That partly the reason I don't want to use those the ships. I been looking over the treaty about the Cloaking Device and there is a revision which goes passed the Dominion War.

For all knolodge, this cloaking device is neither a federation, kilgon, or romulan in origin. Have fun figure who built it.

It was. Ft. Adm. Hobson, the tech involved with creating this fast and adding to the ship is mainly located at Katorlian Space Station Denvor since that is the location of most of the systems componets.

The second reason is I know that Nove Engineering Department is beginning the construction of the Interceptor Project and I didn't want to inturrpt that.

Wait, wasn't this poll for just the crew of the Reliance???

And I don't like Steamrunners.

In 2311 the Federation signed the Treaty of Algeron, which reaffirmed the Romulan Neutral Zone and forbade the Federation from developing or deploying any cloaking technology.

Perhaps the most impressive example of cloaking technology was observed in 2364, when the supposedly mythical planet of Aldea was discovered by the Enterprise-D. The planet had been hidden for centuries behind a complicated light refracting mechanism which bent light around it in a similar manner to the Romulan cloaking device.

The Minosians were also known to employ cloaking technology as part of their Echo Papa 607 weapons system. The Enterprise-D was forced to battle a cloaked drone weapon in orbit of the planet; it overcame the cloaking device by luring the drone into the atmosphere where the turbulence made it visible.

Later in the same year the Romulan Warbird was encountered for the first time when the Enterprise-D encountered one at the Neutral Zone. It was initially believed that the Enterprise sensor systems could detect the Warbird through its cloak, but it quickly became apparent that the Romulans had in fact deliberately allowed themselves to be detected in order to determine the Federation's intentions towards them.

Subsequent encounters revealed that the improved cloaking device still suffered from limitations. The Romulan vessels remain unable to fire whilst cloaked, whilst advanced in Federation sensor technology have made its invisibility less than assured. Subspace listening posts and gravitic sensors are both a worry for Romulan commanders, and the Federation has deployed large numbers of these along its borders. Perhaps the most effective development was the Tachyon detection grid; created by Enterprise-D personnel in 2368, the system involves a network of vessels which send tachyon beams towards one another across a large area of space. Even a cloaked vessel will disturb one of these beams when crossing it, hence rendering it detectable.

In 2369 the Federation gained significant intelligence on the Warbird when a Starfleet officer masqueraded as a Romulan for a short time. She confirmed that the ship must keep a careful watch over its own electromagnetic missions whilst cloaked, and that the radiative emissions of the warp engines must be precisely balanced by means of nullifier cores. Even a small misalignment in one of these cores creates a polarized magnetic disturbance whenever the ship is in motion, a disturbance which can be detected by a Federation vessel.

Ironically, perhaps the greatest single advance in cloaking technology was made by the Federation. In 2358 the Starship Pegasus was believed destroyed after a mutiny by the crew. However, in 2370 Starfleet discovered that the Pegasus was still largely intact. Admiral Pressman, Captain of the ship at the time of its loss, attempted to recover some technology from the vessel using the Enterprise-D. It transpired that certain Federation officers had been illegally developing a Phase Cloak, a device which could change the structure of matter in order render it both invisible and able to pass through normal matter. A vessel equipped with such a device could hide within a planet or a star, completely immune from conventional attack. The crew had been so fearful of what they considered to be a dangerous device that they had mutinied rather than continue to operate it.

In 2368 the Enterprise assisted a Romulan vessel in distress, and discovered that this vessel had also been attempting to test a phase cloak. The results had been disastrous, causing an accident that would have completely destroyed the ship if not for the assistance of the Starfleet vessel. There has since been little sign of progress with this technology.

In 2371 the Romulans agreed to allow Starfleet the use of a single cloaking device on board the USS Defiant in order to facilitate that ships missions against the Dominion, in return for all of Starfleet's information about the organization. Although the original agreement was to only use the cloak in the Gamma Quadrant, Captain Sisko subsequently violated this aspect of the agreement on many occasions.

Well, there are plans on a Mark 2 of the class so it may go farther up. Hint...Hint... Command staff meeting tomorrow over there.

btw: which ship class?

(This is no Alpha Fleet Marines anymore. We all went to Star Pheonix and no longer have the name of Marine Intell. I was under orders by Yates under my other account to being these two to you. That all of my orders and I completed it.


Now for these two here, they may be delayed for a while since there is no ship in this area to leave on unless your giving them some runabouts or shuttles. For what goes on at your station, your wrong, Chris Newberry, my other account knew what was going on to a pretty good point before leaving.

Now bye bye.)

Thank You Colonel, and myself and M. General Wanner will be coming along. I have sent a message out to an old friend and we may have a Excalibur Mark 2 class ship helping out for an exit vector and for a main assult on the base when where ready.

Let´s just say for now that his ship is currently doced at Tyrus Station and under going the last repairs from when it was better beat up.

I thinks this meeting can ba ajourned now if it ok with you Admiral Yates?

OCC: Sorry about that. I forgot I was still log in as Alex Newberry and not the Chris Newberry one.

OCC: oh, this is where you landed at. The Hanger Bay is the only are that has be repairs at the moment.

Balk, check your messager.

OCC: Mr. Raynor, the Reliance marines will be beaming down. Intelligence wants you and your marines for something I have no idea for and don't want to know. That is all I know for now.

10 Minutes Later

The USS Lothlorien was already at high warp heading to the Starpheonix base on Dantor.

Alex: Helm, eta to Dantor?

Helm: 1 hour 20 minutes sir at present course and speed.

Alex: Thank you. Lt. Harf, keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary. I was informed why SP base was abandon anyways.

OCC: If I got the planets name wrong I am sorry. My mistake but I know it was something around Dan

Fire Mr. Harf, said Alex.

: Yes. I just notice my error when it was too late. That what I do when I have very little time to post.

OCC: It fine with me. I was going to start the reconstruction of StarPheonix base anyways but after the radiers are through the next mission will be Rebuild StarPheonix. GreyWolf can then get involved with the USS Amsterdam coming from TFGamma and I think the USS Delphia A will be coming as well from there.

OCC: Ok. Form what i notice by the reporting in si that Mrs. Hawkens, i8s the Chief Helm Officer and Lt. yar is the CEO. Oh, Lazingness can be counted but Xmas is a better excuse.

ON:

Welcome back and now to continue to where we are heading.
