Starbase Dedication

[Captain Talbot]

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

It was an honor and a privilege to be the guest of honor on behalf of my close friend Carlos, it was an unexpected surprise. I thank all who worked so hard and diligently on this project.

At this time I hereby commission the naming of the 7th Fleets Starbase to Starbase Solrac Yatug - SB643. Again many thanks to all...
