Broken Mirror

The "Broken Mirror" chronicle spans roughly 2 years, with sporadic events in 2420 and 2421, and the culmination of those events in 2422, and involved a conflict between the Khitomer Alliance and the Terran Empire.

### 2420-2421: Reflections

In November of 2420, RADL Julia Amiga was made aware of a research project by Starfleet Intelligence at Starfleet Black Site Omega-3 Tango. This project involved refitting phased cloaking technology onto additional ship platforms, such as the *Avenger*-class starship.

At this time, The Terran Empire was already hatching a plot on the orders of then-Captain Julia Amiga (Mirror) to replace RADL Amiga, unknown that the project was underway. In December of that year, the kidnapping was launched, and Captain Amiga replaced the Admiral, having her taken as a prisoner for interrogation. In January of 2421, Captain Amiga launched her plan, stealing the U.S.S. *Warspite* and took it to the Black Site. Under false pretenses, she gained access to, and compromised the security of the site, and called in Terran Reinforcements to cover her theft of the U.S.S. *Jupiter*;the testbed for the refit cloaking device. Over the course of the next months, Joint Task Force Bellerophon devised a plan to rescue the Admiral, in addition to a captured Captain Rollins, as well as an attempt to destroy the seized *Jupiter* and retake the *Warspite*. While they were able to rescue both and recover the *Warspite*, the *Jupiter* was lost. JTFB Retreated to Starbase Olympus to repel a Terran fleet assault, and while they were successful, the starbase was heavily damaged by the I.S.S. *Menelaus*, now equipped with the Phased cloaking device.

### 2422: Broken Mirror

In 2422, the Terran Empire launched a new campaign to assault the Federation, striking first at a Starfleet Intelligence base in the Izar system, and a follow-up attack at Jupiter Station. JTFB was sortied to assist at Jupiter Station to hold off the Terran forces, resulting in damage to the USS Brazzaville and the USS Cheron. In the aftermath, it was discovered that Captain Amiga, now Commodore Amiga, raided Copernicus Station; a joint Romulan and Federation research base. It was determined that the Terrans were after information and technology relating to the Borg Collective.

Shortly after the attack, the Terrans launched a raid on Minos Corva, attacking the colony there with a Borg assimilation weapon. The QRF that arrived on-scene managed to damage one of the Terran vessels and were able to glean intelligence from its databanks on a major Terran shipyard: Hades Station. Hades Station serviced 3 separate task groups that formed Terran Battle Group Chimera, where Commodore Amiga was assigned as head of Weapons Research and Development. At present, Commodore Amiga was perfecting a Borg weapon for deployment at this station, and JTFB took the initiative to capture one of the ships slated for retrofit with this weapon. During the operation, they encountered Captain Alexander Carter of the Coalition; a force of rebels opposing the Empire, who agreed to join forces and help JTFB steal the ship.

Unfortunately, these events came on the heels of a sudden power change within the Empire. Commodore Amiga assassinated the Fleet Commander of Battlegroup Chimera, and took his place as commander. Using her newly acquired position, she was able to consilidate the resources necessary to accelerate the weapons program, and was even forgiven for her initiative by the Imperial Court. Taking this as a sign of her credibility, she launched an infiltration mission into Tal Shiar Space to identify and locate a Borg Vinculum. The purpose for this Vinculum was so that she could accomplish assembling a neural uplink with assimilated vessels, utilizing the services of Inquisitor Albarn and Doctor Samus Aran. Retrieving information obtained through Sub-Commander Nadan of the Tal Shiar, she instructed a task group led by Captain Hayes to acquire the Vinculum and return with it intact.

The team, comprised of Captain Hayes, Commander Forrester, Commander Brookfield, Inquisitor Albarn, Doctor Samus Aran, Lieutenant [[Shelly Piper]], and LT Adami, successfully managed to hit a Tal Shiar base, capture the I.R.W. *Vorta Vor,* and breached a Tal Shiar research base where a damaged Borg Cube was held. Unbeknownst to them, Commander Sayaka Miki of JTFB's J2 divison was already there to meet with and extract a Roepublic Intelligence Operative, who persuaded her to assist him in sabotaging the Vinculum. In the process, Doctor Aran amanged to destroy the console she was working on and injured her, allowing the Terrans to abscond with the Vinculum, just as Admiral Amiga arrived to destroy the base. With the Vinculum in hand, the Terrans retreated to the Mirror Universe to begin preparations for their next campaign, as well as allow Admiral Amiga to conduct her next project: establishing a control protocol over an army of Borg Drones.
