((Sometimes the rank of Major is givin to those who have demonstrated some sense of Valor, its also a marine/military rank thats just above the rank of Captain in the marine corp))

<Ready room>

"WHY! didnt you tell me you signed as my XO?, Rena." Rajnus said from behind his desk.

"You know that our past relationship can't interfere with our duties now.  I broke up with you because of this and now your serving as my XO!.  If your here to try and rekindle our relationship it must not happen, it CANT! happen.  Im a Captain now and how do you think it would look to those under my command that if they knew of our past relationship?" Rajnus said seriously from behind his desk showing no emotions at all.

"The Captain wanted me to accompany you and your marines to the planet surface to gather information on the planetary defense cannon," answered Dolan as he finished suiting up, "such as what type of weapon it is, how it works, etc."  Dolan then picked out a phaser rifle before he added, "He also wanted me to help you as much as possible after."

=^= "Andrea, whats the status of the front lines?" =^=

=^= "Raszagal, change course slightly and go around the destroyed Heraan battle line.  We must get to that cannon ASAP and take it offline.  It should give something for Starfleet Intelligence to do for quite some time." =^= Balkazar said over the 2 different comm channels.

"Dolan, what do you make of that cannon just from the scans we were able to breifly take?" Balkazar said turning to Dolan.

"It seems we're got their attention," Angel said, bobbing and weaving her Pyro around midair plasma detonations. "All units, switch phasers to independent-fire mode."

The seven Pyros rocketed toward their ground-based attackers, and each fighter's four phaser cannons, which normally fired in unison, now fired one after the other. This allowed the fighters to keep a continual stream of fire as opposed to four-shot salvoes. The Starfleet pilots raced toward the front lines, peppering the enemy gun emplacements with pulsed phaser fire.

Suddenly, a shrill tone filled Angel's cockpit, and she saw the flash of three plasma missiles launched from the surface. "Break!" she screamed, and pulled hard back and to the left on her flight stick. Two other Pyros did the same. The missile passed so close to Angel's cockpit canopy that she could see the striations in it's casing. One other fighter dodged as well, but the third was hit hard. "Mayday, mayday," cried the pilot. Deveraux identified the voice immediately as that of Lieutenant Alyssa Rawlings.

"Ali!" Deveraux called, using the pilot's nickname. "Bail out, that's an order!" Vertigo Three began to fall as the anti-grav generators gave out. "Transporter pod is shot, Angel! I can't keep this tug steady!"

The stricken craft made a desperate attempt at leveling out, but was unable to maintain altitude. It wavered and crashed, several hundred meters from the lines, unfortunately on the Heraani side.

Having stabilized the rest of her team just outside missile range, Angel looked helplessly at the distant crash site. She wanted more than anything to fly down there and rescue Alyssa, but it wasn't even certain she was still alive, and it would take precious time that the ground teams needed. She had a hard choice to make, between her friend and comrade, or the dozens of marines on the surface, most of whom she'd never even met.

"Orders, ma'am?" came Hunter's somber inquiry. "Continue with the offensive," Deveraux replied. "Alyssa will have to fend for herself."

Angel punched up the command vehicle on NAVCOM, and opened a two-way channel. "Colonel Balkazar, this is Vertigo One. I need you to send a unit to the coordinates of that crash. One of my best pilots might still be down there, and I'll be damned if the Heraan are going to take her without a fight."

(OFF: Actually, it's not. The naval rank of Major was ill-conceived and was removed several years ago.)

Raszagal entered the barracks, but the Colonel did not appear to be ready to address his marines yet. Therefore, Raszagal made her way to the gym at the far end of the barracks, jumped up onto one of the pull-up bars, and began a set of one-handed pull-ups.

As soon as she noticed the Colonel was wrapping up in his last-minute affairs, the lithe-bodied Gallifreyan dropped from the bar, and wiping the lone bead of sweat from her brow, began to make her way to the assembly of soldiers.

Dar'Nas was preparing to send repair teams once they were in warp, as to avoid interfering the mission. He also made sure that the emergency force fields were functioning so any weapons fire taken while the shields were down could be dealt with immediately.

"This thing is a marvel of engineering, despite its origins," commented Dolan, "My guess would that it fires kinetic projectiles - the speeds and power that are required to exit orbit are enormous.  A single projectile from the cannon would probably destroy or at least severally cripple any Alpha or Beta Quadrant vessel I can think of.  From what I can tell from our scans so far, the emplacement is structurally sound, without so much as a misplaced screw, and also possesses formidable fortifications.  Getting inside is going to be tough but taking it apart is going to be a nightmare."

"That is clear, Colonel.  I believed a note of caution would have been benefitial to the air squadrons and since you seemed quite occupied coordinating the attack, I gave it.  I did not give any orders out nor was I trying to override your authority,"  Dolan replied calmly.

The command vehicle suddenly shook violently, knocking several people off their feet.

"We've entered weapons range of the Heraan and their anti-vehicle turrets," said Dolan.  "The air squadrons also seem to have their hands full with the anti-aircraft turrets," he added after hearing a series of explosions overhead, "It seems like the Heraan are trying to use something similar to flak, but much more powerful to try and knock the fighter craft out of the sky."

<Balkazar and his marines were standing by as a Starfleet officer manned the transporter for the quick beam down, then he noticed Dolan walking into the Converted cargo bay>

"What are you doing down here, Dolan?" Balkazar asked curiously in his best gruff voice.
Title: Mission 6: "Unto the Breach"
Post by: Andrea Deveraux on March 04, 2008, 12:49:36 AM
Angel heard the Colonel's query, but at this point in a dogfight, she chose to ignore it, as it was nothing but a distraction. Her attention was on her wingmen, and on the Heraani interceptors coming at them at 1500 KPH.

The seven Pyro fighters tightened their wedge formation, and primed phaser cannons. "On my mark," Deveraux ordered, "give them a missile and break formation into a standard bloom."

All seven pilots armed a single photonic missile and each targeted a different enemy. "Tangos are guns-hot," came the voice of Vertigo Two, callsign Hunter, Angel's wingman.

"Keep frosty," Deveraux said without hesitation. "Fire in three."
The entire team counted down in their own heads, and three seconds later, seven photonic concussion missiles screamed toward the Heraan, one from each Starfleet fighter. As soon as the ordinance left their mounts, the seven fighters all pulled away, each a dozen or so degrees away from their neighbor, in a formation resembling a starburst.

The missiles were right on target, and seven Heraani interceptors were struck with the high-explosive ordinance. Four of those were vaporized immediately, the rest were severely damaged. However, it didn't take the Heraan long to respond, and a few of the Starfleet pilots found their cockpits filled with the tone of a hostile weapons lock.

<The fire teams stopped in the rear and aimed their rocket launcher weapons at the incoming damaged enemy fighters and opened fire.  What wasnt destroyed by Angel's wing was definately destroyed as several photonic rockets came from the ground peircing the air as they impacted the already damaged enemy fighters, vaporizing them instantly>

Dolan looked through the sensor scans worriedly, in case the Heraan sprung any more traps or ambushes.  The vehicle's shaking was slowly decreasing as the marines made progress in destroying the Heraani turrets and defensive positions.

Dolan turned to Brown from the primary science station and said, "I've finished improving the computer's processing algorithms several hours ago, along with some improvements to the shields and the sensors.  I am currently trying to devise a method to boost the strength of the shields without having to add power to them from other systems."

Dolan then turned back to his console and continued to work on such a method.

Dolan glanced over at the screens displaying scans of the area, other than that of the cannon and nearly gagged.

"Colonel, the most recent scans indicate that the Heraan are deploying reinforcements from their orbiting ships.  We need to get to that artillery installation and fast."
Title: Mission 6: "Unto the Breach"
Post by: Andrea Deveraux on March 11, 2008, 02:41:53 AM
The last of the Heraani interceptors met with a grizzly fate at the hands of Vertigo Two. Unable to stop from smiling, Angel called, "Vertigo Squadron, form up. Echelon right, Angel has the lead."

All seven fighters from Vertigo Squadron formed up after Deveraux, forming a standard echelon slash to the right, with Angel at the leading tip. "Good work, ladies, but we're not done yet. Now that we've done our part, the boys down below are crying for a little air support. What do you say, shall we give them one more for good measure?"

Hunter, easily identified by his thick Australian accent, could be heard laughing over the comm. "I don't know, Angel, I rather like being the life of the party. Rawlings?"

Lieutenant Rawlings, Vertigo Three, chuckled. "It's not fair, Colonel. We're up here with these fancy ships and we're supposed to go up against those blank-faced bastards? Give me nothin' but a knife, then it's a fair fight."

Angel smiled, and looked back to her NAVCOM. "Well, that settles that. Ladies and gentlemen, our number's been called. Let's not disappoint." One by one, the seven Pyro-GX fighters banked hard to the left and pitched down toward the Heraan's front lines.

(OFF: That was kinda lame. I thought we were going to winch these slinkies onboard the dropships and fly down manually.)

Raszagal hated the feeling of a Federation transporter, but gritted her teeth as she was disassembled proton by proton, and reassembled on the face of the planet. She immediately slammed the accelerator, and the four independent-axel wheels on the Puma lurched the truck forward, spitting gravel as it went. It was only a matter of seconds before the vehicle was up to 105 kph, and the accelerometer hit it's maximum.

She looked down at the radar (ancient shorthand for the scanners onboard the Puma), and saw the lines of green arrowheads denoting her fellow assault vehicles. They created a wedge formation, with the edges converging on the center of the radar; her location.

Eventually, as Raszagal zoomed the scanner out, she saw batteries of red facing in the opposite direction, several kilometers dead ahead. The Heraan were prepared, and they were heavily fortified. As planned, however, a stripe of green symbols denoting aerial units closed behind them. The private turned to see a flight of seven Pyro-GX fighters taking up the rear flank, ready to advance and provide air superiority as soon as the order was given.

"The situation is under control here, Colonel. We've had a few close calls with falling debris, but nothing of note so far." Raszagal turned to her passenger, who had a Starfleet sniper rifle in hand. "Ma'am," he said, "if you can keep the truck smooth, I think I can pick off a few of those flat-faces from here."

"Very good," she replied. "Do your best."

Raszagal made especially sure to keep the Puma from away from bumps or holes, and maneuvered as softly as she could while the sniper honed in on his first target.

Deveraux gritted as a photonic rocket passed a few meters from her wing. "Vertigo One to Alpha Company, keep the ground fire to a minimum, you almost took my wing off."

Angel saw a few plasma bolts whiz past her cockpit, and her scanners showed an interceptor on her six. An additional bolt struck her shields to confirm the bogey. "Angel, you've got a tango on your six!" came the cry of Stinger, Vertigo Four.

"I'm well aware of that, Four! Thatch weave, on my mark!" Deveraux looked over her right wing, and made sure Stinger was directly abeam of her position. "Mark!"

The two Pyros turned into one another, their turning radii intersecting as they passed meters from one another, Stinger's craft narrowly sliding under Angel's. As they began to straighten out and turn back to intersect again, Angel punched the throttle another 10%. This caused the Heraani pilot, unaccustomed to human flight techniques, to put himself right in Stinger's reticle as Angel crossed his sights.

"Fox Two!" Stinger announced as a photonic missile left it's mount and struck the Heraani craft hard, tearing it to pieces. "Splash five," called Angel as a kill confirmation, denoting the kill as the fifth since the mission clock started rolling.

Dolan's shift soon ended and he decided to throw the towel in on enhancing the ship's systems.  They were just too primitive to spend the time and energy on increasing by a small fraction.  Dolan headed for a holosuite, feeling the need to revisit the UEF Military Academy.  It might not have been his proper home, but it was the first place he called home, despite his origins.  Upon arrival at an open holosuite, he went inside and began to program a place that resembled the academy as Dolan recalled from the academy's blueprints and schematics.

Dolan finished programming a virtual version of the UEF Military Academy located on Earth.  It appeared very forbidding, with varying shades of gray covering the entire campus and an occasional tree or plant and even a small park in one area.  It seemed to radiate centuries of experience and endurance.  The people that were strolling the grounds all wore a dark blue uniform with a UEF symbol on the front and arm.  Small groups of people that looked somewhat similar to the Borg were regarded by the other people just a cut above servants.

Dolan noticed it was almost time for his shift and turned off his program and returned to the bridge shortly after.

Dolan struggled to remain in his seat as stray missiles from the above fight struck the ground near the ground troops.  According to his latest scans, the ETA at the cannon was about 10 minutes from now...and that was without factoring all of the fighting above them.  Rubble was starting to accumulate because of the fight, making it more difficult for the ground forces to find passable terrain.

Dolan observed the U.S.S. Normandy with a critical eye, already coming up with ways to improve it before he even stepped on the ship.  However, he ignored those cravings and headed to the closest turbolift.

"Deck 6," Dolan ordered and he soon stepped off on to Deck 6, right next to the primary computer core.  He moved to the closest open console and began to improve the algorithms of all of the computers networked to the computer core, resulting in an even faster processing speed, though not to the levels of bio-neural circuitry.

Dolan was about to answer Rajnus's question about the sensors when Biggins appeared on the bridge.  He wondered where Biggins could have possibly beamed in from, since sensors had not picked up any other Starfleet ships in the region.  Then again, they hadn't been picking up too much since they entered the vicinity of the Heraani system.

Dolan decided to answer Rajnus's question and said cautiously, "The emitter beam has improved scans of the region marginally.  At least we know where the planet is now.  However, I have a feeling the Heraan might be able to use this against us.  From what I can tell, they could probably figure out a way to use the emitter beam to focus on their cannon on us."

"Alright, LISTEN UP!, We are going yet again into unfriendly territory and compared to our last mission it should be a peice of cake.  Our mission is that once we hit planet side, we are to proceed to a Heraan outpost thats rumored to be in the area, from intelligence reports we have the honor of fighting against an elite heraan squad that is placed at the outpost protecting it from invaders like US!.  So here is the break down, we land, and take out the base is the most expedient way possible.  So that means since they have a orbital canon in place to prevent ships other then Heraani vessel's from landing, we have to blow up that cannon, then disrupt any and all jamming devices they may have to prevent communications with the ship.  Once we go that then the outpost can be bombarded from orbit with relative ease.  We will be taking on the base defenses as well as the elite guard themselves.  So skirmishing is required, this is not a full frontal assault marines, this has to be done threw guerilla tactic's.  ANY QUESTIONS?!"

Dolan barely stopped himself from rolling his eyes at Balkazar's comment.  The space cannon might target slowly, but it certainly could target a small fighter...the projectile only had to nick its shields and the fighter would be sent spiralling out of control.  Fortunately, most of the fighter craft were under the cannon's firing range anyway.

"Colonel, I'd like to correct you.  There are many smaller anti-aircraft weapons bordering the cannon, so sending aerial support would be risky.  There are also anti-personnel and anti-vehicle weapons bordering the cannon, so we probably need to fire missiles or some other projectile from a quite a distance to avoid being under fire.  Unfortunately, the landing Heraani troops are going to complicate things."

"As for weaknesses in the cannon, it seems our only option is to destroy it from the inside.  The structure is designed to take a severe pounding from the outside, so blowing it up from the inside would be much easier...unless we happen to have a number of tactical nuclear bombs with us.  It seems at the moment the best place to destroy it would be from underneath the gun, which puts the explosives under the risk of being seized by the Heraan, since it would take some time to get out of the blast radius."

Dolan had gotten onto Balkazar's command vehicle and looking over all of the scans of the space cannon.  It was massive - it had to be at least a kilometer in both width and length and the barrel had to have been as long as the the ship.  The cannon must have taken weeks to fully replicate and assemble.  It was more of a massive gun emplacement than a cannon.  Early scans indicated that it fired plasma-based projectiles, though it also could have fired purely kinetic-based - anything fired from the cannon had to have enough momentum to escape orbit and hit any approaching vessel, which implied extreme speeds.  Dolan continued to pore over the scans, looking for design flaws as much as the design itself.

"We will be taking as much heavy weaponry we can pack on the Puma's.  KEEP IN MIND! that the orbital canon WILL fire on the Normandy once we are close enough to be beamed down then the Normandy will retreat back behind friendly lines but still within communications range.  As for explosives anything that will make a nice big dent from a distance.  We have also been cleared to use the Power Armor to mount the heavy weapons on to use as artillery support, but they WILL be slow to move so ground support to protect them is a must.  Otherwise we will use the foilage to our advantage, since its primarily forest terrain.  Anything else?"

"Confirmed, command says move up and blast the front lines."

Deveraux keyed a few commands into her NAVCOM display and punched the throttle, getting her Pyro up to full speed. A tap of two LCARS buttons primed her phaser cannons, and the seven fighters raced toward the Heraani lines. The alien troops tried to mount a defense, but the Pyro-GX fighters were surprisingly small for their power, and were able to deftly weave in and amongst most of the enemy fire, with only two of the squadron taking even a single hit on their shields. The Heraan, however, were stationary for the most part, and were damaged heavily by the barrage of phaser bolts from the Pyros, each mounting four cannons. However, after the first pass, Deveraux's sensors picked up a flight of Heraani interceptors. She tagged them as primary targets on the NAVCOM, overriding the ground forces.

"Ladies and gentlemen," she said, priming one of her four photonic missiles. "It's pucker time." The seven Pyros turned in unison toward the Heraani flight, and the two groups maxed their engines, rocketing straight for one another.

Dolan replied, "Captain, it might give us a little more time if we approach the planet from the side opposite from where the cannon is.  We could then enter the atmosphere and hopefully get low enough that the weapon can't target us.  We then beam the marines a short ways from their destination and continue around the planet until we are on the opposite side again and we could make our escape then."

Dolan wondered why Rajnus seemed to be giving his XO the cold shoulder when they entered the ready room.  Dolan didn't pursuit that trail of thought and soon began working on enhancing the sensors so that they were more efficient and could use less power while performing equally or even better than before.  He hoped he would have time to visit the holodeck before the ship reached its final destination.

"We've got six Pelicans ready to go," she said. "We can mount them with microtorpedo pods and lock the Pumas on the belly. With careful timing, we'll have six Pumas at full combat speed before they hit the ground, not to mention the air support. We can also transform a number of the escape pods into combat drop pods, if there's anyone brave enough to sign up for the ride."

"I hope that's not his reasoning, because that's incredibly immature. Of course, I'm not surprised when you consider the fact that he's an impressionable droid from the Delta Alliance. Probably spent too much time around those damned Torrans."

Raszagal began to leave the corner, but she turned back around for a moment. "And he and I are nothing alike. I find such an idea offensive."

*Lilque chuckles to herself at the thought of marine relations*

"Sir, may I suggest you do a evaluation on your marines before throwing them into a combat situtation. There seems to be some hostilities amongst them and I do believe I can run a quick but efficient evaluation on the marines and help you to decide the best possible positions with each. Or at least to determine where not to put them." she suggested calmly.

"also, sir have you determined as to my assignments this mission?" she questioned

"Richard whats this?" Rajnus asked nodding to the 2 security guards.

"Dolan, how do you feel about a little stroll?" Rajnus asked Dolan with a semi grin creasing across his face.

"Alright Biggins, this is what we will do.  We will do what Dolan suggested and come from the opposite side of the planet.  We will drop shields and transport the marines down in less then 5 seconds.  Then jump into Warp the moment they planet side.  Understood?, you will have maybe 2 seconds to do this in.  But im sure you wont mind the pressure." Rajnus said as he leaned back in the command chair.

OOC: sorry to burst your techical manual, but according to "the Star trek encyclopedia" written by majel barrett and Michael okuda, the top speed for any Ambassador ship is Warp 9.9 in emergency situations which can be used for 12 hours max. examples being USS Horatio NCC - 10532 and the USS Excalibur NCC-26517.

*Rena just looked at Simon with a completely blank look on her face*
"Sir, excuse me, but I was not aware I would be your XO it was an assignment from Starfleet that I took on a whim. And of course I understand the rules. Honestly I have to admit it sir, I used to have feelings, but after everything, I no longer have them. So all I will say it that I will do my duties as your XO and my duties toward the ship, but don't ever make the mistake of thinking that my loyalty lies with my personal feelings, because it doesn't. You broke my heart once, never again sir. And if there is nothing else, I will leave you. " Rena Retorted with anger in her voice while remaining calm

"Control yourself, Rena.  I wont have my XO have her feelings from the past to dictate her actions in the present.  So control yourself.  As for your duties, I was merely making it clear that our past cant dictate our present circumstances.  As for your heart, I am sorry I broke it but it was needed since our jobs in the Federation took us to different parts of the galaxy.  So dont get sassy with me on the bridge.  Is that understood?" Rajnus told Rena calmly.

"Maybe, Raszagal.  Ill need to speak to you after this, in private.  As for you what kind of Vehicles we usually dont bring tanks along, they are too slow unfortunately, quickness and timing will be a neccessity.  We will have the Puma's transformed into APC's and outfit them with heavy weaponry on the assault Puma's.  One of the APC Puma's is being transformed into a command post since this is the sort of mission where timing and communications between troops will be essential." Balkazar said looking around to see if their's anything else.

The extra power helped but only marginally and the radiation was only partially penetrated.

"The extra power wasn't enough, I think closing the distance is the best solution," replied Dolan, "Also, it seems likely we will be flying blind into the system.  We might have to transport the marines by pure instinct.  We'll have to figure out how the Heraan managed to penetrate the radiation."

"I'll get right on it," replied Dolan.  He wished he could use the UEF interfaces since they were so much more convenient, but he couldn't and so had to make do with what he had.

After trying several methods that should have worked, Dolan said, "It seems the Heraan are jamming our sensors in addition to using the radiation as cover.  They sure know how to cover their tracks.  Anyone have the parameters for Heraani jamming signals?"

"I can't tolerate that droid," she spoke succinctly. "He's absolutely infuriating. I'm unable to work around him, because the urge to plunge my blade into his central processor is too great."

After waiting a moment, she added another comment. "I'd like to make a suggestion, not from soldier to officer, but from Gallifreyan to human. Keep him in line, or remove him from the corps as well. It's beings like him that start wars."

=^=Incomming Tranmsission Priority 1 From Starfleet Command. Visual only=^=

It has been brought to our attention that the Heraan have been building a 'lookout' outpost on a planet not to far away from this system.

Intelligance reports that the base in not yet fully operational but is heavily guarded by both anti air turrets and a planetary defence canon. There is also a small platoon of special ops guarding the building.

Station Avalon has not picked up any activity in the planets system as its sun is emmitting radiation that is blocking our sensors. So we can only rely on the intel we have recieved. The planet is M class with mostly shrubs and small lakes covering it.

Your mission is to take the marines to the planet and destroy the base before it becomes operational. You are to stay out of the battle as much as possible as that defense cannon can cause serious damage to starships in its orbit. You are to drop them off and get to a safe distance, while also staying in communication range incase to warn the marines of any extra company.

This mission is of utmost importance. Expect casualties.

Good luck and Godspeed.

After rematerialising in Transporter Room 1, Tom made his way to the turbolift, to which he said; "Deck One"

The lift began moving with almost no motion detectable by Tom as it rose through the decks towards the bridge. The ship was of an old design, but it had been well kept.

Stepping out onto the bridge, Tom nodded to the Captain and Richard before moving and taking his place at Ops, which in this case was in front of the Captain and next to Helm. "Captain. Lieutenant."

He began running the usual new-ship diagnostics, still annoyed at the happenings of earlier, but determined not to let it show.

"Alright, What was that transgression between you and HK on the Heraan vessel?.  Your supposed to be working together not threatening each other.  If I hear you even threatening another person or sentient being again I will inform your superiors and I will have you removed from this corp.  Do I make myself clear!"

"Just a little more... almost... damn!"

Raszagal struggled with getting her Khaydarin focus aligned just right. She made miniscule adjustments with a microprobe, but the alignment needed to be perfect. "One more time," she thought, "going... going... got it!"

The young Gallifreyan set down her microprobe, and finished reassembling the device. Giving it a solid toss into the air and catching it, she ignited her new khala and twirled it about her quarters for a bit, to get a feel for it. Each Gallifreyan weapon, while adhering to a standard design, was slightly different, and each had it's own distinct feel when the time for battle came again.

Raszagal sat on her customary mat, and began to meditate.

---===Important Message from Expansion Fleet Administration===---

We are beginning the final mission of the current Expansion Fleet story arc, and this mission will conclude the events that have been building for the past few years, some of which began at the launch of Expansion Fleet. This mission will yield an end to the Heraan War, and will be concluding the events of the entire game.

This gives us a unique opportunity, one that we've not explored before, nor have most of the Star Trek RPG's out there. We are going to be starting a new "series" of sorts, in much the same way a new Star Trek series precedes the last. This will give everyone the opportunity to start fresh, with all new characters, new backstories, and new sub-plots. We will even be introducing a new region of space, a new Starfleet space station, and an entirely new fleet.

For the duration of the final mission, due to the extremely cooperative nature of such a finale, we will be combining the posts of all four ships, as well as those of the Starbase Avalon personnel, into a single forum, to alleviate the need to read several forums at once. This mission is to be contained in it's own forum, located at the top of the list of Expansion Fleet vessels we are all familiar with. The new forum will move no one from their previous situations, but will direct them toward the goings-on of this finale. I will be posting a list of guidelines necessary in such a forum, please read those first before posting.

The new forum for the finale is located here: http://www.expansionfleet.com/cgi-bin....F;f=308

Thanks,
EF Admins
