The Early Career Years

Commander Martin O'Shea was a gradute of the Starfleet Academy Class of 2397. He scored in the top 15 percentile of his class and was assigned to the USS Wyvern, A Nebula Class starship(NCC-264002). He began there as the ship's ACEO.

Over the years Martin advanced in rank, serving first as the ship's CEO. He served in that capacity for two years before being named third Officer at the rank of Lieutenant. Two years later O'Shea was promoted again to the position of Second Officer and Lieutenant commander aboard the Wyvern.

USS Wyvern

When the United Federation of planets was plunged into civil war, Martin found himself promoted to the rank of Commander and the position of First Officer for the Wyvern under the command of Captain Angela Smithwick. Despite some personal reservations about the nature of Doenitz's rise to power, Martin continued to serve the UFP.

USS Forrester

For the first part of the civil war the Wyvern particiapted in basic security patrols which brought them inot only limited conflict with elements of the 52nd fleet. The Wyvern was quickly making a reputation for itself when it captured the USS Forrester, A Nova Class Variant Ship (NCC-72701) commanded by Captain J'osrat Mathal. The larger more powerful vessel was surprised with her shields down and the Wyvern's security teams managed to board the vessel in quick order. The capture of the ship took place without a single loss of life. Commander Martin O'Shea led that boarding action personally and was awarded two commendations for his actions.



Worlds Once Lost

On Stardate 2407.02.24 the USS Wyvern received orders to patrol a sector of Space know as the Ivor Sector named for the Only Habitable Star System in the Sector. This system contained a long defunct federation Colony believed destroyed by the Borg.

USS Champlain

Captain Smithwick order the Nebula to the sector and the ship began a series of long range scans looking for any sign of ships from the seditionist 52nd Fleet operating in the area. After several days of fuitless searches, The Wyvern turned her attention to the planet of Ivor Prime where she discovered the USS Champlain. A three nacelled Galaxy class variant belonging to the 52nd Fleet.

USS Wyvern at Deep Space 6

Smithwick ordered an immediate attack despite O'Shea's warnings of caution. In the end the Wyvern was forced to retreat, when the Champlain utilized modified shuttles to mimic the Champlain's sensor signature. The Wyvern escaped suffering some significant damage. The Champlain chose not to pursue the damaged vessel. The Wyvern put in to Starbase DS-6 for repairs before heading out again in search of the Champlain. Captain Smithwick took a personal interest in the vessel and soon became obsessed with the destruction of the larger ship.

The Wyvern returned to the Ivor system looking for any sign of the Champlain. After searching the remainder of the system and that two other adjacent systems, the Wyvern was forced to give up the chase, but only for a short while. It wasn't long before fate would bring the Wyvern and the Champlain back together again.

In the interim, The Wyvern locates and captures a shuttlecraft carrying Ensign Sam Moto transferring from the USS Palidan, a ship of the 52nd fleet. Moto is ordered incarcerated. He is to be conveyed back to Earth to stand trial for treason and sedition.

Beyond Vengeance

On Stardate 2407.03.14 The Tactical Offcier of the USS Wyvern detects a federation warp signature in an adjacent Star System. Despite any proof, Captain Smithwick is convinced the signature belongs to the USS Champlain. She orders the Wyvern to the system at high speed.

USS Wyvern at Warp

Upon arriving at the outskirts of the system, Captain Smithwick orders the Wyvern to engage their cloaking device and scan the system. The Wyvern crew discover that the USS Champlain is in the process of a first contact situation with an as of yet unidentified hostile species. Smithwick at O'Shea's urging orders the Wyvern to hold position and see what develops. However once the Champlain withdraws from what is quickly becoming a military engagement, Smithwick orders the Wyvern into action.

In once swift maneuver, she orders the vessel to drop it's cloak and target the Champlain's bridge. In this manner, Smithwick hopes to kill off the Champlain's command staff and render the ship combat ineffective. The maneuver is only partiall successful, as the Captain and CMO are killed outright. The First officer is incapacitated during the initial attack as well.

The Champlain recovers quickly under the leadership of Breanna Frazier, who orders Lieutenant junior Grade Jono Janeway to board the small ship once her shield generators are destroyed. Once the boarding parties are aboard the Wyvern Smithwick attempts to Ram the Champlain. She is partially successful, causing damage to the larger vessel's third nacelle.

Martin relieves her of command and assumes the position.
