Captain's Log: Stardate: 62247.2 We have discovered some type of an artificial planet. I believe that this may be the last stronghold of the Impostors. We have manage to wipe out their fleet. Without the advantage of their portal system, they are not very worthy adversaries. I believe that the purpose of the attack on Angel One was an attempt to gain another foothold and start their network. They chose Angel One due to its location, and the fact that it is still a pre warp civilization and unable to defend itself from such an enemy. The Impostors are essentially a "Humanoid virus" they survive by becoming who they mimic. They did this to the Federation President and his Wife back in 2385, along with other top ranking officials, and officers. They come from an alternate universe that has now collapsed. We surmise that this is due to the extensive use of this portaling system. If allowed to complete their plans, they would start a similar process in our own universe. This artificial planet of theirs is simply too large for the battle group. We could fire on that thing for days before we hit a sensitive spot. I have a plan worked out with the USS Khitomer. She will go in first and attack from the inside. She has a lot of top secret weapons. Things that I cannot mention here in my log. I believe there is only one thing left to do in this situation. We have something on board that even the crew, other than myself, the XO and Mr Khambatti even know about. The less who know, the better. I will inform the crew adamantly that anyone going anywhere near these devices, other the aforementioned crew, will walk the plank.

Captain's Log: Stardate: 62266.6
We are in fairly good shape despite the pounding we took from the Impostors.
Currently, we are on course for SB 266 where the ship will undergo repairs.
On a lighter note. Two of our crew will tying the bonds of matrimony. I am very happy for them.
After the festivities, we will either enjoy some leave, or take a temporary assignment with another ship until Polaris is repaired.
I am recommending the entire staff for commendations. I have also decided to, unknown to them have Dr McCoy perform a mild engramatic purge to erase the memory of the Nemesis device. I know that they were behind me onthis, but I cannot allow them to come into potential danger as a result of knowledge of this device.

Captain's Log: Stardate: 62285.6 We are still at SB 266. Polaris is wil have a good bit of repairs done to her before we take her out again. She held up well in battle, under tremendous firepower. She will now undergo some upgrades as well as an improved advanced tactical Pod. We have been asked to take a temporary assignment on a different ship. The USS Hayden. This is a newer prototype Starship. I have been looking over the engine specifications and I find it very ingenious. I will be sending the Specs of the ship to my Chief Engineer, Lt Kitona. She will be expected to learn the these new engines very quickly and understand the shortcomings of the ship. The Hayden is not a Capitol ship. She is 8 decks compared to the Polaris' 30. My Science Officer, Commander Mellisarri and OPS offiocer, Lt Hooper will find the sensors of this ship most unusual. The entire sensor pod array is linked directly to the warp core. This ship has the most powerful sensors of any starfleet vessel. Our mission will be one of exploration and we will be on the fringes of known space. We will be able to detect and scan ships while we are far out of their own sensor range. We will be exploring some territories that both the Federation and the Klingon Empire Have little or no intel on. Klingon intelligence has recently reported that ships of unknown design have appeared in certain territories. We will attempt to gather intel on inhabited planets in the areas we are assigned to.

Captain's log: Stardate:62325.9. We are aboard the USS Hayden, A newly designed Starship. She is quite small compared to Polaris, but for the moment she's all we have. We received a transponder signal form Amir and Mellisari. It is a personal transponder signal that i had him take with in case anything happened. It appears to have been a good idea. The long range scanners on the Hayden have enabled us to spot the transport. We are currently trying to assess the situation. This ship is not heavily armed, I am hoping we'll get some backup before too long. In the mean time, We're not letting that transport out of our sight.

Captain's Log: Stardate:62343.1. Temporary Command: USS Hayden. Currently in an attempt to rescue hostages on an unarmed transport attacked and apprehended by Ship of unknown Origin. Two of my Crew are on that Transport. LtCmdr Mellisari, MCPO Amir Khambatti. The Couple is on their Honeymoon. My Crew and I are forced to tackle a delicate situation in a ship we are not accustomed to. We will have to learn fast, or buy time for backup.

Captain's Log: Stardate: 62362.3. A Starfleet Ambassador has been sent out to address the territory problem with the Aliens we encountered. I am grateful my Science officer and VS are home and the Polaris is ready to sail again. I'm sure we all missed her, but she did her job well, and deserved a little TLC of her own. I look forward to resuming our mission.

Ship's Log: Stardate:62403.1
The Imlubari have violated the border agreement. We were attacked by three of their cruisers. They weren't much of a match for us, but they knew that. Another ship was off in the distance, which suggested to me that they were baiting us, and attempting to analyze our weapons in an attempt to learn from us and upgrade their own. Not much is known about this race but it has been made clear that they are an aggressive species and they will take any opportunity to seize territory, technology, and a tactical advantage. I deemed this a potential threat, and ordered the ship across the border to dispatch the observing vessel. If my hunch was right, I could not let that ship survive with any data they may have gathered. I am not a killer. I regret this decision, but I am a Starfleet command officer and it is my job to make decisions that I believe are in the Federation's best interest. I deemed this action necessary, as a potential safe guard for the future. Currently, we remain at the border, searching for the Rogue Starship, and I will have Mellisari run long range scans to locate their home world.

Captain's Log: Stardate: 60244.9. We have found ourselves in a very unusual situation. We have come upon a class M world, industril society, roughly twentieth century. We have also encountered a strange group of beings. Some were on the planet's moon. We detected another "cluster" of them heading for the planet. These beings, whatever they are, seem to react on the solar radiation. Science dept. suggests that if it were only attracted to solar radiation they would be heading for the sun, not the planet. Now, another situation. The planet itself is now on full alert and if this continues, it could mean global thermonuclear war for this planet. That would be a shame, because this world shows promise. It is evident that a chain of events is transpiring here. We must find the cause and effect of this. Hopefully in time to prevent this war. We have managed to get a close-up of one of the beings on the planet's moon.

Captain's Log: Stardate: 62460.3. We have come to a crossroads and I have to make a decision as to how to handle this situation. This is one of the worst of all possible scenarios and is one of the reasons why the prime directive is adamant about contact with pre-warp civilizations. I have already violated the prime directive by rescuing the two Astronauts form their planet's moon. I have proceeded on this course based on a hunch. This planet has been observed by another species that is radically different than any I've encountered before. They appear to be some kind of an insectoid race. We have finally gotten a closer picture of the Cloudlike object. It is a swarm of them. They are apparently moving about each other in this cloud in order to create friction and heat for themselves. This could be why the first message we translated said: "Cold". If what I believe is correct, than the natural order of this planet has already been tampered with. I think these Aliens feed on radiation. They were watching this planet because thy are still in their nuclear age, years away from implementing cleaner, more efficient power sources. I believe these things are attracted to the radiation, and somehow are causing the plant's defense systems to take alert. If a nuclear war were to occur on this planet, these aliens would then have a feeding frenzy, absorbing the radiation, then moving on find another food source. This is a pattern for many species of insects. I believe that this planet was not on the brink of war. These 2 Astronauts represent both factions of the planet, so this moon mission was a collaborative effort between them. If, in fact this war is being induced by this other race, then We must do what we can to stop it and save millions of potential lives on this world.

Captain's Log: Stardate: 62501.7.What was supposed to be a pleasure cruise is now becoming an active duty mission.
I had been using my time off to build my own Starship. It was supposed to be a big Yacht. Something I used for fun. I also liked the idea of using older but good condition ship parts. Mostly things from Scotty's era.
Scotty helped out a great deal in the building of this ship. He still has an active mind and now that he's retired to the Olympus Mons retirement reseach facility, he can do what he wants, unincumbered by Terran gravity.
I decided to call the ship Olympus Mons class. Admiral Helm had no problem with me doing this, the only stipulation is that it be used for Cadet training when I wouldn't be using it. I had no problem with that. I did most of my Cadet study on a Constellation class ship. Picard's old ship, the Stargazer.
We have been contacted by what appears to be a time travel agent from the future. He has asked us for help. Eveidently someone has, or will do something to alter the timeline. He believes that The events that took place before the signing of the Khitomer accords are going to be altered, or prevented. Evidently that's what we have to find out. I hate the idea of time travel, but not to act may lead to our own nonexistence.
I have called for the rest of my Crew and the agent claims he will contact us again.

Ship's Log: Stardate:62534.9 We are about to embark on the strangest mission yet. My personal ship must now become an active duty ship in the time period from where the parts came from. Building the ship was a hobby. Travelling through time is not. I can only hope that we complete this task as quickly as possible and get ourselves back home. One thing is certain, the ship is in fine working order and the design is sound. With the upgrades done we have an advantage over Starships of the period. I only hope it will be enough of an advantage to make the difference and repair the timeline.

Ship's Log: Stardate 9521.6 (Current timeline) We are in the Khitomer star system and have obscured ourselves behind a moon to stay out of the way of local scans. Our updated multiphasic shields make it difficult for anything in this period to get a clear scan of us. Our sensors have far more range and sensitivity. We are lying in wait, examining the original events of this period and waiting to take action. I think it may be possible that something will happen during the fight between Chang's ship and the Enterprise and Excelsior. I think something may come along to turn the tide in that battle. I can only hope we are enough to turn it back.

Stardate: 62611.9.
We have successfully Completed opur mission and have retuned to Earth. The meeting with the JAG officer Went very smoothly, and we are not permitted to speak of this incident to anyone.
That is just fine with me. I'd sooner this whole ordeal be forgotten. It could have worse. I am still unhappy about being forced to take such a mission with an Exec that was about to give birth.

Captain's Log: Stardate: 62650.3 We have been dispatched to the Class M planet Adrianaconda. This is the home of a humanoid race That is entering its Bronze age. We have been asked to investigate the presence of a civilian transport ship, The S.S. Assissi. The ship is an old, reconditioned Ptolemy class ship owned by the "Church of Galactic Truth". While they are a Civilian group, so not bound by Starfleet's Prime Directive, the Admiralty is concerned. We have made contact with the ship, but they are not allowing us to inspect them. In addition, my officers tell me that they detect the presecnce of Frerengi on the transport. Commander Kitona says that she had met this "Reverend Mother" once before, and befriended her aide, who does not seem to be with her. We have a mystery to solve, a rampant Civilian vessel, and a society that I wish to preserve from contamination from these people.

Captain's Log: Stardate: 62784.7. It is just a matter of time now. We have the target in sight. With the Klingons' help we shoul be able to discourage this next "Phased" incursion. Both Amir and Mellisari Khambatti are confident we can do it. Still we are facing an unknown. We have sent a long range recorder-marker in a warp eight casing toward the center of Federation space. This will tell them all that has transpired and what action we are taking. We had received a message from something called "The Crusade". If the translators have interpreted that word in the traditional sense, it could mean some kind of Holy war or "Jihad" is coming our way. Personal log: This is of concern to me. All through history there have been those who have pushed their own ways and beliefs on others. Force, coercion and manipulation are often used. If they are coming here, there is a reason. Wars are waged for a reason. They must need something. Not only expansion of their influence, but resources. These are reasons to go to war. Too often have these reasons been cloaked by things like Religious conversion. I will attempt to hail them, if possible. But they have already attacked the Kingons, our Allies. This tells me they don't really want to talk.

Captain's Log: Stardate: 62880.3 The USS Vigilant has proven a very worthy little ship. We unfortunately had to shoot down an Imubari cruiser over the Planet Milantheus. I can only hope that we have done our best to minimize the damage to the planet's ecosystem. Perhaps we could rig some type of compound to launch into their atmosphere and protect the surface from being irradiated. In the meantime we will continue surveying the area and getting reports on Imlubari activity.

Captain's Log: Star Date; 63148.55. We have left the Starbase, and are currently heading for Delta quadrant space. It feels good to be back on the Polaris. I love the Kili, but for this mission only this ship will do. The potential danger here of this mission greatyly concerns me, especially with a pregnant crewmember on board. I have ordered all children, and nonessential personnel to remain at Central point. I also had a less than pleasant conversation with DTI Director Appolonia. She seems to feel That it was brash o me to attack the aliens that appeared to be encompassin the station. I did what any good Officer would have done if they saw what appeared to be a starbase in trouble. In the meantime, we are looking for two ships. USS Ascension and USS Ranger. I hope both are fairing well out there. Attachments:

Captain's Log; Star Date:63187.5. We are currently at a Crossroads. Either I will convince the Vidiian Commander to stand down and allow our aid, or I cannot allow their ships into Federation territory. I think that this Commander is a thoughtful man. He had mentioned that the Commander in the Klingon sector was Convinced that something called the "Kuvah'magh" was the key to their salvation. After communicating with the data bass of the Klingon Honor Guard, we discovered that this is an obscure religious Klingon Reference. Also, according to Starfleet records, The USS Voyager discover a Klingon D-7 in the Delta quadrant. These Klingons were suffering from some sort of illness and also believed that this Kuvah'magh was their key to their freedom from it. They believed that the unborn child of Engineer B'elanna Torres and Her Husband, Helmsman Tomas Paris held the key. A serum was derived from the amniotic fluid of the child that cured these Klingons. There were many prophecies surrounding the coming of the kuvah'magh, such as: "You would know me before I know the world." "You will follow in my footsteps before I have made them." "The kuvah'magh is younger than old age and stronger than sickness." I don't pretend to have a working knowledge of Klingon Religion. I need to dig deeper and find out what it is they think they need. Are they trying to find the daughter of Torres and Paris? or perhaps there is something else. This aforemetioned verse may hold some kind of key. Attachments:

Captain's Log: Star Date: 63206.5. I believe that I have gained the trust of the Vidiian Commander. He fired on one of his own ships to stop it from attacking. This mission is somewhat emotional for me. As my people were virtually slaves at one time, so have these been enslaved to this volatile disease. I have drawn Streangth from reading of Cpatain Picard's reports. He had a chance to destroy the Borg, yet he chose not to, despite what they did to him. How they mutilated him. Picard is a man of great intestinal fortitude, and most importantly, He understood Mercy. We are at a delicate crossroads. Dr Greywolf is synthesizing a serum from the amniotic fluid of Commander Mellisari. I am betting that they believe the Kuvah'Magh to be a hybrid. and perhaps hybrid DNA is the missing piece to an effective serum. If we are successful, the posibilites are endless. The Vidiian can return to being the Artisans, sculptors, painters, Poets and Musicians they once were. And the medical knowledge they could share with us could save potentially billions of lives. The next step is how to proceed.Attachments:

Captain's Log: Star Date: 63263.6 Thanks to the Medical skills of Dr's Greywolf and McCoy, We have stopped the Vidiian Phage. I am reccomending Dr Greywolf for Commendation from Starfleet Medical. This has been a monumentous breakthrough. Once the Vidiians begin to recover, We will settle them on a planet so thy may have a home here in this quadrant. The amount of Medical data that we could obtain from them would be worth a king's ransom to SFM. It has also been brought to my attention that Exodus has been called to Central point. What Admiral Helm has in mind for them, I don't know, but I intend to be at that meeting. Helm wishes to address us as well. on what, I cannot say.Attachments:
