Mission: The Campaign for Coridan

[Unicorn Bridge]

Whitford sat in the Command Chair, slumped to one side to relieve pressure where he'd smashed into the console when the Romulan mine hit. He was tense, wired. The waiting was interminable. A vast cloud had been thrown up across most of Coridan, shielding the surface from the sun, and Unicorn's people from their ship.

Transports had plunged into the cloud layer, unheeding of the danger to themselves in the rush to rescue their comrades, and any civilians they could cram into their steel bellies. Other Coalitions starships were arriving in orbit, allowing Unicorn to coordinate the activities,…

Mission: The Campaign for Coridan
Posted on Mon Jun 30th, 2025 @ 2:07pm by Lieutenant Amelia Johansen & Lieutenant Commander Alexander Coleman & Major Iria

The wind was starting to pick up around the medical camp bringing with it an ominous sense of dread as the medical team quickly ran out time. The crew were all wearing face masks now, an order given out by Dr. Coleman almost as soon as everyone went to work.

Looking around at the medical team in front of him, Coleman asked, "How's everyone hanging in there? Everyone doing alright? Did we get all of the patients hunkered inside?"

Iria's voice was somewhat muffled by the small respirator affixed to her face. Her physiology was more resilient against radiation, but…

::ON::

Whitford paced the deck of Unicorn's vast launch bay. Designed with deploying MACO in mind, the space was far larger than he was used to. Never really having cause to come down to this area of the ship often, he was always taken by surprised. Weaving his way through the various medical and support staff who were moving walking and otherwise-wounded around, he marvelled at the efficiency of his crew.

They had done so well to coordinate the evacuation of as much of Coridan as was possible. The Unicorn was now stuffed to the gills with civilians and servicemen…

---USS Unicorn - Hangar Bay---

Whitford raced out of the turbolift two of his Armoury crew hot on his heels. Making a bee-line towards the single-man construction pods, he ordered them to open up the cockpits, and begin tearing out the unneeded systems. Awkwardly shoving himself underneath the pilot's console, he began systematically tearing out the elements they no longer needed to fly the contraption, leaving a nest of trailing wires in the space.

Hearing his name called, he moved too quickly to get up, smashing his temple against the underside of the stick control, and yelped. Pressing a palm…

'Kerr, this is Bassett,' the Sergeant opened his comm on a secure channel. 'Withdrawing from the dropship. We have wounded. Lay down suppressing fire on our signal. Acknowledge, over.'

"Yes, Sir. I'll do what I can, Sir," Kerr replied. He'd given his rifle to the sergeant, but he still had his hand phaser and a few flash grenades.

'Kurt, Jenko, you've got Gaagii,' Bassett said curtly as he leaned his head out the door. 'Make sure you don't fall behind.' He turned to Reece, 'Sir, you got this. Bogies at three o'clock, once you lay down the fire, we'll bug…

Posted on Tue Sep 3rd, 2024 @ 6:27pm by Colonel Josiah McEntyre

Personal Log, Josiah McEntyre - September 3rd, 2156. Two Weeks of fighting these Romulan Bastards and not a inch of ground to show for it. The Capital is heavily fortified, a massive energy shield and AA emplacements surround the city like walls of a castle.

It has been elected that we start by breaking holes in this so-called wall. Raiding runs and FOBs lobbing plasma shells against the shields have been or are being set up near to Camp Lambda, the landing zone and command base for the Campaign.

Meanwhile, Unicorn and Task Force: Gamma continue to hold orbit. Apart…

As the War intensified, the United Earth began to turn more to its elite forces to turn the tide against the Romulans.

After the fall of Berengaria, this responsibility fell to the elite teams of MACO Special Operations.

These elite teams were handpicked by General George Casey from the most trusted of his field commanders to take the fight to the Romulans at any costs.

MACO Special Operations were led by three officers divided into 3 detachments: Alpha, Bravo, Charlie.

Special Operations Detachment Alpha was led by Colonel (later Major General) Josiah "Josh" McEntyre, operating from the Battleship Unicorn.

Personal Log...it's...uh...the twelfth of June, 2156. I just came aboard the SS Unicorn. She's one of the new Yorktown class battleships that Starfleet Command has finished building and added to the fleet. Not only that, but she's commanded by a MACO and not a fleeter. Her CO is Colonel Josiah McEntyre, one of the toughest S.O.B.s I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Last time I saw him, was back in '48, when I attended SERE School, at the Lunar One Special Warfare Center. He was CO of the school at the time and, shit, he knew how to hit…

» Chief Engineers Log #3

Posted on Thu Dec 21st, 2023 @ 2:04pm by Lieutenant Commander Travis Paladin

Begin log.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting our new Chief Helm Officer, Lieutenant Kayoko Himeji. She is a very optimistic person, though seems a bit timid if not shy. She had a tour of Main Engineering recently and I found it rather thrilling to share my passion. I've yet to grasp her passion, but she claims to be a good pilot. I believe her. I hope the tour today helped with that and look forward to what she'll do with that information.
