Thank you sir.

[Arthur Nimitz]

because Svensson gave him admin access.

The CO should be Duncan McCloud, normally...
And who was going to do updates on the crewroster webpages?

Ok guys, here's the deal as I see it for the ships Blackfire and Dragon:

 1) Kzahara Station has disappeared.  Well, I can't find it.  Did it get lost when the boards merged?
 2) The Blackfire/Dragon away team should beam back and the mission should continue without further delay.  However, who will be playing the part of that Romulan agent Gri Tall?

 3) Is the Dragon prepared to continue the mission?

(Answer me, these questions three, and happy I will be. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>   )

Admiral Vorak:

Thanks!  I eagerly await the Blackfire stats from General Mason.  I will also scrutinize the Expansion Factor board again for the station posts.  Also, last I knew the Dragon was in orbit with the Blackfire above the station, but I could be wrong- I'll read the station logs to confirm the Dragon's posts.  In the meantime I have asked, and will ask, on all those boards that the crewmembers report in again to me as a courtesy.  If you hear from them, direct them my way please.

BTW: Nish seems to be a good poster- thanks for letting me have her guys!

Now, since the original ship specs were too fragmented to put into detail, I have changed the type of ship that the Blackfire is.

The Blackfire is a Defiant Class. I chose this class because it is the only ship in starfleet with a legal cloaking device. Also, the crew compliment is smaller which helps the FSS section a bit.
I will try to come up with specs for the Dragon as well.

OFF: Vorak, are there any specs for the Phoenix?

Here goes.

I'm sending pics to you via email now.  They've been cropped and altered to be suitable for use as Blackfire images.  Use what you wish.

Well, I'd hate to see members leave but if that's what you want Mr. Foster. Farewell Live long and prosper.

OFF: Just to let you all know, the first Expansion Yearbook is now available on the Expansion online store. It includes a bunch of articles and biographies, and alot of "mission logs" too of missions of the past year. And there's gonna be a second one later this year, including lots of missions from the Avalon, Starphoenix, Intel, FSS and Omega division.
Don't forget that when you buy a yearbook, you help support expansionfleet.com

2. Gri Tall was played by the same person who played Trell. Though I haven't seen him around for awhile, so I don't know if he is still with us or not. Even though, it could be assumed that Gri Tall is found and beamed back to the FIS Blackfire with the away team.

3. It seems that the crew of the Dragon had last beamed over to the FIS Blackfire, who lead the mission in this case. So where exactly the Dragon is, I'm not sure. As for the crew, its pretty much empty still.

As for ship type and specs on the FIS Blackfire, I doubt those were ever really created. But Jonathan Mason may perhaps know more about that.
