Fleet Update

The ship has now entered the Antarchus system and is four hours distant from the last known coordinates of the Borg transmission. Our mission specialist, Doctor Samantha Gunnell has detected field variations in the Subspace River's base signature, indicating that Borg interference of the core matrix is now taking place. If the Borg achieve active assimilation of the rivers control mechanisms, then the outlook for the Federation is at best, bleak.... Catastrophic at worst. Only time will tell what the outcome will be - and time tells no lies.

Current Mission Overview

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 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....

Status Report

"Captain's supplemental log, Stardate 2408.06.06. 20:05 hundred hours."

"After encountering the Borg vessel whilst still under phased cloak, we dispached an EVA team of marines to covertly board the ship by way of a portable boarding tube, the 'Can Opener' as the Marines affectionately like to term it. The operation was a success but during their mission to incapacitate the Borg Communications array and main power systems, a small Sphere ejected in an attempt to remotely re-establish a link with the collective. I gave the order to pursue the sphere but despite our best efforts to destroy it, it seems that it may have initiated a time jump"

"The unusually configured Borg vessel however has now been secured and a small number of drones taken aboard the Spectre for further data retrieval. Attempts are also under way by Doctor Gunnell, our mission specialist to establish data linkup with the Borg ships main database. My thoughts though are still of the Sphere and where, or when it might re-emerge"

Ship's History

The USS Spectre is what is known as a Black Ops vessel, this means that when a mission calls for covert operations, particularly beyond enemy lines or in enemy space, the Spectre is the ship that is called upon. She is unique in the fleet in that she is fitted with a phased cloak in order that she may carry out these most special of missions. The Spectre fights the "war without a fleet", in the Federation Civil War.

She is currently under the command of Captain T'Vhor who was promoted to Captain after her previous Captain Remae Ktell was involved in a landmine incident on the occupied planet Betazed which cruelly robbed him of his lower limbs. Commander Andrew Williams is her current First Officer.

Her Plaque

More then One?

Yes, there is more then one USS Spectre buzzing around, 3 in the current universe, I wanted to get 1 back from the Alt Timeline Utopia Planitia the last time we played it, circa 2402-2404, of course, we brought it in the current timeline along with all the members of Utopia Planitia, gee... confusing much?

The other Spectres? At least one of them is a long, long way away in the Gamma Quadrant, if memory serves... the other? No idea, maybe I need to think something up? :)
