Editing Stanford A. Evers (section)

==Fifth Assignment: USS Venture NCC-77346==

Evers was assigned to the USS Venture as its Chief Operations Officer and Second Officer.

At the end of his tour on the Venture, Evers was promoted to Commander and offered the first officers position aboard the USS Kinkaid.

The Venture again reunited Evers with his old friend Roderick McDermott and as in the past they served together to great affect. The Venture mission profile was primarily concerned with science and exploration. During his time aboard, the Venture discovered and studied a total of seven black holes located at the center of the giant Bentarra Nebula and observed the Alpha Hydri seven Super Nova.

As one might expect however a Galaxy class vessel could not always be expected to remain on a mission of exploration and the Venture was no different being called to mediate various disputes including a border clash between the Romulan and Klingon Empires.

During this dispute the Romulans characteristically resorted to treachery and in a sneak attack badly damaged the Venture and critically injuring Captain Sandusky. When McDermott took command, Evers acted as his First Officer and in a fourteen hour long running battle destroyed the Romulan D’Deridex class Warbird responsible for the attack.

While the mission was considered a failure from the point that a peaceful resolution could not be found, Evers was awarded a Captains Commendation for his actions during the battle and promoted to Commander and offered the First Officers slot on the USS Kinkaid.
