*IMPORTANT - If you can't make the mission, please be sure to contact either Ulrich or Selina privately in IM either through Discord (preferred) or in Second Life. It is common courtesy and allows planning to account for your lack of participation.*

The following information is 'In Character' information.

USS Shogun has started out again, now with plans to find and disable as many of the Telepathic Empire’s stations as possible. The belief is it will severely hinder their ability to exert control.

Our interference and destruction of the station has not gone unnoticed. Patrols of Telepathic Empire ships have started looking for us. We both have to dodge their patrols and find ways to safely destroy their bases (Safely for us, we don’t really care about keeping the Telepathic Empire safe, screw ‘em).


The following is OOC:

1.Each group will be expected to give a report at the start of the mission.

2.We must find an efficient way to dispatch the satellites

3.There is a good chance they will be guarded/protected in some way. It is unlikely this will be as easy as the first time.

4.We want to minimize the possibility of the T.E. being alerted and more brought in.

5.Depending on the situation a SMALL team may be sent into to destroy the station (it may be necessary to lay charges inside it. They will check for any new information.

6.The station must be destroyed, but not until it is fully studied and information taken that could help protect others, the crew, and potentially end the reign of the Telepathic Empire.

7.We are role playing, so you need to consider how your character will react to the information given and what impact it will have on your relationships, realities, and life.

8.Welcome to USS Shogun where we do take damage, we do have danger to deal with, and we don’t always win.Of course, when complete destruction is a possibility, we have to win.

9.Space held by other potentially Warp Capable species always carries risks. Although slipstream is a new development for us, there is no guarantee that others don’t already have it and it is possible they could arrive at any moment.

8. Please follow CoC and remember that ideas, etc. are great, but they still have to be cleared with your Chief and with the Command Staff before implemented. This is an ensemble piece and as a result not every idea can be used, especially as things often have to be incorporated into a larger plot-line system.

9. Finding items (gamma radiation, evidence of other species we've encountered) is at your discretion. Don't go crazy, but have fun. I trust you to tie things in with other mission threads, please make sure things fit.

10. Hit point meters are NOT required. Please behave accordingly if you feel that you could be injured, etc.

11. All personnel on duty should in the bridge by 230312.0755 SLT. Please remember some members are working VERY LATE AT NIGHT (1am until 3am), be respectful of their time and efforts to be with us.

*These duties are very general ideas, feel free to add to them and fill things in.

* Please allow people to do their jobs and be thoughtful of the fact that people join departments and divisions to do their jobs. Try not to step on their functions. If you have something to help someone (advise that they may or may not follow) instead of saying something publicly, it might be more useful to IM them and discuss it with them.

* Departments should be working together. There should be enough possibilities for everyone as long as they all work together and cooperatively. Do not be afraid to do OOC planning in IM.

* This is more or less freeform, but please don't have it as "Q did this". We need to get ourselves out of our own jams (not that this has ever been a problem with this crew).

Official Mission Log
Commanding Officer,
CAPT Ulrich Bechir Recording


Stardate 230626.1114

Alert Status: RED

Block: 005C
Relative Location: 111.92 LY from Pinastri

Mission Log:

After sweeping the sector, we managed to find a Telepathic Empire space station. The station was patrolled by several ships, including Destroyers. We engaged one and managed to scan the hull in an attempt to pretend we were one after we destroyed it. Sadly, our ruse was quickly seen through.

In the meantime, we had an away team on the station we found, they gleaned information and managed to set charges to destroy the station.

After defeating three other Telepathic Empire ships (a tricobalt torpedo MAY have been involved) we retrieved our mostly intact Away Team and ran off, setting off the charges as soon as other Telepathic Empire ships were in the vicinity of the station.

Information pulled from the station confirms that the Federation is only the first target of the Telepathic Empire, they also plan to subdue the Kazon and Romulans as well.
