major refit. There was a very high degree of commonality between the two classes, with the nacelles and most of the primary hull being almost identical. The smaller size of these ships was largely accounted for by a lower level of habitability for the crew and a reduction in the number of science labs from fourteen to ten. Moving all of its torpedo tubes to the 'roll bar' above the ship helped keep these reductions to a minimum. Even so the Miranda's were full Explorer type ships, fully capable of conducting long duration research missions. Their considerable armament also made them an important addition to the defense of the Federation.

They continued to act as Explorer class units for the next century, forming the backbone of Starfleet throughout this period. In time however, their relatively low cruising speed combined with the gradually increasing distances they had to cover, caused by the expansion of the Federation, began to wear on the ships. Their relative lack of recreational facilities and the cramped quarters began to lead to a marked drop-off in crew performance, and Starfleet considered retiring the class.

Instead, it was decided to use the Miranda design as the basis for a general purpose vessel for use within the body of the Federation. In some ships, the science labs were removed and replaced with expanded cargo bays and an upgraded weapons system. Some ships had their 'roll bar' removed and were used more for research purposes. The Miranda class was used extensively to patrol the Klingon and Romulan borders, as well as cargo carriers and particularly as colony transport craft. In fleet actions they acted in support of the larger ships, acting as outer pickets to the fleet. Some vessels were refitted as ammunition ships, using their extra cargo space to carry photon torpedo reloads and Phaser components. Others were converted to tankers, carrying supplies of Deuterium and Antimatter. A group of sixty ships was fitted with modern extra sensor pods and used in the electronic intelligence role. Their ability to look after themselves during a battle made them an excellent choice for these roles.

Today the Miranda's operate in a similar capacity, and although they are not front-line combat units in themselves they are still to be seen operating in major fleet actions in support of the modern vessels. Recently several Miranda class vessels have begun to show signs of serious stress fractures in their hulls, investigations are underway with all ships in the class, and although the results are yet to be announced it is thought that the problem is likely due to the age of the hulls. If so, the Miranda class is likely to be forced into retirement sometime over the next few years.

==[[image:neb.jpg |150px|right|]] [[Nebula Class:]]==

The Nebula Class was designed with an emphasis on flexibility. This is made possible by the raised equipment pod, which can be easily modified to carry scientific or tactical equipment pallets, or a combination of both configurations. Fifty three vessels were in service as of 2376, and an open ended construction contract is still on the table at the Utopia Yards. Though categorized as an Explorer, the Nebula Class can excel at virtually any task Operations can think of, from limited survey missions to deep strike missions into the Dominion Alliance.

==[[image:newocl.jpg |150px|left|]] [[New Orleans Class:]]==

The New Orleans class has been the premier Starfleet frigate for nearly four decades. Sporting three outboard equipment modules, this vessel can be quickly and easily adapted to any scientific or military mission the Sector Command deems necessary. This class has the ability to incorporate a total of six torpedo tubes, which can be installed, one forward and one aft in each module.

A wide variety of sensor equipment can also, of course, be installed. One hundred fifty New Orleans class ships have been constructed over a thirty year period, and nearly a hundred of those are still in service. A number of these ships have played pivotal roles in Starfleet history, namely the Rutledge at Setlik III during the Second Cardassian War and also at the Battle of Archanis in 2373. The Kyushu was at Wolf 359 and the Peacekeeper during the Dominion War in 2375.

==[[image:norcl.jpg |150px|right|]] [[Norway Class:]]==

By the 2350s the Miranda Class was beginning to show its age. In 2357, the Norway Class Development Project was tasked by Operations to produce a vessel with the endurance and flexibility the Miranda's had demonstrated. The Norway Class is now in full production at Spacedock 1's vast orbital construction yard, putting out 15 new vessels per year. As of 2376, there are 105 ships of this class, filling the multi-rolled niche retiring Miranda Class vessels are leaving behind.

==[[image:novcl.jpg |150px|left|]] [[Nova Class:]]==

This diminutive starship is part of a new family of Starfleet vessels. Aggressively designed, the small ship is known for its durability. The Nova Class is also slowly gaining a reputation for their usefulness in completing extremely successful missions to new areas of space, bringing back detailed data on individual systems or space anomalies to Starfleet. The Nova has a minimal weapons array for its size but its scientific capabilities make it a first rate explorer and science vessel.

==[[image:obercl.jpg |150px|right|]] [[Oberth Class:]]==

The Oberth class has had a distinguished Starfleet career dating back for over a century. They were a capable platform from which to conduct scientific research and exploration. Oberth's had some crucial advantages, they were easy to construct, maintain, and run. The design was highly modular, the whole vessel was made up of sections of 50, 150, or 300 tons which were simply bolted together, gamma welded, and sealed.

This allowed construction to take place in the smallest of facilities, even those intended to handle craft such as shuttles. The warp drive system, one of the most difficult parts of any starship to fabricate, sacrificed a large degree of speed and acceleration in return for simplicity and reliability. These factors enabled no less than eight Oberth class vessels to be built for the same resources as a single Constitution class starship.

In service the Oberth's were just as easy to run as they were to build. The engineering plant was almost wholly automated, with the engineering section normally going unmanned. The entire engineering crew consisted of two officers, one warrant officer, and four enlisted personnel, less than a tenth of the number for a Constitution.

The exploratory nature of the Oberth class mission meant that they would frequently discover new alien species, but their small size and limited crew numbers meant that they had a very limited diplomatic capability. Although they did occasionally engage in first contact procedures, it was more usual that an Oberth would make an initial assessment without revealing itself before reporting back to Starfleet and allowing larger vessels to make the actual contact.

Over the decades of their service the Oberth's have been produced in and upgraded to over twenty different variations. Early changes are limited to the sensor and laboratory resources, but the later models introduced improved crew facilities such as larger quarters and replicator systems, made possible by reducing crew numbers due to further automation.

In the 2340's all units received new Phaser banks and shielding systems. The Oberth class is now expected to remain in service at least until the beginning of this century.

==[[image:olycl.jpg |150px|left|]] [[Olympic Class:]]==

The Olympic class stems from a Starfleet requirement issued in 2360 for a new class of medical vessel to replace the aging McCoy class. The new ship was to be an improvement on the McCoy in every respect; it would incorporate a complete Starbase level mobile hospital capable of catering for up to 1,250 patients, compared to the McCoy’s 500. The warp and impulse drives, computer systems, etc. were also to be up to the latest standards.

Starfleet chose the Olympic from several proposals in 2361, and construction began on the first of the class in the same year. The ship was launched in March of 2367, and completed its shakedown successfully in 2368. Series production began at once, and eighteen ships have joined the fleet. The Olympic has proven very successful in service, and is highly popular with its crews.

The early careers of the Olympic Class were relatively uneventful, although the USS Olympic herself rescued several hundred survivors from the immediate aftermath of the battle against the Borg at Wolf 359.

==[[image:promcl.jpg |150px|right|]] [[Prometheus Class:]]==

This Starship is an experimental long range tactical starship which served as the testbed for the new Multi-Vectored Attack design. In MVA mode, the Prometheus separates into 3 warp-capable sections, each fully armed and attacks their target from multiple vectors. The MVA sequence is fully automated and computer controlled. The Prometheus also was the launch pad of the new EMH Mark II, an upgraded version of the EMH used on earlier starships and had holoemitters on each deck.

==[[image:sabcl.jpg |150px|left|]] [[Saber Class:]]==

The Saber Class is small, fast, nimble and heavily armed. Some in Starfleet have objected to its class designation, arguing the Saber Class is closer to an Escort Type vessel than a Light Cruiser. In 2347 the Starfleet was reorganized, and the old Destroyer Type vessels were renamed "Escort Type", to satisfy a then-growing trend of pacifism in the Fleet Command structure.

The Saber Class, indeed, fills the role of a Destroyer, or, an Escort. Escort Type vessels in Starfleet are not intended to be multi-role, but have only one true purpose: Defense. However, due to the Saber's design flexibility and status as a multi-role starship, the designation Light Cruiser still remains.

==[[image:sovcl.jpg |150px|right|]] [[Sovereign Class:]]==

Classified as an explorer, the Sovereign-Class is also equipped with some of the most powerful weapons in Starfleet. These ships are rumored to feature the saucer/engineering hull design like the Galaxy-Class which can separate and reconnect the sections. The Sovereign-Class starship also has integrated technology from the Intrepid-Class project, such as bio-neural circuitry and emergency holo systems.

==[[image:USS_Spectre.jpg |150px|left|]] [[Spectre Class:]]==

The Spectre Class starship is primarily designed for exploration, however alternative configurations are available.

Constructed at [[Earth Station McKinley]], using [[phase cloaking]] technology originally developed for the ill fated [[USS Pegasus]] under the now infamous [[Captain Erik Pressman]], who was imprisoned for betraying the [[Treaty of Algeron]] which forbade the Federation from building [[phase cloaking]] technology at that time.

==[[image:stecl.jpg |150px|right|]] [[Steamrunner Class:]]==

The Steamrunner Class began production at the same time the Akira Class did. And, like the Akira Class was to be the next Fleet wide Heavy Cruiser, so was the Steamrunner to be the next Frigate. Its four rapid-fire torpedo tubes replace the need for multiple weapons pods the New Orleans has depended on.

Big, powerful, and down-right ugly, the Steamrunner Class has been in the midst of every major military action in the past three decades. Twenty alone were lost to the Dominion over the course of the War. To date, 162 Steamrunner Class frigates are deployed across the Federation, and ten additional hulls are laid out each year, six at Utopia Planitia, and four at Groomridge.

==[[image:soycl.jpg |150px|left|]] [[Soyuz Class:]]==

In 2271 the first of the original Miranda Class ships began a complete refit, similar to its larger cousin the Constitution had earlier in the decade. Of the 350 in service, 60 were refit. One, the USS Miranda, was decommissioned and added to the Starfleet Museum and the others were mothballed. The refit was so extensive that Starfleet decided to re-designate the refitted vessels as a new class.

The Soyuz Class continued to act as Explorer class units for the next century, forming the backbone of Starfleet throughout this period. In time however, their relatively low cruising speed combined with the gradually increasing distances they had to cover, caused by the expansion of the Federation, began to wear on the ships. Their relative lack of recreational facilities and the cramped quarters began to lead to a marked drop-off in crew performance, and Starfleet considered retiring the class.

Instead, it was decided to use the Soyuz/Miranda design as the basis for a general purpose vessel for use within the body of the Federation. In some ships, the science labs were removed and replaced with expanded cargo bays and an upgraded weapons array. Some ships had their 'roll bar' removed and were used more for research purposes. The Miranda class was used extensively to patrol the Klingon and Romulan borders, as well as cargo carriers and particularly as colony transport craft.

In fleet actions they acted in support of the larger ships, acting as outer pickets to the fleet. Some vessels were refitted as ammunition ships, using their extra cargo space to carry photon torpedo reloads and Phaser components. Others were converted to tankers, carrying supplies of Deuterium and Antimatter. A group of sixty ships was fitted with modern extra sensor pods and used in the electronic intelligence role. Their ability to look after themselves during a battle made them an excellent choice for these roles.

Today the Soyuz/Miranda's operate in a similar capacity, and although they are not front-line combat units in themselves they are still to be seen operating in major fleet actions in support of the modern vessels. Recently several Soyuz/Miranda class vessels have begun to show signs of serious stress fractures in their hulls, investigations are underway with all ships in the class, and although the results are yet to be announced it is thought that the problem is likely due to the age of the hulls.

If so, the Soyuz/Miranda class is likely to be forced into retirement sometime over the next few years.

Does anyone want to talk to me? :)

Yes! You haven't posted to me yet on the Boudicca, Anthony. And here you just stated in the [[Template: Newsletter|Winter Issue Newsletter]] that you always post to the new people on the ship. LOL! How is the house coming? -[[herbalsheila]]

*chuckle* I will, as soon as I get a few things sorted here, my PC is still in 1000s parts on the floor here... as soon as I get that back upto speed, I can focus on posting once more.

Anthony, if in case you do want people to communicate with you on your wiki page bio, let me make sure you understand this. It took me forever to get that this was you, Anthony Keen, on here since when I searched that name under the ST:F Wiki, it ended up coming up with where the name Anthony appears in a few articles. I would never have expected you, the wonderful site builder for ST:F, to be listed here as something as alien to me as 'Sysop' of all things. People might have difficulty finding you. I just thought that you should know. -[[herbalsheila]]

*Thanks, I've setup a redirect from my name. Sysop is the name of the administrator and can't be changed, I never figured anyone would be looking for me under my name.

Oh and Anthony, with all this '''huge''' amount of free time you have right now, you should be able to work up an article or story for our winter issue what with most of us up here in the middle of winter, tax time, Christmas retail season, and school semesters and all, right? *wiggles eyebrows* LOL! -[[herbalsheila]]

*We'll see! <BEG>

Hey Anthony, I finally found something to write about on the Wiki ST:F Newsletter. So I did an article tonight on the RL documentary airing on the History Channel Jan 19, 2007. The Spectre and the Paladin, have not yet reported in with thier stuff. I can't think of what else to say, other than to talk about the Arborians. But this isn't the Sheila issue; its supposed to be written by more people. Help me out here! Can you do an article on, say, warp engine theory? I have always wanted to know about that. -[[herbalsheila]]

*Done!

Anthony, you da man! Great article; I love the picture. I still haven't gotten down how to put pictures in very well myself so I am thrilled. Thank you so much! -[[herbalsheila]]

*No problem at all - for a good FAQ on uploading photos, check out the [[help:contents|help page]]

Anthony, I am having difficulty doing a User/Player info box like the ones that Kevin Schram created for the ST:F Wiki. There isn't one for the Hades, only for the Mystique and the other ships. Can you create one with an updated picture of the ship? -[[herbalsheila]]

*I'll see what I can do :)

*All done and I updated your page.

Thank you so much, Anthony. You are wonderful. -[[herbalsheila]]

Anthony, I stumbled across your album pictures and I want captions! Especially on the pictures from the UK. Someday I will have enough money to go visit, but untill then, I really want to know what I am looking at in your pictures from when you went there. I haven't got to the album on Hong Kong yet. But I know I will want captions there too. -[[herbalsheila]]

*Next time I have a quiet afternoon at work, I will do that. I usually head back to the UK every couple of years, visit my parents and so on but they seem to prefer coming down under, so that's cool, the flight is a major pain!

*Anthony! Thank you so much for the article on computer cores! I am thrilled. I just put together the article on 'ST: The Adveture Continues' for our headliner story and I even included two pictures! Yay! I feel rather proud of myself. How do yu like that picture of Chase Masterson?! Whoo hoo! Anyway, Ken is doing another article on Federation Economics, which will be our third story. So we are doing good. The Dennison, Paladin and the Champlain haven't reported in yet, but I am sure they will soon. Hugs! -[[herbalsheila]]

** Tony, not sure where to put this but another spammer to block: 221.112.179.173 - [[Rivers|Liz]]

Hello Tony. The website was down Friday but I found it back up by about 9pm CST. Hooray! -[[herbalsheila]]

I am not sure what happened to Kevin Schram, but do you think you could get the Newsletter Template ready to go for the Summer 2007 Issue? I don't know how to do that, but I am also not the administrator for the site. I am but a lowly editor and plan to stay that way! :D -[[herbalsheila]]

* You bet, I will have a go this weekend at doing that, all done now, archived the Spring newsletter and setup summer 2007 for you!

Anthony, thank you so much for the article on the Academy. That was really informative, even for me. I appreciate your continued support of the newsletter. It wouldn't be as good without you. Talk to me somitime soon on IM, will you? We might need to brainstorm on ideas for future newsletter articles. -[[herbalsheila]]

Hello Anthony! Do you think you could archive the old Summer 2007 Issue of the ST:F Newletter so I can put in stuff for Fall 2007 Issue? I suspect you are pretty busy these days, and I am sorry to pester you. Thank you -[[herbalsheila]]

* All done!

Ok Anthony we seem to have a Wiki linkage problem. Though I can cross link pictures in existing articles for the newsletter, I have trouble adding linkage to pictures I have uploaded since the move to the new server. Have we somehow lost some code or something? I really want to finish up the Fall 2007 newsletter. -[[herbalsheila]]

Yup, I know your problem Sheila! I emailed Anthony about it about a week ago, I'm just waiting for him to email me back (I know he's busy). Any images I uploaded about a week or two weeks before the server change dont show up on the pages. And when I re-upload they still don't show. - [[Jono Bradley]]

* Yeah, I would say that any images uploaded in the past week before the move are gone -- please upload them again with a new name. Consider those images (and their links) dead.

But I uploaded these after the move to the new server. -[[herbalsheila]]

* If you can upload them again now, so I can check and do the links and leave them dead, then I can check what's going on.

* I've tried uploading some images for you Anthony, but none of them work. Apart from one, The Wiki seems to let 'header' images through. Since the server move the only two images I've uploaded and had work are the images on the top of [[Jono Janeway]]'s page and [[Samantha Wilde' Fiacie| Sam Fiacie's]] page. Because these images are the ones used on the site, they're quite small images (smaller than any other I've tried uploading) could it be a problem with the size of the images we are uploading? - [[Jono Bradley]]

* Try it now, I've updated the wiki from 1.5.2 to 1.6.10, the last version to use php 4, if we want a newer version, we have to go to php 5.

All my images now seem to be in place, from before. However I seem to be hitting quite allot of errors all over the Wiki now. [[Jono Janeway]] - You get allot of error lines above the top etc... I tried to go onto the Recently Uploaded Gallery and just got an error message. - [[Jono Bradley]]

* I didn't get an error on that page, please list any and all pages that have errors on them, so I can test.

Whatever you have done, seems to have done the trick Anthony! Yay! All the errors are gone and any of the few images which havent been retained are quite easily fisable by re-upload! Thank-you! - [[Jono Bradley]]

== Character Info ==
'''Character's Full Name:''' Shayhiloosh

'''Species:''' [[Arborians|Arborian]]

'''Gender:''' Asexual

'''Age:''' Youthful at 100 human years

'''Place of Birth:''' Arboria Prime

'''Height:''' 7-7.2 feet depending on current foliage

'''Weight:''' 175 pounds

'''Eyes:''' 3 Blue eyes on vine-like stalks that can extend approximately 1.5 feet in any direction from the inside of main branch crotch.

'''Skin:''' Brown black

'''Blood Color:''' Golden Amber

'''Hair:''' None but leaf color is silvery green

== Physical Description ==
Tough, durable, rubbery, skin, slightly wrinkled brown black skin similar to that that found on dolphins or elephants covers Shayhiloosh’s body and limbs. Despite hir’s treelike characteristics, s/he does not have ‘bark’ as does a tree. S/he has many root legs, which join together at a ‘trunk’ in an area approximately equivalent to the middle of the thigh on the average human. Hir upper part is composed of branches, with round, silvery ‘leaves’ with tiny jagged looking edges, the ends of which come to a point, similar to those of a quaking asp, that shake and rustle when speaking. Hir main trunk is roughly 2.5 feet. Shayhiloosh has 5 main branches that project from hir’s trunk at about 90- 135 degrees when at rest. Hir three blue, almost human-looking eyes are extended from his main upper branch crotch, about five feet from hir roots, on thick vine-like stalks about 2.5 feet long. S/he has three self-grown, hand-like appendages in hir upper branches. These appear as twigs up above hir main arms, and consist of three flexible “fingers” with a flexible opposing twig which serves as a thumb.

== Family and Background ==
Shayhiloosh was raised in a nursery or young ‘grove’ of sorts, where he was planted in rich loamy soil. Rooting hirself in soil at night and looking at the starts at night after hir studies were done for the day became a favorite pastime.

Hir was one of the few [[Arborians]] that enjoyed talking and interacting with Federation ambassadors and other off world visitors. After hir species was contacted and a Federation Embassy established, Shayhiloosh was chosen by the [[Arborian|Arborian]] elders to go out and gain experience within the context of the Federation, to encourage understanding and gain perspective on other species. Enrolling in Starfleet seemed the most obvious way to learn and gain experience with other cultures, and to explore and see what else was in the universe.

== History, Education and Skills ==
As for many [[Arborians]], Shayhiloosh was taught by local elders. His people have a natural predilection for understanding of the ecological sciences. After completing the highest level of education his people could offer, he was immediately enrolled in Starfleet, where he majored in Science with an emphasis on xenobotany. Hir also enjoyed studying stellar cartography and astronomy.

'''Pre-Starfleet History:''' In hir youth, as a part of hir training, Shayhiloosh spent a decade or so traveling extensively within Arboria’s solar system along with one of hir elders, old Hannahlish, taking surveys of the system’s sun and analyzing solar activity. During that time, Shayhiloosh conducted many experiments to study the effects of sunspot activity upon various species of plant growth. S/he also helped to set up the Starfleet Embassy on Arboria, where hir specialized in security.

== Medical History ==
'''Species:''' Shayhiloosh and other Arborians have both plant and animal characteristics. Chemically and physiologically [[Arborians]] resemble yeast with chlorophyll. Overall height at full growth can reach approximately 7 feet tall, but an individual might look a bit taller if in proper full leaf. Individual Arborian’s ‘leaves’ can be found in a variety of shapes, and the appearance of one individual compared to another is often far more pronounced than in humans. They can, if they wish, grow extra appendages, but it takes time and energy, and most do not consider the effort necessary.

[[Arborians]] need rich loamy soil with plenty of mineral content. They ‘eat’ through the root tips on their ‘feet’, which can open or close via large pores. Without adequate species-appropriate nourishment, they may potentially suffer from a variety of health problems, including leaf wilt, leaf loss, swelling of joints, general withering of the body, and loss of vision. They require a few hours of exposure to UV rays in which to rest, root, eat, and conduct photosynthesis each day. Natural sunlight is preferable, but ship-generated UV rays suffice under normal conditions. A horticultural or botanical area would be perfect quarters for an Arborian.

'''Personal:''' Nothing of note. Shayhiloosh is normally in good general health as per his species. S/he did take the time to grow extra branches, as s/he felt that two were not enough to do the specialized tasks required by hir service in Starfleet, but that more than three extra hands were too many. S/he can use hir stong prehensile roots to grip or pick up things as needed.

== Starfleet History ==
The first day of Shayhiloosh’s first assignment was a major catastrophe. The USS Boudicca, to which s/he had been assigned, was attacked and boarded by enemy marines from the USS Exeter. Shayhiloosh attempted to protect hirself and hir collogues in sickbay, only to discover belatedly that these Marines were provided with “superman” BDU body armor. S/he was severely injured in the attempt, and was subsequently deposited on Starbase Geneva to receive care. When hir condition was assessed, s/he was sent to Cait to recover, due to the excellent quality of medical care available there, and the need for a naturally sunlit environment in which to heal.

== Skills ==
Due to hir off-planet experience, Shayhiloosh has become more adaptable than is the norm for hir species. S/he is quite clever when it comes to meeting hir special needs in a shipboard environment.

Hand-to-root-and-branch combat is hir specialty. S/he is not especially martially oriented, but when threatened at close range, s/he is a formidable opponent, if properly prepared for the nature of the attack. S/he can carry several weapons at once in hir multiple limbs, and use them all simultaneously. Also, considering both the training s/he received as a security consultant while setting up the Starfleet embassy on hir home planet, together with hir three flexible eyestalks, s/he is very difficult to take by surprise.

== Other Information ==
'''Hobbies:''' Shayhiloosh enjoys singing, Arborian styles of dance, and rooting hirself in interesting places.

'''General Notes:''' Correct pronoun usage for an androgynous species such as Shayhiloosh is as follows: s/he as subject (S/he is walking), ‘hir’ (pronounced as heer) as the possessive, and ‘hirself’ (pronounced heerself). Examples below.

'''Speech:''' [[Arborians]] use their leaf-like bladders in a breathy, breezy almost whispery voice which rustles.

'''Hearing:''' [[Arborians]] can hear by detecting vibrations through touch and through the air. They can detect and generate tones and sounds outside human hearing range, including subsonic and ultrasonic ranges. These can be used to communicate long distances. No ears are visible.

'''Sitting:''' Though Shayhiloosh can bend easily and curve hir trunk, hir natural stance is to remain upright. Hir preferred method of ‘sitting’ is to gracefully spread out hir roots, in a manner like what humans call doing the splits. After sinking down in this fashion, Shayhiloosh then curls up hir ‘feet’ or root ‘legs’ in a nice neat circle around hir lower trunk. S/he finds this preferable to bending hir trunk, as would be required to sit in a manner common to humanoid species. Hir is then short enough to access tables, consoles and any other equipment built primarily for humanoids. For better stability, if there is room, Shayhiloosh can and will spread hir roots out as far as they will go, regardless of the surface.

'''Psychology:''' [[Arborians]] have a strong code of ethics, and will not cheat, steal, murder, or lie. They will act to defend themselves in instances of life threatening danger, and are dangerous when provoked. They can prevaricate and omit the truth when the situation deems necessary for secretiveness and discretion. They tend to be resistant to change.

Shayhiloosh personally feels that most species are a bit on the small side, and have far too few limbs. S/he is also unusually open-minded, as [[Arborians]] go.

'''Special Traits:''' When at rest, usually for at least a few hours each daylight cycle when [[Arborians]] are able to conduct photosynthesis, they share a type of group telepathy. [[Arborians]] are able to access something they refer to as the Dreamplane. For the uninitiated, the Dreamplane can be a dangerous place as besides mirroring whatever happens in reality, it can manifest people’s sorrow, fear, joy, and anger.

(Starbase Geneva – Botanical Gardens – Botanist Ensign Shayhiloosh – 2000)

Shayhiloosh sighed from hir leafy boughs. It was quiet now in the Botanical Gardens. S/he could relax and do a bit of exploring. In waking, s/he felt refreshed, and had fed all day in the fertile soil amidst the small grove of trees far off of the much traveled pathways. Shayhiloosh stretched hir sleep stiffened boughs and rustled appreciatively.

With the coming of the night cycle, the birds and other small animals settled down to rest. Shayhiloosh felt almost overfed between photosynthesis and rooting in the rich soil for such a long period of daylight hours. S/he was certainly bursting with energy and needed to put that into movement or budding and new growth. As s/he already was as tall as was possible, yet still able to function and fit easily into this mainly humanoid society, movement was preferable. Extending hir roots on top of the soil and hir eyestalks to look about, Shayhiloosh began to meander through the Geneva’s Botanical Gardens, under what s/he knew to be simulated starlight and a simulated full moon, but thankful to the Great Elders to be alive and exulting in hir present environment. It seemed an eternity since hir had last rooted in such an idyllic setting. Starbase Geneva had a well balanced ecosystem in their Gardens, complete with water reclamation, many smaller flowering deciduous trees, a few of the larger pines and conifers, and flowering plants and shrubs. Shayhiloosh found the small lake at the center of the Gardens after wandering for quite some time on the stone pathways. S/he sighed all the way from hir tiniest rootlets to the tips of hir highest leaves at such luxury so far from home in space. The tiny points of starlight and moonlight from overhead reflected in the water surface, sparkling and twinkling.

The small lake contained the largest collected amount of water on the station and was a significant reservoir. Shayhiloosh dipped a single rootlet into the water to check for purity and found it palatable though with a slight metallic overlay of flavor. He estimated .00000231 percent of metals in the water. ~It is contained in a metal station and is therefore to be expected.~ S/he thrust a few larger roots into the water to drink deeply. The garden soil, though fertile and damp, had not supplied enough moisture and Shayhiloosh was parched.

As s/he was about to withdraw from the water, Shayhiloosh heard a noise. One of the entrances was some way off and the staff kept their machinery well lubricated. S/he had heard no squeaking of the portal doors parting. At the approaching footsteps Shayhiloosh froze as s/he was, fearful of discovery. Though s/he had been warned, Shayhiloosh was undeterred in hir quest for interspecies understanding and the truth about the Federation’s civil war. So in cautious determination, s/he withdrew hir eyestalks into hir upper boughs, peeking out from hir leaves quietly, remaining motionless.

A small humanoid approached the lake, a human male walking with a smaller four legged creature. The two were connected by a flat looking finely woven vine. From pictures and holograms Shayhiloosh had seen back at the Academy, s/he guessed it was a variety of canine, one of those referred to as terriers. Though canines were pre-sentient, they could be lethal creatures if frightened or provoked.

Oddly, the canine seemed to be leading the human, sniffing industriously and constantly, following some type of scent. With a dawning horror, Shayhiloosh realized the canine was following where s/he had walked through the Gardens. In what Shayhiloosh perceived as a deliberate show of defiance, the canine trotted to a nearby bush, and lifting a back leg, proceeded to urinate on the plant. Disgusted by such behavior, Shayhiloosh hoped the animal would not attempt such an action toward hirself. The creature then proceeded to dig all four feet into the ground, marring the thick turf and flinging grass, leaves and soil everywhere.

Putting its snout to the ground again, the canine followed the meandering path Shayhiloosh had taken toward the lake. It approached hir roots and stopped staring straight at Shayhiloosh, bared sharp wicked looking teeth and began growling aggressively.

“What is it, Fling?” asked the small human, looking about for the source of the creature’s discomfort. “What’s the matter boy? There’s nothing here but a tree and the lake, just like always.” He looked around and then back toward the motionless dark tree. “I haven’t seen that tree here before. They must have planted it since I have been here. But they didn’t do a very good job.” The human poked at hir roots. The canine continued growling and snarling toward Shayhiloosh, bounding about the boy aggressively. “Hey there Fling, it’s alright. There isn’t anyone here but us,” said the boy. He stooped to pet the animal, stroking its white wiry coat in a failed attempt at reassurance. “Look I’ll show you.” Caught by surprise, Shayhiloosh could only watch in astonishment as the youngling shimmied up his body and levering up Shayhiloosh’s main branches, proceeded to put a hard booted foot into hir branch crotch.

“That hurts!” said Shayhiloosh emphatically. Hir main branches bent quickly to catch the human who had let go in fright. Shayhiloosh caught the boy before hitting the ground, knowing of humans’ frailty. The canine, barking wildly, reached a new crescendo.

Extending hir eyestalks, Shayhiloosh gently deposited hir small burden to the ground. The youngling was sitting and backed up quickly, eyes wide in a frightened pale face. “Come here Fling,” said the boy, hauling the growling dog close and enfolding it in shaking arms. The human stared up at the gently swaying eyestalks in amazement.

“Are you injured?’ inquired Shayhiloosh. At the boy’s negative headshake, Shayhiloosh spoke again in his breezy whispery voice. “I will not hurt you, but your foot hurt me in my crotch.” Shayhiloosh paused and until this moment hir had not realized how lonely the Gardens now seemed. “I would like your company. I am only staying for a short time. I am sorry I frightened you.”

S/he looked at the boy with concern and drooped in sorrow. There were no elders of which to ask endless questions, or sprouts to teach, and no visitors with which to converse. For one daylight shift and this night cycle Shayhiloosh had stayed quiet, hidden from prying eyes in a more remote area of the Gardens, waiting until the Security Chief would let hir know that hir transport had arrived. But now hir presence was known and there could be trouble. “If any other than the Security Chief or the commanding officer know of my existence, my life may be at risk. Please do not betray me,” pleaded Shayhiloosh.

The human’s face blanched, and then like a ray of sunlight from behind a cloud, a charming look came across the boy’s face. “I won’t tell anyone. You want to talk to me? Nobody ever wants to talk to me. They always tell me to go away and to be quiet. You are the first one who ever wanted me to talk!” said the boy in amazement. Then his face changed, wrinkling in worry. “You’re not here to invade us, are you?”

“No, young sprout, I have no such plan of conquest.” Shayhiloosh laughed breezily through hir quaking leaves. “I am a newly graduated Ensign from Starfleet Academy. My name is Shayhiloosh and I am traveling to my assignment in the science department on the USS Boudicca. I will leave soon.” Hir branches, leaves and trunk drooped again. “I have had to remain hidden. But I am alone.”

The boy nodded and hugging the dog spoke reassuringly. “It’s alright boy. This is a friend.” The youngling reached into a pocket and pulled out a brightly colored ball. The dog, distracted, became excited and wagging its short tail leaped out of the boy’s arms. It jumped around the boy in wild abandon, barking maniacally. The human threw the ball and the canine went racing after it, voicing its excitement.

“My dog loves to play. If you throw the ball for Fling, you’ll have a friend for life,” laughed the human sprout with bared teeth.

”How old are you and what are you called?” asked Shayhiloosh. The sprout proudly stood and said, “My name is Piotr Iosovich. I live on Deck 8 with my mother and father. I am in my second year of grade school and I’m seven. My father is in the science department.” Piotr paused, considering. “You’ll have to leave the Gardens if you want to board a ship.” Just then Fling came bounding back holding the ball in a drooling happy mouth and dropped it at Piotr’s feet, jumping and wriggling in energetic motion. Piotr picked up the ball to the Fling’s rapturous delight. “Here sir.” Handing the ball to Shayhiloosh, the boy grinned again. “Throw it, sir. Fling will love it.” Shayhiloosh doubted that, judging by the number of teeth in Fling’s mouth s/he had seen recently, but obligingly threw the ball. In a few moments Fling brought the ball back and happily dropped it at hir roots. When Shayhiloosh bent down to pick up the ball, the dog reacted, intimidated, and backed away barking noisily.

Shayhiloosh threw the ball again in an effort to quiet the noisy creature. Off it leaped to find the ball. It seemed very excitable for a companion. “I think Fling likes you now,” said Piotr. “I hope so,” answered Shayhiloosh, thinking of the high number of sharp teeth in its mouth. “Is school enjoyable?” asked Shayhiloosh. “I hate school,” said Piotr kicking the ground disconsolately. “They make me write and spell when I want to know how stuff works. I like to take stuff apart, only Mama doesn’t like that. Papa just laughs and says I will be a good engineer some day. Why should I do spelling? It’s so hard!”

Reaching down, Shayhiloosh gently picked up Piotr and after sitting the boy on a main branch angled at ninety degrees, hir began to walk along the lake shore. Piotr was surprised but looked thrilled by the scenery change. One eyestalk looked at Piotr closely. “Communication between you and others should be very clear, Piotr Iosovich. For example, if you wish to accomplish putting together a warp engine assembly on a ship of any kind, you must know what the names of the pieces are and how they go together. You will need to help coordinate with others to do this type of work. Either you must learn to communicate easily and fluently, or give up what you enjoy doing best to do something else you may not like as well. One must do something with one’s lifetime, as life is precious.”

Fling caught up with them, holding the ball in a sloppy wet mouth, and walked happily alongside.

“I suppose,” said Piotr reluctantly. “I guess I better start working on learning how to spell warp engine parts.”

“That is the idea,” agreed Shayhiloosh leaves quaking with laughter. “I commend you on your choice.”

Just then a voice came over the commbadge Shayhiloosh was wearing. =^=Security Chief to Ensign Shayhiloosh.=^=. Shayhiloosh halted. “Yes Chief? Is my transport here?” =^=Yes Ensign, it has arrived. We will be down with the big box to load you up and sneak you off the station.=^=

“I understand sir. Thank you, sir.” Shayhiloosh began to walk back quickly toward hir little grove to obtain hir few hidden possessions. “I will be leaving very soon, Piotr. You must go. You were not to know of my existence here. Do not forget your companion and the ball.” Shayhiloosh put the boy back down on the ground on his feet.

The boy, moving the few steps toward the tall ensign, stumbled trying not to step on any roots. He hugged Shayhiloosh around the trunk to hir startled but delighted surprise. “Goodbye. Thank you for talking to me.” Gently Shayhiloosh bent down a bough to place an appendage against the boy’s back. “You have brought a bright light to this lonely heart today, Piotr Iosovich. We Arborians live a long time and I will not forget you.”

(Freighter Stephanie Lou, Deep Space – Primary Cargo Bay – Botanist Ensign Shayhiloosh (jg) – 2039)

As cramped as the crate was, Shayhiloosh did what s/he could to rest quietly. The original plan was that someone would come and let hir out of the box after leaving Geneva. But something must have gone wrong; no one ever came.

Shayhiloosh couldn’t tolerate being in the box any more. The crate corners did not allow room to stretch out hir boughs with any comfort. The dark time seemed eternal, plodding along endlessly. Though s/he had listened carefully, there had been no sound to indicate any being in the freighter’s main cargo hold for a very long time.

~Enough! It is time,~ thought Shayhiloosh impatiently. Breaking out of the crate would prove no problem, although it would be destroyed in the process. It was made out of a heavy corrugated plastic with a few small slivers of cracks for air on one upper edge. But it had not been designed for permanent residence.

Shayhiloosh began to push. Arborians were amazingly strong, due to thier trunks and branches being made of long slender muscular tubes bound up in bundles in a highly efficient manner. The top of the crate began to creak and split open in protest. Shayhiloosh kept pushing and worked up a main branch through the open edge. Gripping the open edge with strong rubbery like tendrils and straightening hir boughs, the plastic crate roof could stand no more strain. With a loud crack it popped off and several pieces went flying outward into the murky cargo hold.

~Oh, to stretch upward again!~ Shayhiloosh reached up and out in joy, relishing the fresher air of the dark hold. The confining walls were easier once the top was off. All Shayhiloosh had to do was to break two corners apart and s/he was free and could stretch out hir roots as well.

~Now, I must find light, food and water~ s/he thought. S/he began moving about in the darkened hold, trying to find an exit or even a wall.

Moving about proved to be difficult, but not impossible. The cargo was strewn about haphazardly and much of it wasn’t fastened down, but in the total darkness it was difficult to move around on the floor. Shayhiloosh began to climb some of it as a last resort.

Finding a wall, Shayhiloosh moved only a few yards before s/he came across a panel. Brushing a strong flexible hand against it, s/he saw the portal doors part. Blinking against the light after such a long incarceration in darkness, Shayhiloosh moved with determination. The need for water was becoming dire.

When Shayhiloosh cautiously stuck out an eyestalk to look about, s/he found that the corridor was clear. S/he moved quietly through the portal and it closed behind hir. Shayhiloosh crept quietly through the hallway and straightened instinctively into leafy stillness when voices began echoing nearby.

Two beings came around a corner near Shayhiloosh. They were arguing about money, something about which many humanoids seemed overly preoccupied. They stopped upon seeing a tree in the dim corridor.

“Take me to your captain,” said Shayhiloosh. “I need to speak to your captain.”

The humans, startled, backed away. They whispered to each other. One, a taller dark skinned man, stepped forward and gestured toward Shayhiloosh. “Who are you?” he asked his eyes wide. The Arborian’s eyestalks peered out from hir leafy boughs. The two humanoids seemed fearful and Shayhiloosh sought to take advantage of that. “I am Shayhiloosh. I was boxed up for transport in the cargo hold and left to die. This was not our arrangement. I wish to speak to the Captain.”

Ten minutes later, Shayhiloosh found hirself addressing a portly human woman who had kind eyes. “I am sorry that is what happened to you, Ensign Shayhiloosh. My instructions were to deliver a large box of supplies to the USS Boudicca. I had no idea there was anyone alive in that crate or in our cargo hold.”

“Could I have a bucket of fresh water? I am beginning to wilt extensively. I would also like some sort of soil or minerals if you have any.” The human captain smiled reassuringly and said, “I am sure we can find something you can eat.”

Mission: Reflections of van Helsing and the Dragons, Day 4

Mission: Available Light, Day 16

Stardate: 2407.02.10

(USS Boudicca – Sickbay – Botanist Ensign Shayhiloosh (jg) – 1538)

Shayhiloosh drifted in and out of consciousness, barely aware of Dr. Jahlen attending to hir wounded parts. Hir was in agony and was weak enough that at one point hir became vaguely aware hir was propped up against a wall in Sickbay.

(Reply Jahlen)

Upset that the hostile Marines had hit one of the doctors hard enough to send her flying across the room, Shayhiloosh had been reluctant to obtain much care, hir concern for the bloodied doctor who was being threatened outweighing concern for hirself, but the grave extent of hir injuries soon gave hir little choice. He had lost a lot of ichor and was having difficulty remaining alert due to the throbbing agony from hir many wonds. Hir main branches began to droop and leaves began to wilt, and in bleak despair hir fled, seeking solace in the Dreamplane of the ship.

(Reply Jahlen, any in Sickbay)

(USS Boudicca - Dreamscape, The Grey Plain – Botanist Ensign Shayhiloosh (jg) – 1539)

Again, as before, Shayhiloosh found hirself on the dull grey metal plain, hir pain a pulsing throb but a more bearable background to the scene before hir. Hir entire trunk was trembling with weakness, and the scene that greeted Shayhiloosh gave no comfort.

S/he watched as large dark shapes scuttled across it, busily hurrying elsewhere. One approached and Shayhiloosh shuddered as the dark enraged looking insect-like shape scurried through hir ephemeral self. A muted roaring buzzing sound filled the atmosphere.

Shayhiloosh had hoped to draw solace from the eternal stars, but found much of the overhead vastness to be covered by a large shadow. Studying it warily, s/he realized this must be the enemy ship. As s/he watched, smaller shapes descended from ropes or tendrils from the gargantuan shape that blocked most of the star field. ~They must be the hostile forces, boarding the Boudicca.~ Wondering if s/he could effect anything here in hir weakened state, Shayhiloosh could only watch helplessly as more climbed down from the ship.

As more of the large, dark, scuttling things scampered past, s/he remembered the small scruffy creature with concern. It was aware of hir, knew hir and might even feel safe with hir. S/he could use the company as s/he didn't feel too brave right now either. Leaf bladders shaking with fright, s/he felt fear welling up as a sinister shadow inside, threatening to overwhelm.

S/he began following, shambling along unsteadily, after the dark shapes. S/he couldn't hope to stop them, but maybe s/he could contact someone who could. Hope gave Shayhiloosh more courage once again and s/he drew against that, in an effort to marshal hir strength.

Moving with the thin scattered tide of dark creatures, Shayhiloosh worked to reach whatever point they were all moving toward, dreading what s/he might find. The plain wasn't so barren. Now it was littered with debris; a large piece of stone here, a large conical shape there, bits of smaller rock and shattered pieces, of what Shayhiloosh could not guess. S/he suspected it to be parts of the ship's consoles, furniture, or even bodies, and knew hir mind must be protecting itself from grief and shock in an effort to stay strong enough to function, so Shayhiloosh did not investigate the rock-like objects closely. Instead s/he moved past them, carefully going around or avoiding them altogether, attempting no tactile contact.

Perched atop one large rock was the little scruffy being, frightened, trying to make itself small and hide. It trembled in fright and was hunched in a ball of fear, radiating terror. So far the dark creatures around them seemed unaware of them as they scurried about moving generally in one direction in their unstoppable tide.

Shayhiloosh stopped beside the large rock. ::Hello again, small one. I see you are frightened. I am frightened too. Would you like to stay with me?::

Until now, amidst all this trouble and pain, s/he had no idea how much s/he missed home. Home, with its peaceful vales and hills, meadows and lakes was so quiet and happy by comparison with the present situation. Arboria Prime with its muttering elders, classes of younglings, and gentle rains, seemed incredibly, wonderfully, joyous and idyllic, compared to the place s/he was in now.

The creature looked up blinking large round dark eyes wide with anxiety, whooped with loud relief, and sprang eagerly toward Shayhiloosh's upper trunk. It didn't hurt much to have the creature leap like that; it was relatively small and light. Shayhiloosh felt hir could bear it as long as hir wasn't alone. He scuttled about to sit on one of hir main branches, clinging tightly with long fingers.

An odd thing occurred. Shayhiloosh, already unsteady, brushed against the stone with some of hir roots. S/he froze in astonishment as the rock like shape opened to show a room with a brown haired human female holding the hand of a tiny youngling. Startled, the Arborian pulled away. The scene of the room disappeared.

The creature, gripping Shayhiloosh tightly wrapped its limbs around the branch and stared with fright into one of Shayhiloosh's eyestalks. ::Bad things,:: it told him. ::We are together and we will help each other:: Shayhiloosh told the little creature. S/he very privately, deep inside, hoped that it was true.

== Shayhiloosh Rooting Trying to Get Well ==

Mission: Reflections of van Helsing and the Dragon, Day 4

Mission: Available Light, Day 16

Stardate: 2407.02.10

(USS Boudicca – Ship Dreamplane – Botanist Ensign Shayhiloosh - 1650)

Drowsing under the quiet beauty of the stars overhead in the majestic sky, Shayhiloosh became aware that the little scruffy creature was cuddled up sleeping on one of hir studier and fortunately uninjured main branches. S/he had too many aches and pains all over, but they had receded and were more bearable.

The brilliant colorful world of the Arborian Prime Dreamplane contrasted strongly with this dull grey metallic plane, possibly because of the Boudicca's metallic structure and content, and the fact that a single Arborian was here with only this small creature for company. It was possible that more shared perceptions together could create a less barren and vital Dreamplane here, but Shayhiloosh knew no way of doing that unless they began housing more graduates of the Academy that were Arborians.

Peering with gratitude through hir branches at the little fellow who had shown such bravery, Shayhiloosh noted sadly that hir branches were now bare; s/he would be mute and it would be a day, maybe several, before more leaf bladders could grow large enough to allow hir a voice. But with sustaining so many injuries, hir wasn't sure how long it might take. If s/he could concentrate on only growing a few, that might allow him better assignment of energy to heal the rest of hirself. But hir voice would be softer and more difficult for most humanoids to hear. S/he sighed mentally in resignation to that.

As long as s/he could communicate, s/he would not feel so alone. Other than hir present companion, the ship Dreamplane seemed bereft and empty, a desolate place, but one that presently afforded Shayhiloosh quiet to recuperate. Again Shayhiloosh missed the hills, meadows, valleys, and lakes of home. But most of all s/he missed hir people. Perhaps they might stop by hir planet for a visit so the elders could meet the crew and understand for themselves more about the conflict the rebels were fighting. It would afford some time for Shayhiloosh to visit with hir people and bask in the Dreamplane of hir planet.

Shayhiloosh hirself had always understood what the rebels were fighting for; freedom. S/he had begun to fully understand that concept better all the time. S/he felt that freedom to have one's opinions that might differ from the elders, ancient and revered though they might be, should be a freedom for all sentient species across the galaxy, as long as it refrained from hurting or taking advantage of anyone else. Freedom to trade safely, to make internal decisions without interference, and to uphold the individual rights of sentient beings were concepts fundamental to the original foundation of the Federation. Though these concepts were new to Shayhiloosh, they were not difficult to entwine in one's roots.

Though Shayhiloosh knew that the tradition based culture that hir had been brought up in allowed for great beauty and wisdom, it did not always allow for adaptation to changes. Shayhiloosh knew that survival for hir people and planet would require growth to accommodate new concepts and ideas, instead of being mired in the sticky muck of habit and convention. Just because an idea was new did not mean that it should immediately be discarded. To Shayhiloosh that was the same as flinging away the good soil with the rocks. One might miss out on some extremely tasty part of the soil, just as hir people might miss something that they really would need, to deal with the changing situations of the interplanetary community.

Shayhiloosh mentally rustled hir branches and stretched out hir roots, and knew that one day on the Dreamplane would not solve all the problems for hir culture. But eventually s/he hoped to realize and dream better choices for the Arborians. S/he settled back to drowsing under the calm and silent stars, hope for the future and hirself settling in hir roots, trunk and limbs.

=='''Medical History'''==

Scar up right arm, from previous incedent at a doctors when i was 5 years old! Does not affect my work anymore! I take a monthly medicine which sorts it out. Have Mental Blocking ability that [[Jono]] has allows him to be able to deal with great pains for a long time. To find out more scroll down, to find the whole of Jono's history...

=='''Jono's Past (Prior to Starfleet) - Short Version'''==

Jono grew up in a relativley un-touched area of England. He grew up around his friends and family and had a relativley easy first 16 years. On his 5th birthday he had an accident which entailed him slicing his right arm and right arms nerves to the core. This has left him with a huge scar down his right arm. He has to take medicine still now when he his 27 to try and cure it.
<br> [[image:Stacademy.jpg|thumb|left|Starfleet Academy]]<br>
Because of this disability Jono has always had a great aspiration to be someone of power and someone with stregnth and intergrity. Because of this it lead him to a career in [[Starfleet]]

Jono has had one True love in his time and that was when he was 16, he was going to marry the woman he was in love with and she loved him back equally. Her parents didnt agree with this and for a measure to stop there love from ever happening they took her off planet. Jono has never seen her since. This was one of the '''Major''' issues that made Jono decide to join Starfleet.

He joined the Academy and did his 4 years and then got assigned to the [[USS Nimitz]].

=='''Jono's History - Long'er Version'''==

Jono was born in they year 2379 - in the month of March, the date was 2379.03.12.
[[image:USS_Lost_Island_Destroyed.jpg |thumb|right|''USS Lost Island'']]
Jono was born to a family in the town of Ilkeston, England. His mother was the Captain of the Starfleet ship - The USS Lost Island, a galaxy class starship. His father was a Starfleet Admiral. He is the oldest of three - There is himself (28), his brother Ian Janeway (26) and his Sister (23).

On Jono's fifth birthday he had an accident. He had to be rushed to the Hospital after he had almost drowned in the swimming pool his family had in their garden. While at the Hospital a fatal thing happened. A terrorist group called H4H (OR Humans for Humanity) blew up a certain ward within the hospital, which housed many cross-species humans and different species people. As this explosion happened Jono was being carted across the hospital and right along side that ward.

His arm was pierced with a long metal implement, along with several needles including some extremely harmful toxins. His right arm - because of the piercing began loosing a lot of blood, very quickly. He was transferred to a surgical room, and was operated on throughout the night. Because of the amount of toxins that had infected his body the Doctors had a hard time saving his arm. But finally after a 14 hour operation, his arm was free of most of the toxins except one which he would have to, take an anti-toxin injectant for the rest of his life to keep at bay from rising up and attacking his internal organs.

Because of the surgery and the piece of metal that had pierced his skin. He now had a scar down his right arm, from the shoulder blade right the way down the wrist. The scar however much Jono tried to stop it - continuously grew with the size of his arm.

Because of the injury to his body, he had to have help to train his mind to block out immense slots of pain. He went to a counsellor, who helped in training his mind against feeling pain, when he didn't want too. He could and still can raise a mental wall around his brain (Which blocks off all of his pain senses). When he is attacked or injured he can retrieve this wall and feel as little pain as he needs to, to get through what he is doing.

During Jono's years as a child he got into many fights over his arm and he usually came of the victor because of his pain therapy he could beat his victim up without feeling anything. One side effect to his therapy is that it some time took an effect on his friendships. As he was one of the first to jump into action, when his friends would just walk away from it and stay out of it.

Jono was one of the only survivors of the attack on that ward, and the only one who knew who did it. He was the only one who saw one of the more 'corrupted' H4H members set the detonation of. Although he never understood what he saw until a late age of 14 years old, when he re-visited the memory in a dream.

By some strange co-incidence the group H4H, found out that he had realised it was they in the attack searched for him. They asked him not to tell the authorities, as it wasn't their fault, the man who set the detonations off was a 'rogue' H4H agent. When Jono at the age of 13 was taken of the street by a H4H agent and told this - he refused to help them and ran back home. Since then every so often he would be hunted down by an Agent and had them turn violent on him.

During his days in StarFleet Academy he was attacked several times by H4H Agents warning him not to take it any further or there wouldn't have been a point in him surviving the attack.

At the age of 15, Janeway's father stepped down as Admiral and came to live in the family house with his family. His mother how ever stayed as Captain, so he still didn't get to see her much.

Jono made some really good friends as he Joined Ilkeston School, including a girl. This girl was named Rebecca Parker, she was his best friend for about 2 years and then he asked her out. They both really liked each other but when Becky's parents found out about her planning to marry Janeway they took her off planet to a nearing moon OR planet. Jono never found out, although he has been searching for her ever since.

He joined Star Fleet at the Age of 18 after Becky had been forced to leave, in an attempt to find her. He did the four year course but never took the final test, He left and Joined UFOP Academy, and did 4 years there training as a Tactical/Security Cadet.

Once training there, he returned to Star Fleet and they let him take the final test, at the age of 26 - nearing 27; Jono entered Holodeck 5 and took his final test under, Instructor, Lieutenant Azri Taba.

Jono passed the test with relative ease since Starfleet and UFOP had trained him in the Art of Tactical and Security for nearly 8 years. He was then commissioned to the USS Nimitz under Captain Devin Sash, and First Office Jeff Hyland.

=='''Assignment 1 - USS Nimitz'''==

[[image:Nimitz05.jpg|thumb|right]]

==='''''Mission 1'''''===

Janeways first assignment, after graduating freshly from the academy was assigned straight to the [[USS Nimitz]] under Captain [[Devan Sash]].

Jonos superior officer in security and tactical was Lieutenant [[Dru Tagon]]. In Jono's first mission, he was beamed down the the surface of an inhabited planet, which didnt have warp technology, with a small team including Lieutenant [[Dartena Bixx]], His FO Commander [[Jeff Hyland]], Dr. [[Jonas Lemar]] and some other members.... During this expedition they met with the planets heads, and Jono got kidnapped, by the religious leader of the planet. He managed to fight his way out of the situation and return to the USS Nimitz in time to help with the rest of the mission. Once this mission was over, Jono kepta relative low profile, and amoungst this time, they recieved a new FO Lieutenant Commander - [[Edward Wolfe]]. He liked this first officer more than the last one....

==='''''Mission 2'''''===

Mission - Stitch In Time.

Stardate - 2407.02.06

The Next mission (Stitch in Time) got Jono slightly more involved, As the fleet moved closer towards enemy lines, the [[USS Nimitz]] began preparing for there departure to earth. While this happened, Jono became the Acting Chief of Tactical and Security, on the [[USS Nimitz]] Since Lieutenant [[Dru Tagon]] Got a promotion to Strategic Ops....

Jono began organsising holodeck programs for training his officers so they would be ready for the upcoming mission.

Jono leaves [[Tallis Luxulyan]] Assisting Tac Chief in charge while he is on Earth with the away team including:

- Captain, [[Devan Sash]]

- First Officer, [[Edward Wolfe]]

- Acting SC/TAC, [[Jono Janeway]]

- Asst CMO, [[Jonas Lemar]]

- SO, [[Tarus Daban]]

- SO, [[Daigon Shimply]]

- Asst. CONN, [[Rizoru]] ([[Died]] during mission)

- Asst. CSO, [[John Linskens]]

- Science, [[Zachary Falthgood]]

- 3 - 4 [[Marines]]

On Earth [[Jono Janeway| Janeway]] and his team transported down into [[San Francisco]] and then went on into a secret science base, which is where Admaril [[Doenitz]] has hid one of his time portals. [[Falthgood]] destroys this time device but there is still one more.

[[image:Alcatraz.jpg|thumb|right|'''Alcatraz Prison, San Francisco, Earth''']]

''However'' During this time the USS [[Nimitz]] in orbit it taken over in a major space battle and its crew taken to [[Alcatraz]] for 3 years. On the anniversary of the 3rd year to date there is a major explosion in the middle of San Francisco killing millions of inocent people. This devestation was caused by the destroyation of the time device that [[Falthgood]] destroys.

Luckily the away team beams out and is then met by a [[Cecilia Bruce]], the away team by this time now also includes an Academy drop out, ([[John Linskens]] old Girlfriend) Miss [[Francesca dela Rosa]].

After spending a little time in Miss Bruce's apartment the away team his quickly taken by force back to the USS [[Nimitz]] via, transporter by two stow aways Crewman [[Debbie Weston]] and [[T'lexaxinith]]. The [[Nimitz]] had been mothballed and now the away team is trying to figure away how to get there crew back and then get back to their own time frame.

A plan is quickly formulated and then put into action. Just before anything happened a small Runabout detected the Nimitz's presence and came to investigate, after towing the runabout into the shuttlebay so they couldnt call for help. [[Janeway]], [[Tarus Daban]], [[Francesca dela Rosa]] and [[Diagon Shimply]] headed down to the shuttlebay to take there visitors into custody.

An almighty battle persued and Jono was badly injured although the rest of his team, wernt. They took the prisoners to two spare rooms and then [[Jonas Lemar]] came down to make sure they wouldnt wake up. As Jonas entered he noticed Jono's injuries and quickly rushed him up into Sickbay, where Jono wasnt allowed to leave. Not even to go an assist the rescue attempt of the prisoners on [[Alcatraz]].

Jono was abit deflated but determined to do something, in an essence he tricked the Emergency Holoprogram by switching it off and on, to get out of the Sickbay and then headed for the bridge. Once he arrived there it seemed the Hologram had contacted the [[Devin Sash| Captain]] about what had happened. Jono received an earful, but was then put too work.

Once the attack on [[Alcatraz]] had finished and the away team including - Lieutenant Commander [[Edward Wolfe]], Dr. [[Jonas Lemar]] and Security Officers - [[Tarus Daban]], [[Diagon Shimply]] and [[Francesca dela Rosa]]. Had successfully liberated the Nimitz crew from Alcatraz, Jono beamed all the crew up in several attempts using the transporters.

[[Devin Sash| Sash]], Engineer [[Debbie Weston]], Science officer [[Zachary Falthgood]] and Security Officer [[Tarus Daban]] were beamed down the Earth's moon's service to take out the time generator.

Meanwhile, [[Jono Janeway| Jono]] and the rest of the crew on the Nimitz held a flock of starships off, mostly due to Janeway's skills with aiming. Jono used manual aiming at all times. There wasnt a point at all where he switched it too automatic. After successfully defeating the ships, the [[USS Nimitz]] [Future Version] jumped back into the Present day (Three Years Prievious) to when the [[USS Nimitz]] [Present Version] was being attacked. Janeway rounded up the normal away team and told them to meet in transporter room 1. He and Lieutenant Commander [[Edward Wolfe| Wolfe]] headed down the transporter room 1, from the bridge.

Once there, they all beamed across to the [[USS Nimitz]] [Present Day Version] and aided the attack, the [[USS Nimitz]] [Future Version] rammed the massive Marine ship that had took the [[Nimitz]] the first way round.

The [[Nimitz]] then picked up Captain [[Devin Sash| Sash]] and the others who left, Minus [[Debbie Weston]] as she had been killed in helping them jump back three years also.

The [[Nimitz]] then began to head back for [[Geneva]] and the away teams was ordered get some R & R. Jono reported to Sickbay to be checked over but fell asleep before the Dr. could do anything. He dreamt about one of the oddest things, he dreamt about the past as the present and all of his old friends, and Becky.

He then took the rest of the day off.

The de-briefing was interesting as Jono received a promotion from Ensign (SG) to Lieutenant (JG). After all the promotions had been given out including the first officers rank being upped to Commander and Jonas's rank being upped to Lieutenant (SG), [[Edward Wolfe| Wolfe]] stood up and gave a report on [[Geneva's]] status.

Apparently one of the Counsellors they had to pick up [[Divon Lronen]] had been badly beaten....

==='''''Mission 3'''''===

Mission: A Taste of Hate

Stardate: 2407.02.08

Jono was called to Commander Wolfe's office where Wolfe told him that he would be keeping the 'Active Tactical/Security Chief' Role and he would be making him full chief until Jono had fully proven himself worthy of it to the Captain and himself. Jono agreed to do better in there objectives on Geneva.

Keen to show he was up for the task, Jono took liberty to contact [[Geneva's]] Security Chief several times, creating a communication flow between them. The Chief requested Jono come on board the Starbase when they arrive. It seemed that the Chief had some extra information that he didnt want to share over open channels, incase it was intercepted.

The Captain called Jono to his ready room, for a quicky chat on some of the requests Jono had put to the Security Chief of Geneva - Lieutenant Horatio Ortez. Sash wanted to know about the body guards Jono was suggesting for the Command staff.

After a small debate Jono made the Captain let himself have a bodyguard while on Geneva, Jono quickly contacted Wolfe and made sure he was fine with it also. While waiting to transfer to Geneva, Jono picked up a shuttle heading towards the Nimitz, he told Sash and then opened a communication channel to the Shuttle.

It was a new crewmember requesting persmission to dock. Still Jono had nobody in Security underneath him that he could un-load some of his work onto, As Luxulyan was in-capacitated.

Jono, Captain [[Devin Sash]], Lieutenant [[Zzt]], Ensign [[John Linskens]] and Dr. [[Jonas Lemar]] Headed over to the Starbase, where they were added to during the transport by Yeoman [[Ansia Rosen]]. Once on Geneva Jono headed to the Security Chiefs office to meet up with Lieutenant [[Horatio Ortez]]. They discussed some matters in hand.

Later on that day Jono was contacted by Commander [[Edward Wolfe]], and was requested to meet the man in an hour within the Assistant Security Chiefs Office on Geneva. It seemed the Commander had took over the investigation, which Jono was not opposed to as it would mean he would have a greater clearence than he espected.

''This is as far as Jonos History Goes.... Ill update it at next possible conveniance..''

=='''Janeway's Interests and Hobbies'''==
[[image:JanewaysSword.jpg|thumb|right|'''Janeways Personal Sword''']]
Jono prefers to spend his free time aboard the [[USS Nimitz]] planning stategies or holodeck programs to futher his security teams into being one of the most trained forces in the [[52nd Fleet]].

He has a flair for hand to hand combat with swords and is a master swords man. He enjoys spending time on the holodeck fighting, and training in the art of Melee Weaponary.

Although Jono doesnt have any real opponents that he can strive to beat on the Nimitz, he uses the holodeck to simulate battles of history and he takes part in them.

Jono commits himself to being a better officer and one day to become a CO.

*I would just like to point out that this Infobox was intended for ''Commanding Officers'' (rank of Captain and above) and not for usual staff of ''Commanding Division'' ("the red collars"), as the latter one is a division same as others. This Infobox is to visually suggest that the player has some significant authority in the game and his/her decisions have executive power, what may not be known by the new players, or outside visitors to our Wiki. This is, of course, my own view on the subject so your input is more than welcome. [[User:George|George]] 18:50, 26 February 2006 (EST)

*In Star Trek: Freedom the FO is secondary to the captain and aids in decision making both in and out of game for the duty station. It is not unusual for an FO to completely run a duty station for a significant length of time, believe me, I know that one. I'm more of a partner to my CO than an added appendage. FOs and COs are the significant command players on duty stations doing most of the administrative work and coordinating on most of the key decisions. While the COs final decision is the one that is followed, most captains work with their FOs and come to an agreed upon decision. In other words, FOs do have some significant authority in the game and his/her decisions have executive power. -- [[User:JPB|JPB]]

Starbase

2012-11-22T09:38:24Z

MediaWiki spam cleanup: Reverting to last revision not containing links to *.com

A starbase is a facility where starships are maintained and resupplied, and crews can relax. A starbase can be a research station, a military base, a place for interstellar trade or a seat of administration. Some starbases are also involved in the construction of starships. Starbases offer various services to vehicles, from medical facilities to full-fledged spacedocks capable of refitting a starship.

Starbases can be partially or completely located on a planet surface, or be limited to strictly spaceborne installations. Some are a combination of a ground-based facility with orbital components.

The two starbases attached to the [[52nd Fleet]] are [[Starbase Geneva]] and [[Spacedock Phoenix]].

== Motto ==

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

== Missions ==

=== Interlude ===
'''''Stardate 2407.01.20'''''. The ''USS Paladin'' is en-route to the Romulan Neutral Zone to guard against a possible Romulan invasion while the Federation undergoes a [[Federation Civil War|Civil War]]. The ship takes on new crew members while the rest of the crew rests

=== 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.

=== New Beginnings ===
'''''Stardate 2407.04.02'''''. First Officer [[Calvin Capps]] and Second Officer [[Michael Ian O'Connor]] are injured and are no longer able to hold their posts on the ''Paladin''. The ''USS Paladin'' arrives at [[Starbase Geneva (NCC-85745)|Starbase Geneva]]. The crew is granted shore leave while the ship re-supplies.

The Horta Report

2012-11-22T09:30:14Z

MediaWiki spam cleanup: Reverting to last revision not containing links to www.startrekfreedom.com

Put together by [[herbalsheila]] and [[User: dragonman-clone |dragonman-clone]].

== Horta Basics ==
[[Image:horta2.jpg|thumb|right|Horta]]The Horta (Hortensia acidophlangia) species are indigenous to Janus VI. They are one of a very few known silicon based life forms [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_biochemistry]] ever discovered. They were discovered by the human (Homo sapiens) mining colony on Janus when the miners inadvertantly broke into the Horta's hatchery. See [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Devil_in_the_Dark]] for more on how the Horta species was discovered and found to be peaceful and sentient. They consume rock, minerals, and metallic ores by liquifying it with a very strong highly corrosive acid exuded from their undersides and then swiftly ingesting the resulting mixture. The acid, upon exposure to air oxidizes harmlessly and within a few minutes is neutralized. In feeding, they create tunnels and other underground cave-like structures and are the greatest natural geologists and miners in the known universe.

== Life as a Young Horta ==
[[Image:horta3.jpg|thumb|left|Horta nodules]]Hortas are birthed out of [[silicon nodules]] or eggs. They hatch without any armor and are still soft and exude acid uncontrollably. They are born hungry and begin tunneling and feeding almost immediately and within a week or so their first protective armor shell has formed. They vary about 1/2 to 1 foot across in size and are round or ovoid when first hatched. Often their first meal is whatever is left of their silicon egg shell. As they grow their first armor shell, they gain control over their ability to exude acid to which they themselves are immune.

Dancing or twirling is one behavior that has been observed in young Horta to express joy and playfulness. This behavior is most often exhibited after they have hardened their first shell of armor and have gained basic control over exuding acid. After their first few weeks of life most Horta are competitive to some degree and enjoy racing games through their caves and existing tunnels.

They are faster when smaller and lighter. As they age and become larger and heavier their armor grows thicker, and they gradually lose the ablity to be as quick. Young Hortas have been clocked at moving up to 7 miles per hour. It is presently unknown what might be its top speed. They can move quickly and quietly when needful even as adults.

== Life as an Adult Horta ==
[[Image:horta1.jpg|thumb|right|An adult Horta]]A Horta's full size is about 5 to 7 feet long. They are about 3 feet wide and about 2 to 2 and 1/2 feet high and can vary widely in color depending on diet. They can weigh up to 500 pounds due to their heavy outside armor. At this time they have been clocked up to 5.5 miles per hour when full grown with their heavier well developed adult armor. A Horta looks like a large flattish grouping of lumpy molten rock. They have hair-like [[phalanges]] on their undersides which serve the dual purpose of sweeping up rock dust and other pebbles for ingestion and to control the acid and rock mixture as they feed. It is unknown at this time how long a Horta can live, but current estimates are at least 300 years.

Each Horta has one limb or tentacle that grows amongst its [[phalanges]], usually on or close to one end of their oblong bodies on the underside. It is prehensile and both allows them to grasp objects and to touch each other for purposes of relating and communication and is much like the tails on some of Earth's primates. An adult's appendage can grow up to three feet but it is considered among the Horta culture to be rude to drag their appendage on the ground after them. They consider it better manners to keep it coiled and tucked up neatly underneath their bodies and used when neccessary for specific tasks.

== Horta's Senses ==
Hortas have sensory input in several ways. One is by detecting vibrations that others send out from talking, walking or running, heartbeat, breathing and general movement. Thus a Horta can detect rocks falling in an underground cave twenty feet below, someone running away on the other side of a hill out of human optical sight, a herd of animals stampeding two hundred miles away, or the muted roar of an underground river. This type of passive sonar is akin to the human ability to hear.

On earth, sharks and many kinds of fish have special sensory organs that can sense electrical impulses. A Horta can see much the same way only much more refined. This gives them the ability to think very quickly and with a superfast brain a Horta can actually see the electrical impulses in living things from humanoids down to plants, not to mention all the electical impulses in a starship or starbase. This would mean that a Horta could see the impulses and be mentally quick enough to anticipate movements, giving it a slight look into [[Image:horta4.jpg|thumb|left|Horta mother mind-melding with Spock]]the 'future', and allowing it to dodge before anyone pulls the trigger of a phaser, or get out of the way of a thrown object. This electrical sensitvity is extended all over the body, meaning that when the pehensile phalange is raised up to a control pannel, the Horta would still be able to see through the sensory input from the appendage itself. A ship's walls or computer consoles would show up as strong fluxes of electrical energy where most creatures that are bio-chemically electrical in function show up as more fragile and dimmer shapes, but up close as sparkling shaped spiderey like webs. This type of electrical impulse detection is akin to the human ability to see, but in the Hortas it also allows them the ability to communicate and speak to each other by touch via electrical impulse exchange.

Another way that Hortas have sensory input is by taste. Most Hortas can detect any type of rock, mineral, or metallic ore by taste, just as humans can tell which food they are eating by taste if blinfolded. This makes Hortas living soil analysis machines. A Horta might then be helpful in detecting extraneous chemicals which might poison a carbon based life form, but not necessarily a silicon based life form. In the exploration of space, however, it might be wise to be cautious before allowing a curious Horta to ingest unknown substances as what might poison a Horta in deep space is still unknown at this time.

== Hortan Tradition and Culture ==
Hortas think of most humanoids as tall graceful stalks, and often in their culture refer to them as such. They live peacefully in groups and get along well with little violence, although the children can often act up when playing like many young of humanoid species.

The Hortas have a rich and varied musical and lingusitic tradition, much of which is based in a rock, mineral and metal context. Rythm, tone and word images of long duration are passed on from generation to generation, similiar to the stories of ancient Irish, Scottish and Welsh cultures millenia ago on Earth as well as highly developed philosphical and religious beliefs and practices that have not been yet recorded at this time.

Not much is known about mating selection or mating practices, although it has been observed that a favorite line of male Hortas translates as “From under what rock did you crawl out?"
