List of USS Equilism Mission Orders

Mission Title Mission Brief
The New Era To: Cmdr. Lodo Ashe, CO USS Equilism

From: Fleet Admiral Jerry Taylor
Stardate: 10807.16
Subject: Mission Orders

Greetings Commander Ashe,

Welcome to your first command, and congratulations on the promotion. A new era has begun for Starfleet: the exploration of the Delta Quadrant. You know the USS Voyager returned from the Delta Quadrant recently. They've collected a great deal of information, but we know they also destroyed the transwarp network and the Unicomplex together with the Borg queen.

Your first mission is to explore the vicinity of the position where the Kemaris Station will be situated. I'll join you in this first survey until the station is completed. Because the planets are uncharted, there will also be the opportunity to send research teams to survey those planets. We don't expect any problems, but keep an eye out regardless. Good luck on your first mission Commander!

Greetings Commander Ashe,

Your first mission was a succes. You rescued the survivors of the long lost USS Caliban. Starfleet has dispatched a few ships to recover the remains of the Caliban. We'll also take care of the survivors.

One of our explorer vessels discovered a nebula 4 light years from the station, which could give us more understanding of the fabrics of space. I want you to go there and explore the nebula. Gather as much information and samples as possible. This also will be a mission for your crew to get to know the Equilism. Report any unusual information to me. I'll be at Kemaris Station.

Greetings Commander Ashe,

I'm not very pleased on how you got the Equilism back to Kemaris Station. I expect you and your senior staff to report to the Conference Lounge at Kemaris Station for a full report at 1400 hours.

Station's personnel will work on the repairs of the Equilism.

Greetings Commander Ashe,

Congratulations with your promotion! The Equilism has been repaired by Starfleet Engineering Corps and is now ready for departure. Because of the delicacy of the mission I'd like you and your Executive Officer to report to my office for further information.

Loose Change To: Captain Lodo Ashe, CO USS Equilism

From: Fleet Admiral Jerry Taylor
Stardate: 10905.07
Subject: Mission Orders

Greetings Captain Ashe,

Captain, there is some unfinished business in the wake of your last mission.

We have discovered that an unidentified starship has apparently been observing the actions of our reconstruction teams. The lead vessel in that effort, USS Loyola detected the unidentified ship three days ago but has been unable to make contact. Loyola is an older, Ambassador -class vessel and is not outfitted to pursue and engage a vessel of unknown strength and intent.

Rendezvous with the Loyola outside of the system and debrief her CO, Captain Aziz.

Using that information, investigate the origin of this ship and try to open diplomatic channels.

First Impressions To: Capt. Lodo Ashe, CO USS Equilism

From: Vice Admiral Alis Rimo
Stardate: 11006.07
Subject: Mission Orders

Captain Ashe,

Your last mission was certainly an eventful one. The sensory data you acquired is being analyzed by Starfleet Tactical, and I expect we will return to the topic when the analysis is completed. Meanwhile, the Equilism is to conduct a mission of entirely different character.

Two days ago the USS Polo recorded warp signatures emanating from the Kappa Jua system. This solar system is located within our area of operations and the civilization previously registered as prewarp, so contact with them was obviously avoided. Their discovery of warp travel gives us the opportunity to approach them and make our peaceful intentions clear, and lay the groundwork for later diplomatic co-operation.

Your orders are to initiate first contact with the civilization in the Kappa Jua system.

Upgrade Error To: Commander Elar Nivo, CO USS Equilism

Subject: Mission Orders

Commander Nivo,

These are your mission orders for a scientific mission. After the upgrades have been completed have the Equilism leave spacedock and set a course heading 014 mark 268, warp 5. That should take us to an asteroid field in 1 days and 17 hours. Investigate the area for any useful material.

The One To: Captain Elar Nivo, CO USS Equilism

From: Vice Admiral Alis Rimo

Subject: Mission Orders

Captain, I have an emergency mission for you.

Since the sabotage of the Equilism we have been detecting strange readings on the outer edges of our sensor coverage. Now one of our vessels has been destroyed. I don't think any of these events are coincidental.

As you have probably heard, the USS Manchester, a Nebula class ship, was mapping the Lusis system when it detected a heavily armed vessel approaching at high speed, ignoring their hails. Unsure of the vessel’s intentions, the Manchester issued a call for support, to which the Intrepid class USS Industrious responded.

By the time the Industrious arrived, the alien ship had severely damaged the Manchester. An engagement ensued, and the Industrious successfully won the Manchester enough time to repair it’s warp engines and escape. Unfortunately, though the alien ship suffered major damage, the Industrious was destroyed. Captain Claud Bourchier and his crew are to be posthumously commended for their heroic sacrifice.

I have had a good chunk of the Delta Fleet out in the area for three days, and now the USS Aeon has located the vessel orbiting the third planet of the Zenod system, not far from the Lusis system. Captain Rivers is still in the area, and will be on hand should you require additional support.

Your mission is as follows.

You will head for the Zenod system and engage the attackers. Attempt to disable them, and then search for information as the situation warrants.
