In charge of the Djörn Major Facility for over twenty years was Administrator [[Hyrim Kuln]] who had built his career and a major part of his life around the station, making it one of the most successful maximum security penal institutions in the UFP Penal system. Before his take-over the facility was known as one of the most violent of Federation penal facilities, with inmate murders, riots an escapes being an almost every day occurrence. With the previous three Administrators guilty of embezzling funds from the stations operational budget, Djörn Major XJ-003 was on the verge of bankruptcy and collapse when Kuln took command. It took Kuln less than three months to turn the facility around and in the twenty years since the facility has maintained a spotless record.

==The Murder of Major Julian Wells:==


On Stardate 2407.03.07 Bruce was involved in an unsanctioned expedition to rescue Lt(jg) [[Dru Tagon]] from imprisonment and eventual execution at the Prison facility of Djörn Major.


Despite the odds, the extraction team led by Captain [[Devan Sash]] and Lt. Commander [[Jonas Lemar]], succeeded in infiltrating the maximum security section of the station and fought the Starfleet marine contingent under the command of Major Julian Wells to an uneasy stalemate.
The enigmatic [[Sirius Krell]] served as Kuln's Assistant Administrator and as his right hand. Among his many innovations during his time on Djörn Major was a highly trained Tactical Security Team which far exceeded anything offered by standard station security personnel. Krell also streamlined station operations and instituted numerous changes that increased station operational efficiency while decreasing operational costs. Krell served aboard Djörn Major for nearly six years.


At that point Captain Sash ordered [[Cecilia Bruce]] to enter into negotiations with Major Wells and she was able to appeal to the Major’s sense of honor resulting in a ceasefire agreed to both by him and Captain Sash.
[[image:brokas1.jpg|thumb|left|'''Head Gaolor [[Darnar Brokas]]''']]


During the ceasefire the team was able to free Tagon from his cell and the only moment of tension occurred when Wells and his Marine moved to prevent the extraction team from moving Tagon out of the vicinity of the maximum security cell block. Wells ordered the move however to save the life of Tagon who was wearing and explosive collar which would detonate upon him being removed from the immediate vicinity.


As such Wells had not violated the provisions of the ceasefire as he had stated from the outset that as long as the prisoners life (Tagon) was not endangered he and his men would not interfere.


Captain Sash used the time to discover a way to defeat the explosive collar and with that done ordered a STS transport right out from underneath Major Wells’ nose.


It was at this precise moment that Ensign(jg) [[Agent Thom Hania|Thom Hania]] threw an explosive charge at Wells and his marines at the moment of beam out.

In time the posting became permanent. Brokas worked tirelessly to control the prison population, sometimes resorting to violence and subterfuge. He was charged on several occasions with improper conduct, although none of the charges were ever substantiated.


Witnesses to this action were Ensign(sg) Cecilia Bruce, Ensign(jg) Raymond Kean and Security Crewman Tek Gizell.
==Telepathic Mayhem:==


==The Post:==
During the trip to Djörn Major a number of unforeseen events occurred that became a threat to the success of the mission before it had even really started. [[Divon Lronen]], the Nimitz ships Counselor collapsed into unconsciousness without apparent reason within hours of the rendezvous with the Hegh’delar. He remained in a coma for the rest of the mission despite the best efforts of Doctor [[Jonas Lemar]] and the Nimitz’ Assistant Counselor, [[Cecilia Bruce]].


From: Jimmie McCrary <jimrpg59@yahoo.com>
Shortly after this incident Ensign(jg) [[Harry Samuel Doorman|Harry Doorman]] assaulted without  warning, Ensign(sg) [[Eric McDermott]]. In a subsequent conversation with Counselor Bruce after the incident Doorman appeared confused and even went so far as to state that McDermott had forced Doorman to attack him. Later that evening Doorman attempted suicide by trying to blow himself out of an airlock.


To: USS Nimitz <nimitz-rpg@startrekfreedom.com>
The final incident occurred during the second day aboard the Hegh’delar during a mission briefing. The senior tactical officer aboard, Ensign(sg) McDermott appeared distracted and confused and the plan he submitted for the rescue action was unusually brief and his explanations for his plan was both terse and hostile. The meeting eventually devolved into a bitter confrontation between McDermott and Ensign(jg) Thom Hania.  


Subject: NIMITZMS: ATAC/SEC Ensign Thom Hania, Day 3, 0817
In a later confrontation with Captain [[Devan Sash]], McDermott became even more uncharacteristically confrontational and emotional and nearly attacked his own Captain. It soon became obvious that McDermott was suffering from great duress and was only partially aware of his surroundings.


Date: Sunday, March 04, 2007 6:50:01 PM
It was at this point that Ensign Bruce intervened and explained to the Captain that McDermott was part Betazoid and was suffering from some kind of Telepathic overload. Bruce had been keeping McDermott’s true nature a secret, as even he was not aware of his own heritage and she had yet to decide how to break the news to him.


It was only through later investigation by Bruce, that proved that the incidents were caused by Lt(jg). Lronen. Lronen, had been seriously affected by a previous telepathic incident in which his own mind had been overwhelmed and was in turn inadvertently affecting everyone else on board the Hegh’delar, including the unsuspecting Doorman and the untrained McDermott.


NRPG
Bruce who suspected the problem that Lronen was having was unaffected.
I just wanted to end this part of the adventure with a Big Bad Bang. I sent this out before but somehow, it got lost in transit, so I’m sending it out again.


Jim
The end result was that Lronen and Doorman spent the rest of the mission in the Hegh’delar’s small sickbay and McDermott was treated with telepathic inhibiting drugs to allow him to think clearly. McDermott was further declared unfit to participate in the extraction mission by Captain Sash and was ordered to remain aboard the Hegh’delar.


==The Rescue:==


RPG:
The rescue team was made up of two elements; the first led be Captain [[Devan Sash]] was made up of the majority of the Nimitz Personnel with the exception of Lt. Commander. [[Jonas Lemar]], Ensign(sg). [[Eric McDermott]], Ensign(jg). Tral and Ensign(jg). Lawrence Drake.
Mission: For a Friend
Day 3
Stardate: 2407.03.09


(Djorn Major-XJ-003 - Isolation Block – ATAC/SEC Ensign Thom Hania (jg) - 0817)
Sash’s team infiltrated the station with extensive help from Ensign(sg). [[Ahmed Ibn Salid]]. The Nimitz’ Chief Engineer came up with a number of ideas included a cloaking armored EVA suit, modified from the available Klingon EVA suits, attuned to the Hegh’delar’s cloaking device; A series of portable sensor ghost generators, and a mobile handheld command net interdiction device which later allowed the crew limited access to the station’s main computer systems. Unfortunately despite successful tests of the stealth suits aboard the Hegh’delar, the stealth features mysteriously failed once aboard the station.


Thom had watched the events transpiring around him with growing consternation and mounting fury.
The Nimitz Assistant Counselor [[Cecilia Bruce]] also came into her own during the course of the operation as she was called upon on numerous occasions to use her skills to detect approaching station security personnel and on one occasions rendered an entire security detail unconscious without a shot being fired by the two opposing forces. Bruce also lent some less obvious support by keeping in touch with Ensign(sg). Eric McDermott who was still aboard the Hegh’delar, telepathically, allowing Captain Sash to stay abreast of what was happening aboard the Klingon vessel without having to communicate directly with it.


Though Major Wells had stood his NCOS down for the moment, and Bruce had pronounced him an ‘honorable man,’ Thom did not see him that way at all. ~Wells was up to something big time, Great Spirit, something we’re not going to like at all.~
The captain’s team using stealth and speed was successful in capturing the stations computer core and from there the team was able to wreck havoc on the facility. Ensign Salid worked in concert with Ensign(sg) Tom Jackson to disable the stations shields and weapons. Salid also created a powerful plasma surge through the tactical systems. The end result was the unexpected explosion of the Station’s Ventral Shield Generator, which was responsible for extensive damage to the station and the deaths of hundreds of station personnel including the stations Engineering Chief.


Once he had done that, the stalwart marine major had done absolutely nothing to assist CEO Salid’s frantic efforts to bring the security field imprisoning Dru Tagon down. While Wells’ lack of assistance seemed to speak of neutrality, his body posture, mask-like features, focused and dilated pupils and his neuro-linguistic programmed eye movements spoke volumes to Thom.
The second team was made up of the Klingon crew of the Hegh’delar led by the Nimitz’ Second Officer, Lt. Commander. [[Jonas Lemar]]. Despite heavy opposition Lemar and his team were able to fight there way to the Maximum Security Detention Area where Lt. Tagon was being held and link up with Captain Sash’s team.


Wells’ whole attitude seemed one of passive aggressive condescension. ~He’s stalling, waiting for more troops probably, while we’re all friendly and trusting, with our collective attention focused on freeing Dru Tagon. Except for the Klingons, we are all in close firing range of him and his troops. Big mistake - for us, but fatal for him. If this gets dicey, I’m going to kill him quick, taking as many Marines as I can with him.~
In the confrontation with the Starfleet Marine Detachment led by Major Julian Wells, Ensign Bruce was able to negotiate a ceasefire in order to prevent any further casualties to both sides. Wells heavily outnumbered and in danger of being overwhelmed, agreed in order to buy time for more station security to arrive on the scene in order to tip the balance in his favor. As part of the agreement Wells agreed not to interfere with Sash or his team unless they endangered the life of Lt. Tagon.


So focused were the Marines on Sash and the others, no one seemed to notice the small but exceedingly powerful plastique ordinance still hidden in his closed right hand. With flawless and unnoticed ease, Thom quickly calculated the placement of the grenade behind Wells’ back, far enough to kill him.  It would screw up his NCOs without endangering either the Away Team or killing the Klingon B’Harniah in the process. Cybernetically, Thom opened a passive audio channel between the concealed female Klingon’s com-badge and his EVA suit. Hearing her move into action would signal the incoming presence of additional prison staff and sign Wells’ instant death warrant.
Part of the security to prevent Tagon’s escape was an explosive collar that would detonate if he were moved too far away from its automated triggering device. Captain Sash discovered a way to disable the device and to the surprise of Wells and his detachment, the rescue team was beamed away with the newly liberated Lt. Dru Tagon.


Thom was relieved to hear only pained silence on B’Harniah’s part, indicating that all was quiet there. However he was not relieved to hear her stifled, but labored, breathing. ~Brave fool, you should’ve accepted my offer of Meds, baby. Your warrior’s pride is going send you to Sto’vo’kor, but then that’s where you want to go isn’t it B’Harniah? I hadn’t lied when I told you I saw Sto’vo’kor in your eyes, brave, foolish B’Harniah.~
==The Death of Major Julian Wells:==


When Dru Tagon’s security field came down, and Salid and Sash talked to the imprisoned Brickar, strange, and even inexplicable, things happened in rapid order. Wells ordered the Away Team to stand down and depart, without the imprisoned Brickar. Thom had almost thrown down on Wells’ troops then, but hadn’t because he actually allowed Sash and Salid to enter Tagon’s cell and take tricorder readings on the Brickar’s explosive collar. ~More delaying tactics, no doubt. Wells will do anything to keep us here long enough for reinforcements to catch us flat footed.~
Despite the odds against them, the extraction team led by Captain [[Devan Sash]] and Lt. Commander [[Jonas Lemar]], had succeeded in infiltrating the maximum security section of the station and rescued Lt. Dru Tagon after having fought the marine detachment of Major Julian Wells to an uneasy stalemate.


Over his com-system, Thom heard Wells refuse to give Sash and Salid the means of disabling Tagon’s explosive collar. ~All the better to keep us here Wells, until it is much too late. Nothing incoming from the wounded and rapidly weakening B’Harniah. Good.~
It was at that point Captain Sash ordered Ensign(sg). [[Cecilia Bruce]] to enter into negotiations with Major Wells and she was able to appeal to the Major’s sense of honor resulting in a ceasefire agreed to both by him and Captain Sash. While it was obvious that the Major had an ulterior motive to agreeing to the ceasefire, specifically the probability that more reinforcements would arrive to assist him, he agreed to terms.


At that same time Hania also heard, over the coded, scrambled com link system, that Sash wanted STS transport in the next few seconds. ~Obviously between the two of them, they had somehow found a way of moving the Brickar without detonating the explosive collar around his neck. ~Things are going to be heating up fast now, Great Spirit. Protect us all now, please Great One. The Shot is about be released, Great Spirit.~
During the ceasefire the team was able to free Tagon from his cell and the only moment of tension occurred when Wells and his Marines moved to prevent the extraction team from moving Tagon out of the vicinity of the maximum security cell block. Wells ordered the move however to save the life of Tagon who was wearing and explosive collar which would detonate upon him being removed from the immediate vicinity.


Over his com-link, Thom heard two separate, but dramatic things happen almost simultaneously; Sash telling Wells that he would be leaving, but taking the Brickar with him and B’Harniah roaring about incoming Marines. ~Wells had been playing us for patsies. ~
As such Wells had not violated the provisions of the ceasefire as he had stated from the outset that as long as the prisoners life (Tagon) was not endangered he and his men would not interfere.  


Thom felt the first tingling of Salid’s STS beaming out.
Captain Sash used the time to discover a way to defeat the explosive collar and with that done ordered a STS transport right out from underneath Major Wells’ nose.


~ Release the Shot, Hania.~ The words seem to come from the Great Spirit Itself.
It was at this precise moment that a member of the rescue team threw an explosive charge at Wells and his marines at the moment of beam out.  


Even as he beamed out Thom hurled his concealed plastique grenade to the ceiling, which was about 12.7 feet above Major Wells’ lying, conniving head. Thom heard the plastique mass impact and stick there. He watch with great mirth as Wells’ surprised Marine’s faces gaped at the sudden realization that their antagonists were now suddenly beaming away - all the while never realizing that a second and more cataclysmic surprise was about to befall them.  
Witnesses to this action were Ensign(sg) Cecilia Bruce, Ensign(jg) Raymond Kean and Security Crewman Tek Gizell.


As he beamed away, Thom thought he heard mass phaser fire from B’Harniah’s last location, combined with the downward detonation of the plastique grenade he had just thrown above Wells’ conceited head eleven seconds earlier.
After successfully escaping from Djörn Major, Bruce informed Captain Sash who had not witnessed the incident, of the action so that he could take formal action against guilty officer. During the subsequent interview, the officer freely admitted to taking the action and did not seem to believe that he had done anything wrong at all.


He, the Nimitz Team, Lemar and all his Klingons were beamed away a microsecond before his thrown grenade’s concussive power filled the immediate area with instant, immediate and final death.
It was at that point that accused officer insinuated that Bruce had betrayed him and then without further warning, collapsed and died, toxicology tests indicate poisoning as the cause of death.


(Reply None)
Initial investigation of the death has been ruled by the Investigating Officer as a suicide. The further investigation continues at this time.

==Initial Legal Brief:==
Subsequent intelligence intercepts indicate that Major Julian Wells was killed as a result of this act. As a result this incident is classified as a premeditated murder, as well as a direct violation of Starfleet Special Order Number Two.

==IKS Hegh'delar vs The USS Vindicator:==


After successfully escaping from Djörn Major, Bruce informed Captain Sash who had not witnessed the incident, of Hania’s actions so that he could take formal action against Hania. During the subsequent interview, Hania freely admitted taking the action and did not seem to believe that he had done anything wrong at all.
Ensign(sg). [[Eric McDermott]], Ensign(jg) Tral and Ensign(jg). Lawrence Drake remained on board the IKS Hegh’delar while Captain [[Devan Sash]] and Lt. Commander [[Jonas Lemar]] led the away teams on Djörn Major. This turned out to be an unparalleled opportunity for these young officers as during the course of the mission, the Defiant Class Starship, USS Vindicator discovered the cloaked Hegh’delar in close proximity to the station. In the resultant clash, McDermott took command of the Hegh'delar and working together the three young officers fought their first starship engagement.


It was at that point that Hania accused Bruce of betraying him and then without further warning, collapsed and died, toxicology tests indicate poisoning as the cause of death.
Despite being overmatched, the trio succeeded in leading the USS Vindicator in a nearly forty-five minute long hit and run battle which eventually resulted in the crippling of the Vindicator and the death of her Captain along with nearly half of her crew. In the climax of the battle McDermott made use of a modified version of the ‘[[Picard Maneuver]]’, which would later come to be called [[McDermott's Sidestep]]. After the Vindicator was disabled the Hegh'delar was able to pick up the rescue team and Lt. Tagon without further incident and withdraw from the system.


Later investigation of the death of [[Agent Thom Hania|Thom Hania]] has been ruled by Starfleet Investigators to be a suicide.
==52nd Fleet Intelligence Update:==


==Investigation Report:==
With the successful rescue of Lt. Dru Tagon the political and military repercussions of the Djörn Major incident were widespread. With the apparent deaths of Administrator Kuln and Assistant Administrator Krell as well as the death of Starfleet Captain Laura Bentsen, officials in the Doenitz regime were looking for a scapegoat.


===[[Final Report: 52-2407-157-Hania]].===
The senior Doenitz officer on the scene, a Captain Harl Whorlet of the USS Nightshade arrested the only remaining Djörn Major Officer, [[Darnar Brokas]] on Stardate 2407.03.10 on the charges of Treason and obstructing an investigation. Whorlet was convinced that Brokas was an accomplice to the team that freed Dru Tagon, and that he was responsible for wiping the facilities computer logs and murdering the Administrator and Assistant Administrator, as well as wiping his own memory.  


(Click above link to access Brief)
On Stardate 2407.03.11 a Special Tribunal found Brokas innocent of the charges of treason and obstruction, although they did find him guilty of gross incompetence and he was banned from again working in the Federation Penal System. While it is not clear how Brokas avoided being found guilty of all charges, it can be speculated that the former Head Gaolor had some means of influence that allowed him to escape virtually unscathed.


==Intelligence Update:==
After the trial Darnar Brokas disappeared and his current whereabouts are unknown.
 
Subsequent intelligence intercepts indicate that Major Julian Wells was killed as a result of this act. As a result this incident is classified as a premeditated murder, as well as a direct violation of Starfleet Special Order Number Two.


While Administrator [[Hyrim Kuln]] and his Assistant [[Sirius Krell]] have been presumed dead by 'official' Federation Investigators, recent evidence points to the possibility that the two escaped through some as yet unknown means. Their current location and status remains unknown at this time.

For a Friend:[edit]

Djorn Major XJ-003

On Stardate 2407.03.04 Captain Devan Sash briefed select members of his crew of the impending execution of Lt. Dru Tagon, a long time crewmember of the USS Nimitz. Tagon had been captured during a battle with Doenitz forces and after a show trial he was sentenced to death.

Admiral Robert LoDona and the 52nd Fleet command made the decision that a rescue operation would be too risky and therefore could not be attempted. With fleet assets spread out over a wide area and in the aftermath of several extremely savage battles, LoDona was unwilling to risk the Nimitz and her crew in such an operation. Captain Sash and his team however had other plans.

Borrowing a Klingon B’rel class Bird-of-Prey, the IKS Hegh’delar, the team managed to infiltrate Doenitz controlled space under cloak and approached the prison facility of Djorn Major XJ-003 undetected. Their mission was to infiltrate the station, penetrate it's security, and then rescue Lt. Dru Tagon.

The following Nimitz crewmembers participated in this unsanctioned mission:

Captain Devan Sash

Lt. Tarus Daban

Lt(jg). Divon Lronen

Ensign(sg) Ahmed Ibn Salid

Ensign(sg) Cecilia Bruce

Ensign(sg) Eric McDermott

Ensign(jg) Thom Hania

Crewman 1st Class Tek Gizell

Djörn Major XJ-003 Command Personnel:[edit]

Administrator Hyrim Kuln



In charge of the Djörn Major Facility for over twenty years was Administrator Hyrim Kuln who had built his career and a major part of his life around the station, making it one of the most successful maximum security penal institutions in the UFP Penal system. Before his take-over the facility was known as one of the most violent of Federation penal facilities, with inmate murders, riots an escapes being an almost every day occurrence. With the previous three Administrators guilty of embezzling funds from the stations operational budget, Djörn Major XJ-003 was on the verge of bankruptcy and collapse when Kuln took command. It took Kuln less than three months to turn the facility around and in the twenty years since the facility has maintained a spotless record.

Assistant Administrator Sirius Krell



The enigmatic Sirius Krell served as Kuln's Assistant Administrator and as his right hand. Among his many innovations during his time on Djörn Major was a highly trained Tactical Security Team which far exceeded anything offered by standard station security personnel. Krell also streamlined station operations and instituted numerous changes that increased station operational efficiency while decreasing operational costs. Krell served aboard Djörn Major for nearly six years.

Head Gaolor Darnar Brokas



Rounding out Djörn Major's command personal was Darnar Brokas who served as the Head Gaolor at Djörn Major for nearly twenty years. Brokas was initially posted to Djörn Major as a quartermaster, but was reassigned to the temporary position of Head Gaolor after the prior Gaolor had been killed during a prison riot. In time the posting became permanent. Brokas worked tirelessly to control the prison population, sometimes resorting to violence and subterfuge. He was charged on several occasions with improper conduct, although none of the charges were ever substantiated.

Telepathic Mayhem:[edit]

During the trip to Djörn Major a number of unforeseen events occurred that became a threat to the success of the mission before it had even really started. Divon Lronen, the Nimitz ships Counselor collapsed into unconsciousness without apparent reason within hours of the rendezvous with the Hegh’delar. He remained in a coma for the rest of the mission despite the best efforts of Doctor Jonas Lemar and the Nimitz’ Assistant Counselor, Cecilia Bruce.

Shortly after this incident Ensign(jg) Harry Doorman assaulted without warning, Ensign(sg) Eric McDermott. In a subsequent conversation with Counselor Bruce after the incident Doorman appeared confused and even went so far as to state that McDermott had forced Doorman to attack him. Later that evening Doorman attempted suicide by trying to blow himself out of an airlock.

The final incident occurred during the second day aboard the Hegh’delar during a mission briefing. The senior tactical officer aboard, Ensign(sg) McDermott appeared distracted and confused and the plan he submitted for the rescue action was unusually brief and his explanations for his plan was both terse and hostile. The meeting eventually devolved into a bitter confrontation between McDermott and Ensign(jg) Thom Hania.

In a later confrontation with Captain Devan Sash, McDermott became even more uncharacteristically confrontational and emotional and nearly attacked his own Captain. It soon became obvious that McDermott was suffering from great duress and was only partially aware of his surroundings.

It was at this point that Ensign Bruce intervened and explained to the Captain that McDermott was part Betazoid and was suffering from some kind of Telepathic overload. Bruce had been keeping McDermott’s true nature a secret, as even he was not aware of his own heritage and she had yet to decide how to break the news to him.

It was only through later investigation by Bruce, that proved that the incidents were caused by Lt(jg). Lronen. Lronen, had been seriously affected by a previous telepathic incident in which his own mind had been overwhelmed and was in turn inadvertently affecting everyone else on board the Hegh’delar, including the unsuspecting Doorman and the untrained McDermott.

The end result was that Lronen and Doorman spent the rest of the mission in the Hegh’delar’s small sickbay and McDermott was treated with telepathic inhibiting drugs to allow him to think clearly. McDermott was further declared unfit to participate in the extraction mission by Captain Sash and was ordered to remain aboard the Hegh’delar.

The Rescue:[edit]

The rescue team was made up of two elements; the first led be Captain Devan Sash was made up of the majority of the Nimitz Personnel with the exception of Lt. Commander. Jonas Lemar, Ensign(sg). Eric McDermott, Ensign(jg). Tral and Ensign(jg). Lawrence Drake.

Sash’s team infiltrated the station with extensive help from Ensign(sg). Ahmed Ibn Salid. The Nimitz’ Chief Engineer came up with a number of ideas included a cloaking armored EVA suit, modified from the available Klingon EVA suits, attuned to the Hegh’delar’s cloaking device; A series of portable sensor ghost generators, and a mobile handheld command net interdiction device which later allowed the crew limited access to the station’s main computer systems. Unfortunately despite successful tests of the stealth suits aboard the Hegh’delar, the stealth features mysteriously failed once aboard the station.

The Nimitz Assistant Counselor Cecilia Bruce also came into her own during the course of the operation as she was called upon on numerous occasions to use her skills to detect approaching station security personnel and on one occasions rendered an entire security detail unconscious without a shot being fired by the two opposing forces. Bruce also lent some less obvious support by keeping in touch with Ensign(sg).

The captain’s team using stealth and speed was successful in capturing the stations computer core and from there the team was able to wreck havoc on the facility. Ensign Salid worked in concert with Ensign(sg) Tom Jackson to disable the stations shields and weapons. Salid also created a powerful plasma surge through the tactical systems. The end result was the unexpected explosion of the Station’s Ventral Shield Generator, which was responsible for extensive damage to the station and the deaths of hundreds of station personnel including the stations Engineering Chief.

The second team was made up of the Klingon crew of the Hegh’delar led by the Nimitz’ Second Officer, Lt. Commander. Jonas Lemar. Despite heavy opposition Lemar and his team were able to fight there way to the Maximum Security Detention Area where Lt. Tagon was being held and link up with Captain Sash’s team.

In the confrontation with the Starfleet Marine Detachment led by Major Julian Wells, Ensign Bruce was able to negotiate a ceasefire in order to prevent any further casualties to both sides. Wells heavily outnumbered and in danger of being overwhelmed, agreed in order to buy time for more station security to arrive on the scene in order to tip the balance in his favor. As part of the agreement Wells agreed not to interfere with Sash or his team unless they endangered the life of Lt. Tagon.

Part of the security to prevent Tagon’s escape was an explosive collar that would detonate if he were moved too far away from its automated triggering device. Captain Sash discovered a way to disable the device and to the surprise of Wells and his detachment, the rescue team was beamed away with the newly liberated Lt. Dru Tagon.

The Death of Major Julian Wells:[edit]

Despite the odds against them, the extraction team led by Captain Devan Sash and Lt. Commander Jonas Lemar, had succeeded in infiltrating the maximum security section of the station and rescued Lt. Dru Tagon after having fought the marine detachment of Major Julian Wells to an uneasy stalemate.

It was at that point Captain Sash ordered Ensign(sg). Cecilia Bruce to enter into negotiations with Major Wells and she was able to appeal to the Major’s sense of honor resulting in a ceasefire agreed to both by him and Captain Sash. While it was obvious that the Major had an ulterior motive to agreeing to the ceasefire, specifically the probability that more reinforcements would arrive to assist him, he agreed to terms.

During the ceasefire the team was able to free Tagon from his cell and the only moment of tension occurred when Wells and his Marines moved to prevent the extraction team from moving Tagon out of the vicinity of the maximum security cell block. Wells ordered the move however to save the life of Tagon who was wearing and explosive collar which would detonate upon him being removed from the immediate vicinity.

As such Wells had not violated the provisions of the ceasefire as he had stated from the outset that as long as the prisoners life (Tagon) was not endangered he and his men would not interfere.

Captain Sash used the time to discover a way to defeat the explosive collar and with that done ordered a STS transport right out from underneath Major Wells’ nose.

It was at this precise moment that a member of the rescue team threw an explosive charge at Wells and his marines at the moment of beam out.

Witnesses to this action were Ensign(sg) Cecilia Bruce, Ensign(jg) Raymond Kean and Security Crewman Tek Gizell.

After successfully escaping from Djörn Major, Bruce informed Captain Sash who had not witnessed the incident, of the action so that he could take formal action against guilty officer. During the subsequent interview, the officer freely admitted to taking the action and did not seem to believe that he had done anything wrong at all.

It was at that point that accused officer insinuated that Bruce had betrayed him and then without further warning, collapsed and died, toxicology tests indicate poisoning as the cause of death.

Initial investigation of the death has been ruled by the Investigating Officer as a suicide. The further investigation continues at this time.

Subsequent intelligence intercepts indicate that Major Julian Wells was killed as a result of this act. As a result this incident is classified as a premeditated murder, as well as a direct violation of Starfleet Special Order Number Two.


IKS Hegh'delar vs The USS Vindicator:[edit]

Ensign(sg). Eric McDermott, Ensign(jg) Tral and Ensign(jg). Lawrence Drake remained on board the IKS Hegh’delar while Captain Devan Sash and Lt. Commander Jonas Lemar led the away teams on Djörn Major. This turned out to be an unparalleled opportunity for these young officers as during the course of the mission, the Defiant Class Starship, USS Vindicator discovered the cloaked Hegh’delar in close proximity to the station. In the resultant clash, McDermott took command of the Hegh'delar and working together the three young officers fought their first starship engagement.

Despite being overmatched, the trio succeeded in leading the USS Vindicator in a nearly forty-five minute long hit and run battle which eventually resulted in the crippling of the Vindicator and the death of her Captain along with nearly half of her crew. In the climax of the battle McDermott made use of a modified version of the ‘Picard Maneuver’, which would later come to be called McDermott's Sidestep. After the Vindicator was disabled the Hegh'delar was able to pick up the rescue team and Lt. Tagon without further incident and withdraw from the system.

52nd Fleet Intelligence Update:[edit]

With the successful rescue of Lt. Dru Tagon the political and military repercussions of the Djörn Major incident were widespread. With the apparent deaths of Administrator Kuln and Assistant Administrator Krell as well as the death of Starfleet Captain Laura Bentsen, officials in the Doenitz regime were looking for a scapegoat.

The senior Doenitz officer on the scene, a Captain Harl Whorlet of the USS Nightshade arrested the only remaining Djörn Major Officer, Darnar Brokas on Stardate 2407.03.10 on the charges of Treason and obstructing an investigation. Whorlet was convinced that Brokas was an accomplice to the team that freed Dru Tagon, and that he was responsible for wiping the facilities computer logs and murdering the Administrator and Assistant Administrator, as well as wiping his own memory.

On Stardate 2407.03.11 a Special Tribunal found Brokas innocent of the charges of treason and obstruction, although they did find him guilty of gross incompetence and he was banned from again working in the Federation Penal System. While it is not clear how Brokas avoided being found guilty of all charges, it can be speculated that the former Head Gaolor had some means of influence that allowed him to escape virtually unscathed.

After the trial Darnar Brokas disappeared and his current whereabouts are unknown.

While Administrator Hyrim Kuln and his Assistant Sirius Krell have been presumed dead by 'official' Federation Investigators, recent evidence points to the possibility that the two escaped through some as yet unknown means. Their current location and status remains unknown at this time.
