Battle of Suronia

The Battle of Suronia was a battle fought over the planet of Suronia Prime. The battle marked the beginning of the Year 2.5 - The Pryde Invasion.

## History

Suronia Prime (Suronia III), home of the Suronian Empire in the Lambda Quadrant came under attack by The Pryde of Ma'lkon in November 2420. The Pryde attempted to *Prydeform* the planet by placing several Eternium injectors into the planet's oceans. Requesting help from the United Commonwealth of Planets, the Commonwealth High Guard Fleet and the Primary Fleet was able to successfully attack the Pryde, who were using Eternium infested New Romulan Star Empire vessels that were infested following the Pryde's attack on Leahval in January 2420.

Upon successful destruction of the injectors in Suronia's oceans, the Pryde vessels became lifeless and crashed into the ocean.

Commonwealth Consortium Class

## History

Named for the Black Eye Consortium, one of the major economic members of the United Commonwealth of Planets, the *Consortium-Class* is an extremely specialised and dedicated research and science vessel dedicated towards exploration, resource management, scientific experimentation and salvaging mission profiles.

Utilising a completely unique design, the *Consortium-Class* is 300 meters in length and can host at least 50 different modular laboratory suites to fit many different mission profiles.

Despite its somewhat average size for most Commonwealth vessels, the *Consortium-Class* is equipped with the most powerful tractor beam emitters in the Fleet. Developed by the Black Eye Consortium for use in salvage operations, the *Consortium-Class* is capable of *tugging* objects several times its mass, as well as pulling objects from extremely dangerous environments such as *Class-6 Gas Giant*, which is normally impossible for traditional Starfleet vessels.

The *Consortium-Class* also contains some of the most powerful modular sensors and shielding in the Fleet, with both enhanced *metaphasic* and *temporal* properties, allowing the vessel to investigate even the most dangerous environments.

## Tactical Systems

The *Consortium-Class* is equipped with experimental *Type XIV-Commonwealth Transphasic Phaser Arrays*. Based on *Transphasic* weapons technology developed by the Argussian Republic, for use on the Argussian Coronet Class vessel, these weapons deliver a powerful subspace compression pulse which projects a portion of the energy weapon damage across mutiple subspace frequencies, allowing for impressive shield penetration as well as doing some damage to Eternium and Pryde vessels.

The *Consortium-Class* is also equipped with the experimental *Tempest Torpedo*, this torpedo, developed by *Commonwealth Intelligence* is the result of combining standard *Q-2 Quantum Torpedoes* with the newly discovered element of Tempestrium, producing a powerful subspace nullification effect which causes the mutual destruction of negative energy particles while causing less subspace damage then a *Tricobalt Torpedo*.

The *Consortium Class* is also equipped with;

* Standard *Q-2 Quantum Torpedoes* and *Type VII Photon Torpedoes.*
* Aurellian Tactical Combat Sensor Suite
* Chioni Hexadecimal (Six-Layered) Plasma Enhanced Shielding (with Enhanced Chioni EPS Conduits - Also currently used on U.S.S. Callisto)
* Ctarl-Ctarl Emergency Phase Inverter System (Equipped on Escape Pods)

Aventis Steel

Aventis Steel, also known as *"Aventinite"* is one of the most closely guarded secrets in the entire Aventis Empire. Analysis by the United Commonwealth of Planets seems to indicate that Aventis Steel is not completely traditional steel but is a complex alloy consisting of several different components combined at the molecular level, including traditional iron ore and other minerals unique to several planets within the Aventis Empire such as Chilton (Yanshire IX).

As such, Aventis Steel is a unique element to the Aventis Empire and has many unusual properties, able to absorb most forms of directed particle energy including both traditional *disruptors* and even Commonwealth Transphasic Phaser Technology, dispersing the particles through a process similar to that found in Ablative Armour.

It is unknown currently what other elements are used in the process of smelting Aventis Steel however the result is a slight blue colouration to weapons crafted from such a process, Commonwealth research has indicated that Aventis Steel may possess a unique crystal lattice structure which may be capable of absorbing and redistributing energy directed at the element.

Due to this redistribution, Aventis Steel weapons are also able to produce a limited level of *phased energy retification*, allowing Aventis Steel weapons to produce particle bolts, which can serve as a temporary ranged defensive option to most *Aventis Knights*.

As a result of this, Aventis Steel has become one of the primary building and crafting materials of the Aventis Empire, being used in the construction of most Aventis vessels, armour, personal weaponry and buildings, able to withstand temperatures of over 3000 degrees celsius, more then double the melting point of traditional steel.

As such, Aventis Steel has become a widely sought commodity both within and beyond the Aventis Empire, with even the Black Eye Consortium unable to understand the process of creating it, lending to the perception of the Aventis as one of the best craftsman within the Black Eye Galaxy. Aventis Steel weapons are among some of the most precious weapons amongst Aventis troops, with only those who have obtained the rank of *Knight* being able to commission them.

## Notes

* *Aventis Steel* is inspired by such legendary and mythical metals such as *Orichalcum,* a legendary and possibly mythical metal used by the *Ancient Greek* legend of *Atlantis*.
* *Aventis Steel* also resembles a real world historical alloy known as *Damascus Steel*, which was a forged steel characterised by distinctive patterns of banding and mottling reminiscent of flowing water. Many legends surrounding *Damascus Steel* have emerged over the centuries on Earth, such as the ability to cut through a rifle barrel or cut a hair falling onto the blade. Modern attempts to create *Damascus Steel* has unfortunately not been entirely successful and its forging process is generally considered to be lost knowledge.
Harlot (Harlot III)

## History

Harlot III, or simply *"Harlot"* is an H Class planet in close proximity to the Hexadecimal Nebula on the border of Strategos space in the Tau Quadrant of the Black Eye Galaxy.

Despite not possessing warp technology, the current people of Harlot came to live there from the Class M world of Harlot IV. The native Harlot people were on the cusp of developing their first extraterrestrial colony in 2365 when Harlot IV exploded, causing the destruction of the Harlot civilisation except for the colonists on Harlot III.

The cause of the explosion on Harlot II is not actually known but the build of residual radiation in the area seems to indicate that it may have had something to do with the proximity of the Hexadecimal Nebula.

As a result of the orbital shift, Harlot III quickly began to experience massive climate change, changing from a viable Class M world to the desert environment of a Class H.

As a result of these massive changes, the Harlot colony on Harlot III quickly descended in chaos and lawlessness with several Barons emerging out of the chaos to control much of the planets underground water supply and therefore, many of the settlements on the surface fell under their control.

Later visits by the Talonian Empire allowed Harlot to quickly establish itself as hive of piracy, crime and destitution, providing a safe harbour for many different races looking to fence stolen goods.

Harlot was encountered by the U.S.S. Nightshade in 2420 who barely managed to escape the planet after meeting with the extravagant Baron of one of the settlements on Harlot. The Baron sought to capture the Nightshade and use its warp drive to conduct piracy on passing trade routes however he was stopped when the crew of the Nightshade retook the ship.

## Environmental

Harlot is virtually a desert, with on a small body of water in the northern hemisphere of the planet, as a result, daytime temperatures can exceed 38c, with the night dropping to lows of almost -15c. There are many rocky canyons on the surface which provide some protection from the Harlot sun and therefore has the most concentration of indigenous life.

## Government and Society

Harlot has an anarchistic governmental structure. Each settlement is controlled by a different Baron, who can exploit his people in any way that they see fit. Settlements will often attack each other for supplies and even capturing people to work as slaves or be sold to various extraterrestrial powers that visit this planet.
Chief Cyclone

## Biography

Chief Hotah Wichakawoka, also known as Chief Cyclone is the spiritual leader one of the tribes of Min. Razor used to belong to the same tribe but has sent gone his own way, apparently always having having the reputation of being a wild child among them. Chief Cyclone also looks over the tribe's main source of income, a productive dilithium operation called Big Sandy Mine.

The Chief met the Redwake as suggested by Razor to be a guide in their search for the Novus "Vault", as someone who's well versed in Aversus Galaxy history, The Chief is renowned for his sense of lore. In exchange for this, he's recruited the Redwake to recover his mine from band of pirates who have taken over and enslaved the workers when they were unable to maintain the automations of the mine.

In the addition to experience as a leader and a guide, observers quickly see how Cyclone has earned his rank and respect as a tribal chief by his bravery in combat. Preferring a sawed-off shot gun as his main weapon, he combines his firepower with his mobility using his own Sparro. His piloting skills also translate well to fighters and the helms of spacecraft. He is especially adapt at blitzkrieg tactics, using tactics long held by his tribe to slip behind enemy lines to get close and personal with his targets, then get out without taking damage.

Aventaria

## General Overview

**Aventaria**, translated as ***"Saviours of Avalon"*** is a political group within the Aventis Empire.

Formed from several growing **Republican Movements** with the **Aventis Empire**, **Aventaria** is a coalition between multiple smaller groups, with the collective aim of creating a **stable republic** within the **Aventis Empire**, deposing the long established **Imperial Monarchy** and providing better representation and equality for planets such as **Beorming (Beorming II)** and **Oxcrown (Zeta Caroli IV)** who have both suffered from endemic poverty.

Classed as a **Non-Official Group** by the **Aventis High Council**, Aventaria has continued to meet scorn and aggression from the **Noble Houses** of the **Aventis Imperial Court** as they have actively demonstrated and protested for substantial change to the Aventis political system which has led them to be seen as ***"Traitors"*** by traditional loyalists of the Empire. To this end, members of Aventaria have been arrested on circumstantial charges and imprisoned for threatening the security of the Imperial family.

Despite this, during **August** to **September 2453**, their message has continued to grow to the point where large demonstrations have been held in **Enteris (Shattershield)** advocating for **King Pendragon I** to abdicate and establish a republic. There message has not been punished by **Aventis Imperial Security** due to the abolishment of **Anti-Treason Legislation** which prevented open criticism of the monarchy prior to King Pendragon's ascension to the thrown.

Since the liberation of the **Nitavis Tribal Council** earlier in 2453, Aventaria has only grown more bold, with **Aventis Intelligence Chief**, **Ser Pelles Brachawld** believing that they are being supported by the **Bassari Comintern** in an attempt to overthrow the monarchy and destabilise the capital of the **United Systems Commonwealth**. Surveillance operations conducted by **Aventis Intelligence** has noted several key figures within Aventaria having contact with the Comintern in deep space, suggesting a link, although no cargo has been transferred to prove this suspicion.
Avalid Starship

## General Overview

The primary mode of transportation for the Avalid Empire, the *Avalid Starship*, so named in the ways that they are developed, where no two Avalid vessels look the same, the Avalid Starship is parasitic in nature, converting both the ship and crew into a unique expression of the will of Aza'lon.

The most common form of this starship was seen in 2452, with Avalid Vessels spawned from the conversion of the Vectis Privilege Class, which resulted in the powerful defensive technology which the Avalid used to great effect during the *Ionian Incursion* of 2452.

Organic in nature, the Avalid typically choose a *"host"* vessel which they seed with a small piece of genetic material, which grows almost resembling a cancer over the entire ships structure and interior. This process results in no two Avalid vessels looking exactly the same and only vaguely resembling the class of ship that they once were.

Once the *"Awakening"* on Vectis (Tau Equus III) took place, the Avalid converted almost the entire Argussian population of the planet, gaining access to the powerful *Programmable Matter Technology* obtained by the Vectians, by the Qox'cotel Protectorate. As a result, Avalid vessel's hulls can be pre-programmed with knowledge of different weapon types, rending them complete impervious to attacks from that weapon.

In addition, Avalid vessels will adapt the technology of ships that they convert, allowing each ship to possess unique weapons based on what their host originally was. However despite this, all Avalid vessels possess an *Adaptive Screamer*, a powerful psionic converter which can focus and channel the innate psionic abilities of the Avalid, projecting it in an energy wave, scrambling the computer's of enemy vessels and rending their crews either unconscious or inducing temporary insanity. This process has been known to work on partially artificial lifeforms like the Synth Free Nations.
Galactic Commonwealth Senate

## General

Established by elected Commonwealth President Drake Flamestone in April 2453, the Galactic Commonwealth Senate replaced the older *Commonwealth Council* as the Commonwealth saw an increase in its membership worlds within the Black Eye Galaxy.

The legislature assembly of the Galactic Commonwealth formed from signatory member-worlds filled by senators from across the galaxy, and was presided by a Commonwealth President, the highest office-holder of the democratic union that was elected by and from the representatives. Its primary concern was mediating disputes between varying worlds and dictating the laws and regulations necessary to maintain the Commonwealth.

Battle of the Normandy

The Battle of the Normandy was a battle fought over the planet of LV-032. The battle proved to be a decisive turning point in **The Worthless War**.

## History

The **U.S.S. Normandy (NCC-61944-A)**, equipped with a **Stolen Umojan Intergalactic Frameshift Drive**, acquired by the **U.S.S. Callisto** attempts to make a desperate jump to the **Cigar Galaxy (M82)**, the home galaxy of the **Umojan Empire** to convince the **Empress** of the Umojan Empire to end this conflict which is claiming the lives of trillions across the **Black Eye Galaxy (M64)**.

Upon learning that the war was engineered by disgraced Baron **Yaj'reth Morphos**, as a war of reclaiming favour with the Umojan Empress, the **United Commonwealth of Planets**, brought to its knees by the devastating conflict, protects the Normandy while it charges it's frameshift drive from Umojan forces determined to destroy it. This battle proves to be the decisive conflict of **The Worthless War**, resulting in the end of hostilities in **December 2420** after the Normandy makes a long trek to the **Throne of Umojas (Umojan Prime)**, causing an uprising on that world and ending the war.

However the resulting damage to the **United Commonwealth of Planets** resulted in its total collapse soon after as members began to leave it to look after their own economic interests.

The need for better ships with the use of New Arkhosia Shipyard, later renamed Io Shipyard, before and during the collapse of the United Commonwealth of Planets. As a result, the minds in Norsen Engineering has initiated a series of new starship designs under the name Project Valhalla. The goal of the project is the creation of several starships with different mission profiles.

Regarded as one of the oldest ships in the fleet, the Tiamat has been refitted with their best known technology to date. Equipped with an Antiproton Lance, the Tiamat has the firepower that is known to be able to destroy cities. The lance is only armed and fired by the authorization of three commanding officers. The Tiamat was once the flagship of the True Blood terrorist organization and in 1832 was said that it caused the Dian Massacre.

Refitted in early August of 2421, it is currently serving as the Arkhosian's main flagship under the command of Fleet Chief Baron Flamestone. Also equipped with both the Cloudwing and the Shieldbreaker class fighters and intceptors, the A.T.S. Tiamat is ranked amongst the highest command dreadnoughts of the era.
Argentavia (Beta Tau III)

## History

*Argentavia*, also known as *Beta Tau III* is the third planet of the *Beta Tau Star System* first discovered by the U.S.S. Nemesis in 2420. Located in the unexplored regions of the Tau Quadrant, Argentavia is responsible for providing the United Commonwealth of Planets with the mapping data to form The Raleigh Project of early 2421.

The U.S.S. Normandy (NCC-61944-A) returned to Argentavia in November 2421 to respond to a message to *Vice President* Ahnoh Echegaray from a old friend that he made when his species first arrived in the Black Eye Galaxy. The Normandy was used by a politician on the surface to manipulate the media into accepting her as president of the planet, a reveal that came as a great shock to the Normandy itself.

## Environmental

Argentavia is a rather mountainous world which resembles the *Canadian Rockies* of *Earth* across the entire planet, ranging significantly in temperature but allowing some of the largest lakes of any known planet to the knowledge of the United Commonwealth of Planets.

## Government and Society

 Argentavia society is an avian society that appears to be much larger and bulkier then the Aurellian Republic due to the higher gravity of their world, developing much denser bone structures and therefore are incapable of flight, considering their wings to be vestigial in development.

In November 2421, it was discovered that Argentavia, although appearing outwardly to be forward-thinking and social, is a deeply corrupt society, refusing to care for victims of *Ignatia Syndrome* due to an illegal telepathic taboo on their world, due to the Argentavia's natural telepathic abilities.
Commonwealth Prime Directive

As an offshoot of the *United Federation of Planets*, the United Commonwealth of Planets uses its own form of the *Prime Directive* as agreed by the Commonwealth Council.

The Prime Directive, also known as Starfleet General Order 1, the Non-Interference Directive, or the principle of non-interference, was the embodiment of one of Starfleet's most important ethical principles: non-interference with other cultures and civilizations. At its core was the philosophical concept that covered personnel should refrain from interfering in the natural, unassisted, development of societies, even if such interference was well-intentioned. The Prime Directive was viewed as so fundamental to Starfleet that officers swore to uphold the Prime Directive, even at the cost of their own life or the lives of their crew.

A complicated order, the Prime Directive had 47 sub-orders by the latter part of the 24th century. (VOY: "Infinite Regress") However, a high-level summary was "no identification of self or mission; no interference with the social development of said planet; no references to space, other worlds, or advanced civilizations." (TOS: "Bread and Circuses") The directive provided guidance on what constituted prohibited "interference" with a society, covering such matters as:

## Restrictions

Providing knowledge of other inhabited worlds (even if individuals or governments in the society were already aware of such) to peoples who had not started using warp technology (TOS: "Bread and Circuses"; TNG: "First Contact")

* Providing knowledge of technologies or science (TOS: "A Private Little War"; VOY: "Caretaker")
* Taking actions to generally affect a society's overall development (TOS: "Patterns of Force"; TNG: "Who Watches The Watchers")
* Taking actions which supported one faction within a society over another (TOS: "Patterns of Force", "The Omega Glory"; TNG: "Too Short a Season")
* Helping a society escape the negative consequences of its own actions (VOY: "Time and Again", "Thirty Days")
* Helping a society escape a natural disaster known to the society, even if inaction would result in a society's extinction, unless the society had warp technology and had formally requested aid (TNG: "Pen Pals", "Homeward", "The Masterpiece Society"; Star Trek Into Darkness)
* Subverting or avoiding the application of a society's laws (TOS: "Wolf in the Fold"; TNG: "Justice")
* Interfering in the internal affairs of a society (TOS: "Patterns of Force"; TNG: "Symbiosis", "Reunion", "Redemption", "Redemption II", "The Price"; DS9: "The Circle", "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges"; VOY: "Thirty Days")
Cardassian Hutet Class

## General Overview

The *Hutet-Class* was originally developed in light of the Klingon blockade upon their war against Cardassia in order to restore Cardassian offensive capabilities and pride. Specifically, it was created to allow Cardassia to maintain an expansionist foreign policy without having to rely on Terok Nor-type space stations or the already overstreched *Galor-Class* and *Keldon-Class* ships. Construction was greenlighted after the blockade was lifted and the Cardassian alliance with the Dominion was secured which allowed the Union to make use of advanced structural integrity fields to enhance the hull of the ship.

A *Hutet-class* vessel was a massive starship, 1600 meters long, capeable of carrying a total of 475 crew. It made use of Dominion technology to create a short term self repair system that would function during battle to fix critical systems. Its most feared weapons were its infamous "Big Wave" disruptor guns, two of which were equipped on the front of the vessel and one to the rear, which were capable of causing continental damage. In addition to these, it possessed an additional eight long spiral wave disruptors as well as numerous torpedo launchers.

The *Hutet-Class* was used by The Obsidian Empire in 2420.

Battle of Nox-Veredia

## History

On the 31st March 2420, the U.S.S. Generation responded to a discuss call from the home planet of the Nox-Veredian Empire which was under attack by the Rothian Corporation during the brief *Roth/Strategos War* of 2420.

During the battle, the Generation was able to deploy troops on the surface of the planet who were successful in fighting off the Roth forces from Nox-Veredia's already devestated cities.

Facing Rothian reinforcements, Nox-Veredians and Devlyn Kardrack were able to activate an ancient device on the surface of the planet which served as an experimental possible *escape route* for the planet during the *Nox-Veredian/Strategos War*, 5000 years prior.

Activating this device, pulled the entire planet of Nox-Veredia (Nox-Veredia I) into subspace, to protect it from all further attacks and cutting off access to the planet from normal space.
Bassari Yedin Class

## History

Due to their brief partnership with the **Black Eye Dominion**, the **Bassari Yedin Clas***s* is an impressive technological advancement over the more primitive **Bassari Solidarity Class** Battleship.

Not seen until 2452, the Yedin-Class boasts impressive firepower and **Energy Shielding Technology** stolen from the **U.S.S. Claidheamh Mòr** schematics during the Dominion's visit to **Bassar** in 2421 by spies of the **Bassari Socialist Republics**.

Never trusting of the Dominion or its intentions during the **Daybreaker Incident** that saw their world heavily damaged, the Bassari spent the next 30 years attempting to build vessels that could rival the *Starfleet*-derived ships of the **United Commonwealth of Planets**.

Using the collapse of the Commonwealth to their advantage, the Bassari began to collect the left over **Lithium-5** isotopes left on their planet from the **Daybreaker** explosion, developing them in a powerful **Railgun**, combining both traditional railgun technology with new **Mass Driver** designs. The result of which was an extremely powerful main gun that was capable of neutralising **Interstellar Hydrogen** as well as doing significant kinetic damage to an enemy vessel.

To this end, the **Yedin-Class** was designed from a **"weapon-first"** perspective, with the ship built around a massive 900 meter long railgun barrel meant to encompass the weapon, with **Helical Railgun** emplacements, a new combination of *Railgun* and *Mass Driver* technologies to protect it.

## Special

#### Perestroika Defence Field

Dubbed **Perestroika** by the **United Commonwealth of Planets**, a Earth word of Russian dialect meaning **Restructuring**, the Perestroika Defence Field is a cumulative defensive field which can be activated when more then one Bassari vessel are operating together, allowing their vessels to share hull polarisation energy, drastically increasing the power of their armour.
Cardassian Keldon Class

## General Overview

The *Keldon-Class* are an enlarged and heavily modified version of the traditional Cardassian *Galor-Class*.

First developed in 2371, the *Keldon-Class* employs a more powerful *sub-light* engine configuration then most *Cardassian Union* vessels of that era and served a major role in the *Dominion War* of 2373 - 2375.

The *Keldon-Class* is equipped with an *Obsidian Order* cloaking device, obtained during the brief alliance between the Order and the Romulan Tal Shiar in 2371, and augmented from *Romulan* technology. This version of the cloaking device has been significantly developed for Cardassian vessels and has been proven to be extremely useful in Cardassian covert operations.

The *Keldon-Class* is also equipped with *Monotanium Armour Plating*, this extremely strong alloy was produced as part of a *Dominion* black project during the latter days of the *Dominion War*, however the project was never completed as the *Dominion and Cardassian Alliance* did not expect the *United Federation of Planets*, *Klingon Empire* and *Romulan Star Empire* to attempt to invade *Cardassia Prime*, beliving the *Federation* would be content to leave the *Dominion/Cardassian Alliance* bottled up in *Cardassian* territory. Research and production had started on *Monotanium* at *Dominion Research Bases* inside *Cardassian* space but where never completed due to the end of the war.

As a result, after the end of the war, the *Cardassian* military quickly siezed all former Dominion technology within their space and continued to develop these enhanced systems, successfully creating the armor and improved weapons of the modern day *Keldon-Class*.
Cipher Division

::CLASSIFIED: Security Level 10::

::The Cipher Initiative::

Commonwealth Sky Marshal

Since the end of the Void War, the Black Eye Galaxy has been in a constant state of warfare and disarray as the power vacuum left by the destruction of the Void has claimed many victims.

To prevent future damage to the Commonwealth on the scale of the Roth/Strategos War. I have ordered Commonwealth Intelligence to begin a secret project.

The Phantom Project is an initiative in which a select group of elite operatives who will be entrusted with extraordinary authority by Commonwealth Command and the Commonwealth Council.

This elite group's primary responsibility will be to preserve galactic stability by whatever means necessary and will not be bound to the JAG or the Prime Directive.

Ciphers will have complete and total discretion as to the methods used to accomplish their mission and will operate independently from Commonwealth vessels.

Therefore, the U.S.S. Nightshade will NOT be considered a Commonwealth vessel and will put into drydock in order to have its markings and hull livery removed, while continuing to serve the Commonwealth in a new, covert and greatly expanded capacity.

Records pertaining to the Nightshade will officially list the vessel as "rogue" and other Commonwealth ships are authorized to attack the vessel if in the presence of vessels from another galactic power in order to maintain this pretense.

The Nightshade will also have both its registry number and "U.S.S." designation removed from its transponder and missions conducted by the vessel are considered to be NOT Commonwealth sanctioned.

This also means that the Nightshade will NOT have the protection of the Commonwealth diplomatic corp and if captured, the Commonwealth will disavow all knowledge of the vessel and will not attempt to rescue prisoners or protect them with current treaty agreements.
Battle of Terra Secunda

## History

The *Battle of Terra Secunda* was fought between the *Black Eye Coalition*, formed in the *Treaty of Reunion* between the Galactic Commonwealth, Black Eye Dominion, Black Eye Consortium and the Oblivion Verdict and terrorists forces led by former Commonwealth Chief of Intelligence Michael Stone and brother of Hild MacLowan, Osgar MacLowan.

With Stone's forces annexing *Terra Secunda*, the main operational base of the Black Eye Dominion during a successful coup attempt, Stone was able to subvert *Terra Secunda's* sophisticated planetary defence grid with the help of rogue elements of the New Romulan Star Empire and The Obsidian Empire, both of which had been granted entry to the Dominion in 2421.

Stone was also able to use his position within the Commonwealth to undermine *President Aaru Dedef’ti* and obtain recovered classified Strategos Collective technology obtained during the U.S.S. Callisto's last visit to Insidea (Insidea IV). The plans allowed Stone to construct his own *Strategos Production Mainframe* using one of the drydocks in orbit of *Terra Secunda* to create a series of drone ships, based on past Commonwealth vessels.

These drone ships, successfully replicated from the hulls of the original Commonwealth vessels could be controlled from the station. Stone ordered 40 Chimera rounded up on the planet from the planet's disabled population and had their consciousness digitised in the same way the Strategos existed, destroying their original bodies but allowing their consciousness to exist in a virtual construct to control the vessels.

However the *Black Eye Coalition* was able to destroy the drone control station before taking any serious damage, allowing the U.S.S. Claidheamh Mòr and Normandy CBS-61944 to begin landing ground troops to secure the planet. During this, Michael Stone went into hiding and General Sylveris Lunamonde promised to assist the Commonwealth during the feared Abyss War.

Caester (Tenavara III)

## History

Caester is the third planet in the *Tenavara Star System*, within the Aventis Sector of the Zeta Quadrant. Originally colonised in 2120, Caester was considered a relatively minor Aventis colony and given to *House Tunara*, a vassal of the much more powerful *House Fullex*. However interest in the planet would shift, originally just another agricultural colony in 2205, where the Aventis discovered evidence of a Cronus facility deep beneath the planet.

As Aventis scientists rushed to confirm that Caester was indeed an outpost of the mythical Cronus civilisation, the Aventis also discovered that the planet was artificial in nature, possibly one of the Cronus's original experiments, as the expansive Cronus facility beneath the planet led all the way to the planetary core, which instead of being the usual nickel/iron core found at the centre of most planets, the Cronus had installed a huge machine which duplicated the role of creating a magnetic field.

*House Telkana*, upon learning of this discovery schemed to deny their rivals, *House Fullex* access to Cronus technology and infiltrated the planet, interrupting the delicate balance of the unknown machine that caused a huge tear in the planetary surface, something that can still be seen today.

Unaware of the treachery of *House Telkana*, the Aventis named the incident *"The Sundering"*, and resettled the planet to further understand the damaged ancient machine, which appeared to be some variation of a *"Mass Shadow Generator"*, amplifying a magnetic field to force debris left over from other planetary formations within the system together, to create a new planet which had *Class-M* characteristics.

Since *"The Sundering"*, Caester has been renowned for its diverse marketplaces, drawing in many megacorporations in the Black Eye Galaxy, including the Black Eye Consortium and the Megalodon Syndicate. As a result of this wealth, *House Tunara* was able to convince *Emperor Tavus V* in 2332 to grant Caester its own independent rule and recognise the head of *House Tunara* as a client kingdom of the Aventis Empire, allowing Caester to have their own royal family, incurring a yearly cash tribute to the Aventis Emperor.

However, influenced by the many different governmental structures in the Black Eye Galaxy, in 2378, Caester's monarchy decided to adopt an elective system to become truly representative of it's community, allowing for species such as the Rokal and Megalodons to run for rulership of the planet.
Battle of the Robun Nebula

The Battle of the Robun Nebula was the last major battle of the Roth/Strategos War of 2420.

## History

Amassing at Wynter Life Medical Station, the forces of the Commonwealth, aided by their various allies prepare to launch an assault on Canaan, a massive Roth station in orbit over Roth Prime.

With the U.S.S. Generation sent to the Milky Way in the hope of gathering Federation support, the Commonwealth forces learn that the Roth are preparing to use their own forces to destroy Wynter Life Station and use the wormhole to overwhelm the Commonwealth once and for all.

Unable to wait for the Generation to return, Admiral Orion Windwalker has no choice but to launch the attack, with both forces meeting outside the "Robun Nebula", a small nebula near the borders of Roth Space.

Hoping to ambush the emerging Roth forces before they get to Wynter Life station, the Commonwealth forces conceal themselves inside the nebula.

But with the Roth and Strategos forces completely outnumbering the Commonwealth ships... the crews of each ship must accept certain death in a last stand.

Despite being outnumbered, the Commonwealth was able to destroy the Rothian Command Ships and claim victory.

## Command Staff

* Commanding Officer: Admiral Shon Tempest

## History

Discorved by Admiral Shon Tempest and the crew of the U.S.S. Republic following the fall of the United Commonwealth of Planets in December 2421. *Eternity Station*, translated from Iconian, is a massive Iconian megastructure capable of hiding itself by phasing into subspace like *Iconian Space Gateways* are capable of doing.

The structure was discovered in the *LV-002* system near the Eternal Prison and was half-submerged in subspace but was revealed when unconventional archeologist *Tel'vok Jurone* from the Symphony of Lor'ia'tu activated the automated docking procedure of the station which pulled the Republic inside.

Onboard, the crew discovered that the station was an Iconian outpost which had existed pre-Iconian exodus from Iconia almost 200,000 years ago and had long since been abandoned.

Designed to *"seed"* the Black Eye Galaxy with Iconian Gateways, Eternity Station was capable of both manufacturing and deploying Iconian gateways as well as generating *"self-contained"* biomes in the station for the study of natural flora and fauna present within the Black Eye Galaxy.

It was revealed through the Station's onboard computer that recognised the presence of the Chioni Collective onboard the Republic, a long forgotten "*Iconian Servitor Race*", that the Iconians and Chioni built this facility in order to serve as a retreat should Iconia in the Milky Way Galaxy ever fall.

This station was abandoned due to the expansion of Void Space within the Black Eye Galaxy, forcing the Iconians to retreat to the *Andromeda Galaxy* instead, while the Iconians the remained on Eternity put themselves into stasis while infected with a mysterious disease of unknown origin.

In order to protect their species, *T'Renn*, the leader of the Iconians assigned to Eternity, deliberately cut off Eternity from the gateway network and put the members of his crew into stasis upon discovering that his crew were *"bleeding energy"* and would die if they continued to expand into this galaxy.

Custodianship of the station was transferred to Admiral Shon Tempest in 2421 when T'Renn was released from stasis, only to die immediately after his release due to the mysterious disease, passing the *Iconian Activation Gene*, normally reserved to Heralds, to Shon, forcing the station to obey his commands.

Seeing an oppotunity to use this new acquisition for some good in the Black Eye Galaxy following the fall of the Commonwealth, Admiral Tempest and his crew converted some of Eternity into a neutral hub of trade and diplomacy, serving as neutral ground to any ship coming into their space, earning the support of Symphony of Lor'ia'tu, who also wished to study the station's ancient secrets.

Avalon Tao

## Biography

Lord Admiral of the Vectis Planetary Navy and former Starfleet Officer, Avalon Tao was created in August 2421 when the U.S.S. Wolfsbane rescued a Federation Galaxy Class Starship who were under attack by the Umojan Empire in the Black Eye Galaxy (M64).

The Federation vessel, the *U.S.S. Yellowknife* was deployed to meet with Baron Tel'saris Arion in order to uncover an Umojan plot to destroy both the *United Federation of Planets* and *United Commonwealth of Planets*.

Although unable to save the *Yellowknife* and her crew despite a valiant effort, the Wolfsbane did successfully rescue a diplomatic party, who were beamed off the ship by the *Yellowknife* crew.

The diplomatic party, including *Tolan Tao*, a *Joined Trill* and former officer on the U.S.S. Warrior, *Kylan Tao*, were all badly wounded.

Although S.S. Trident attempted to save *Tolan*'s life, there was nothing that could be done for him, forcing the crew to find a replacement for the host as the symbiote was injured and would only survive for hours outside of a host.

With no other replacement options, Doctor *Iani Seketh* discovered that *Argussian* genetic engineering at the hands of the Raysillian Empire would allow for the symbiote to be transported to an Argussian host.

In October 2421, Avalon, suffering complications from the *Tao Symbiote* and continually horrified at watching the Commonwealth that he had created and loved falling to pieces chose to seek out a deal with *Mr Crimson*, an enigmatic member of the Ghast Dominion.

Asim Khons

## Biography

Asim Khons was born on Dade in the *Adversus Galaxy.* He joined the *Siqahi Royal Navy* when he was 18 and proved himself to be an exceptional tactician, able to instantly size up a situation and note any possible contingencies. He severed in the United Commonwealth of Planets when the Kingdom of the Siqahi joined it in 2420 and continued to serve during the The Umojan War of Pacification, serving aboard the U.S.S. Normandy (NCC-61944-A) during the conflict before transferring back to the Commonwealth Command at the end of the conflict.

During the Umojan War, Asim married his wife, Silka and had 2 Children, Breven and Tarim who lived on Phoenix I (Formally Commonwealth I), until the planet was glassed by the Umojan at the end of 2421. His entire family were killed during the incident.

Asim was called back in from early retirement to command the *Battlestar Thermopylae,* the Battlestar which represented the Kingdom of Siqahi.
Battle of the Strategos Mainframe

The Battle of the Strategos Mainframe was a battle fought over the Strategos Mainframe. The battle took place after the attack on S.S. Nocturne II station by the Strategos Collective.

## History

With a massive fleet of Strategos Forces approaching on the *Commonwealth Capital World*. Admiral Orion Windwalker makes a desperate gambit.

While the majority of the Commonwealth allied ships attempt to hold off the Strategos at Commonwealth, Windwalker orders the remainder of fleet to attempt a dangerous push into the heart of the Strategos Empire, with the goal of destroying the Strategos Mainframe Server which is located on what was a lush green homeworld but has since become a twisted metallic nightmare.

As the *Trident*, *Hiryu*, *Nightshade*, *Arizona*, *Callisto* and *Nemesis* launch a surprise attack on the Strategos Mainframe, with the hope of ending their threat once and for all, Captain Shon Tempest questions the morality of destroying the server and therefore wiping out all the digital minds within the system.

As the battle proves to be long and costly, the Black Eye Commonwealth will find that it is not only their combat skills that are to be tested but their principles too...
