Today I have ask you, my fellow fleet members, to gather for a ceremony without precedent, to honor a fallen fellow fleet member, officer, and friend, struck down by an illness that his very hard to beat.
There are no words for the magnitude of our loss. Even those of us who are newcomers to the fleet are moved to share in this time of collective bereavement. This fleet member was a microcosm of our whole community. Sent out in pride and confidence as a starfleet officer,he was a vibrant, energetic, caring member of this fleet, deeply involved with friends, and professional responsibilities. His life was inter knit in complex ways; third in command of the fleet, chief financial officer, and captain of his own ship and crew.
Now, as we think of all that this fleet member accomplished, and all that he was not allowed to accomplish, our voices fail. “Words strain, / Crack and sometimes break, under the burden, / Under the tension” — as T. S. Eliot wrote in Four Quartets. At this limit of language, we take comfort in silence. We draw strength from each others presence, and we summon courage for another year’s commitment to life.
As a fleet, even on his birthday May 17, we must continue to frame hard questions, to give voice to the voiceless, and to piece together whatever shreds of understanding may inform our ongoing response to that painful day February 26th 2012 . That is what we have done all year, and that is what we are doing today.
In the spirit of this gathering, and on behalf of the United Federation of Planets, Starfleet Command, And The "Lucky" 7Th Fleet, I dedicate this Starbase Plaque, in remembrance of Admiral Solrac Yatug on this day, Stardate 2049.18.5

Bluto: Hey! What's this lying around shit?
Stork: Well, what the hell we s'posed to do, you moron?
D-Day: War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto: Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.
Bluto: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough... [pauses to remember the rest of the phrase] ...the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go! [runs out, alone; then returns]
Bluto: What the fuck happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you're gonna let it be the worst! "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well, just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this! Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer—
Otter: Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.
Bluto: And we're just the guys to do it.
D-Day: Let's do it.
Bluto: LET'S DO IT!!

Finally got another mission out there. I hope you guys enjoy it.
It's story driven, so there is not a whole lot of combat. Any feedback, either here, or via the review system, is, of course, much appreciated.
If you can't find it, make sure you have become a 'Reviewer.' Even if you have done this in the past, you may need to re-do it. Until the mission gets 5 or more reviews, it won't show up for anyone who isn't an actual reviewer.

Caitian Atrox Carrier
Starting this Thursday (May 3, 2012), around 10AM PST, the new Caitian Atrox Carrier will be available for sale in the C-Store for 2,000 C-Store points.
To deal with the increasing threat of the Klingons and the tactical advantage they have with their carrier ships, the Federation has called upon their member worlds for assistance.
In response, the Caitians made their fierce Atrox Carrier available to Starfleet. A true carrier, the Atrox has been updated by the Caitians and the Starfleet Corps of Engineers with modifications that give it some of the abilities of a science vessel, including subsystem targeting and bonuses to Shield and Auxiliary power. These abilities allow the Atrox to support its fighters as well as other ships in its fleet.
The Atrox comes standard with two hangar bays, each stocked with Caitian Stalker Fighters. These stealth fighters can mask their energy signature and are equipped with Tetryon Pulse Cannons and a Thoron Device. Caitian Stalker Fighters can be launched from any Flight Deck Cruiser or Carrier.
Caitian Atrox Carrier:
Minimum Rank: Vice Admiral (level 50)
Weapons: 3 Fore, 3 Aft
Bridge Officers: 1 Lieutenant Tactical, 1 Lieutenant Commander Engineering, 1 Lieutenant Commander Science, 1 Commander Science
Consoles: 2 Tactical, 3 Engineering, 4 Science
Devices: 4
Crew: 3,000
Turn Rate: 5 degrees per second
Impulse Modifier: 0.15
Hull Strength: 40,500
Shield Modifier: 1.2
+5 Power to Shields
+10 Power to Auxiliary
Subsystem Targeting
2 Hangar Bays
Caitian Stalker Fighters
In addition to this new carrier, starting Thursday, we are introducing rare (blue) quality fighter-pets into the Dilithium store -- these will be available for both factions. More information about these will be revealed in the patch notes that will be posted Wednesday evening.
