*Some time later, the Torran fleet and the ASC Revox arrive at Naederian space. They instantly begin their attack on the Naederian planet.*

This is the most up-to-date crewroster for this ship, just to give everyone an easy overview. In this topic I will always post updates if changes occur to the crew complement.

"Starfleet does not apply the technology of null-space catapults. Hmm, we will have to offer them this technology, to avoid the need of high warp speed. But the emergency at Starphoenix Base is too great, and in three days from now there may be nothing left to defend. Warp 4 will not be enough. Start up the emergency speed engines!"

OFF: generally D.A. ships never travel higher than warp 3.999 and that only if really necessary. This is from the D.A. regulations:
General Order 6
No space vessel shall, under any circumstances, accelerate speed higher than warp factor 3.999 without express permission from the High Queen's Council. If possible, warp speed must always be avoided, if Transport Catapults are available.

This excerpt is taken from the databases under the Traquel species information:
Though they are still experimenting with transwarp technology, they have already been able to build starships capable of warp 9.9999 constantly without overheating the warp drive. When they joined the Delta Alliance, they made this technology available to all other members, until they discovered that high warp speeds damage subspace. This being the opposite of what the Delta Alliance stands for (to preserve the balance of nature and the universe), a new rule was created that warp speeds as of warp 4 and higher were no longer permitted without express permissions.
Since it was agreed that warp speeds of warp 4 and higher were no longer permitted within Delta Alliance space, considereable problems appeared for traders and such. Therefore, the Traquel decided to work on an alternative to the warp 9 drive. For several years, they worked on prototypes of a "Null Space Catapult". However, it did not appear to be succesfull each time. At one of the field tests, one of the Traquel named Tash, suddenly faced some spatial anomaly that threw him into Deep Space. Instead of undertaking the journey back home for years, he decided to complete the catapult project, in which he was succesfull. After his return to Traquel space, production of the Null Space Catapults began for everywhere in the Delta Alliance. This is now the main form of transportation.

Note that security vessels, such as the ASC Revox, does have emergency engines that go faster than warp 4, in case an emergency occurs that requires fast response, while being in deep space or at too far a distance from a catapult, or in case the nearest catapult is malfunctioning. Normally this does not go without express permission of the High Queen, but we'll face charges later http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

"Permission granted, welcome aboard Mr. Hidare. Were you sent by HQ to get a position on board my ship? If so, what kind of position would you prefer?"

OFF: Ok, we should be heading back to the borders of D.A. space somewhere in the near future, to be ready for an upcoming storyline at the right time.

"Very well, status report, everyone?"

"In fact, the honour of docking our ship here for the first time, is a honour that you deserve no less. So I bestow the honour upon you, Mr. Hirade."

"Yes, Ms. Webber, that is indeed our famous null space catapult. We need to head for the Temples of Sordinan, near the Quantum Singularity Network. They have the largest libraries there, and I hope to find some answers in their books."

I'm not sure, we'll probably be received by the Ambassadors soon.

*The ship shakes heavily, and several panels explode. Ardwyad is thrown out of his chair, his head bumping into the wall. His face coloured with blood, he falls down and feels he is about to lose consciousness... his body feels broken everywhere, and he can no longer move... He looks up at Marianne Webber, and tries to speak...*
"May this be the day... of where it will be said, that the Delta Alliance was willing to trust their new Starfleet allies... Ms. Webber... as my first officer... you have now command over the ship... even though you're not a Delta Alliance member... The Queen may hang me for this... but for that we need to get out of here alive to begin with... Please do what you can..."
*And then he lost consciousness.*

OFF: I will post again when I return from my vacation, in september (so no I'm not going to die, I'll just be unconscious for the time). Meanwhile Webber can keep control over the mission - but make sure it is consistent with the storylines of the other ships involved (Evolution, Rivendell, Sphinx, Starphoenix Base...)

*At that moment, a response comes in from Avalon Station.*

=^= Granted ASC Revox, please proceed to docking bay 3. =^=

"Mr. Hirade, how about you get the ship into docking bay 3?"

OFF: I copied the response from Avalon Station (Starfleet HQ board / Docking Bays forum) from the person who posted it there.

OFF: no problem http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> This should be fun to visit Avalon Station http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

"Fairly quick, seeing that the distance is rather short. We should be there in about 10 minutes."

OFF: Continue at topic mission 3 http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

*Ardwyad was looking over the incoming reports, and was paying special attention to any information related to the Na'jigat.*
"This energy species can present a serious danger to the Delta Alliance and Starfleet both. We need to find out more about them, if we want to be able to defend ourselves from them. The only place I can think to hold any possible information about them, are the gigantic libraries at the Temples of Sordinan. Set course for Delta Alliance space, Nigillian territory, the planet Sordinan!"

OFF: the Delta Alliance Grade 3 officer avatar http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
OFF2: yes if you want to hail the station, you will have to post the hail both here and on there, so you'd have to register your username there as well. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

"Yes, inform the station of our arrival."

OFF: sorry for my absence, things have been very busy and will continue to do so for the next 6 days before I go on vacation. And then I won't be online for my entire vacation, which will be the entire month of august.
