Search To Begin For U.S.S. Albion

by Jennifer MacBride — staff reporter

STARBASE HATTERAS – Under the command of Capt. Jonathan Hunter, Constitution-class heavy cruiser U.S.S. Pathfinder prepares to depart Starbase Hatteras on June 1, 2265.

Ship and crew have remained at the starbase for the past couple of months as the Pathfinder underwent repairs sustained from its involvement in the Battle of Moekata.

However, the ship will be leaving Hatteras without completion of all repairs.

“The ship is well enough along that whatever remains to be done with regards to repairs can likely be completed as we go,” says Captain Hunter.

“What is important right now is that we get out there to determine what has happened to the U.S.S. Albion and her crew,” he continues.

Starfleet reports that the Larson-class destroyer U.S.S. Albion was investigating a possible pirate attack on a civilian transport, causing ship and crew to divert and investigate.

Since beginning their investigation several hours ago, the ship has gone silent and not reported in.

Being the only available cruiser within the region, the Pathfinder and its crew are being dispatched to seek out the missing Albion within the Hatteran Expanse.

Colony Destroyed, Few Survive

by Jennifer MacBride — staff reporter

MOETAKA – Under the command of Capt. Jonathan Hunter, the Federation’s U.S.S. Pathfinder responded to a distress call sent by the fledgling Federation colony on April 1, 2265.

Ship and crew arrived to find the colony under siege by a Klingon Imperium bird-of-prey and battlecruiser.

The Constitution-class heavy cruiser was able to defeat the rebel Klingons, but not before the colony itself was destroyed when the dying Klingon cruiser plummetted through the atmosphere.

Its unstable reactor breached when the ship crashed into the heart of the colony.

Capt. Hunter led the initial search and rescue away teams, making sure his team remained on location until such time as all those still alive were beamed aboard the Pathfinder.

Few survivors were recovered from the ashes of the colony.
