== Fleet Update and Missions ==

*'''USS Spectre'''  '''''Mission: The Gates of Prometheus''''' [[Image:USS Spectre.jpg|left|thumb|The [[USS Spectre]]: A true stealth ship with a cloak]]
Currently docked at Starbase 621, the [[USS Spectre]] has been ordered by Fleet Command to a state of urgent mission readiness. All leave has been duly cancelled pending departure for the Zeta Gellis Cluster (the outermost marker of the subspace river) for a possible encounter with a familiar and deadly foe. Under strict orders not to discuss their mission specifics from Fleet Command itself, rumours are now circulating amongst the crew of a possible [[Borg]] involvement to this mission. Consequently, tension is high and understandably so. What will the [[USS Spectre|Spectre]] crew find upon their arrival? Will it be all that they fear or will it all just prove to be rumour after all? Stay tuned....



*'''USS Rosenante''' '''''Mission: Furlough'''''[[Image: Rosenante-Alt-3up.jpg|thumb|right|[[USS Rosenante]] carries the new Stealth Drive technology]]

After the crew's exciting mission deep in Orion Space, the [[USS Rosenante]] has returned to dry dock to for repairs and to allow the crew to let their hair down for some R&R to improve morale. During this time the ship received a new but already well known First Officer in Lt. Commander [[USS Rosenante|Jennifer Caskie]], a new Third Officer and Chief Counselor Lt. [[USS Rosenante|Jon Nayati]] and a new Chief of Operations Lt [[USS Rosenante|Tom Jackson]]. Meanwhile a party is taking place on the holodeck for the lower level officers and enlisted crew.  It's a backyard barbecue and pool party.  Will the Vulcans unbend enough to dance a little? Can true love be found in a holodeck simulation? No one knows what the future will bring!




*'''USS Boudicca''' '''''Mission: The Loudest Silence''''' [[Image:Boudicca2.jpg|thumb|left|[[USS Boudicca]], known as a warrior ship]]

The [[USS Boudicca]] was cruising through space on a routine exploratory patrol.  Captain [[Susan Rivers]] was quarantined in her quarters, struck by a persistent case of Arcturan Flu, and so the First Officer, Commander [[USS Boudicca|Aleksander Stolev]], was in temporary command.  His first extended foray in the command chair was proving quite uneventful until a mysterious call came in from HQ.  A freighter, carrying badly needed and perishable medical supplies, was overdue for delivery at a colony whose population was being decimated by a viral epidemic, and the [[USS Boudicca|Boudicca]], being the nearest ship to her last known flight path, was ordered to investigate.  They quickly located the missing freighter adrift in space, with no obvious signs of damage, and no life signs aboard.  Two life boats had been jettisoned, and no trace of the crew could be found.  An away team has beamed aboard the freighter to investigate.  What will they find?  What happened to the crew of the freighter?  Will they be able to get the medical supplies to their destination in time?  Stay tuned to find out!


*'''USS Mithrandir''' '''''Mission:'''''[[Image:MithrandirA.jpg|thumb|right|[[USS Mithrandir]]: Nova class]]

The [[Mithrandir]] was currently enroute to [[New Eden]] to escort a fleet of refugee ships that were going to colonize a new planet. New Eden was being torn apart by its own moon, whose orbit was decaying. The ship had been ordered to escort the new colonists to [[Gamma Hygachi Orestes]]. The system was unpopulated and similar enough to New Eden that colonizing would be easier. The only issue was that it was only two light years from the Romulan Neutral Zone. The crew's only expected issue was the [[Falengi Expanse]], which lay in the most direct path to the colonists' new home. The Mithrandir's sensors would be able to safely navigate the Expanse allowing the fleet to shave off considerable time. But it was still a treacherous journey and it was just beginning. The fleet itself was a collection of older freighters and they would only be able to travel at Warp Four. After three months of training, the Mithrandir and her crew were ready to serve. While they did not expect any serious issues, one could never take for granted the ease that a particular mission presented itself.



*'''USS Hades''' '''''Mission:Tribuo Senatus''''' [[Image:Prometheus_mutivector.jpg|thumb|left|[[USS Hades]]: Tri-vector Prometheus class ship.]]
The crew is finishing up their mind whirling mission to Romulus. Captain Devon Sash has awakened from his coma and morale among the crew has noticeably improved. Now the [[USS Hades]] is about to stop at Geneva and pick up some new crew, notably Ensigns Lo'ren T'Vof, Bolan Tavik, and Eoin Mac Liam.  A quick stop at Earth to pick up Eva Straton is in order to help to add another member of the crew. They are all looking forward to getting on board the Hades with great excitement. What will Yeoman Calley McDevish do when she finds herself facing Eoin leaving the station?
