Red, White, And Blue (SH144)

## Red, White, and Blue

As the Hydrans slowly retook their original territory, the Klingons attempted any number of means of slowing down the Hydran advance and preventing their consolidation of recaptured areas. One means of doing so was to establish a network of small bases in an asteroid field at which raiding forces could refuel and rearm. As the Hydrans unknowingly passed these "base areas”, Klingon raiders would harass the Hydran support elements.

Eliminating these "base areas" was extremely difficult and tedious work, as each section of asteroids had to be carefully checked for hidden bases. As the fleet was concentrated at, the front and as the base areas had only fighters and PFs (for the most part anyway), the duty of checking out suspicious asteroid fields fell to PF flotillas based on auxiliary PFTs.

The PF divisions assigned to "check out and clean out" an asteroid field included existing flotillas pulled back from the front (possibly to break in new replacements or switch to another type of PF), new flotillas being sent to the front, and sometimes even ad hoc groups of replacement PFs that were not formally organized as flotillas. Specially trained Marines in their own PFs would be attached to these divisions for this purpose. Divisions assigned to this duty were given a standard doctrine for the asteroid field sweep mission, which divided them into three flotillas. The "white" flotilla (Harriers) would search asteroid fields for Klingon fighters and PFs. The "red" flotilla (Hellions or Howlers, but sometimes Harriers) would be ready to concentrate on and destroy any forces located. The "blue" flotilla (ground assault PFs) would send PFs in to land on particularly suspicious asteroids and deploy Marines to check them out for hidden bases.

## Aftermath

This scenario represents several similar historical battles. Sometimes the Klingons won, and sometimes the Hydrans triumphed. In every case, both sides suffered savage losses.

Eaglebreaker (SH158)

## Eaglebreaker

While the Romulans were beyond any strategic offensive by Y183, they did launch several serious local counterattacks. The Gorns themselves were short of ships due to the dispatch of units to assist in the Alliance offensive "Operation Cavalry" and the increasing threat of the ISC on their eastern border. In one such operation, a key Gorn base was threatened. The Gorn Command ordered two newly deployed X-ships to attack the Romulan flank and threaten their supply lines in the hopes that this would disrupt the Romulan drive.

## Aftermath

The Gorn X-ships burst through the Romulan squadron, inflicting heavy damage on all the ships and destroying the PFs. The Gorn ships received damage in return and headed back to their own space for repairs. The Gorn ship commanders thought their mission had failed, but the strategic effect of the damage to the Romulan squadron halted the Romulan effort in the sector.

USS Challenger (NCC-1809)

The *USS Challenger* entered service in Y166.

## History

The ship was named in honor of an early Terran space orbiter vehicle which exploded shortly after launch, causing the loss of all hands on board. Star Fleet’s *Challenger* did not see combat in the General War, but was used for reconnaissance and intelligence-gathering missions. The exact nature of these missions remain classified. This ship spent several months in the Lesser Magellanic Cloud following Operation Unity and was retired in Y205 to the Star Fleet Museum.

Star Trek: Starfleet Command II: Empires at War

***Star Trek Starfleet Command II: Empires at War*** (known in North America as ***Starfleet Command Volume II: Empires at War***) is the sequel to *Star Trek: Starfleet Command* and the second in the series of real-time space combat games, developed by Taldren, Inc. and published by Interplay.

## Plot

The game features three singleplayer campaigns, two storyline campaigns, and a general conquest campaign. The first of the storyline campaigns dealt with the return of the Organians and their bringing the Interstellar Concordium in to 'pacify' the existing empires. The existing factions resist this pacification attempt, and a new war ensues. The other story campaign, only playable by the Mirak, Lyrans, Hydrans, and Klingons, deals with the discovery of artifacts belonging to an ancient race of telepaths.
Repair Forward (SH105)

## Repair Forward

At the height of a major offensive in the spring of Y176, the Gorn battlecruiser *Sauricon* suffered heavy combat damage and a complete warp engine failure. It was towed by a consort to the asteroid field in the Tuscana System.

Other damaged ships also made their way to this point, and the Gorn Logistics Command took the bold gamble of sending one of its invaluable Repair Ships forward to get the *Sauricon* (and the other ships) back into action before the offensive faltered. Logistics Command wanted to use a tug with a repair pod for the mission, but the only tug in the sector had already been fitted with a battle pod and sent to attack a Romulan base.

Unfortunately, the concentration of ships was detected by the Romulan ship *Sanquinarius,* which lived up to its name.

## Aftermath

The King Eagle destroyed the DD *Sting* (which had been posted as a lookout) with its plasma-R torpedo. The Romulan ship then cloaked and began maneuvering for a shot at the repair ship, and managed to hit it with one plasma-F before being forced to cloak again. As the Gorn ships withdrew, the Romulan ship fired a full salvo of plasma torpedoes which heavily damaged the *Sauricon,* although it still managed to escape. The Gorn offensive was stalemated.

The Count’s Coup (SH106)

## The Count's Coup

As the Lyran offensive into Hydran space got rolling, the Hydrans were hard pressed to keep their bases and logistics network intact. The planet of Hycoman became an impromptu base area supporting an entire sector. The Lyrans, locating it through intelligence reports, quickly launched a strike.

## Aftermath

Kleaves' raid struck shortly after the Hydrans had launched their own attack from their new base. This forced the Hydran commander to divide his forces to send some ships back to aid in the defense of his base area. The results for the Hydrans were less than satisfactory. Without adequate ships, the main Hydran attack faltered in its attempt to turn back another Lyran attack force, and the ships sent back to planet did not arrive soon enough to prevent Kleaves from inflicting major damage on the planet's support facilities and then withdrawing. This force instead found itself effectively pinned at the planet to prevent another raid, and so was unable to even pursue Kleaves.

Practice, Practice, And Then What? (SH60)

## Practice, Practice, and Then What?

In Y171, the Federation and Gorns were conducting a series of wargames in a special training zone. The exercises were necessary to give Federation captains experience in dealing with the Romulan SparrowHawk and its three plasma torpedoes. These games used computer-generated battle damage simulations. As each ship scored “damage” (using weapons set on 1/1000th power) on the other, the computer analyzed the attack and “turned off” certain systems to simulate the damage.

The system worked well enough for training, but on one memorable occasion a Romulan SparrowHawk arrived in the training area to find two “badly damaged” ships that were not expecting to conduct actual combat.

## Aftermath

The *Havoc* concentrated its initial pass on the *Repulse* with her faster arming photons, leaving her a gutted wreck. The *Szura* tried to run, but before she could open the range, the *Havoc* was on her and the ship was destroyed. The Repulse used the respite gained by the
destruction of the *Szura* to patch together enough repairs to blow the warp nacelles and escape by sublight. She would be repaired to fight again. The training range was closed and never used again after this disaster.

Ponderosa IV

Ponderosa IV was one of the four “Western Worlds” colonized by Malcolm Levitson.

Ponderosa IV was colonized by the Silent Green Corporation from Alpha Centauri. The other planets included a hot Class-I planet, a Class-C hothouse, a Class-D airless rock, a major asteroid belt, a Class-A hot gas giant, three Class-B cold gas giants, and several Kuiper Belt objects. Ponderosa IV is renowned for its lush prairies, mild year-round climate, and vast herds of native herbivores. The planet exports millions of tons of meat and grain production, most of it to Deiana.

Location: Sector 2106.

The Orion In Question (SH198)

## The Orion in Question

Convoys were used by all empires to move critically needed material to the combat zones. Unfortunately, late in the General War, most empires seldom had enough ships available to provide substantial escorts to every convoy, no matter how critical the supplies it carried. Newly constructed ships were needed at the front so badly that they would usually move at maximum possible warp, far too fast for the plodding merchantmen. If the pace of front-line operations was fairly slow, sometimes an FCR might accompany a convoy until it was summoned forward to resupply a carrier. Convoy commanders were always grateful for the little extra firepower.

The Orions, of course, were eager to capitalize on these vulnerable convoys, and their HDWs added a new level of uncertainty to the lives of convoy commanders, who could never be sure just what the Orion ship was until it chose to reveal its capabilities. And then it was often too late.

## Aftermath

This scenario represents several similar incidents with different outcomes.

Pit-Stop (T6S4)

Map of the route taken

## Pit-StopPart of The Red WYN Express (T6)

Red Fur could ill-afford to run into another Klingon patrol, and the Klingons now knew about his convoy and its cargo. (Federation electronic equipment would be most welcome in Klingon shipyards!) Cursing the inevitable delays, he turned his convoy toward the Kzinti border. His plan was to refuel and repair his forces at a Daven cartel pirate base in Kzinti territory, then enter the WYN Star Cluster from that direction.

The Tortoise & The Hares (SH148)

## The Tortoise and the Hares

During a large-scale attack on the Federation by the Klingons, a main fleet engagement resulted in a damaged Federation battle tug being forced to drop its pod during the course of the battle. Although the pod failed to escape of its own accord, it remained unchallenged as the warp-powered ships left the sublight pod far behind in the wake of the battle. Unattended, save for a handful of exhausted fighters that had likewise been left behind, the battle pod began its slow journey towards the nearest Federation outpost.

The Klingons had not forgotten the pod, however, and when the worst of the battle ended, they sent what remained of one of their PF flotillas to hunt it down and destroy it. Such a potentially powerful unit could not be allowed to escape unchallenged. It was not long before the PFs located their quarry and the race began.

Paravian Raiders

The Paravians were a bipedal birdlike species, whose homeworld was in a system located between the Gorn homeworlds and the Galactic Core. They lost a savage war with the Gorns, and the species is extinct in the Alpha Sector.

The Gorns and Paravians first met in Y24, at the very start of the space exploration period for both species and it was the first contact for each species. Early discussions exposed that both shared a great mystery: they were not native to their homeworlds. The fossil record indicated that both had been transplanted to their planets by forces or beings unknown about 13,400 years earlier. Further explorations provided an even greater surprise: the Paravians were descended from a species virtually identical to the Gorns which had become extinct after an asteroid impact on their homeworld 12,600 years earlier. The Paravian reaction to the paleontological evidence was a fanatical hatred for the Gorns, as the fossil Gorns of their own world had for centuries held the position of demons and devils.

The Paravians launched a campaign of hatred such as the known galaxy had never seen before and has only rarely seen since. The war lasted for 10 years until the Gorns succeeded in blockading the Paravian homeworld in Y85 and then hunting down all of the surviving raiders. Rather than wipe out the Paravians (who refused to negotiate), the Gorns eliminated all Paravian facilities related to space travel. A squadron of warships then kept the Paravians neatly trapped on their homeworld.

This plan worked for a dozen years, but in Y94 a sun snake dove into the Paravian star, causing it to go nova. The Gorn garrison ships were unable to even attempt a rescue, and the Paravians would not have accepted their help. There were occasional reports of Paravians after the nova incident. Perhaps these were the descendants of raiders who had escaped the Gorns. None of these reports were ever confirmed.
While Paravians have wings, their ability to fly was limited. Most could glide from a height or running start; some athletic individuals could actually fly for several dozen meters. Some non-athletic individuals could not fly at all. Due to their light, hollow bones, Paravians are more susceptible to any bludgeoning attacks or crushing damage.

Three Against Cortez (SH46)

## Three Against CortezPart of Andromedan Invasion

Andromedan ships were a strategic nuisance in the middle years of the General War, rampaging through the rear areas of the Galactic Powers (who were busy enough fighting each other). One such raider was the Conquistador-class ship codenamed *Cortez*, which blazed a trail of wrecked freighters and dispersed convoys across Klingon space in Y173. The *Cortez*, operating away from the embryonic Rapid Transit Network, was pursued by a Klingon squadron and, for whatever reason, decided to turn and offer battle.

## Aftermath

The *Cortez* disengaged after the Cobra was destroyed, leaving two of the Klingon ships badly crippled. The Klingons readily admitted that the *Cortez* could have easily destroyed one of the Klingon ships if it made another firing pass, but this would have risked destruction.

Revolt On Starbase Gamma (SH188)

## Revolt on Starbase GammaPart of Romulan Civil War

During the Romulan Civil War, the Romulan Republic’s initial concerns were for Proconsul Rolandus, rather than the backwater of Starbase Gamma. That base, to galactic south of Romulus and Remus, had been the administrative center for the Romulan southern sectors, never a theater of war. That was about to change.

When the news of the Republic reached Gamma, the base commander, Admiral Morus, announced his adherence to the new Republican order, and the starbase security forces followed him. However, neither Morus nor his staff had considered that the Fifteenth Heavy Cohort, on-base for training,
might refuse to follow the new order. Thus, when the troops under Cohort Commander Tylen revolted, it came as a complete surprise.

Tylen’s revolt was timed for a period when most of the local forces (including the starbase’s own fighters and its PFs and their crews) were on a training exercise some distance from the starbase. Tylen had been in communication with Rolandus, who had sent an assault squadron (under cloak) to Starbase Gamma; her intention was to take the base and hold it until the fleet arrived, thereby delivering most of the southern marches of Romulan space into the new Emperor’s control.

## Aftermath

Tylen’s attack was near success when a hit-and-run raid by the Republicans resulted in her death. The resulting confusion in the 15th Cohort’s command created just enough of a delay for Morus to rally his troops and loyal members of the crew. A cease-fire was negotiated, and Rolandus’ ships evacuated the remnants of the Cohort.

The Chase (SH100)

## The ChasePart of Operation Remus

A Romulan squadron patrolling the war zone was suddenly confronted by a larger Federation Task Force. The Romulan Commander had to make a quick decision: cloak, or turn and try to disengage.

## Aftermath

After a short but desperate flight, the Romulans broke contact and escaped, losing the *Loyalty*. The Federation victory was a hollow one as the *New York* had run over two nuclear space mines and was hit by two plasma-F torpedoes, severely damaging the ship. This action was the opening move for the Federation portion of Operation Remus.

The Coming of the Meteor (SH3)

## The Coming of the Meteor

In Y160 a massive meteor was spotted headed for the industrial colony on Pollux IX. The Federation heavy cruiser Kongo, under the command of Captain Phillip Kosnett, was dispatched to avert the disaster. When Kongo arrived on the scene, however, Kosnett discovered that a Klingon frigate was shepherding the meteor.

## Aftermath

In the greatest traditions of the Star Fleet, Kosnett managed to tow the meteor out of its path without damaging the *Khedive*. Kosnett carefully limited his fire on the Klingon ship to shield damage, putting Kremler in a very vulnerable position with the implied threat of a photon salvo. No fool, Kremler declared "peaceful intentions" and returned to the Klingon border. Kosnett and the Kongo remained on the Klingon border.(SH1)

The Klingons could not punish Kremler without admitting what was really going on, and his career did not suffer. Later, Kremler would encounter the Kongo while in command of the D6 IKV Gnasher (during the massacre at Rita's Planet). (SL61) (SL62)

Starbase Sanguinax (SH165)

## Starbase Sanguinax

During the Andromedan Invasion, the rare starbase assault became somewhat more common. Using their Rapid Transport Network (RTN), the Andromedans would conduct strikes throughout a large area, causing the defending Galactic ships to disperse to defend various sites. Then, faster than the Galactic forces could react, they would mass forces for strikes at key bases, even the mighty starbases. The destruction of a starbase could severely affect operations by Galactic forces in a whole sector, leaving the Andromedans free to implement their nefarious plans. One such assault, the last before Galactic forces learned the secret of the RTN, occurred in Y195 against the Romulan starbase in the Sanguinax System, a battle which would be sung about in Romulan ale halls for the next century.

## Aftermath

In a desperate battle, the Andromedans were able to breach the minefield, drive off the defending Romulan ships, and destroy the attrition units. Andromedan marine robots boarded the station. When all seemed lost, the Romulan crew initiated a heroic counterattack which succeeded in clearing the Andromedans from the docking bays. The Andromedans then, having sustained heavy losses among their satellites and with heavy damage to both Dominators, destroyed the base and withdrew before any relief forces could arrive.

*Sanguinax* was the last Galactic starbase destroyed by the Andromedan invaders.

The Cutlass Episode (SH10)

## The Cutlass Episode

Captain Ardak Kumerian’s raid against Fighter Group No. 26 early that year (SH5.0) was an inspiration to many Klingon captains (as was his promotion to command a D6). Later that year, Captain Kolandian of the D7 Annihilation decided to attempt the same raid. Noting the approach of the Kzinti CV Cutlass, he avoided her (allowing a convoy to be shot up by the fighter group) and went looking for her back-up fighters. Locating and destroying the auxiliary carrier, the Annihilation turned for home and encountered the Cutlass looking for the now-destroyed auxiliary carrier and its back-up squadron.

## Aftermath

After both ships had suffered damage, the impending arrival of additional Kzinti forces encouraged the Klingon ship to disengage.

The Tholian Blockade (SH31)

## The Tholian Blockade

Throughout the war, the Romulans maintained a tenuous communication line wit the Klingons by way of cloaked ships slipping through or along the edge of Tholian territory. The Tholians attempted, not always with success, to block this route.

## Aftermath

Despite desperate maneuvers, the *Volantis* was unable to evade the PFs while cloaked. It uncloaked to offer battle and destroyed one PF, damaging another, before it was forced under cloak to repair damage and reload. Evasion was still impossible, so the *Volantis* uncloaked again and destroyed another PF, but was itself damaged and forced to cloak. Still unable to break contact, the ship used its cloaked decoy to escape and return to Romulan territory, its mission a failure, but with more missions yet to tcome.
The Red WYN Express (T6)

Map of the route taken

## The Red WYN Express

In Y180, as the General War was reaching new heights of savagery, the Orion shipyard in the WYN Cluster desperately needed a shipment of special high technology equipment to complete the construction of several new ships. The shipment had to be brought all the way from Federation territory; four previous convoys had been trapped and destroyed.

Finally, the Orions and WYNs turned to a renegade Lyran, who was known as Red Fur because of his unusual rust-colored pelt. Red Fur agreed to deliver the shipment in exchange for a brand new Battle Raider to replace his aging Raider Cruiser. The scenarios of this mini-campaign portray his epic journey.

## Aftermath

Almost 50 boxes of the cargo were eventually delivered to the Cluster Cartel shipyard.

Storm Surge on the Rocks (SH252)

## Storm Surge on the RocksPart of Kzinti Civil War

The Usurper learned of a previously unknown base on the flank of his advance from which strikes were being launched on his logistics. Knowing the base could not be a major one, as it was not possible for the Patriarch to have constructed one in secret since the beginning of his rebellion, the Usurper sent a detachment to destroy it.

The detachment closed on its objective area under the unanticipated, but fortuitous, cover of a weak ion storm.

## Aftermath

The Kzintis were inexperienced with Orion ships, and were driven off after inflicting some damage. The Orions evacuated their ill-gotten wealth before the Usurper could send a stronger force to deal with them.

Some historians believe that the Orion raids on the Rebel’s rear areas were part of the Usurper’s ultimate failure.

Rolandus Rex (T8S1)

## Rolandus Rex

Finally, after several months, the ISC advance slowed considerably. Romulan intelligence determined that the bulk of the ISC fleet was moving west and beginning to engage the Federation. Suspecting that **Rolandus** was finalizing his preparations for an attempt to seize Romulus, the Senate decided that the time had come to deal with the upstart emperor. A Republican fleet was ordered to arrest **Rolandus**.

As the Republican fleet approached Rolandus' starbase, Rolandus' X-scout detected it at very long range. **Rolandus**, who feared that his starbase and his King Eagles currently under X-conversion might be destroyed in an all out attack, took out his X-squadron to intercept the Republicans.

The Republicans faced several disadvantages in this early battle. First of all, fate had concentrated most of the X-ships produced before the Civil War into the hands of **Rolandus'*. Secondly,*** *Rolandus* enjoyed widespread secret support within much of the Republican star-navy. Even though the Republic had carefully checked the loyalty of its task force, one of the SparrowHawks sent to arrest Rolandus had officers loyal to the new emperor. Rolandus had arranged for this ship to mutiny at his secret command.

Battle Of The Long Claws (SH122)

## Battle of the Long Claws

Duke Larkahn of the Enemy's Blood Duchy was deeply concerned over the formation of the Democratic Dark Star County (DDSC). Power plays between noble families were routine, but if commoners could aspire to rule counties, the game of power would become impossibly complicated. He planned to crush the DDSC with his own fleet, supported by the neighboring Hidden Dagger County (as well as White Stripe and Bloody Claw). Since the entire Zehrk family had been slaughtered ("to the last cub"), he planned to place his second-oldest son on the throne.

Arch Duke Fikrohn and King Rakhzan were alarmed. The political structure of the Empire relied on playing one count against another to keep the dukes from gaining too much power. If Larkahn was able to put his (presumably loyal) son on the throne of a subordinate county, his position would be much stronger, and he would become a threat to the King. If the DDSC was attached to the Foremost Duchy, or even granted a special status independent of any duke, Larkahn's power would be reduced. When the DDSC urgently appealed for help, Fikrohn's fleet (supported by Silver Moon County) was already en route.

## Aftermath

The ensuing "Battle of the Long Claws" resulted in Larkahn's death and royally-sanctioned "autonomous status" for the DDSC. Most of the ships were damaged, but only the *Blooddrinker*, *Marshal*, and the small armed freighter were actually destroyed.

Tug Of War (SH121)

## Tug of War

The Kzintis developed their first battle pods in Y135, hoping to use it as a surprise against pirates and enemy raiders, and also to give their tugs some combat capability if a war situation ever became desperate.

After the first set of pods was successfully tested at the weapons labs on Kzintai, they were placed on a tug to be taken to a starbase and stored for use as needed. The tug joined a convoy headed in that direction, not expecting combat but ready for it if it should come. As luck would have it, a group of pirates chose to raid the convoy during the voyage, giving the battle pods their first field test (and four pirate captains a rude surprise).

## Aftermath

The Orions were aware of the new Kzinti pods, but had seriously underestimated how effective they could make a tug defending a slow moving target such as a convoy. The *Hellhound* was destroyed, and the other LR was severely damaged. The Orions withdrew to look for easier game.

Strike At Rigel IV (SH63)

## Strike at Rigel IVPart of Federation-Romulan Front

In Y177, the Romulans mounted a particularly disruptive raid deep into Federation territory. Under cover of their cloaking devices, a powerful Romulan task force made its way to Rigel IV, one of the home planets of the Rigelians. Since the Rigelians were one of the primary races of the Federation, destroying this planet would have a profound effect on Federation morale and industry. The miniscule Federation peace-at-all-costs/pacifist movement would swell as genuinely terrified people suddenly started asking embarrassing questions about how the war started and what the Federation goals really were.

The Romulans knew that a successful attack on Rigel IV would have other effects. The civilian politicians on other Federation home worlds would demand that battle squadrons be permanently garrisoned in their systems; this would tie down the Star Fleet and reduce combat power on the front. Worlds on the periphery of the Federation would also receive a clear message: If the Federation cannot protect its own home worlds from the Romulans, how can you expect them to protect you? Why continue paying taxes to them? Join the Romulan Star Empire, the most powerful in the Galaxy!

The Romulan plan failed on one point: the one-in-a-thousand chance that a Federation battle squadron would arrive at Rigel IV for reasons unconnected with their raid.

## Aftermath

While Rigel IV was not destroyed, it was heavily damaged. The threat to their home planets forced the Federation to pull a few fleet units back from the war zone, stalling what might have been a Federation counteroffensive.

The loss of the *Consul*, the first Condor to be destroyed in battle, deeply shocked the Romulans. The Praetor prohibited any more dreadnoughts from being sent on such raids, and without their firepower raids on well-defended planets were impossible.

The Sally (SH126)

## The SallyPart of Klingon-LDR Incident

Captain Kruze had been watching the Hydran border for months, with no activity. When word reached him that the LDR had initiated hostilities. Kruze's Frigate Squadron was the northernmost on the Hydran border, and having just left the  base at the angle where Klingon, LDR, and Hydran space conjoined, he was in excellent position to sally into LDR space. Kruze intended to raid LDR shipping and avoid a decisive engagement. He found what he thought was a convoy and moved in to attack.

Unfortunately for Kruze, the convoy was not a convoy, but a detachment of the LDR fleet hastily gathered when Kruze's squadron had been detected on the sensors of an LDR base. So it was that Kruze attacked the only LDR unit in the sector, which he had sought to avoid.

## Aftermath

The Klingons destroyed the "convoy”, the last small armed freighter (Remeer) escaping by sublight evasion. The *Bailiff* was destroyed, and the *Defender* managed to escape. The action was not without cost to Captain Kruze's squadron. His ship was badly damaged, and both the *Trustworthy* and *Eviseerator* were destroyed. The boom of the F5, together with the surviving officers, was later returned by the LDR as part of the negotiated settlement of the "war."

Surprize Fight (SH69)

## Suprize FightPart of Romulan Pre-war raids

A brief but savage battle in Y171, before the Romulans and Federation were officially at war, resulted in a small Federation Task Force flying in retreat before a superior Romulan force. The pursuing Romulans were unaware that a hastily assembled relief force had been dispatched from the nearest base to rescue the Federation Task Force.

## Aftermath

The Romulans succeeded in heavily damaging the combined Federation force, destroying the Q-ship before the Federation ships finally managed to disengage.
Piranha! (SH29)

## Piranha!Part of Klingon Front Y181

In Y181 a Federation Task Force near the Klingon neutral zone was attacked and mauled by the Klingon 77th Gunboat Division. While they knew an attack was coming, their mission was to hold a sector of space, not to retreat at the first sign of trouble. This their story. It is not a happy one.

## Aftermath

While details are unclear (due to Federation attempts to minimize the disaster and confusion with a subsequent battle in which at least one ship damaged in this battle was destroyed), it is clear that the Klingons overwhelmed the Federation force, destroying two frigates and damaging several other ships. The *Konkordium* required five months at a starbase for repairs. Losses among the gunboats were estimated as 75% by the Federation and reported as 25% by the Klingons.
