STH_borg.8.desc:0 “Through the process of assimilation, the Collective accumulates vast quantities of data that must be collated and archived. Periodic review of information stored in auxiliary data nodes may yield §Gnew technological advances§! that can be assimilated into our own. If no distinctiveness can be found, the £unity£ §YUnity§! of the Collective will be increased instead.”
STH_borg.103.desc:0 “The Collective has assimilated individuals from the [from.GetName] species, designated §Y[from.GetBorgSpecies]§!, for the first time. Their biological distinctiveness has been added to our own.”
STH_borg.106.desc:0 “Sufficient individuals from [from.GetBorgSpecies] have been assimilated that the marginal research benefits have reached a plateau. While bringing perfection to more of [from.GetBorgSpecies] will still be to the advantage of the Collective, we must extend ourselves to assimilate new races if we wish to improve upon our perfection.”
STH_borg.301.desc:0 “Our forces have conquered [FROMFROM.GetName] from the Collective, but the challenge of handling the remaining drones on the planet is immense. As this world was originally part of the [FROM.GetName], one option would be return control to the [FROM.GetSpeciesNamePlural]. Alternatively we could keep the world for ourselves and risk being overrun by the drone population.”

STH_borg.1004.desc:0 “The recent capture of [FromFrom.GetName] cannot be sustained so long as the Unicomplex remains intact. Too many security systems may lie dormant before potentially assimilating our personnel aboard the facility.To eliminate this risk we must demolish [From.GetName]. We can do so in a way that will maximise our recovered resource potential, or in a way that will increase reverse-engineering potential from the remaining Borg technology.”
STH_borg.1007.desc:0 “The [LastKilledCountryName] have been destroyed, and with their loss the galaxy has been made safer.Picking through the ruins of the [LastKilledCountryName]’s ships and worlds will take months, but the potential for technological gain is significant.”
STH_borg.1050.desc:0 “The deconstruction of the colony on [from.GetName] is complete. Structures have been disassembled into their raw materials while the population has been assimilated and relocated to other habitats.”
STH_borg.1053.desc:0 “Our operation to assimilation the colony belonging to species who have designated themselves as [FROMFROM.GetName] has alerted them to the collectives presence. They are mobilising their defences is preparation to begin an assault on the collective. Threat level has increased, we will prepare offensive operations, their resistance will be futile, they will adapt to service the collective…”
STH_borg.5001.desc:0 “In the wreckage of a Borg vessel our engineers have uncovered an intact Transwarp node complete with computer algorithm that allows the safe navigation of these treacherous tunnels through space. Our scientists believe they can reverse engineer the tech and allow us to use Borg Transwarp Conduits to travel through space.”
STH_borg.6002.desc:0 “We have successfully completed assimilation of a captured ship. Its technology and crew now service us. The vessel has been reconfigured to match the perfection of the Borg, and is now ready for assignment at [Root.Capital.GetName].”
STH_borg.6003.desc:0 “Our new military is now ready for deployment as a fully assimilated Borg ship. This vessel will now service the Collective.”
STH_borg.6004.desc:0 “A Cube marks the pinnacle of Borg perfection, our drones have combined the imperfect designs of lesser ships to adapt and now service us and allowed for the construction of a new Borg Cube. Its construction brings us one step closer to perfection and to impart that perfection on others.”
STH_borg.6005.desc:0 “Our tactical drones managed to successfully board the alien vessel and begin assimilation protocols, however the indigenous species have resisted assimilation and joining the perfection of the Borg. They have managed to secure control of the ship’s auto-destruct mechanism and have destroyed the vessel.”
STH_borg.6006.desc:0 “Despite the destruction of the target, our drones managed to obtain a number of valuable materials that can be used to service the Collective.”
STH_borg.6007.desc:0 “Warning! Before the enemy ship self-destructed, its crew managed to upload a virus into the neuroprocessor of a defeated drone. This virus was inadvertently transmitted back to [borg_assimilator_vessel.GetName], causing it to explode. The offending code has been isolated and removed. We will adapt to this loss.”
STH_borg.6008.desc:0 “Our attempts to fully assimilate one of the captured ships were not successful and the target was lost. However our drones were able to board the ship and obtain useful resources and technology to further aid the Collective in addition to new drones to service the collective. The loss is irrelevant.”
STH_borg.6101.desc:0 “The destruction of the tactical asset designated [FromFrom.GetName] has allowed us to analyse the weaponry used against the Collective. All vessels will divert combat resources to defensive systems while adaptations are processed. We are the Borg. Resistance is futile.”
STH_borg.6102.desc:0 “We have successfully destroyed a Borg vessel, and it appears that their remaining forces are temporarily focusing on defense in an attempt to buy time to adapt. Our forces are performing emergency cycling of all weapons frequencies to counteract the Collective’s tactics, but the process will take a few days to complete.”
STH_borg.6201.desc:0 “The [borg_invaded_ship.GetName] is reporting that is has lost contact with its engineering section with temperatures reaching 39.1 degrees celsius, shortly after this report we lost contact with the ship. Sensor readings suggest that Borg drones were beamed on board the ship shortly before the destruction of their ship. The Borg will look to establish a collective onboard the ship and attempt to take control of the vessel. The crew will either look to initiate the self-destruct or the riskier approach which is to fight off the drones.”
STH_borg.6202.desc:0 “In a meaningless display of resistance, an enemy ship that was boarded by [borg_assimilator_vessel.GetName] has self-destructed, denying its primitive crew the gift of assimilation.”
STH_borg.6203.desc:0 “As the enemy vessel [borg_invaded_ship.GetName] attempted to disengage, [borg_assimilator_vessel.GetName] successfully beamed a group of drones aboard. The drones will commence assimilation protocols and begin the assimilation of the target. Its technological distinctiveness will be adapted to service us.”
STH_borg.6205.desc:0 “The last transmission from the [borg_invaded_ship.GetName] indicated that the Borg had control over 90% of the ship, including navigation and the ships engines. We must presume that the crew have been either killed or have suffered a worse fate. The ship has powered up its engines and disappeared leaving only a transwarp signature heading deep into Borg territory where the Borg will complete the assimilation of our ship.”
STH_borg.6206.desc:0 “We are receiving a transmission from our missing ship, it appears they were successful in repelling the Borg invasion of their ship. The Collective has suffered a mighty defeat today and a line has been drawn… this far and no further! With control re-established over the ship it has been returned to full operational readiness. We may even be able to learn from some of the leftover Borg technology.”
STH_borg.6207.desc:0 “Efforts to assimilate the [borg_invaded_ship.GetName] were unsuccessful. All drones assigned to this task have been neutralized by enemy defenders. Resetting target priority and updating drone expenditure projections to compensate.”
STH_borg.6300.desc:0 “During our assimilation of the [From.GetName], the Collective successfully abducted an individual from the enemy’s primitive leadership hierarchy. This drone’s mind possesses extensive data regarding its species’ technology and battle strategies. We have assimilated this leader, now designated §G[FromFrom.GetName]§!, to facilitate operations against the §H[FromFromFrom.GetName]§!.Assign leader directive.”
STH_borg.6301.desc:0 “In a disastrous turn of events, our leader aboard the [From.GetName] has been abducted and assimilated by the Borg. [FromFrom.GetSheHeCap] has hailed our forces, demanding our immediate surrender. We must consider the dire reality that we are now fighting against the knowledge and experience of the person [FromFrom.GetSheHe] once was.”
STH_borg.6302.desc:0 “In a textbook display of cunning and decisive action, crew from the [From.GetName] have successfully prevented §G[FromFrom.GetName]§! from being assimilated by the Borg. Though the loss of the [From.GetName] is unfortunate, [FromFrom.GetName] has vowed to take the fight back to the Borg as soon as [FromFrom.GetSheHe] is assigned to a new command. We were very lucky today.”
STH_borg.7001.desc:0 “The [borg_invaded_fleet.GetName] is collapsing into chaos now that the Borg have adapted to the last of its weapons. We are receiving reports of Borg drones on nearly all remaining ships. Security teams are attempting to repel the invaders, but should they be defeated it is likely we will lose the fleet to the Collective.”
STH_borg.7002.desc:0 “Despite the best efforts of our crews, the Borg presence throughout the [borg_invaded_fleet.GetName] was too strong and our defences were overrun. We are flagging the fleet as lost and potentially hostile.”
STH_borg.7004.desc:0 “We are receiving a transmission from the [borg_invaded_fleet.GetName], it appears they were successful in repelling the Borg invasion of their ships. The Collective has suffered a mighty defeat today and a line has been drawn… this far and no further! With control re-established over the fleet it has been returned to full operational readiness. We may even be able to learn from some of the leftover Borg technology.”
STH_borg.7005.desc:0 “Our fleet was able to partially defeat the Borg, but unfortunately the [borg_invaded_fleet_ship.GetName] was lost with all hands in the process. The remaining ships were able to rid themselves of the Borg incursion and escape the battle.”
STH_borg.7006.desc:0 “We have fully adapted against the [borg_invaded_fleet.Owner.GetName]’s [borg_invaded_fleet.GetName]. Scans indicate it no longer has sufficient ships or crew to resist direct assault via mass-transport of tactical drones. Remodulate all transporter beams to penetrate enemy shields. Prepare drones for deployment.”
STH_borg.7007.desc:0 “In an act of desperation, a fleet engaging our forces self-destructed its ships rather than allow them to be assimilated. The loss of deployed drones is irrelevant. We will adapt.”
STH_borg.7008.desc:0 “Tactical drone numbers were insufficient, resulting in failure to assimilate the enemy fleet. Regroup and pursue targets.”
STH_borg.7009.desc:0 “We have secured control of the [From.GetName]. We will begin analyzing and assimilating its biological and technological distinctiveness. Approximately 30 to 90 computing cycles required for this task. Irrelevant vessels will be disassembled for resources. Remaining vessels will be adapted to service us.”
STH_borg.7010.desc:0 “We have analyzed several vessels from recently captured fleets and found no further distinctiveness worth assimilating. These ships have therefore been redirected to [Root.Capital.GetName] for disassembly. The resources and drones aboard will be redistributed throughout the Collective, bringing us closer to perfection.”
STH_borg.7020.desc:0 “Assimilation Protocols Completed. Drones aboard asset designated [borg_ship_convert.GetName] have completed the assimilation of the vessel and are ready to return the unit to [Root.Capital_scope.GetName] to complete its full integration into the collective.Secondary protocols now engaged…”
STH_borg.9001.desc:0 “Our forces report that they have concluded the orbital bombardment of §H[From.GetName]§!. All active Borg drones have been deactivated and the Borg structure appears powerless and in ruin. We now have to make a decision on what to do with the structure. The safest option is to destroy what remains of the facility and lay to rest the drones that were once individuals, however our scientists are eager to get their hands on the technology which would greatly boost our own.”
STH_borg.9002.desc:0 “A fleet belonging to the §H[From.From.GetName]§! has destroyed §H[From.GetName]§!. All Borg units have been rendered inoperable. Our adaption algorithms were unable to adapt quickly enough to neutralise threat. Target losses are unacceptable, appropriate counter-measures engaged.Resistance must be brought to acceptable levels, further loss to the Collective cannot be permitted.”
STH_borg.9003.desc:0 “§G[borg_facility_leader.GetName]§! has reported back from their assignment on the derelict Borg facility with positive news, they have successfully managed to tap into a fraction of the Collectives database and download terrabytes of valuable research information from under the nose of the Collective. The research crews are eager to leave the strange facility as soon as possible.”
STH_borg.9004.desc:0 “[Root.GetRulerTitle] we have worrying news from the [borg_science_ship.GetName], we have lost all communications from the ship, the last transmission we received was an update log and then a broken communication from the ship. It appears they attempted to bring a number of dead drones back onboard the [borg_science_ship.GetName] for further study.Worryingly the last message we received was a broken distress call from the second officer reporting that [borg_facility_leader.GetName] had been assimilated and that the Borg now controlled over 95% of the ship.

STH_borg.9007.desc:0 “It appears that the Borg have invested the considerable resources of the collective into adapting to our defenses, it appears are shields currently offer little protection against their weaponary.”
STH_borg.9008.desc:0 “Adaption Protocol Engaged. Enemy defenses have been analysed and tactical weaknesses have been assessed. Our tactical threat has been increased for a short duration.”
STH_borg.9009.desc:0 “We have successfully managed to re-modulate our shields, removing the increased damage the Borg are able to inflict on our vessels. “
STH_borg.9010.desc:0 “Assimilation Target has adapted its defenses. Collective weapon threat has returned to regular levels. Continue assimilation drive. Their resistance is futile.”

Grunting, the Captain turns and talks at length on the economic factors to consider, whilst the Science Officer pulls up statistics that show arguments both for and against the point. The debate continues for a further two hours, with insults being bandied around and more members of the bridge crew getting involved. Pros and cons are listed on the main screen, and surveys and statistics are twisted and manipulated to serve all sides of the argument as the debates remain varied and heated. Finally, Captain [officer.GetName] clangs a pad on [officer.GetHerHis] console and declares: ‘We shall create a computer simulation, and that will show us who is right!’, silencing the bridge and ordering each Department head to spend a week of their free time working on the programme.”

STH_tellarite_flavour.101.desc:0 “Nearly five hundred Tellarite years ago, the Voice Wars laid waste to much of Tellar. What began as a healthy competition to create the most effective language to engage in debate with, the various nations soon escalated the contest into outright war. Eventually the use of chemical agents brought the death toll to a devastating hundred million. Only through the courageous efforts of the ‘Conspiracy of Heroes’ was Tellar able to find peace. Led by Semesh glasch Yov, a general of the United Provinces of Koyen and her rival Bursh chim Balkar, an admiral of the Nivel Republic, the Conspiracy simultaneously deposed the leadership of the largest Tellarite nations and signed an immediate armistice. Today, many Tellarites across the [Root.GetName] feel that the Voice Wars have been forgotten.

Amazingly, it appears the fortress survived the destruction of Xindus thanks to the presence of hundreds of primitive structural integrity field generators across its exterior. The internal surveillance grid shows the Xindi-Aquatic garrison surviving for nearly twenty years before life support failed following the exhaustion of fortress’ deuterium power reserves.

The logs contained several years worth of high resolution images of the surface of Xindus, and the station’s food stores were found to hold a large number of Len’ka Aphid embryos that were once considered a delicacy among Xindi-Insectoids.”
STH_xindi_story.13.desc:0 “The Ro Phan Ain mountains once marked the boundary of the Xindi-Primate nation of Elavu and the Xindi-Reptilian nation of Lssan. Heavily fortified by the Primates, natural duranium deposits made the string of subterranean bases beneath the range almost impervious to attack. One such base has been discovered intact on one of the larger fragments of Xindus.

While the other Xindi species have the advantage of preserving at least some of their culture following the exodus, the Avians did not have that luxury. Instead, they have been immersed in Xindi culture as a whole. Indeed, this new cohort demonstrates little of the factionality that pervades Xindi society.”
STH_xindi_mechanic.10.desc:0 “Following the destruction of Xindus at the end of the Century of War, the remaining Xindi species vowed to never again take arms against each other and unite in the search for a new homeworld. The Xindi Council was formed to ensure the voices of all were heard. While most matters are agreed through majority votes by the ten Council members, one member is elected to act as a Chairperson.

STH_xindi_mechanic.22.desc:0 “Despite not being the strongest or biggest of the Xindi species, the Primates have always had a certain knack for destruction and so it seems only fitting that the master firing weapon would be produced at the hands of a Primate. The device is capable of firing an overloaded charge of Kemocite causing a planet core to destabalised and explode, reducing a planet to a broken shell. A weapon that could end a war before it even begins.”
STH_xindi_mechanic.23.desc:0 “The Arboreals have always been considered the laziest of the Xindi species, but don’t let that appearance deceive. What the Arboreals don’t know about the refinement of Kemocite is not worth knowing. The power core they have produced will power the weapon and the vessel that hosts it. “

Our study of the ancient hull material found within the Doomsday Machine has allowed our scientists to glean some insights into its history.Firstly, based on the relative trajectory and course of the Doomsday Machine, we can presume it came from outside the galaxy.Secondly, the hull is pure neutronium, a material we have only observed deep within certain stars and the manufacture of which is far beyond our current understanding.Finally the testing of weapons fire against the neutronium hull chunk has provided us with valuable feedback on how weapons react to nigh invulnerable materials.”
STH_relics_flavour.202.desc:0 “Further experimentation upon the Doomsday Fragment has provided deeper insights. Each branch has managed to discover new information about the machine.Our sociologists and astrometrics teams have managed to calculate a path of destruction through the galaxy which has rendered worlds completely destroyed and wiping out numerous pre warp civilisations. Engineer teams have uncovered some manufacturing defects within the hull fragments, showing that this was created by beings just as fallible as ourselves. Finally the strength of the material is nigh invulnerable to our weapons fire, however it seems that this is the inner hull of the machine – with the outer hull being stripped away millenia in the past. These findings are quite unsettling, as it seems larger and more powerful species once existed.”
STH_relics_flavour.203.desc:0 “Ongoing research into the Doomsday Fragment is continuing to provide deep insights into the species that once constructed this devastating vessel. Every branch has it’s theories, but here are the latest findings. The Doomsday Machine definitely came from outside the Galactic Barrier, potentially arriving from the Andromeda Galaxy or more worryingly even further away. The scoring along the hull fragment suggests numerous sustained battles against anti-proton weaponry. The amount of neutronium within the hull almost guarantees a level of stellar engineering far beyond current technology.The Doomsday Machines seem to require a large amount of material to replenish themselves, hence the destruction of entire worlds to power their internal factories. Theoretically the consumption of large vessels should be possible and would be of much more benefit than just raw material. Further research into the fragment will likely provide findings along the same path.”

If you attempt to model something in reality with maths and logic then sometimes one can end up drawing absurd conclusions about reality itself.By stating outright §Y’Nothing unreal exists’§! and accepting this as part of our philosophy, it serves as a reminder that as soon as we start thinking abstractly we lose relevance.

Upon closer inspection it looks like the structure is all that remains of a once much larger structure that has long been destroyed and fallen into the roiling waves of the mantle below.The materials used in the manufacture are unknown to us, but appear to be unnaturally strong. An entranceway has been secured.”

He is requesting extraction and diplomatic asylum away from the Ba’ul, who he claims hunt and kill his species. In return he will provide information and his eternal gratitude.”
STH_brightest_star.2.desc:0 “Having decided that the signal is of no use to us, the young Kelpien can only hope that his signal was not picked up by the Watchful Eye of the Ba’ul.

STH_brightest_star.3.desc:0 “Our scientists have located the exact location of the signal, just outside of a village belonging to the Kelpiens. Despite the Ba’ul being less technologically advanced than us, they would still detect a transporter signal, the only option is to take a shuttle to extract the alien. The mission will be risky and the Ba’ul are still capable of shooting down one of our small craft and would take any intrusion into their space as an act of aggression.”

He explains that his people are kept as prey for the Ba’ul under the Watchful Eye.He knows that there must be more for his species than a life of fear and oppression, but that he cannot help from the planets surface. He pleads that we take him with us. We must make the decision fast as it appears that the Ba’ul may have picked up our incursion.”

Relations between the Acamarians and the Gatherers have been severely strained by this development.”

With the assassin found, the plans to disrupt the talks were stopped, and the Gatherers have agreed to once again live on the Acamarian homeworld.In addition, study of the cellular alteration used on the assassin will likely lead to some valuable knowledge.”

Confused by these orders the bridge crew inquires if some sort of probing device should also be prepared for the transport, but [Root.GetLeaderName] just tells them to follow the orders and leaves the bridge.Monitoring the transport process from the bridge it soon becomes obvious to the crew that [Root.GetLeaderName] is configuring the transporter for a very specific matter to energy personnel transport to the energy cloud with no one but [Root.Leader.GetHerHim] being in the transporter room. Seeing this the bridge crew contacts [Root.GetLeaderName] to enquier about what is happening, but the only respond they get is that [Root.GetLeaderName] is joining the cloud to explore the galaxy as energy followed by the communication being cut and both the transporter controls and room door being locked.With it now becoming obvious that [Root.GetLeaderName] is indeed trying to transport to the energy cloud the question becomes should the crew do whatever it takes to abort the transport or allow [Root.Leader.GetHerHim] to join the energy cloud despite the potential significant risks of the operation?”

STH_galactic_features.1040.desc:0 “Our initial conclusions concerning the ancient D’Arsay civilisation were incorrect: this was not a single a polity. Instead, it seems that over a 100 million years ago, a collection of small kingdoms and villagers slowly adopted a single syncretic pantheon. Local city gods and creation myths were integrated with one another, allowing for a single unifying ethos to emerge. Before their extinction, all D’Arsay polities shared many ideals in arts, philosophy and theology while still keeping their own unique histories, languages, government and currency.Despite this individuality, two names continue to appear consistently in almost every article we have recovered from the archive: Masaka and Korgano, the prime goddess and god of the D’Arsay pan-global pantheon. It seems those gods held more than a simple symbolic importance, as those names even appeared on government documents. In addition, major market trends and political decisions were assigned, or even seemingly blamed, on one of those two. Exactly why that remains a mystery. More research is required.”
STH_galactic_features.1041.desc:0 “The D’Arsay group of languages continues to baffle even our most advanced universal translator algorithms and self-learning neural networks. The level of complexity and information density the D’Arsay pictographic script offers might explain the overwhelming corrupting elements we encountered when we first activated the Archive.Each pictograph can correspond to hundreds of different meaning, depending on subtle nuances of syntax, dialect, mode of approach and even the relative social position of the speaker to the potential reader of the text. Wise scholars and lore-masters often not only play tricks with the use of archaic words, but also archaic rules of grammar and reference modes that can lade a simple-looking text with symbolism and portents. We can only imagine the kind of communication devices and self-learning algorithms that were required to make modern-day D’Arsay culture make any sense to itself. What could this civilisation have evolved to if it ever had the chance and managed to discover Warp technology?”
STH_galactic_features.1042.desc:0 “Our researchers are slowly coming to a startling conclusion concerning the D’Arsay people themselves: they were poikilothermic, meaning their bodies and mental states were highly influenced by fluctuation in temperature. This could explain their obsession with the sun, or why Masaka, their sun goddess, was so highly tied with times of brute actions, sacrifice and war.We arrive at this conclusion from a careful study of the D’Arsay holographic records of their former cities. It is clear that heat management was paramount – stone buildings designed to convey heat upwards, large, open, flowing chambers meant to carefully distribute heat and sunlight. The drastic distinction between the airy and cool chambers of Korgano and the suffocating fortresses of Maska also now made sense. The very architecture of the buildings and the way they channelled heat would shape the behaviour of everyone in the building.”

STH_mars.111.desc:0 “‘Sir!’ shouted one of the xenopaleobotonists further down the cave. They were located two kilometers below the Martian surface, not far from the edges of the Garni Crater. The entire cave formation was only revealed recently, after an especially rough quake that followed a comet strike brought down the covering walls. The geological structure immediately attracted the attention of local science teams because the cave held trace element of an especially important molecule: water.Paul Boone, leader of the Mars terraforming initiative, followed the call deeper inside the cave. A small group of researchers were crouched near a small, tapering pillar, whispering excitedly. As he grew closer, he could see the beam of light illuminating a small, shallow pool of water, covered by an organic looking metallic sheen. The biologists were moving their tricorders again and again. There, in the briny water, were millions of fossilized insects. Evidence that Mars did carry life, once upon a time.”
STH_mars.112.desc:0 “The ground control crew stared helplessly at the monitors. ‘Send an evacuation order!’ yelled someone, but others were just shaking their head numbly. ‘It’s too late’ muttered someone else.An hour ago, is was simply another routine day in the Mars Initiative control center, with no less than five comets scheduled to crash into the ice cap. Then, shortly after contact with the now-thicker atmosphere, an unmapped pocket of volatiles on a comet erupted, sending the comet into a spin. As the comet plunged toward the Martian surface, more and more gas pockets burst. The comet was shredding itself apart, now on a trajectory toward New Armstrong Base. A few ground vehicles managed to escape the base dome in time, but even they didn’t survive the ensuing nuclear blast as a comet fragment hit Mars with the strength of 300 megatons of TNT. Fifty thousand people died in what would be known at the worse terraforming disaster of this century.”
STH_mars.121.desc:0 “The tension in the control room was palpable. A flotilla of tugs was pulling the last segments of the mirror into position, and even a millimeter misalignment of the 5 kilometer wide complex could ruin the great assembly. Boone paced back and forth along the small chamber, making a small indentation in the carpet. The controller gazed at him, irritated, thought of asking him again to sit down, thought better of it, and continued his work.Ten minutes later, however, there was no more need to worry. The sensor grid reported every single segment was properly aligned. Ponderously, Xeon-plasma jets kicked in, making the final adjustment. Then the mirror was angled just so, and suddenly, pure, blessed sunlight blasted across the Martian surface, reflected from above. Already, surface temperatures were climbing. Boone grinned at the monitor, and hurried to report to his superiors. The controller shook his head, mentally switching his focus to the next mirror complex under construction.”
STH_mars.122.desc:0 “The infestation started over two months ago, in the remote reaches of Malea Planum. The southern ice cap was seeded with a highly modified anaerobic bacterium, that injected contaminants in the ice-water, releasing a small amount of heat in the process. There were many genetic safeguards and a very simplistic DNA strand should have been proper protection against mutation. It wasn’t.A freak change in allele activation allowed the bacteria to inject more complex organic molecules. In the past desolate Mars would offer very little in organic material, but Mars surface has been seeded with other strains of bacteria that fertilized the soil. Within a week, the ice-cap bacteria subsumed all other strains, spreading like wildfire along the empty plains of southern Mars. When it was eventually discovered, it was almost too late – the bacteria were everywhere, covering the surface with a thin, grey crust. The damage to the ecosystem is vast – it may very well set back the project for years.”
STH_mars.130.desc:0 “A small delegation of researchers is leaving the Terraforming lab. In the distance, explosions can be heard, carried across the thin atmosphere. Engineer Boone glances at his timepiece – comet ZA2112-B crashed into the northern polar ice cap right on schedule. Minor quakes shake the surface and quickly dissipate, and miles-high geysers of superheated steam stretching into the atmosphere. Boone glances at the sight and smiles, before firmly grasping the seals of his breathing masks and pulling it free. The rest of the delegation stare at him warily. This is why they came here, but the risk is still great.Paul Boone is the first human being to take a fresh breath of Martian air. After years of work, the atmosphere is finally thick enough for a human to breath it unaided. There is still much to do before Mars will truly be a paradise, but this is a monumental step forward for Humanity.”
STH_mars.140.desc:0 “Representatives from all over Mars stood ill at ease in one corner of the mess hall at Schiaparelli Base as attendants hurried to drag in more seats. The hall was ill-fitting for such a distinguished occasion, but rugged Mars has yet to manufacture anything else that could house such a large gathering. Finally, they were all allowed to enter.The red planet is no more, replaced with something that appears almost green. Thousands of migrants from Earth flock here, and the population is booming. It is clear to everyone something must be done.A short while later, after the meeting commenced, John Hammerlich, now old and distinguished, stepped in front of the short podium. He was the representative of Gundersdottir’s Dome, one of the largest in the 22 colonies of Mars, and his gravelly voice spoke for all.’We stand here, not unlike our forefathers did in the grand old city of Philadelphia, not to cast off tyranny but to embrace freedom. We take the first step today, as we make the Fundamental Declarations of the Martian Colonies’.”
STH_mars.141.desc:0 “It was one of the most ambitious articles in the Fundamental Declarations of the Martian Colonies. As the terraforming process progressed, more and more resources shifted to Mars. The air was still thin, but people could walk unaided on the surface and truly tame this new world. The confederated Martian colonies have decided they will initiate a construction project that will rival any of that on Earth.A lucky draw picked Utopia colony, a tiny hamlet on the Utopia Planitia lava plane, as the site. Within a month, the small town was transformed. Within two months, the foundations of a superstructure were placed 16 thousand kilometers above the colony, in synchronous orbit. Now, the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards fill the sky with dozens of giant drydocks.”
STH_mars.142.desc:0 “It was one of the most heated contested articles in the Fundamental Declarations of the Martian Colonies. Mars was transforming under the comet barrage of the Mars Initiative, becoming a paradise for humanity, but at what price? That was, at least, the question a vocal group called ‘the preservers’ were asking. They called terraforming an abomination, man exerting its influence over another pristine land, one it has no right to call home. As the Preservers gained power, the newly founded senate of the Confederated Martian Colonies grew concerned.Eventually and under constant pressure from the public, the senate agreed to a wide range of regulations that will severely limit the extent of the Mars Initiative. No one seemed happy with the solution, and the terraforming of Mars has been delayed for years.”
STH_mars.143.desc:0 “‘Years ago, when there was still a Pope in Rome, when the last Pope died, the cardinals would gather and debate who would be his successor. They were not allowed to leave until a decision could be made. Once, it almost took three years… thank goodness, it did not take so long this time. It only felt that way said Hammerlich ponderously, to polite laughter. In truth, everyone felt on edge – the negotiations, initially expected to be brief and cordial, quickly turned ugly.Yet in the end, the key disputes – access to future water-ways – was agreed upon, and from there, things progressed quickly and an accord was met. Mars now has its own constitution and federal government, independent but forever bound to Earth. The destiny of a world was decided, and for once in humanity’s history, it was not decided with blood.”
STH_mars.151.desc:0 “The lack of a magnetosphere had long been regarded as one of the most significant barriers to long term colonisation of Mars. Following the development of deflectors, it became feasible to deploy an array of such devices around a planet to perform much the same function, though at great cost. The Martian terraforming project has successfully deployed such an array, eliminating a source of atmospheric loss while increasing the safety of colonists braving the open surface.”
STH_mars.152.desc:0 “In hindsight, it was not clear what the rebellion was even about. Mars was flourishing under the Initiative, but the older settlers, those that lived on Mars for dozens of years before the flood of migrants from Earth, grew even more resentful. Was it about land? Control? Power? Preserving the old ways? All the above, or none? All we know is that almost overnight, the planet was in frenzy, riots on every dome.The overwhelmed local government tried to control the situation, but before anyone even noticed, an armed group of local colonists stormed the Verteron Array compound, gaining access to a weapon of terrific puissance. With a single, defiant act, they shuttered the Initiative, halting the project and rallying rebels across the planet.”
STH_mars.154.desc:0 “The strike, when it came, was over swiftly. What took several weeks of careful planning, lasted less than a single violent, intense hour. A M.A.C.O team infiltrated the Verteron Array compound at several locations at the same times using a transporter technique that by-passed the inhibitor field. Despite a few casualties, most of the rebels surrendered on the spot.The rest of the Martian rebellion did not last much more. A few enclaves held out, but most surrendered when news came of the fall of the compound. The Martian colonies were at peace once again, and within a few days the terraforming resumed.The seeds of discontent, however, will not disappear as swiftly. One can only hope they will not grow, and fester.”
STH_mars.160.desc:0 “It is raining on Mars. Of course, the first drop lands undocumented, many kilometers from the nearest human being. Everyone can walk around freely and unaided on the surface, but the population is still in the low millions, and has not yet spread to every corner of the planet. The vast weather monitoring system, of course, is carefully tuned to keep track of violent storms, not a gentle summer drizzle.But today it is raining on Mars, and it will not be the last time.”
STH_mars.170.desc:0 “There has not been a sand storm on the face of Mars for weeks. Giant thunderstorms now frequently roll across the red plains, giant torrents of rain pouring down. The Hellas Planitia became a true sea, as life-giving water filled it to the brim. A million kilometers away, in synchronous orbit, giant orbital mirrors reflected the sun back toward the surface, raising the temperature.Paul Boone stares in pride from Phobos orbit. Mars will never be a true Earth – it is too small, too far away from the sun. But it has a beauty of its own, and soon, millions of new colonists will come to appreciate that beauty, like he has in the last years. The Red planet is not so red anymore.”
STH_mars.180.desc:0 “The Initiative has fulfilled its purpose; Mars is now a sister planet to Earth, a blue gem shining in the sky. But there is still much work to be done before the planet achieves its full potential. We have the opportunity to invest in the planet’s future, to unlock special facilities, bonuses and upgrades.§GThis event lets you spend resources to acquire any beneficial bonus you might have missed during the Mars terraforming event.§!”
STH_mars.190.desc:0 “In dozens of years, this new shiny research facility will no longer be the Carl Sagan Institute of Technology. Richard Daystrom in all his dazzling, maddening, brilliant glory will reshape the galaxy and acquire the name to himself. But well before that, the venerable annex will already be a bastion of research and academia.Inspired by the pioneering spirit of old and the flood of material investment of Earth, the local Martians have decided they must be able to rival Earth not only in industry but in their contribution to mankind as well. This vision lasted into the future, making Mars one of the most respected scientific institutes in the galaxy.”
STH_mars.191.desc:0 “The tension in the control room was palpable.

Already, surface temperatures were climbing, and other mirrors were waiting to be placed in position. Mars is forever changed.”
STH_mars.192.desc:0 “No one knew why Utopia colony, one of the smallest settlements on Mars, was eventually picked for this project. No doubt there was a great deal of politics behind the decision, an attempt to promote the frontiers of the newly settled planets. The confederated Martian colonies have decided they will initiate a construction project that will rival any of that on Earth.Still, it was a tiny hamlet on the Utopia Planitia lava plane that would become the site of starfleet’s main fleet yard. Within a month of the project, the small town was transformed. Within two months, the foundations of a superstructure were placed 16 thousand kilometers above the colony, in synchronous orbit. Now, the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards fill the sky with dozens of giant drydocks.”
STH_mars.193.desc:0 “To the military minds of Starfleet, Mars offers a unique strategic advantage. It is now fully terraformed and accessible, but it is not as fragile or sensitive a target as Earth. A few commanders suggested that the inner-planet defenses of the Sol system be moved to Mars, and the idea spread among Starfleet command like wildfire. From that, the Mars Defense Perimeter was born.The project calls for a vast array of automated sub-light sentry pods, built and controlled from Mars, turning the planet into a veritable fortress. Once approved, the project proceeded swiftly.”

MARS_1_PROJECT_DESC:0 “The people of Mars has endured years under the endless barrage of ice-comets, and while few can deny the great progress of the project, the very real human toll is sorely felt. Eventually, a local group from the Ares 1 Dome has decided enough is enough, and took over the Verteron array from the hands of the Mars Initiative.The coup was bloodless and swift, but the project is in the hands of armed civilian now. This must change – and we fear only force can resolve this issue now.”

The asteroid field as a whole also seems to have a unique and fluctuating energy pattern that appears to be still drawing some faint energy from some of the more recently deposited alien bodies. While conducting these studies our scientists observe an opening of a subspace vacuole that disappears as suddenly as it first appeared, but leaves behind a fresh alien body.Now the question becomes what should we do?

This threat to their biological superiority is too much for them to take.

Special research teams are digging deeper and deeper into databanks of the conquered alien species, searching for anything which could provide the [Root.GetName] with an advantage in the war. One of those teams now believes that they have gathered enough information from the Vulcan database to assemble a number of prototype, cutting-edge systems, including an incredibly powerful Warp V engine. They have addressed [Root.Ruler.GetTitle] [Root.Ruler.GetName] [Root.Ruler.GetHerHim]self with the proposition of the ‘NX Project’ – a series of advanced battlecruisers which would be able to deliver a quick and decisive killing blow to this rebellion.

However, there is always room for improvement. While the [Root.GetName] can proceed with the remainder of the NX Project right away, some high-ranking Starfleet officers believe that the Enterprise should be taken to the frontlines first so that the prototype’s performance can be evaluated in combat, as a basis for crew training and equipment configuration on her upcoming sisterships.”

The Queen offers the Captain the choice to join the Collective willingly or by force as a drone. But just then an idea flickers through the Captains mind as the plasma coolant conduit is just visible behind the Queen.”

A well aimed shot punctures the conduit spilling forth the deadly gas capable of destroying any organic flesh it touches. The Borg Queen summons her tentacles in a bit to escape, but the Captain is too quick and beats her to the second level of the Engineering Deck. A fierce fight erupts, but the Queen is powerful and stronger than belays her size, sensing the only way to win the battle and save humanity is to §Ysacrifice§! themselves, with the last ounce of their strength the Captain launches themself at the Queen causing both to tumble over the side.

The Captain could see that the usual shielding around the warp core had been removed and was being replaced by a new Borg device. Seizing the chance the Captain grabbed their weapon and set it to overload, with a roar of triumph they changed towards the unshielded warp core.

The exact cause of the withdrawal is largely a matter of opinion; while the Bajorans attributed it to the efforts of the Bajoran Resistance, the Cardassians regarded it as an entirely political decision.

With state-of-the-art sensors and personalised cloaking devices this operation allows for a unique chance to observe the Ba’ku culture whilst observing firsthand the effects of the radiation on the population.”
STH_sona_story.11.desc:0 “[Leader.GetName] begins to lead scientists out into the Ba’ku village using the personal cloaking units provided by the Son’a. The Ba’ku appear to be a rural society with very little interest in any form of technology, but on closer inspection, their mental acuity appears to be extremely advanced, it is obvious that there is more to these villagers than first described in the reports the Son’a produced. “
STH_sona_story.12.desc:0 “Whilst investigating one of the lakes to the south of the Ba’ku village, [Leader.GetName] picked up a strange neutrino emission coming from the centre of the lake. On closer inspection, a cloaked holoship was found containing an exact replica of the Ba’ku village. It looks like there is a plan to actively remove the Ba’ku from their home. As [Leader.GetName] turns to return to their base a disrupter beam blasts the wall behind them.”
STH_sona_story.13.desc:0 “As [Leader.GetName] makes their way back to the Duckblind frantically chased by both [Root.Owner.GetName] scientists and Son’a operatives disrupting the peaceful setting of the Ba’ku village. Reaching the operation centre [Leader.GetName] is forced to make a big decision. Do they hold the scientist accountable for the attempt to forcibly remove people from their homes or allow the mission to continue?”
STH_sona_story.14.desc:0 “[Root.GetLeaderTitle] we have received a message from our operation within the Briar Patch, it appears [insurrection_leader1.GetName] has gone rogue and is now holding both our scientists and the Son’a team hostage on the planet’s surface. All attempts to communicate with our officer have been ineffective. We must send in an Admiral to resolve the situation and recover our operation.”
STH_sona_story.15.desc:0 “Our agents on Ba’ku have stopped reporting in, but we have managed to intercept a message from one of our ‘allies’ scientists. It appears they have been taken hostage by someone who has suddenly grown a conscience. A fleet is inbound to deal with the situation, but it is clear that this operation has just become more complicated, we should prepare a fleet to backup our team within the Briar Patch.”
STH_sona_story.16.desc:0 “Our operation on Ba’ku is now ready to progress to the next stage, despite the many hold-ups and pointless beaurcractic nonsense from our so-called partner, we have managed to round up the Ba’ku villagers into the holoship. Despite our promise to relocate them to a new world, we cannot forget the crimes these savages committed against us. They will serve out their remaining days as slaves of the Son’a.”
STH_sona_story.17.desc:0 “With the Ba’ku rounded up any stragglers left on the planet remain to fate, our officers have begun to deploy the Collector ship which will drain the rings around the planet of the Metaphasic particles and begin a chain reaction that will render the planet lifeless and possibly even set off seismic activity that could destroy the planet from within. Not that it matters once we have what we need.”
STH_sona_story.18.desc:0 “Son’a Command has notified us that they have begun operations to strip the rings of Ba’ku of the particles that provide the life-giving radiation. Our lead scientist on the mission reports that they have concerns that the Ba’ku may not have been relocated to a new home as promised, but are now enslaved somewhere within Son’a territory. The operation will end with the destruction of the planet and the loss of a world close to paradise.”
STH_sona_story.20.desc:0 “On arriving in the Briar Patch it is soon clear that everything is not as it was reported. The scientists appear to be no more held hostage than unwelcome guests sitting comfortably around tables at the centre of the village. The Ba’ku very quickly explain that they have no intention of harming or keeping anyone on the planet any longer than they wish. The update from [insurrection_leader1.GetName] is less positive, they quickly explain that Son’a, backed by our own government intend to relocate the peaceful Ba’ku from their homes. Despite the Ba’ku freely admitting they are not indigenous to the planet and actually being a warp-capable people they have no desire to live anywhere else but in the homes they have made for themselves.”
STH_sona_story.21.desc:0 “Having ignored previous instructions to return to the nearest Starbase [insurrection_leader2.GetName] takes a skeleton crew to the planet’s surface in a bid to protect the Ba’ku villagers from being forcibly relocated. Seeing two main options ahead of them, either abandoning the village to keep as many Ba’ku as safe as possible or digging in and fortifying the village and buying time for [insurrection_ship2.GetName] to spread the word about what is happening on Ba’ku.”
STH_sona_story.22.desc:0 “As the caravan of Ba’ku makes its slow way through the mountains, the tactic appears to be working. However, the Son’a are determined to complete their mission and deploy tagging drones. Despite the fierce resistance from [insurrection_leader2.GetName] and their team are many Ba’ku are hit by the small darts and transported to the holding cells on the Son’a vessels in orbit. [insurrection_leader2.GetName] can only hope the message got out in time.”
STH_sona_story.23.desc:0 “After a brave act of defiance from [insurrection_leader2.GetName] and their crew, the overwhelming number of Son’a forces soon manage to capture the village, sadly a number of villagers were killed in the attack, but the Captain is hopeful that it will have brought enough time to get a message out and prevent the Son’a from calling their reinforcements.”
STH_sona_story.25.desc:0 “Adhar Ru’afo has moved his fleets into position to take out the enemy vessels before they can alert their people, once we have destroyed them the planet will be ours.”
STH_sona_story.26.desc:0 “As [insurrection_fleet1.GetName] approaches the far reaches of the Briar Patch a large fleet of Son’a battleships moves to intercept led by the Son’a leader Adhar Ru’afo.It is clear this fleet has no intention of allowing the [insurrection_fleet1.GetName] to make it out of the Briar Patch alive. They will need to be defeated.”
STH_sona_story.27.desc:0 “As the last of the Ru’afo’s ships explode, the remaining Son’a forces quickly request a cease-fire! The threat to the Ba’ku is finally at an end. We must ensure that the mistakes made here can never be repeated and that these peaceful people are kept safe.”
STH_sona_story.28.desc:0 “With our plans to take Ba’ku by force in tatters and the news having reached [baku_planet_country.GetName] seat of power that we betrayed them we must decide on our next course of action. Do we beg for forgiveness and hope they do not unleash their forces on us or do we go on the offensive?”
STH_sona_story.29.desc:0 “Greetings [Root.GetRulerTitle] [Root.GetRulerName], I am Adhar [sona_command.GetRulerName] of the Son’a Command. We wish to extend an apology for the incident within the Briar Patch. It was the act of one desperate individual seeking to reclaim a life that we have left behind many years ago. We now only wish to put this incident behind us and move on. Do you accept this proposal?”
STH_sona_story.30.desc:0 “Attention [Root.GetRulerTitle] [Root.GetRulerName], I am Adhar [sona_command.GetRulerName] of the Son’a Command. By now you are aware of the incident within the Briar Patch, whilst you may have been victorious note that this is not over and we shall have our revenge.”
STH_sona_story.31.desc:0 “Our forces have been victorious and defeated [baku_planet_country.GetName] in combat, with no one to defend the Ba’ku it is ours for the taking. “
STH_sona_story.32.desc:0 “News is filtering through to us that our fleet within the Briar Patch has been defeated by the Son’a forces. Our long range scouts have detected what appears to be the deployment of a large collector in the system which has likely already been used against the planet and its poulation.”

RESOLUTE_2_PROJECT_DESC:0 “One of our leading scientists has gone missing in a bid to prove their theory on warp propulsion correct, however they are now in danger and need to be rescued by the crew of the USS Resolute.”
STH_resolute.0.desc:0 “Following an overhaul of its scientific systems and the inclusion of a number of new sensor arrays the Centaur Class §YU.S.S Resolute§! is ready to be returned to active fleet duty from Utopia Planitia. Captain Solano has overseen the work himself and is eager to put the ship through her paces. §YDev Note: Due to the cosmic shifting of the Q continuum, if you have retired the Centaur Class, it will be brought back in service to allow the magic to happen, you can retire it once again after the Resolute appears in by Utopia in about 2 months.§!”
STH_resolute.2.desc:0 “Greetings, I am [resolute_science_leader.GetName] and I bring you exciting news from the scientific community, I have been working on a means of improving the yield from our Dilithium crystals to provide higher warp speeds and more efficient travel across our space. Working with [resolute_admiral_leader.GetName] we believe that whilst it is still early days, a test of this theory is the best way of moving the project forward… I know you may say we are getting ahead of ourselves, but the science is sound and the risk will be worth it…”
STH_resolute.3.desc:0 “Fabulous news, our tests have come back successful, the new purer Dilithium has proven to be effective and stable and should increase our ships speed by about 50%. This is truly a fantastic day for field of warp propulsion.”
STH_resolute.4.desc:0 “I am frustrated to report that our tests on the purer form of Dilithium proved to be a §Rfailure§!, with instabilities forming in the warp matrix within minutes of the ship hitting warp 5. It is back to the drawing board, and we should be glad that no one was injured as a result of this.”
STH_resolute.5.desc:0 “Command, this is [resolute_admiral_leader.GetName] I have concerning news regarding §Y[resolute_science_leader.GetName]§!.It appears they did not take the news to delay testing their theory well and have taken it upon themselves to prove it works outside of the approval of Starfleet. I have worked with [resolute_science_leader.GetName] for many years and know they have the best interests of the Federation at heart but can be naive to the risks. We have received news that [resolute_theat_country.GetName] raiders are in the area and would love to gain access to the research. Permission to set course for [resolute_destination_1.GetName] to recover our scientist? I would like to bring the USS Resolute as I believe it’s upgrades sensors will provide us with a greater chance of success.”
STH_resolute.7.desc:0 “We are receiving a hail from [resolute_rescue_ship.GetName], they have successfully rescued [resolute_science_leader.GetName] and whilst it is clear that other forces in the area were attempting to reach them before we could get there, the quick thinking and timely actions by the crew meant that the scientist is safely back in Federation space.”
STH_resolute.8.desc:0 “I apologize for the rashness of my actions, but I felt the time was of the essence and am willing to take whatever consequences you deem appropriate. My research has proven partially successful and I believe that with further testing it may provide benefit for all vessels in our fleet, but for now, I would like to propose a refit for the U.S.S Resolute and an update to their warp engines to test my theory in greater depth.”
STH_resolute.9.desc:0 “I apologize for the rashness of my actions, but I felt the time was of the essence and am willing to take whatever consequences you deem appropriate. My research has proven partially successful and I believe that with further testing it may provide benefit for all vessels in our fleet, but for now, I would like to propose testing the new warp matrix and dilithium crystals on the [resolute_rescue_ship.GetName].”
STH_resolute.10.desc:0 “Report coming in from [resolute_rescue_ship_leader.GetName], they have managed to retrieve [resolute_science_leader.GetName], but not without alerting the attention of hostile forces in the region. The [resolute_rescue_ship.GetName] could only escape the attack, but has sustained damage to its weapons and defensive systems. With little option remaining [resolute_science_leader.GetName], suggests using the untested Dilithium crystals to propel the ship to safety. “
STH_resolute.11.desc:0 “What was assumed to be the safest option has failed to save the crew of the [resolute_rescue_ship.GetName] as the [resolute_theat_country.GetName] fleet was able to catch up with them and quickly overpower them, taking the research and killing the crew.”
STH_resolute.12.desc:0 “One of our outposts has detected the return of [resolute_rescue_ship.GetName] to [This.Owner.GetName] space and whilst the ship might be battered and bruised at least the crew are alive. Without a test of the Dilithium Crystals our corp of engineers have shelved any further plans to use this technology on our ships. “
STH_resolute.15.desc:0 “Our long range scans have picked up the unmissable signs of a massive warp core breach at the last known location of our ship. It appears that in an attempt to escape the ship and her crew have been lost.”
STH_resolute.16.desc:0 “Our failure to secure our missing scientist has resulted in an unexpected bonus for [resolute_theat_country.GetName] who were able to capture the scientist and their research, which will no doubt prove extremely beneficial to their own warp propulsion efforts and provide them with a significant advantage. As for our scientist, we can assume that they are now missing in action and lost to us forever.”
REDEMPTION_1_PROJECT_DESC:0 “A meeting has been arranged with the United Federation of Planets to seek a neutral party in regard to the succession of the Klingon Empire.”
REDEMPTION_2_PROJECT_DESC:0 “We have been invited to meet with the Chancellor of the Klingon Empire to meet to discuss an important matter relating to the succession of the High Chancellorship.”
REDEMPTION_3_PROJECT_DESC:0 “Our meeting with the Klingon Chancellor was attacked, we must investigate who could have carried out this attack as it may impact our decision on who becomes the new leader of the Empire.”
REDEMPTION_4_PROJECT_DESC:0 “It is time to witness the ‘crowning’ of the new leader of the Klingon Empire. Travel to the Klingon Homeworld to watch the new Chancellor take their place in front of the High Council.”
REDEMPTION_5_PROJECT_DESC:0 “The Klingons suspect the Romulans are supplying the Rebel faction in their war preparations, they have asked us for aid. At this stage, all we can do is expose the Romulan’s attempt to cross the border and send aid to the rebel group.”
STH_redemption.2.desc:0 “Greetings Praetor, I bring you a grave warning from the Tal Shiar.. we have been working with one of your up-and-coming Imperial Commanders who is requesting an audience with the council to discuss a matter which could impact the very security of the Empire.”
STH_redemption.3.desc:0 “Greetings Praetor [Root.GetLeaderName], my name is Commander Sela and I have been working on fostering a relationship with the leadership of one of the Great Houses within the Klingon Empire my source has revealed that the relationship between the Klingon Empire and the Federation is continuing to grow at an alarming pace since they signed the treaty at Khitomer. My contact within the House of Duras is ready to make a bid for the leadership of the Empire, but they will need our support and a little help ensuring the current leader of the High Council meets an ‘unfortunate’ end…”
STH_redemption.4.desc:0 “Qapla’ it is with great concern I must report that my health continues to deteriorate, the greatest doctors within the Empire feel my passage to Sto-vo-kor rapidly approaches. I speak now grave words for I fear that treachery runs deep within the Empire and I will be reaching out to our allies in the Federation to play a part in the Arbiter of Succession ritual for I can no longer trust the warriors within these halls.”
STH_redemption.5.desc:0 “Greetings I am K’Ehleyr, Federation Ambassador to the Klingon Empire, I’ve been approached by my counterpart from the Empire to ask for our attendance at an important meeting, it appears the Chancellor of the Empire is in dire health and has asked for one of our finest to act as the Arbiter of Succession in the upcoming ceremony. This act will go a long way in cementing our relationship with the Empire and ensuring that the best possible outcome is reached for future Federation-Klingon relations. “
STH_redemption.6.desc:0 “Having worked with the Klingons and gained their respect, I am willing to speak with the Empire regarding the Rite of Succession. It would be remiss of me if I did not flag my concern about involving ourselves in the internal affairs of the Klingon Empire and we will have to inform them that whilst we can observe the event our role must remain neutral. Remaining on good terms with the Empire will be a key outcome of this meeting and ensuring stability along our borders.”
STH_redemption.7.desc:0 “Our sources within the Klingon High Council have made us aware that the Federation has been approached to assist the Empire in replacing the leader we have poisoned. Commander Sela assures us that this unexpected twist will be ‘handled’ by her team.”
STH_redemption.8.desc:0 “Our spies within the Klingon Empire have advised us that the Empire attempted to seek the help of Starfleet, who rejected their request for help. Whilst this action will no doubt damage the relationship between both sides it does not aid our attempts to gain influence within the High Council”
STH_redemption.9.desc:0 “We have been advise by the Federation Ambassador that they will be sending no Captain to support our request to aid with the Rite of Succession. It seems our trust in the Federation was miss-placed and they have no honour after all.”
STH_redemption.10.desc:0 “Ambassador K’Ehleyr from the Federation has confirmed that the Federation is sending one of their warriors to meet with us to discuss the Rite of Succession, and whilst they proclaim they will not directly interfere they will hear our ask.”
STH_redemption.11.desc:0 “Our failure to attend our own conference has no doubt led to confusion within our own ranks and frustration within the decks of the Starfleet vessel that was waiting to rendezvous with us.”
STH_redemption.12.desc:0 “The Klingons have never been known as a patient people and our failure to attend the agreed meeting has nothing to improve relations and will have harmed our efforts to build a peaceful quadrant.”
STH_redemption.13.desc:0 “It appears the Klingons have failed to attend the arranged meeting with the Federation Flagship, a baffling and cowardly act from the Klingons, however one can never fathom the actions of such a foolish species. It does however. put an end to our schemes in this area.”
STH_redemption.14.desc:0 “The Federation has demonstrated a lack of honour by failing to attend the agreed meeting, perhaps we have miss-judged them.”
STH_redemption.15.desc:0 “The Klingons have never been known as a patient people and our failure to attend the agreed meeting has nothing to improve relations and will have harmed our efforts to build a peaceful quadrant.”
STH_redemption.16.desc:0 “It appears the Federation have failed to attend the arranged meeting with the Klingon Flagship, a rather baffling and cowardly act from Starfleet, which puts an end to our schemes in this area.”
STH_redemption.17.desc:0 “Commander [klingon_redemption_1_leader.GetName] has successfully delivered Chancellor [klingon_leader.GetName] to their meeting with the Federation Flagship, now begins a hazardous situation for the Klingon Empire as a new ruler must be selected to guide them Empire through this new era.”
STH_redemption.18.desc:0 “As I predicted Praetor the Klingon Empire has run to his Federation betters to seek help with aiding in the selection of a new Chancellor, now is our chance to not only place a puppet on the throne of the Empire but destroy their relationship with Starfleet and plunge them into chaos.”

STH_redemption.20.desc:0 “Greetings [federation_redemption_1_leader.GetName] you bring great honor to yourself in joining us here today and I offer you my thanks. The great Klingon Empire stands on a D’k tahg edge… my time remaining is limited, forces §Rcough§! have been working against me from the shadows and I cannot let these agents rule the Empire when I am gone. There are two leading candidates to replace me, both have strong support… §Rcough§! §GGowron§! commands the loyalty of those who wish to see the status quo remain, whilst §GDuras§! has the support of the ambitious forces within the Empire §Rcough§! I know you cannot directly interfere, but you can help me put the right person in the Chancellor’s seat, help me find out who has killed me.”
STH_redemption.21.desc:0 “Greetings [Root.GetRulerName] from the United Federation of Planets, I am [ufp_leader.GetName] and I am here to answer the call for assistance from the Klingon High Council. As requested my Chief Medical Officer has looked at your medical report and can confirm that the Veridium Six poisoning will soon take your life, our understanding is that two rival leaders stand ready to challenge for the leadership of the Empire. §GGowron§! offers a stable option, whilst §GDuras§! desires power above all else. One of these is likely to have taken their desire to lead the empire to treacherous levels, we will attempt to judge who the culprit is.”
STH_redemption.22.desc:0 “Praetor, Command Sela reporting in, our spies from the House of Duras have confirmed that the meeting between the Starfleet Captain and the Klingon Chancellor has taken place, we have the perfect opportunity to sabotage this meeting and sow confusion and tension within both parties, laying the way for our puppets in the House of Duras to take control of the Empire.”
STH_redemption.24.desc:0 “As the meeting comes to an end, the deafening sound of an explosion rings out across the meeting room. Security Officers from Starfleet and KDF dive to protect their leaders and sirens bellow while the emergency lights flicker hopelessly. It is clear that some force does not want this meeting to have taken place.”
STH_redemption.25.desc:0 “Captain, this is K’Ehleyr the Federation Ambassador to the Klingon Empire, the Federation Council has tasked me with aiding you in this investigation into this attack given my knowledge of the current state of Klingon affairs.I need not warn you that the Empire stands on the edge of a civil war that could drag in powers from across the quadrant, I have my suspicions on who is responsible here, but we cannot act without evidence and a wrong move could easily turn the average Klingon warrior against us.”
STH_redemption.26.desc:0 “Unfortunately, we must report back with bad news, despite a thorough investigation of the bomb site we have been unable to find any more evidence to suggest who was behind the attack. I cannot offer any additional information for you at this point.”
STH_redemption.27.desc:0 “Our investigation has been completed and we have made a startling discovery, it appears the substance used in the bomb carries a unique signature which has been known to have been used by §YRomulan§! agents and appears to have been carried in the meeting by a member of the Duras household guard. What makes this even more interesting is that we were able to go through our records and find similar readings also present at the site of the Khitomer Massacre. This implies a connection between Duras, the Romulans and the events at Khitomer all those years ago. “
STH_redemption.30.desc:0 “Duras! I am here to claim the Right of Vengeance for your actions here today, you will die at my hands here today and pay for your crimes against K’Ehleyr and for the sins of your father against the House of Mogh.”
STH_redemption.31.desc:0 “The two Klingons are locked in fierce combat, one fighting for vengeance and fueled by the rage of the injustices caused by the other. As the sounds of battle echos around, one man emerges triumphant, Worf, while Duras lies dead at his feet.”
STH_redemption.32.desc:0 “The two Klingons engage in combat, with both warriors fighting for their lives, Duras moves quickly to his right feigning an attack and drawing Worf into a lunge enabling Duras to capitalise and stab Worf in the back ending the battle with Duras standing victorious. “
STH_redemption.33.desc:0 “Worf, you stand before the High Council, whilst you were in your rights as Klingon to enact the Right of Vengence, with it lies any chance of clearing your family name. If we may speak off the record… your father knew too well that challenging Duras at this time would lead to open revolt within the Empire. The House of Duras is too strong right now to challenge and the death of their leader at the hands of a member of Starfleet only strengthens the backing they have. For the good of the Empire we need you to bear this disgrace a while longer whilst the future of the Empire is solidified.”
STH_redemption.34.desc:0 “As the meeting comes to an end, the deafening sound of an explosion rings out across the meeting room. Security Officers from Starfleet and KDF dive to protect their leaders and sirens bellow while the emergency lights flicker hopelessly. It is clear that some force does not want this meeting to have taken place.”
STH_redemption.35.desc:0 “As planned by Sela and her team, an explosion has rocked the conference being held by the Klingons and Federation the resulting chaos has hampered the succession process, and built support for our puppets in the House of Duras.”
STH_redemption.36.desc:0 “Our plans to plant Duras as head of the Klingon Empire have suffered a serious blow, as it appears the fool was killed in single combat against a Starfleet officer. Only in Klingon society could an act of such barbarism be tolerated, we will need to re-assess and adapt our plans without the fool Duras.”
STH_redemption.37.desc:0 “Despite the bombing, the Klingons are insisting on a decision, the Rite of Succession must be completed and a recommendation must be put forward. What has been made clear is that no matter the victor today this matter is far from settled and both sides will not take the decision lightly. We cannot directly influence the internal matters of the Empire, but we can make a judgment on who has been trying to kill the Chancellor.”
STH_redemption.38.desc:0 “The time has come to make a judgment on the next Chancellor of the Klingon Empire. Our investigations have shown that Duras, working with the Romulans, attempted to sabotage the meeting and kill his rivals in a very un-Klingon display. However, it is clear that Duras has the backing of a large number of the ‘old-guard’ and his family name carries a lot of weight within the noble families. Whereas Gowron offers stability, a clear career politician he lacks the big family name and military history, but he is in no rush to take the Empire to war. The Chancellor wants to know who is working against the Empire, which answer should we give?”
STH_redemption.40.desc:0 “The Klingon’s have reached a decision and §GGowron§! will be the new leader of the Klingon Empire on the death of their current Chancellor.”
STH_redemption.41.desc:0 “The Klingon’s have reached a decision and §GDuras§! will be the new leader of the Klingon Empire on the death of their current Chancellor.”
STH_redemption.42.desc:0 “Our Federation liaison has contacted our security teams, they regret to inform us that Duras entered into single combat with the son of Mogh and was slain as an act of Vengence for killing the Federation Ambassador. It is amusing that the Federation is so concerned about this act, they forget we are Klingons and the right of vengence and combat is in our blood.. We shall await the son of Mogh presenting himself to us for judgment.”
STH_redemption.46.desc:0 “Our spies in the Klingon Empire have confirmed that their Chancellor has finally succumbed to the poison that our agents have been pumping into the fool’s Bloodwine. The next phase of our plan comes into effect.”
STH_redemption.47.desc:0 “It is time to confirm the position of Chancellor [Root.GetRulerName] in front of the Klingon High Council and our allies. We should send out invites and begin a new era in the Empires grand history.”
STH_redemption.48.desc:0 “Qapla’ to our allies! I invite you to travel to Qo’noS to celebrate in my ascension to my rightful position as ruler of the Klingon Empire, no thanks to the help that you provided. I look forward to showing your representative a true Klingon welcome!”
STH_redemption.52.desc:0 “The Rebel fleet has been destroyed, but not before allowing the rebel leaders to escape the planet’s surface. Could this be the first skirmish in a Klingon Civil War?”
STH_redemption.54.desc:0 “It is now unfortunately clear that the situation within the Klingon Empire is only heading one way… towards a civil war between the Houses of Duras and Gowron. However, whilst this remains quite clear, what is concerning is how the rebel faction is managing to build up a rapid supply of ships, weapons and resources well beyond their means. The influence of another major empire working behind the scenes is now all but confirmed.”
STH_redemption.56.desc:0 “Exposing the House of Duras has started a chain of events that has set in motion a Klingon Civil War, far earlier than anyone could have expected and has forced the hand of the Romulans, pulling them into the war. Now we shall see which faction is strong enough to lead the Empire as a true Klingon!”
STH_redemption.57.desc:0 “As many predicted, forcing the House of Duras’ hand has resulted in the Klingon Empire descending into a potentially brutal civil war. We shall soon see which House is strongest and who will lead the Empire.”
STH_redemption.58.desc:0 “It appears the fools within the House of Duras, having been humiliated in front ot their allies have taken the foolish move to begin the planned Klingon Civil war far too early, in their desperation they appear to have named our involvement and dragged us into their war!”
STH_redemption.60.desc:0 “Our military council grows ever more concerned that our enemy is managing to build up its forces at an alarming rate, they must be getting help from an outside power, most likely those Romulan cowards, who would never dare confront us directly! With all our forces searching for the rebels we must once again turn to the humans to help.”
STH_redemption.61.desc:0 “Qapla’ [Root.GetRulerName] the cowardly Romulans are clearly attempting to bolster the fighting power of our rebel factions, over the past weeks weapons, ships and resources have found their way into the Rebel’s hands. We seek the aid of our friends to stop this from happening.”
STH_redemption.62.desc:0 “The Federation has responded to our ask and agreed to set up a Tachyon Dection Grid along our border, whilst it would have been better for them to have provided ships and torpedos, this action should remove the Romulan threat.”
STH_redemption.63.desc:0 “The Federation has sent their regrets that they cannot involve themselves in ‘internal Klingon matters’ and they will not be offering to help us. We must deal with this situation on our own.”
STH_redemption.64.desc:0 “The fleet continued to scan the border for any sign of ships attempting to cross the border, suddenly one of the ships broke formation and fired a volley of low-yield torpedoes into a seemingly empty section of space. All of a sudden a shimmer and energy spike is seen on viewers, this can only be a cloak fleet attempting to break the border blockade! “
STH_redemption.65.desc:0 “The fleet continues to scan the border for any sign of ships attempting to cross the border to aid the Klingon rebels. Several hours pass with no sign of any ships attempting to breach the blockade. It appears our attempt to stop the Romulans crossing the border has either failed or the Romulans have thought better of it.”

STH_prodigy.88.desc:0 “Breaking free of the Collective’s hold was difficult but Zero manages it, whilst putting the Collective back into their slumber. The Borg may not hold the answers to the Construct, but Zero found an inner strength and belief in themselves.”
