But still thinking about Mississippi and her captain .Ginny Gray , I only met her once but a good person and good captain.Will the Arkansas is a small ship for these's day's ,but she can hold her own in battle . Specialy with the new quantum torpedo launchers we are getting when we get to Crimson.

Captains Log:

Having just arrived at Starbase Crimson I anxiously await my first mission. I have found out that a recent battle has left Starfleet off balance in the entire Quadrant. I ordered the crew of my ship the USS Olympias to be ready for all eventualities.

Red Squadron Command Log:

Our recent encounter with the Borg and the Doomsday Machine has left the Squadron weary but hardened. The casualties between The Iron Maiden and the Red Dragon have reached 102 with the death of another crewman today from neural shock following the extraction of Borg nano-probes. My own treatment has just finished but the doctor has given me 48 hours before I can report for active duty.

After reviewing our latest intelligence it is my belief that the Borg was here to recover their technology. The success of some of our weapons systems against them after we have adapted some of their own tech proves they have need to be concerned. It is also my belief that Borg technology was used to repair the Doomsday machine. I await Starfleet Intelligence’s final report since they are now in possession of what remains of the Planet Killer.

This entire affair leaves us with a troubling question. Is there a yet unseen hand in this affair? It seems clear that the Orions were involved in the transfer of Borg tech to the Romulans but the activation of the Doomsday machine would appear to be beyond their usual resources.

Someone has managed to see our fleet strength seriously diminished and at the same time re-focused the Borg on the Federation. Whoever did this has not even lost a crewmen let alone a ship.

Admiral Zakk is currently leading the effort to purge the last traces of the Borg virus from our HQ systems. He believes we made ourselves vulnerable to this attack by our own use of captured Borg Tech.

Red Squadron has deployed itself in the Beta Quadrant in an interdictory posture. Captain Raymond Anders, newly assigned as Red–Alpha Leader will be heading efforts to monitor and secure traffic through the the Orion Sector. With his own ship, the USS Arkansas he will lead Captain Achilles Moore with the USS Everalst and Py’yr Kial with the USS Parallax.

Captain Hect Lee newly assigned as Head of Fleet Security, with her ship the USS Protector and Captain Komodo with the USS Roke will be responsible for establishing the Security of Starbase Crimson. Captain Lee will also work to strengthen our contacts in the Borderlands in an attempt to uncover any information about the trade in Borg Tech or just who may have repaired the Doomsday Machine.

I have also sent our new Starfleet Liason’s officer, Sharel Natreni, to Starfleet Command for a full briefing as Starfleet Intelligence releases their next report. She will then be coordinating our efforts with Starfleet as we develop our strategies for the future.

Captains Log:

I have received my first assignment and am preparing to disembark for a briefing at Starfleet Command. I look forward to helping to coordinate Starfleet's response to these new, and as yet, largely unknown threats.

Captains Log:

While at Starfleet Command I have been attempting to conduct a recruiting drive...although so far with little luck....I have asked the Admiral to post a list of positions open within the fleet so we can let potential recruits know what we are looking for.

There has been no word from Starfleet Intelligence regarding the Borg/Doomsday incident. I can only assume they are withholding the info for some reason.

wow I'm so excited I actually get to due something I'm good at making ideas become realities I was just Ordered by the Admin to go to the Orion Sector apperantly the need someone to help Captian Anders come up with new Ships maybe Anders and I could come up with new never before seen classes

Red Squadron Command Log:

I have just been made aware that Red Squadron may have the opportunity to participate in a vital mission in the Gamma Quadrant. It is possible we could be the first Starfleet unit to work with newly allied legions of Jem'Hedar. I am reviewing giving Alpha-Squad this high-priority mission. I await Captain Anders assessment of the the situation in the Orion Sector. As things have been fairly quite there of late we may be able to resume monitoring suspicious traffic through our sensor array. The Red Dragon can remain on call at Starbase Crimson for emergency intercepts.

Gamma Quadrant Mission

Red Squadron Command Log:

Although Admiral Farrior is concerned all can rest assured that Red Squadron looks forward to working with Hazard Team in all Quadrants. As soon as possible arrangements should be made for some joint-training missions. Although I find the rivalry healthy I shall see to it that no animosity develops.

Word has been sent to Captain Anders and Red-Alpha to prepare to relocate from deployment in the Orion sector to the Gamma Quadrant. Our interdiction efforts in the Orion sector will be maintained by Red-HQ patrol.

We are also considering attaching Head of Fleet Security Captain Lee to Red-Alpha for this mission. I await her report on security at Starbase Crimson before I finalize any assignments.

I have also initiated a crash course in culture sensitivity in dealing with the Jem'Hedar for all command officers. I believe this is vital to avoid any communication problems.

If you want to volunteer for this mission and get involved in the next round of role-playing this is your chance.

Red Squadron Command Log, general briefing:

Attention fleet as of 0100 hours today we have been drawn into conflict with changeling entities. It is unknown whether or not these entities are associated with the Dominion and as of yet we have no idea how wide spread this threat may be.

Yesterday at 17:50 hours I sent orders to Captain Sharel of the Olympias to make way to the new fleet rendezvous point at DS9 to prepare for Red-Alpha’s passage through the wormhole. At this time I gave word to my HQ staff that I would be mediating in my quarters aboard the Iron Maiden.

In truth I was joining my first officer and a picked crew aboard my old ship the Shadowfax. While the Iron Maiden remained docked at Starbase Crimson we cloaked and set course at maximum warp to intercept the Olympias.

My suspicions that the Changelings would respond as we mobilized to enter the Gamma Quadrant again were warranted. Although my original thought, that Captain Sharel would already have been killed and replaced while still on earth was not valid.

Shortly after the Olympias left sector 001 she was hailed by a Starfleet Diplomatic Courier Shuttle said to be containing Red Squadron’s Ambassador Kralj. After she received orders, that she believed to have been sent by me, Captain Sharel allowed Ambassador Kralj and his team to board her vessel.

I can now report that Ambassodor Kralj and his three assistants were all Changeling agents that attempted to replace the ships three senior officers and Captain Sharel.

The Shadowfax arrived just in time to intervene. It was only through the expertise of the crews on both ships that we managed to escape from the encounter with none of our personnel killed. Three of the Changelings escaped onto their shuttle and the one that remained behind as a diversion will not be answering any questions.

Our esteemed ambassador must be considered, at the very least, to be missing.

Red-Alpha Squad will now deploy immediately to the new Gamma quadrant rendezvous.

The fleet will remain on Code-1 status until our forward position in the Gamma Quadrant is secure.


The Following ships are assigned to Red-Alpha for this mission.

Red-Alpha Leader-Captain Raymond Anders: USS Arkansa
Head of Engineering - Captain Xeon: USS Breakaway
Captain Achilles Moore – USS Everlast
Head of Fleet Security- Captain Hect Lee: USS Protector
Strategic Liaison Officer - Captain Sharel Natreni: USS Olympias
Captain Py’yr Kial: USS Parallax


The Following ships are on ready stand by.

Fleet Admiral Quin Draco: USS Iron Maiden
Admiral Zakk: USS Red Dragon
Head of Red-HQ Squad Engineering – Captain Alvar Komodo



Captains please become aware that all officers and crew are now subject to random blood screenings. I have sent word to Starfleet recommending that all senior officers be subject to blood screening as soon as possible.

On a sad note I fear that a Changeling impersonation may prove to be the cause behind Hazard Team’s Captain Paul Sutherland’s recent behavior. He was never a bright lad but to go on about an old ankle injury excuse like that was surely nothing less than an attempt to undermine Hazard Team’s confidence.

We are currently awaiting telemetry from our long range probes all units keep your comm channels open.

Attention Red-Alpha Squad

Mission Codename: Sanguine Shield

After Rendezvous at DS9 set course for the old Dominion internment camp 371.

Our probes are reporting a suspicious lack of Dominion activity and we have been unable to raise anyone on sub-space.

According to contacts in the Ferengi Trade Authority there is a gathering of refugees in the Torad system, they have been fleeing the Borg operating near that Sector.

Captain Anders is to coordinate diplomatic contacts with the Vorta and Jem’Hedar at the first opportunity.

After securing camp 371 Alpha Squad will set scouting patrols in the sector. I recommend Captain Lee as a temporary commander for the camp until we can place a permanent operations staff on duty.


At this time, with the lack of communication, I will prepare to lead a mission to the Founder Homeworld. I am not much of a diplomat but I hope the the Founder Odo will understand my concerns and Starfleet’s and support our efforts to establish a new Gamma Quadrant presence.

Good Luck Troops - Stay Frosty

Acknowlaged USS Breakaway now en route to DS9 at maximum Warp I have also orderd my Crew to due a full Systems check while we are in Transit I hope to see you all at DS9 good luck to us all

"out of the darkness and into the sun but I won't forget the place I come from"

Red Squadron Command Log:

Operation Sanguine Shield is now in motion. Captain Anders and his team are en route to secure camp 371 and I await a report on their progress. Even with the help of the wormhole the logistical considerations of this mission require us to move forward in a staged fashion.

Before I can move to secure our position at the strategic level I must let Red-Alpha Squad assess the situation in Dominion Space first hand and establish our forward base at Camp 371.

I have been privy to “rumors” that the Dominion is fractured. It seems that after Odo’s return there was a great deal of change among the Founder population on their homeworld. Their Great Link, where the creatures live in communion, has been depleted as more and more parts of the Link have ventured forth to see the wonders and horrors which they have wrought.

The Changelings began to take on a more active role in running their empire and after a little progress something went wrong. It may have been when a few Changelings, who had gone into hiding in the Alpha Quadrant after the Dominion Wars, returned and convinced some of their brethren that they had been duped by the Federation.

The Ferengi have kept up trade in the Gamma Quadrant all this time so I believe that Ferengi commerce may have been compromised by Changelings. My sources speak of a split among the Founders and rogue Changelings but I can confirm none of it.

One thing that is certain is that the Borg have been slowly encroaching on sectors that are near Dominion Space. To believe the rumors, the Borg have decided that since the Changelings cannot be assimilated that they must be exterminated.

Another point of concern is that the Bajoran Government has been reticent to give me any useful information about the progress of resettlement on New Bajor. I have sent word to the Kai asking for her help. Since we have had some acquaintance in the past I believe she may be able to assist me.

Red Squadron Command Log:

I expect a final report within 48 hours on the feasibility of retaining our hold on Camp 371.
Captain Anders and Red-Alpha have been taking evasive tactics to make our approach to the old internment camp less visible. I have authorized them to use random course adjustments to confuse any observers.

The last thing we want is for that base to be fortified against us. If this were to turn into a confrontation before we secure our forward position I would consider ourselves tactically exposed to risk.

I will be meeting with the Kai this evening. Whatever it is the Bajoran's know about the latest events in the Gamma Quadrant should be interesting since it would seem they have yet to fill in their friends in San Francisco, not to mention anyone else in the Alpha Quadrant.

Quin Draco

Admiral Draco I have ordered my crew to do a Sensor Sweep of the area around Camp 371 however we have not dected anything once we do I or Captian Anders will be sure to let you know I just don't understand why things are so quite in Dominon Space the have to be up to somethings and my Sensors have picked up a massivie amount of Ferangi traffic in this area I will report to you as more details come in (end tramsmission)

Captains Log: Stardate 46328.10


Sensor Sweep of the area around Camp 371 shows not much ,but shiping.We do see a
small something in the Obatta Cluster Sector Grid 014. Promention take USS Everlast to take a look.

Red Squadron Command Log:

Red-Alpha has become bogged down investigating sensor anomalies and trying to find the missing Dominion presence. It is possible that the Dominion is no more.

Meanwhile my visit with the Kai was disturbing. If I did not know better I would say that she does not remember me. Several months ago I had an entire philosophical debate with her about using Bajoran religious artifacts for Starfleet military objectives. She won the debate and missed a chance to remind me of it and then she seemed oblivious to the fact that we had fought the Romulan's side by side. I fear the worst.

Quin Draco

To All members of alpha Squad I have just been informed by Captian Anders that there is an Ion Storm in the Sector I have given the Order to pull back to DS9 and wait till the Storm passes I have also been informed by Lina my Engineering officer aborad the Breakaway that my Shuttle Craft the Alpha Angel is almost ready for flight we just have to finish the adjustments with the Interface System we will yous the down time to finish the Shuttle also maybe DS9 is aware of the Troubles in the Dominon would it be ok if I met with Captian Sisko to disscuss the matter at hand or should I keep this in the red squad (end transmission)

Red Squadron Command Log:

All units report. Red Squadron will be assembling at DS9 for immediate redeployment to the Gamma Quadrant. Captain Anders please advise all units of the telemetry on Camp 371. We have gone in and had a look, now lets go set up the flag. I will lead a task force in support to keep communications open and establish contact with the Dominion, or what's left of it.
Stand by for deployment assignments within 24 hours.

Quin Draco

Admiral Quin the last time I was in the Gamma Quadrant I detected massive ammounts of Subspace Transmissions going back and forth between the Borg in this Sector and the Queen I have a theroy that the Borg in the Gamma Quadrant saw the Dominon as a threat probally because the Dominon got there hands on Borg Tech some how the Borg never attack unless there Assimlateing or they pressive a threat and that's coming from Federation Documents I reccomend sending a Shuttle through the Bjoran Wormhole to Scout the area leading up to Camp 371 a Shuttle is smaller than a Starship and therfore much faster and it maybe a good idea to send a Shuttle that has Cloaking Tech like my Alpha Angel which is a slightly smaller Delta Flyer (end Transmission)

Red Squadron Command Log:

As I rendezvous with the fleet at DS9 I am preparing to take aboard our first Jem'Hedar soldier.

I expect there to be some controversy both within and outside of the fleet but I have made the decision that our very principles our at stake. For a Starfleet officer to allow a foot-soldier to be confined like a criminal is a violation of the oath I swore when I put on this uniform.

After these many years it is time we close down the detention colonies and allow those Jem'Hedar who were not guilty of war crimes to be rehabilitated. Since I did not think others would rush to volunteer I will take this man onto my own ship as a member of my personal strike team. I will take full responsibility for the individual named Hktor. I have assigned him a provisional rank of Crewman.

Quin Draco

Red Squadron Command Log:

The Arkansas has taken some damage to her warp nacelles during the Ion Storm and is going to be at DS9 a few days patching up. I am ordering all able hands to prepare to rendezvous at New Bajor. We will establish a secure line of communication from there. I mean to find out what is going on in Dominion Space before we walk into the trap we are all smelling.

Sign on to the mission

[color:b720="Red"]Red Squadron Command Log:

Due to the latest threats being issued from some within the Klingon Empire we are reviewing our strategic options. If Starfleet advises we are prepared to return to the Beta Quadrant and prepare to meet the Klingon's before they cross into Federation Space. I have asked Operations to project the strength of any Klingon Strike Force. It is my belief, based on the latest intelligence reports, that the Klingon's are in no way prepared for open hostilities, stealthy raids.....perhaps.

We have also begun planning for a preemptive strike should we detect a Klingon invasion force assembling. Mission, Codename: Jabberwocky, will destroy Klingon Communication relays and supply depots isolating their forward units from reinforcement while we encircle and destroy.
