USS Tempest

Stormchasers

In a graveyard among the stars, history proves less about the truth, but who can win the duel to control the story.

Mission Description

Starfleet Task Group Eurus-7 vanished over two centuries ago, venturing into what is now Klingon territory and never being seen again. In the aeons that followed, through intelligence and diplomacy, slivers of the truth have slunk out: a confrontation with the Klingon Defence Force, a battle lost, the Starfleet ships and crews among the earliest casualties in the long and fraught history of Federation-Klingon relations. Even as the relationship has warmed, however, local Klingon houses have guarded their territories, histories, and secrets jealously, leaving the fate of Eurus-7 a mystery.

The fall of the local ruling Klingon house is, for the Federation, a point of concern – a disruption of the delicate balance, a question of how the warmongering Chancellor Toral will reassign territory, reassert control. Until then, a situation that admirals describe as a political concern is nothing but an opportunity for enterprising Captain Evelyn Pentecost of the USS Tempest. An explorer and historian, Eurus-7 is a mystery that has long captured her imagination. If ever a Starfleet ship could venture into the Skaleri sector and discover her fate, now is the time window, before any single Klingon House can declare itself the region’s new master, and, perhaps, bar the doors anew.

But Tempest may not be alone in coming for this mystery, and history will side with whoever controls the story.

USS Tempest: Stormchasers

The archaeology lab had been stripped of its usual clutter, as the Tempest’s favoured research space, and turned into something like a war room. Holographic maps and overlays hung in the air, nebula gas rendered in clouds of green and violet, the Glenmore’s telemetry streaking paths across it. [...]

‘You want me to monitor our Klingon guests,’ Renard echoed, gaze incredulously level as she stared across the ready room at Pentecost. The fact Pentecost was sat behind her desk spoke how much the captain wanted to lean on rank and protocol to get her through this meeting. Nevertheless, she [...]

USS Tempest: Stormchasers

Captain’s log, Stardate 2402.8. We’ve left Breaker’s Quay behind, to not make the locals too nervous, but until we crack open the Glenmore’s computer core, we don’t have our next heading. I’m not too worried about trouble finding us while we take a beat, though: now we have Captain [...]

USS Tempest: Stormchasers

Pentecost stepped past Renard without slowing, offering Kovor the kind of smile she’d normally wear in a bar on shore leave: polite, irreverent, and dismissive all at once. ‘That was colourful, Captain,’ she told the Klingon, nodding back to the square and the crowd whispering around the [...]
