M-18 The Past is Future
Post Count: 162The Temporal Cold War just got hot.
Having repeatedly failing to undermine the formation of the Federation, the remaining factions it the Temporal Cold War have decided to engineer it's collapse by using one of Federation's own.
Recruited by what they thought was Federation time ship the crew of the Phoenix are sent back in time to ensure the several historical events happen the way they are supposed to, thus protecting the timeline. At least that's what they were led to believe. Unbeknownst to them, if they succeed billions could die and the Federation will fall.
Below Decks

What was Lost is Found
Post Count: 0The crew of the Phoenix has had little luck finding any sign of the bio-signature for the defiled but what they do find is a crashed Romulan D7 and the remains of an old Constellation Class ship, the USS Granger, that had been reported missing near the Romulan Neutral Zone on SD 7396 (2271).
How did vessels from over 100 years in the past get 200 light years from where they were.

A No Win Situaton
Post Count: 0"A no win situation is a possibility that every commander may face..." - Admiral James T. Kirk
This is the situation that now faces the crew of the USS Phoenix.
While continuing their search for the defiled they detect the remnants of a neutron star hurtling through space. They soon realize that the rogue star fragment is about to pass through a nearby star system. Sensors show that the system is inhabited by a civilization on the verge of warp technology.
What is the Crew to do? Federation policy is clear - to aid them would be a violation of first contact policy but the Prime Directive as well. Torn by the rules they've all sworn to uphold and the knowledge that nearly 14 billion people are about to die; the crew must choose.
Monsters ARE real
Post Count: 0Responding to a distress call the crew of the Phoenix arrives at a space station, apparently dead in space. What they find is beyond anyone's imagination.

Immunity

Iconian Glory
Post Count: 0Following the collapse of their galactic empire 200,000 years ago the Iconians had retreated to their home world and original region of space in the Delta Quadrant. Their space protected by an impenetrable energy web, they have no ships and still move from place to place and planet to planet via the original technology that created their massive empire.
While searching for a new home world for the Pricari survivor the crew of the Phoenix find a large structure orbiting a planet that would serve like a perfect place for a Picari colony. Part of the crew goes to the surface and the rest examine the orbiting structure.
The landing part soon finds themselves alone when the ship vanishes and those on the ship find themselves on the other side of the galaxy.
Coming Home
Post Count: 0After a considerable amount of time away the crew of the Phoenix find themselves back home at Deep Space 5. Many are looking forward to some rest, relaxation, and the renewing of old friendships. But things never quite go as planned.

While the away team is on the planet a mysterious object appears at random both in orbit over the planet and on the surface. Scans of the object are inconclusive.
The away team accompanied by representatives of both the religious group, the government, and the Federation archeology team attempts to beam aboard to analyze the scrolls to validate their authenticity. However just as they are to be beamed up, the strange object orbiting the planet glows bright and disappears. On the surface the away team suddenly realizes that they are no longer on the planet...at least not the planet as they know it.

Post Count: 338JOINT MISSION
The Year is 2388
As 2387 would be known as the time of Romulus's destruction, 2388 would be a year that will always be remember as a year of upheaval and turmoil as the Federation moves to aid the fragile Romulan empire.
From the ashes of destruction rose a new time of cooperation between the Romulan Empire and the Federation. The time of interaction that began with the Shinzon incident of 2379 was only made stronger as the Federation moved to aid their one time nemisis.
However there were those the saw oppostunity in these events. The Klingons saw a chance to right the Dishonors of the past. So now the Federation must not only deal with the massive aid program, but once more must hold back their allies. The Federation walks a razor's edge between cementing a lasting peace or trading one ally for another.
The strain of supplying such a massive aid program as well as helping to secure the Romulan borders has pushed the Federation to an exteme and other eyes see this...
Eyes that have been watching from the shadows for 200 years...
Eyes that have watched and learned their enemy...
Eyes that see the time to strike is at hand...
Eyes filled with hate and a lust for revenge...Kzinti Eyes

Romulan Warbirds to the front with nothing but a Disabled Space station at her back with one real ship, some fighters, and a collection of hologams at her side.

Moves and Countermoves
Post Count: 1Forces once at work against a Klingon officer seem to have turned their attention on his former officers - Captain Montoya and Commander Means.
These two officers had commanded vessels assigned to, then Commodore, Da`nal's task force and had stood with the Commodore after the recall of that same mission. Maneuvering against Da`nal had manifested previously but the powers that be had tried to use the missions recall against the Klingon. They had conducted nearly a year long investigations into the actions of the three officers in an attempt to find wrong doing. Though no wrong doing was found on any of the three officers, Da`nal resigned, Montoya had been without assignment for months, and Means had been tasked with menial duties for the former Marine.
Even with Da`nal's resignation, take charge of his House with the Klingon Empire, these mysterious forces don't satisfied with his departure. Are they so petty that they have now turned on others? What kind of cancer is growing with the Federation that these venomous people have remained in power? More importantly can they be exposed and stopped?
