On stardate 2407.06.25 Ahmed was advised by Captain Susan Rivers that they had finally received their orders to join the remainder of [[Task Force 19]] assembling at [[Tellar]]. The Champlain had been completely overhauled and the ship and her crew were as ready as they could possibly be for the final battle against Doenitz forces guarding sector 001

On Stardate: 2407.07.03 Ahmed and the entire Command Staff of the USS Champlain were briefed on the plans to Attack Sector 001 and [[Earth]] in a final bid to bring an end to the bloody and tenacious Federation Civil War. This [[Task Force Nineteen Briefing|Briefing]] was conducted by Rear Admiral Sevant, Former captain of the [[USS Boudicca]] and the Task Force Commander of [[Task Force 19]], ordered to breach the famous [[Mars Defense Perimeter]] designed to hold of a [[Borg]] Invasion.

Even as the crew of the Champlain begin gearing for the coming battle, Hundreds of [[Starship|ships]] were converging at Tellar in preparation for the massive offensive.

The assignment given to the Champlain was simple in concept but exceptionally complex in practice. The task force was broken into four smaller battle groups and the remaining bulk of the taskforce, consisting of the [[USS Boudicca]] (commanding group B), the [[USS Champlain]] (commanding group C), the [[USS Nimitz]] (commanding Group A), The [[USS Hades]] (commanding group D). The Boudicca was tasked to breach the MDF and assault and capture [[Starbase Valhalla]] in an attempt to shut down the MDF and allow the remainder of Task Force 19 to bypass the MDF without further losses. The USS Champlain, Hades, and Nimitz were ordered to support the operation of the Boudicca, with the Champlain being specifically tasked with screening the Boudicca and her Battlegroup from enemy raiders.

The basic flow of the battle is listed here:
