    Hello,

    First of all thank you to all those who attended the eighth and final episode, I am very glad to say that it has been a very successful run, even with all the technical issues. Please keep an eye out for further information about future roleplays. Now the mission synopsis:

    We done it... the Zephan gateway has been destroyed... the Cardassian 11th Order is now pulling out of the sector, after the mysterious disappearance Gul Gadar, along with the rest of the Zephan fleet - who retreated after the collapse of the gateway, in the direction of the Gamma Quadrant.

    With the help of the Klingons, we were able to destroy the Cardassian outpost in the Xi Entrades system, although the Klingon taskforce took heavy casualties but were still able and willing to pus in the Albirea along with our forces. After we regrouped with the 9th Fleet in the Poseidon, we launched a two pronged attack into the Albirea system.

    With the Zephan Fleet split across two fronts, it was much easier to break through into the Albirea system - there forces also quickly retreated deeper into the system to defend the gateway. At which point, the Enterprise along with the 6th, and 8th Fleet merged with our fleet and immediately joined us to go on a full offensive to the gateway.

    Whilst the Enterprise, and our fleet held off the Zephan fleet a small detachment from the 9th fleet managed to get close enough to the gateway to launch 2 tricobalt devices into the heart of the gateway. This had the immediate effect of creating an overload in the Omega Particle core that powered the gateway, this lead to a full retreat from our forces so we wouldn't be affected by the subspace side effects of the Omega particle overload.

    As soon as the gateway was destroyed, General Kar'ak and his fleet cloaked and presumably left the sector but I am just very glad to have had his help - I just hope that is not the last time we meet in a spirit of cooperation, but only time will tell.

    Whilst we have taken heavy losses throughout this endeavour, it felt like I lost members of my family today...our first losses in the Task Force - even through the Dominion War we never lost 1 ship, and now in this endeavour we lost 4 ships. We shall never forget those who sacrificed themselves to stop the Zephan expanse, including the crews and captains of the following starships:

    USS Columbus,
    USS Melbourne,
    USS Republic,

    and USS Charleston

    We lost many good friends on this dark day, but we have to make sure it wasn't for nothing. I have been informed by Admiral Ross, that the 5th fleet will be tasked in this sector now. Working from Starbase 253, they will continue to expand our mining efforts in this sector and explore further benefits of this Zelon.

    My task force, along with the battle effected fleet, will now proceed back to Earth for repairs, recrew and refits before proceeding to wherever Starfleet Command sends us - set a course, for home. Admiral Moorey, over and out.


    Could everyone who attended - if they would like - post a kind of "Captains logs", which doesn't have to be long, to get more involved in the role-play and provide a more detailed account from multiple perspectives, and also send out the roleplay with a bang Cool

    My thanks to Ben Hurley, Christopher Halsey, Chugster, Dentari, Jonathan F-G, Jordan, McClintock, Minnow, Sammygm and Sharpkiller.

    Star Trek: Hydra has now concluded, thank you to everyone who attended for all your support and patience.

    Regards

    Hydra was Reserves 'Great Experiment' and I must say, I think it turned out pretty damn well. Looking forward to similar events in the future. Hopefully I get the chance to stick with the same Captain on the next one! Smile
