Expansion Fleet - Avalon Archive

There will be no chances in Division Command, it will remain as Madison and myself, and no ships or stations from VF will be moved at the moment, only its crew transfered to perfered postions at Nova, and I will try and have a meeting with Major Embries if I can, and see when his time is free for a visit to DS20, I am sure Major Green would like an experienced officer in the science feild, though I know he has had experience as a Science Officer at Voyage Fleet.

I have moved all previous posts of the Voyage Fleet division forum to here, since it merged into this one.

Also today I will update the links (at last). Sorry for the long delay.

Thank you for your report. I have seen on other divisions as well, that many appear to be on leave during the summer, slowing down the missions. Surely it will pick up again in september/october.
Remember I myself will be offline on vacation for the entire month of august.

I had hoped it would be the U.S.S. Excalibur, but the Venture will be fine too I hope that the U.S.S. Excalibur will soon have sufficient crew again.

Report:
Ships Status: USS Nova Commisioned and Begun with Mission 1 (Benedict Fleet) SSF (Starfleet Special Forces) Ship Hunter also commisioned.

-James Madison, first temp. stationed SSF (Quantum Division) at Nova untill he had his own full division, then proposed to Merge now Nova and the SSF, there is now no need to work to get him an Ikonboard and division due to that, his rank was made Admiral, and my Co-Division Commanding Officer.

-We have had one major crewman dispute, involving the USS Aztec's CMO Blue Revan. After proposing the Aztecs Captain be replaced by the XO (And I add the Captain was and is very very active) two crewman went against the comment, causing dispute there, I proceeded to intervene and end the argument, where Revan simply refused to listen, to me nor Admiral Madison or the ship XO. The 2 crewman did not involve after I entered the situation, gladly. ending the event, Revan gave his opinion and resigned, banned afterwords.

For a new division, I report that we are doing extremly well, with a very good number of active crewmembers.

There have been no new discoveries.

Mission Report: Mission 1 (Benedict Fleet) has gone well, the USS Aztec early in the mission met with the Klingons, though as rumored, they were coming to use Bio-Weapons on Freedom Station, the Aztec and SSF Hunter disabled the ships, the Hunter destroyed one. Scans then gave evidence to a Klingon Station which constructed the Weapons, the Aztec took a Cloaking device, and thier Chief Engineer and Chief ops officer installed it. They then proceeded to beam onto the Station when arriving, the away team as well as a Marine team lead by Colonel Jean Starwind took a weapon, and engaged the Self-Destruction on the klingon station, many were wounded, Colonel Starwind suffered the worst Injuries.

Thank you for your information. I'm sorry for the delay, there were some preoccupations and some things got behind. I will make sure to write the announcement asap and modify the links.

Thank you for your outstanding report.

Yes, all admirals may have access to the "Admirals Only" and "Mission Planning" areas. Tell me which character should be given access, and I will see to it.

Secondly, the U.S.S. Rivendell is preparing to be launched for the first time, and will make a test flight to station Deep Space 20 of Nova Division. So you know that a visitor is coming. Adm. Vorak and Major Embries will be aboard too.

Report: CURRENT STARDATE:
                 57387.4                      May 21, 2380

(USS Excalibur) Chief Engineer Sam Norton was recalled from the ship after changing the mission and delaying it almost 2 days from beginning. After meeting with him we found he had planned to be an alien which could walk through walls and would transform into a wolf when shot with a phaser. The entire notion and actions he did at DS20 when taken there from the Excalibur were wild. He awaits a courtmarshall with Rear Admiral Travis and JAG Officer Commander Brahms. After his removal from the Excalibur mission, everything since has been running smooth, fun, and perfect.
 In addition to the Excalibur, please see my May 8th or so post in the Mission Planning forum here in Avalon Station. I am interested in where the excalibur can go. We were considering near the Loxians (concerning the Skytoucher and Evolutions dealings) and/or into the Delta Alliance to meet with a species there.

(USS Alamo) - A recent roll call, and contacting of some people who were not aware of our server change, made the few-days-unactive Alamo back the way it was. The mission is currently in Cardassian space (the Alamo [Nebula Class] will be our ship remaining from the Delta Quadrant for some time, and doing Alpha/Beta dealings)

(USS Venture-B) - We are currently beginning Refit on the decommisioned Venture [to be Venture-B after the refits]. We plan it to be Novas 2nd ship into the Delta Quadrant from our little nest in the Alpha.

 (Deep Space 20) - The station is running pretty well. The Marines popularity inspired Commodore Steven Cruse (Station XO/Operations CO) to transfer, so our new replacment for him is Captain Tom Paris, a dutie-less former Venture-A Crewmember, left without postion after its decommision. His experience as Venture Ops Chief makes him a good role for the postion. The Stations mission will be joint with the Alamos.

(Marines) - Our marine core has become amazingly popular since we invited General Charles Tucker (Former Voyage Fleet Marine CO) to lead up the marines. We have an entire MACO team, some officers have transfered, and some new officers have taken a career in the Marines.

USS Midway - the Midway was just completed today, it is the stations runabout, it is small and for private and minor travels and such, not considered among our starship fleet.

Aside from that, our division is running well, we are getting new crew quickly, and have a good deal of them already.
Every ship we have has all chief postions filled, save the Chief Engineer of the Excalibur. As well as some officers and assistants, helm, etc. We are looking to do Division joint missions, so if you know of any who are looking also please put us in contact!

We have decommisioned the USS Alamo - Nebula Class. This was due to its Captain (whom had threatened to do so) left. taking some of the crew and advirtising by pm of his own site. Which is highly disapproved of. The remaining crew were transfered to the USS Venture-B now doing a joint mission with Epsilons USS Endurance. That going fairly well. The XO of the Venture-B Jack Stewert is AWOL. The Chief of Tactical/Security of the Alamo is now the XO. Commander Tom Titan. The Excalibur is going well. Its crew active. The Station is not currently doing an active mission for shortage of crew. Many being one leave.

yes. As soon as we get the green we'll head for Avalon, whatever time is best for the story.

Thank you for the report. It looks like the division is starting off well, and hopefully the crewmen dispute will not repeat

Report:
We have received more new officers, and are very close to Comissioning the USS Venture
 New Officers:
Station Science Chief: Major Mark Green
 Division Marine CO: General (5-Star) Daniels
 USS Aztec CMO: Lieutenant Sisqo
 SSF Hunter Chief of Tac/Sec: Weasley Cook

Officers reported unactive: Lieutenant J.G. Johnathan Parker (Aztec Engineering Assistant)

We have also made 4 promotions due to the Venture's soon-to-come opening.
Commander Dean Starwind to Captain (Venture CO)
 Lt. Commander John Travis to Commander (Venture XO)
 Lt. Commander Marcus Brodie to Commander (Aztec XO)
 Captain Dutchman to Fleet Captain J.G. (Flagship[Aztec] CO)

Mission two on the Aztec has gone well as hoped, no disputes Division-Wide. Results on the Hearing of Commodore Steven Cruse ended that he would be suspended as Station XO for two weeks, and ordered to work on the Development Of the Venture for that time.
  Major Green as begun a Research Project on Hull plating to take heavy weapons damage, and high warp, I hope to engage Joint Missions with other Division Science Chief's, I am interested in your input as to the idea?
 Also, Admiral Alexander Dane, Supervisor of Omege Division has informed me that the USS Ticonderoga, new commisioned, will be making test runs, and meeting with the SSF Hunter under Admiral Madision and the Starfleet Special Force's.

Status Report:

The SSF-Hunter has an official Captain. Captain Howard. The hunter is and has destroyed a Ferengi outpost major to there operations against the Federation, War has been declared from them. The USS Aztec has found and are attempting to trade for information with a Ferengi ship. The USS Venture has encountered a strange being that is taking all power from the ship. Commander John Travis was injured. Crewman dispute with Captain Jim Bowie and the Bartender Max Tallon tallon briged and fired. Bowie carrying a knife for personal beliefs was not punished beyond knife taking. Bowie found in right of his actions against Mr. Tallon. Tallon's actions in the past were bad as well. new crew are Captain jim Bowe for internal Affairs. Lt. Colonel Sean Lupin, chief of Marines on the Aztec. Jean Starwind former chief transfered to Station under General Daniels. Daniels is going to be on the USS Venture for its mission with the Ferengi coming up. Security officer Jones on the Aztec promoted to Lt. J.G. Lupin made Marine chief for Starwinds transfir. Poromoted from 2nd Lt. To Lt. Colonel.

Commander Marcus Brodie awarded the Meritorious Service Medal for building a Transwarp Reacter now being used in the upcoming SSF-Alamo and USS Excaliber. Brodie did this while he was Chief Engineer on the Aztec. he is not the ships XO.

Minor question i have, is it Division COs that have access to the Admirals area on the HQ? Or if not what kind of Admirals do have access?

(Edited by Picard at 9:50 pm on April 10, 2004)

Ok, both now have access to both "Mission Planning" and "Admirals Only" forums on this board.

As for the missions. The missions of the ships that are directly related to Avalon Station (Skytoucher, Evolution, Rivendell) usually have missions in the Delta Quadrant. the same goes for the other divisions such as Starphoenix, Intel/FSS and Omega because their stations are deep in the Delta Quadrant, so that would make sense.
However, there is no problem that you make journeys to the Alpha/Beta Quadrant. We can assume that your station is located closer to the borders of the Alpha/Beta Quadrant?

A small dispute with the medical emergency on the station. the SSF-Alamo was called off of its mission to serve the sick person without any knowing it to be doing so. Resolved quickly.

The Station was under attack by newly found out rebels of the Ferengi Alliance. Working with rebels of the Romulan and Klingon empires. The Romulans came and explained, offering help. The USS Aztec is in the Demilirtized zone stoping a Maquis attack on a Cardassians. The USS Venture is under attack while finding path for the USS Excalibur's future mission to go slowly into the Delta Quadrant not using transwarp. The SSF- Alamo is currently docked at Avalon Station, its crew resting after transporting Vice Admiral Gary Fisher and Lt. Sam Sloan for important business.

Thank you for your report. What is the overall status of the Ferengi War at this moment?

Report:

We have done some work to make better ships. The USS Aztec and SSF-Alamo were changed. The USS Aztec was destroyed in battle. Its crew escaping. The SSF-Alamo as well. The crew of the Alamo and crew of the Aztec formed the USS Alamo. A few crewman disputes but nothing large took place during the change. As it was done fast due to our need to get going with it. The USS Alamo is a perfectly crewed ship. And is doing very well. The USS Excalibur is also well crewed with the USS Venture's (Now decommissioned) crew. All Chief positions are filled. As you read you see we are cutting back on ships. This was due to skeleton crews spread throughout all of the ships. So far it is working out fine. The USS Venture is going to me the USS Venture-B and will be modified. And commissioned long after the Excalibur. The USS Excalibur is complete and ready top depart by this weekend or next. All invited to see it.

-Task Force 10-
 Nova has for a little while had a sub-division, this called Task Force 10 (TF10)
 I am currently meeting with thier command about jointed missions with our division. I make a note to see of your support in this. We will end it if it will not work, or is not allowed. I do not plan on it effecting the rest of expansion, save you want it to. Only Nova.

I have one question regarding the USS Excalibur.

Was the Excalibur involved with the battle against the Na'jigat, at Starphoenix Base? It was during this time that I was absent, so I don't have a perfect overview of that mission yet.

I've looked in the USS Excalibur forum on Nova Division, but what I found was mission 2, about the Talonions, and then it suddenly jumps to mission 4, starting more than 2 months later. What happened in between with the Excalibur? Did anything happen regarding the Talonion called Tankalan?

Is the U.S.S. Excalibur going to be included in the mission of the Loxian attack on Avalon Station, and thereafter the reconstruction of Starphoenix Base?

I will make sure it does not

So if I understand well, the proboard system is no longer in use, and all Voyage Fleet activities have moved to the Nova Division?

Secondly, who is then currently in charge of the Nova Division, since both Nova and Voyage had their own Division CO's.

Also, are all ships of Voyage Fleet then transferred to the Nova division? And how about starbase galactic?

As for me visiting, as soon as the U.S.S. Rivendell-B is completed in the shipyards of Avalon Station, it will make a test flight to your station and back, and I will be aboard to make an official visit.

As for other science officers, there is a very competent science officer, Major Embries, aboard Avalon Station.

Ok, i will post here now. I am instead of Alexander Dane, James Madison there.

The names Picard and Tom Hobson, thank you Admiral. The SSF-Hunter will meet with the Rivendell when you enter 'nova' space. '

I also have a question. Are all divisions reqiured to have missions based on the new discovered space, the delta quadrant? I have no problem at all changing, only that I have not been following that, and I wonder if there is an option.

Thank you for this valuable information.

If you go to the Online Databases of the Expansion Fleet website, you will find a cartography section, where you can find everything about newly discovered territories and species. More info about those species and space anomalies can be found in the Online Databases too. If you're unsure about anything, just ask.

The Ferengi that attacked were either killedd in the battle or fled. They were later found as rebels. Allied with the Klingon omulan rebels. The Romulan empire informed us of it, the Ferengi have kind of backed out. As the Romulan Empire joined us. The Klingon rebels still are in high power. And attacked the Venture and DS 20

James what will the venture be modified to be?

I see no problems with having Task Force 10 as a sub-division in Nova. Joint divisions with your division, and other divisions if they agree as well, should be a great idea.

To all CO's and XO's of Expansion Fleet divisions:
Please post immediately in the Admiral's Only forum on this board, the Division activity topic. If you have no access to this forum, post here to let me know which username you need access with. Thank you.

Status Report:

Currently one of the largest things has been the recent change in captains of the USS Excalibur.
Captain Dutchman, was the captain of the excalibur, but apparently has been to preoccupied with his own (Gamma Division) area to continue as an active CO of that ship. We have replaced him effective now, so it will be no problem with the ships misson

We have also been in senior admirality talks in novas planning board on opening to USS Alamo-B for crew, we are short for now, any announcment you may be willing to make would help with that ship alot. Including the looking for a captain of it. We can't afford to promote other ship crew to that rank at this time.

A current joint mission between Nova and Alpha divisions is taking place, the marines have been sent to help in a mission with borg, last I saw it was not going its best, a few disagreements between who can and can't order who.

I have every confidence in you

A sad thing to report just not the Death of Captain Jim Bowie. He will be awarded the Red Crest during his burial

So if I understand well, the Ferengi that attacked you, did not work for their official government, but they were rebels?

That's unfortunate. But no problem. Basically the reason why I wanted to know is to know which ships were involved at the Starphoenix battle.

Me too, but with sudden change of Captains and with less crew than the Venture i think the best crewed ship should be on such a big mission. Also i will be sending on the Venture Admiral Fisher head of Starfleet Engineering.

Report: Voyage Fleet has chosen to Merge with Nova Division, it is getting quiet and slow, to save it this is being done, but it will be nothing like the Intell and FSS merge, all you would need to do would be to remove the VF link, and make an announcement if you wanted to.
 
 Updates: Earlier this morning, Commodore Steven Cruse XO of Deep Space 20 (Freedom Station) 'Hijacked' the decommisioned, and dangerously incomplete U.S.S. Venture, A ship we were working on designing, to aid the Aztec while it confronted a Romulan Convoy. Marine Chief on the Aztec, Colonel Jean Starwind, went to the Venture and quickly returned control, and detained Cruse. The Venture made it, with all luck, safe back to the base, where Cruse has chosen to defend himself in a Court Marshall. You may want to send JAG Officers, but i'll let that to you.
The Aztec has moved to Mission 2, a second part to the first mission almost, though not jointed as the first one was, with the Station and SSF Hunter.
New Crew Include:
Lieutenant (SSF) Sam Sloan
Lt. Commander (SSF) Brian dArcsaber
Ensign Indiana Jones
 Lieutenant Jr. Grade Johnathan Parker
and A.I.: S.T.A.R. (Systems Technical Artificial Running)
as well as a Mission Computer like thing (Event Horizon)
I will give my next report to update you on the Merge status, and Development Status of the USS Venture ASAP.
 
Also, I wish to Invite you to come to Nova, at Freedom Station, if possible, to perhaps see the progress yourself of the Venture, and the Division altogether, perhaps you may wish to view the Court Marshall.

Yes, but I will do a little research on the races here newfound, and interact with them more in the future.
Though with the rivendell, it will be coming at a time of crisis, we are beginning the 'Ferengi Wars' something we have been following since Mission 1 of the USS Aztec.
   Do you have an estimated arrival of the Rivendell?

A disturbing thing took place at a partial division of Nova Task Force 10. A member of theres beganto disturb us and other members of theres by pmed strange and angry pms. He was court marshalled but claimed all power and rank of Fleet admiral. He was openly insane though it is my own opinion he knew fully what he was doing. Just went about it like a madman. Today he claimed to us and the TF 10 people a Declaration as he put it 'Officially' at War. I do not know if he still intends to carry out anything on this. He has been banned from the major places he went to and claims to find a website. Which he has not given a url to. If it is found we will most likley report is harrassments and 'take over' of TF 10 with the TF 10 CO. I do not expect much fron this most likley empty threat nor do i think Expansion will be effected as the only Nova involvment is our presence at the court marshall. As we get more knowledge on the situation we will present it here.

No, no mission was with Starpheonix at that time. I can't explain the gap because its news to me as well. The mission may have been deleted without being moved to the archives. If so that is a mistake on our part.

It may be a good idea to include the Excalibur after the Loxian battle story is over, and the reconstruction of Starphoenix Base begins. That should give you some time to get together a crew again for the ship.
