Game History

 * Assigned to a Five Year Mission under Captain T'Lorel in 2301.


 * Successfully mapped the Josephine System, discovering a mineral-rich world in 2301 Q1. [+50 BR, New BR Mining Colony Option]


 * Fended off an attack by three fiercely territorial space-dwelling organisms in the asteroid belt of the Ripley System, destroying them in the process in 2301 Q2. [+10 RP]


 * Ambushed by the Bjeorni, cultists who worship the space organisms in 2301 Q3. All four enemy ships are destroyed, with only some damage taken in the process. Observations from afar of a new set of space organisms continued afterwards. [+10 RP]


 * Restored order to the Andorian colony of Shar Kallor in 2301 Q4. Two security personnel are killed in the process, but a peace was forcibly agreed to between the opposing colonial factions. [+5 PP]


 * After encountering a Romulan task force in the Ulysses System in 2302 Q1, located in the Romulan Neutral Zone near Klingon and Romulan space, successfully outraced them to protect the Klingon colony of Tregh'bak. The Sarek emerged victorious in the resultant Battle of Tregh'bak. [Relationship with the Klingon Empire improved. Learned of new 2m ton Romulan explorer.]


 * Made First Contact with the Dawiar in the Oriolis System in 2302 Q2. With no understanding of deflector technology, a number of Dawiar small attack craft performing close passes of the Sarek collide with the Sarek's shields, which lead to an all-out Dawiar attack in response. The Sarek, having redirected full power to shields, easily proves impervious. After waiting out the Dawiar's attacks, the Sarek was able to return to peaceful communications and open diplomatic channels. [Dawiar relations 15/100, +5 PP]


 * While concluding scans of the Firaian System in 2302 Q3, was forced to turn back to Vulcan as Captain T’Lorel undergoes pon farr. Upon return to Vulcan, T'Lorel marries her childhood bondmate, Sulak and brings him aboard the ship. [Sarek gains Sulak, +1H]


 * Investigated the threat of the Ihrloth on Kadeth V in 2302 Q4. After reaffirming their continued hostility to all conventional forms of life, Captain T'Lorel ordered the Sarek to fire its phasers down onto the artificial geological formation the Ihrloth were using to entrap and possess travelers, disabling it and preventing any future infections. [+10 PP, +10 RP]


 * Intercepted the SS Franklin in 2303 Q1 after the ship was detected on an unauthorized course. Contact with the freighter revealed it had been completely infected by the Ulith III Biophage, and the Sarek was forced to destroy the ship. Following the Franklin's origin point back to Dunwich IV, the Sarek observed the destruction of the SS Nkumba by the Romulans before joining the standoff against the Romulans with the USS Kumari. Afterwards joined the combined Federation fleet in the destruction of the Dunwich IV colony.


 * Made First Contact with the Caldonians in the Vispus System in 2303 Q2, just rimward of the Romulan Border Zone. The appearance of the Sarek provoked great interest in the scientifically minded natives, with the Sarek sharing much cultural and scientific knowledge with the Caldonians. They were particularly impressed after the Sarek went through a series of drills, including an orbital phaser strike on a desert test site. Fascinated, the Caldonians decided to fast track to Affiliate Membership, selecting and dispatching representatives to the Federation. [Gain Federation Affiliate - Caldonians, +5 PP, +5 RP/turn]


 * While traveling to the Caitian mining colony on Ferasa in 2303 Q3 to assist Ambassador Shaan sh'Pelleth in negotiations over a windfall of special materials recently found, discovered the ambassador kidnapped. The Sarek tracked down the pirates, launching a stealthy assault via shuttles and micro-warp jumping next to their base to take out their defenses. The ambassador was successfully rescued, the pirates captured and their base destroyed in the aftermath. [+25 SR, +25 relations with Caitians]


 * Part of the Romulan Border Zone fleet in 2303 Q4 M1 that faced off against the IRW Devoras until the USS Enterprise arrived to be escorted to Romulus.


 * Recalled from Explorer Corp duties and assigned to the Romulan Border Zone in 2303 Q4 M1 as part of the Starfleet redeployment to combat the Ulith III Biophage.


 * As part of the RBZ Sector Fleet under command of Commodore T’Faer, was assigned to defend the Vulcan colony of Solitude alongside the USS Courageous in 2303 Q4 M1.


 * Found and destroyed a wave of cloaked Biophage shuttles in 2303 Q4 M2 after they slipped past the Courageous but before they could reach Solitude.


 * Part of the task force led by Commodore T'Faer in 2303 Q4 M3 to investigate what would later be known as the Kadeshi colony world of Birkaad III. Surface batteries from infected surface attempted to ineffectively fire on the task force, only for the Sarek to take them out with orbital phaser strikes. The investigation would prove fruitful, with research on the Biophage furthered and a general direction of the Kadeshi homeworld discovered.


 * Along with the Courageous in 2304 Q1 M1, used sensor data gathered by the USS T'Mir earlier that month to detect the ex-T'Seren approaching the Solitude colony and outpost. After fending off three waves of twelve shuttles launched by the infected warbird, the two Excelsiors moved in to engage the fleeing mothership. In the ensuing battle, the Sarek took major damage, losing their shields and getting hit by an infection beam that required internal EPS venting. In return, the ex-T'Seren lost its shields, with significant damage dealt to one of its shuttle factories as well as other structural damage before it escaped into warp.


 * Battle damage taken by the Sarek included: three saucer section deflector emitters burned out; hull breach caused by disruptors, Deck 3, Deck 5-6, Deck 9-10; significant Electro-Plasma damage due to intentional venting on Decks 7 through 10, Saucer Section Frames 17 through 20; burn out of two primary structural integrity field emitters; blow-out of Port Plasma Pre-Cooler Assembly, Destruction of Phaser Bank 4. In the aftermath of the battle, the Sarek was transferred to the 40 Eridani A Shipyards for repairs and given priority over the in-construction Excelsior there. [Repairs: 6M, 20 BR, 15 SR. 2E, 1T of crew lost.]


 * While repairs were expedited on the Sarek, the ship was relaunched early despite being unfinished as part of the general call for reinforcements by the Enterprise in 2304 Q1 M2.


 * Took part in the First Battle of Kadesh in 2304 Q1 M2, notably taking no damage despite the heavy losses suffered by the victorious joint Federation/Romulan fleet.


 * Took part in the Battle of Koba in 2304 Q1 M2, with the combined Federation/Romulan/Kadeshi fleet achieving victory.


 * Took part in the Kadak-Tor Crisis, tracking Kadak-Tor all the way to the Hophos system, 2310.Q1.


 * Worked with Task Force Unity, attempting to resolve the Coreward Border Crisis, and when it blew up into warfare, working towards first a cease-fire, and then a peace treaty.
