**History File**
John Hardy was found by Captain Rex Johnston Harding of the U.S.S. Olympia. He was found adrift in an escape pod of unknown origin in an empty region of space.
He appears human but his mental, physical and biological exams prove otherwise.
He has above average strength, speed, intelligence and endurance. He has strong telepathic, telekinetic and empathic abilities.
His extended time in cryo left his memories broken, missing or distorted.
Not being able to remember his name, he chose a name based off his rescuer.
He joined starfleet partially out of gratitude but as well as in hopes of finding clues to his past out in space.
After a few years in Starfleet Academy, John Graduated with honors in every subject. He was immediately assigned to Earth Space Dock as a shuttle pilot. He was given the duty of shuttling around Federation big wigs. After making a lot of friends in the higher ups, he was requested to join the crew of the Cupid's Arrow by Captain Qat'Anmek himself.
After a few months of working around the ship, the Cupid's Arrow was called into action at the Vega Colony where the Borg had attacked Federation space for the first time in more than thirty years.
When they arrived, the battle was already underway, the Cupid's Arrow immediately received an emergency assistance request transmission from the EMH of the U.S.S. Khittomer; which was being over-run by Borg Boarding parties.
Captain Qat'Anmek ordered John to head an away team to rescue the Khittomer.
After doing what he could, rescuing what was left of the Khittomer from certain doom, He was told by the Khittomer's Chief that the Cupid's Arrow was now being over-run and their away team was needed back there. Izzy, A crew Member of the Khittomer, decided to join them, as they were going to need an engineer, and he was the best there was. John agreed, and they beamed to the Cupid's Arrow only to find a near crewless vessel.
However, despite the loss of all ranking officers, John lead the crew to remove the remaining Borg and rescue the remaining ships in the battle.
As a reward for his valor and preference, the ship was left under his command.
For the next year, John commanded the Cupid's Arrow in many missions all over the Sirus, Regulus and Alpha Centuri sectors.
After completing a Diplomatic mission on Vulcan, John was promoted to Lieutenant Commander and Given command of a new Retrofit Constellation class Light Cruiser - the U.S.S. Constitution.
After Transferring the majority of the crew to the new ship, the Constitution was then ordered into the Beta Ursa and Zeta Andromedae sectors for routine patrols and low level missions.
However, After joining Free Lancer Xtreme and helping them repel a massive assault on Deep Space 9 in which the True Way Cardassions managed to take complete control of the station with a massive force, John was promoted to Commander. The main perk of being a commander is getting to chose a ship class, John Chose an Escort, and with some pull from his friends in the admiralty, he got a fresh off the line Escort - the U.S.S. Cupid's Arrow - A. He hung a portrait of Captain Qat'Anmek in the Ready Room out of respect for his fallen friend.
After settling his staff into the new Escort, they were ordered into Romulan Space for some rather difficult missions.
After 2 years of exploring and defending the Psi Velorum and Pi Canus sectors, John was promoted once again. This time, to Captain.
Upon getting officially promoted to Captain he was assigned to a new ship; an escort class armed with plasma turrets, dual heavy cannons and torpedoes called Spineshank.
After only a few months of service, the U.S.S. Spineshank was lost in a massive battle with the Crystalline Entity however, most of her crew managed to get to escape pods and were recovered by other ships after the battle.
The the next week, John was allowed a new ship, an Advanced Escort - the U.S.S. Autobot. with almost the same loadout as the Spineshank, it was in very capable hands.
John was then ordered to head out to do all sorts of missions in all sorts of places... all difficult... but none as difficult as the battle against The Klingon Doomsday Device. in which the ship took an unrepairable amount of damage... but won thanks to some scavenged Harg'peng Torpedos.
Hardy was promoted to Admiral shortly after and given command of his new ship, a fleet escort called Banshee.
The Banshee was not unlike the Spineshank or Autobot in terms of armaments, it was loaded with plasma, just more of it. and more tech as well.
After several years of service as the Captain of the Banshee, he finally found a lead to his past so he cashed in his shore leave and went on a holiday.
Upon returning from what turned out to be a fruitless endeavor, he was given a new ship, the Xtreme; A retro-fitted Cruiser with the brand new Transwarp & Slipstream Drives and Polaron weapons. He was then immediately assigned to diplomacy duty for a year and a half before being assigned to patrol and chart the B'Tran Cluster.
After 2 and a half years of exploring the cluster, he was requested for duty in the Deferi Sector by his old friend Ambassador Surah.
After an extended tour against the Breen, in which he killed over 1000 Breen Soldiers and even managed to recruit one; he and his ship were transferred to sector defense duties. until receiving an order from an old nemesis from Section 31 to investigate a strange occurrence in the Neutral Zone.
After Learning about A Devidian plot to devour the minds of peoples in Drozana Station now and in the 23rd century, Franklin Drake issued orders to traverse the timestream to put an end to their incursion into our reality. After 2 difficult jumps back in time, the Dividian threat was finally thwarted... at least for now. but John and his crew weren't able to celebrate the victory, they were immediately ordered by Commander Alecto of the Free Lancer Xtreme fleet to help take out a group of Remans who took over an ancient ruins dig site. with the aide of the U.S.S. Phox, the Free Lancer Xtreme fleet liberated the researches and re-acquired the relics... as well as discovered a new plant species.
During a short tour of Gamma Orillious with the other leaders of the FLX fleet, the USS Xtreme was partially assimilated by the Borg. almost all the main Borg components were removed, but a weapons console installed in Engineering and a few weapon and shield upgrades were irremovable... but also made the systems stronger... but their green glow is a permanent reminder of that event.
Becasue of the Borg modifications, the Xtreme was ordered into the Undine's homeland - 'Fluidic Space' to try to find some way to create peace between the federation and the Undine.
On the way to the Zemet System in the Pelia Sector to carry out an attempt to infiltrate Undine controlled space, the Xtreme was sidetracked by a distress call from a Romulan Science ship in Borg space.
The Xtreme made it to the scene just in time to save the Romulans from a whole fleet of Cubes, Probes and Shperes.
The Romulans' ship was mostly disabled from the battle so the surviving Borg managed to beam aboard the Romulan ship before their ships were destroyed forcing John and his team to beam aboard the Romulan ship as well and repel the Borg who were trying to assimilate the ship and crew.
While on board Zhaan discovered that the Romulans were toying with using Borg technology again, so John ordered it destroyed... which made the Romulans quite agitated, but as they were in no condition to fight, they retreated swearing revenge on the Xtreme's crew... as they warped out, another Borg fleet warped in led by a massive Borg Flag Ship.
After a difficult battle with the Borg fleet the crew of the Xtreme answered yet another distress call, and warped to the B'Tran Cluster... only to find a Reman trap. After just barely taking out the Reman fleet, the Xtreme re-grouped with Battle Group Omega and got some much needed down time and repairs before resuming the mission into the Pelia Sector.
After a massive battle with the Undine forces in the Zemet System the Xtreme and her crew managed to find a stable passage into Fluidic Space.
The ship held up against the onslaught and proceeded to hold against the massive pressure of the watery abyss of Fluidic Space.
Once there, John and his crew found the first real break Starfleet had gotten with the Undine in a long time. They found a race called the "Hylasa" a non-hostile Alien race native to Fluidic Space that have a symbiotic relationship with living ships known as "The Geklis" or "The Great Ones". These aliens are none too fond of the Undine and offered much insight into their previously shrouded existence.
After dealing with a few small skirmishes with some Undine fleets, the Xtreme was led home by the Hylasa and their Ancient Gekli ship.
After reporting this news to Starfleet, John was ordered back the Kuda System to pick up a powerful telepath to make one last effort at peace with the Undine. After Arriving at the Kuda System KDF/UFOP joint task force blockade, the Xtreme met up with the telepath Celestara Mex and proceeded to escort her ship the S.S. Seleya - a ship designed to travel in Fludic Space more efficiently - into the Undine's territory.
Their arrive in Undine space was met with much hostility. The Xtreme was too much for them so they focused their efforts on the Seleya. after only a few minutes of battle with the Seleya it appeared as though the Undine managed to destroy the ship and kill everyone aboard in the process... though in reality, they had boarded and taken Celestara hostage. Luckily for her, she was able to send out a telepathic message to the entire crew of the Xtreme letting them know what transpired.
John then ordered the Xtreme to pursue the Undine Ship that made off with the hostages. Their pursuit led them to a prison planetoid where the Undine had set up an Earth like Environment to keep prisoners in.
After blasting through the ships around the area, John led an away team down and reclaimed the hostages... but Celestara revealed that the Undine's motives against the Federation were that of self preservation - revenge for transgressions against them.... from what they thought was the Federation... but Celestara get a dark, looming mental trace from the device the Undine had assumed was Federation in origin... she only heard one word... "Iconian"... before it over-whelmed her. John had her beamed directly to the med bay... just then a final group of Undine teleported in and engaged them. The away team made swift work of them and then set the Iconian device overload and explode before beaming out and returning to federation space.
Upon arrival in Federation space, the Xtreme was Hailed by Admiral Ford from ESD and asked to assist the U.S.S. Mayflower in evacuating a frontier colony that was under siege by Borg.
The Xtreme arrived just in time to save Captian Petrelli and the Mayflower from the remaining Borg. Petrelli informed Hardy of silicone based lifeform readings from the surface before leaving to get repairs from Battle Group Omega. The Xtreme crew decided to check out the readings while attempting to evacuate the colony.
Unfortunately, the Colony's mayor McGruph refused to leave so Zhaan came up with a modification to the weather array that'd mask the signatures of the silicone life... but after investigating the array, the planet's chief engineer informed them it had been destroyed recently... so the team went to investigate the Silicone life only to find out that the readings were false and from what was left of the weather array.
John and his team pressed the Chief and he revealed he was Al-Alurian, and wished to join the Borg because his wife was assimilated hundreds of years ago.
John informed McGruph about this, he agreed to deal with him but just then the Borg returned and boarded the Xtreme.
The away team used Emergency transporters to return to the ship but were re-routed to main engineering to help defend the warp core.
After securing the core, the team made for the bridge and made it just in time to save the last few crew members left on the bridge.
Aryn and Zhaan made a quick patch to the transport systems and beamed the remaining Borg into space... then Hardy re-took command and managed to take out a small Borg fleet... but as the Xtreme destroyed the last sphere, a distress call from the planet in which McGruph revealed there were Borg trying to invade the colony again and they were ready to evacuate.
The Xtreme managed to pick up all 759 souls except the Chief Engineer, who allowed the Borg to take him.
Just then another Borg fleet jumped in, and hailed the Xtreme, but instead of the typical message, they were greeted by the now assimilated Chief - Asyla of Borg. after a fierce battle, he was killed along with the Borg fleet... and the Xtreme returned to Battle Group Omega to use their Transwarp Conduit to head to Sierra 39 to get repairs and drop off the colonists.
After a week of waiting for repairs, Hardy and Edie were given a special orders from Commander T'nae to head out on a secret mission into a former Romulan weapons test facility to investigate some strange recent activity. Since the mission was of a sensitive nature, tact, cunning and stealth were of the utmost importance so they were told to requisition a shuttle. After outfitting a Dunube Runabout (the U.S.S. Small Package) with new Aegis tech thanks to a little help from an old friend from Free Lancer Xtreme, Hardy and Edie left for Psi Velorum.
Upon arrival at the Haakona System, Edie informs John that The Vault is heavily trafficked and guarded by Remans, not Romulans as previously expected.
Edie realizes that the station's scanning controls can be jammed with a packet storm from the Runabout's deflectors.
After sneaking in close enough, John gives the command and unleashed a packet storm giving the sensors a temporary overload long enough to slip the U.S.S. Small Package into the main hanger.
Once inside, the pair of Starfleet officers notice there is a lack of activity inside considering the amount of ships patrolling. After a failed attempted to hail a nearby automated shuttle, the Runabout gets caught in a tractor beam net, which was easily remedied by hitting them with some shots from a polaron turret.
After scanning the debris of the turrets, Edie finds a security code to the massive hatch in front of them.
After opening the door with the salvaged code, they fly deeper inside, noticing a lot of plasma discharge and abandoned fighters and crates... as if someone left in a hurry. Upon moving closer to the center of the vault, more traps appear in the form of tractor beams, turrets and powerfully destructive security fields.
After some careful maneuvering and a few shots from the Small Package's turrets, the team made it to a large room with a powered down two Borg Sphere's built into it. Continuing forward, they reached the end of the massive internal complex only to find a Thalaron Generator and many Thalaron weapon traces... just then, they were hailed by a Reman by the name of Obisek; who claims he took what was left of the Thalaron weapons to free his people from Empress Sela's rule once and for all... and nothing else in the universe mattered. After their short parley, Obisek unleashed his Scorpion Fighters along with a Bird-of-Prey and Mogai Escort to leave no one to interfere.
Unfortunately for him, John and Edie make a great team, they managed to take out all the fighters and even the bird of play as well as stranding the Mogai behind a blast door.
Once the Runabout was again clear of The Vault, the cavelry had arrived in the Form of the U.S.S. U.S.S. Lhasa (a galaxy class ship) and was fighting one of Obisek's D'deridex Battleships in a nearby nebula. Of course, John decided to help them out by destroying the fighters and plasma torpedoes being launched from the enemy ship.
After a fierce battle without sensors of any kind, the Federation came out victorious... though it was a bittersweet victory as the Captain of the Lhasa informed them that Obisek had gotten away while they were busy and he was still inside.
Upon his return to Sierra 39, Hardy was informed that the Xtreme was accidentally dismantled for parts instead of the U.S.S. Xenex. Rather than being re-assigned to a desk job until a new ship opened up, Hardy made a call to a Free Lancer Xtreme mate who works at the Memory Alpha ship testing facility and was immediately given a new Retrofit Escort to command.
His new Escort; the U.S.S. Foo Fighter (NX 92012 - W) was re-armed, re-fitted and then re-named with the title of U.S.S. Xtreme (NCC 94311-X) was outfitted with most of the Borg tech that made the previous Xtreme so grand. Along with the Borg tech, this Xtreme was given more of the experimental Aegis tech and was armed with the following Polaron weapons - two sets of Dual Heavy cannons and five Polaron Turrets.
After getting himself and his crew settled in his new ship, John received a distress call from an old Girlfriend who was living on Drozana.
On the Eta Edrani system, the Xtreme received a distress call from a Starfleet battle Group and was forced to engage a group of Cardassians. After a long and fierce battle, the ships formed an impromptu armada and made it back to Sirus where another distress call forced them to fight a Klingon battle group to save yet another Federation squad. After bailing them out John finally set course for Drozana Station, and arrived too late. His former lover had gone missing. John, ditched his uniform and went looking for her.
After interrogating and bribing... mostly bribing the local Ferengi who own and run the station, John learned of a slave labor ring running out of the bowels of the station. The slaves were Federation and KDF front-liners taken from disabled ships, which turned this from a personal mission to a Starfleet mission. John called for reinforcements from the ship, dawned his uniform once more and proceeded to blast his way through the slavers. After a long firefight in the depths of Drozana, Hardy and his team managed to free the slaves... but the leaders of the slave ring slipped out during the fight through the stations lowest shuttle bay.
After reporting the activities of this mysterious slaver organization to Starfleet, Hardy was re-assigned to Jiro's Corps until Starfleet decided on what to do about Obisek.
After a few days of combing data, checking intel and general bureaucracy while John Hardy made several Fist Contacts, Starfleet finally decided on a course of action and sent Hardy to explore a Moon-based mining colony in the heart of the former Romulan Star Empire. After searching the Hfihar system for a few hours, the Xtreme finally found the mine... or moreover the mine hailed them.
The head of the operation; a Ferengi named Madran who invited them down to negotiate a trade deal.
John and Edie beamed down and poked around a bit as well as helped out some civilians in need... and fond out that the mine is not only dangerous for the already SOL miners but there's a group on thugs who don't let people into the bottom level of the mine. Upon approaching Madran with this information, he informed them he wouldn't mind them being removed as they no longer provide him with anything useful.
John and Edie descended into the mine and were confronted by a very abrasive guard. After a bit of parley, they made their way into the only room of the mine but to their surprise, the room was crawling with Tal Shiar operatives.
After defeating them, John and Edie found a pair of pressure plates that activated a secret door - inside the door; a Tal Shiar listening post.
After a few fierce battles and making friends with a Horta, the pair managed to defeat the second in command and free the civilian prisoners before making their way to the command center to confront the leader of the base. Unfortunately, their timing was off, the room was guarded by a force field and the commander had time to initiate the self-destruct sequence before getting away. Edie managed to assimilate the data from the Tal Shiar database before they made a mad dash for the exit... they just barley reached the surface before the mines collapsed.
They questioned Madran one last time... and still learned nothing new. Once back aboard ship, John poured through the data Edie had recovered. After hacking out all the encryption, he found the truth - Romulans have been killing Reman Civilians. Obisek was justified in his anger... but still wrong in his actions. John reported this information to Starfleet in hopes of getting new marching orders... which Starfleet says he'll get but while he's waiting, he was given another mission to attend to.
The crew of the Xtreme was then sent to recover a deep cover Starfleet Intelligence operative in need of an extraction. After infiltrating Orion space and making contact with the operative's handler, the Xtreme made their way to a Ferengi owned trading station and front for an Orion Pirate base to locate Selena, an Orion - the missing operative.
After a rather strange welcome, Selena's handler as well as the senior staff of the Xtreme beamed aboard the station and Selena's handler was immediately recognized as an associate of Selena and attacked by guards. After a small scuffle they made their way into the station, ignoring all the various illegal activities and shady characters around, the away team made it to the main hub of the station, a large cargo area with a fighting ring. John Questioned Bataarn the Ferengi station owner but he had no information even after several bribes. John then decided to go check out the bar where Selena was working. After questioning the bartender and a few patrons, the trail was going cold... Edie managed to hack a terminal using her Borg skills and used the internal sensors and found a large concentration of Orions on the other side of the station.
The team made their way there as fast as possible, just barely making it in time to stop Selena from being executed. After a large firefight in a narrow hallway, they managed to free Selena from her prison/torture device. Edie then was alerted to a whole mess of inbound Orions. the Team quickly beamed out, cloaked and went to high warp.
Once safely away, John called a staff meeting and had Admiral Quinn on Comms for Selena's debrief. Selena had learned that the local Orion leader was very high up in the Empress's chain of command. But with the damage, the team had done to the station and her crew, they probably managed to stop a new Orion power house faction from existing in that sector. Furthermore, she managed to get a data chip from the Orion High Command with information on everything they are up to... thanks to hiding the data as part of her clothes.
After Dropping Selena and Her Handler off at Sierra 39, Commander T'nae asked to speak with John. She gave him orders to check into Obisek's story on his own but not to go overboard and not to break any of Starfleet's regulations. John agreed and returned to the Xtreme which then left Sierra 39 to engage a nearby Gorn attack fleet attempting to destroy a small convoy of frigates being led by a heavy cruiser by the name U.S.S. GooseDuck captained by Alex Fairchild. She requested aide from any allied vessels in the vicinity and got it from the Xtreme.
After escorting the convoy the rest of the way out of the nebula, John was hailed on his private channel by T'nae.
T'nae told them to go to a Reman base that's currently being targeted according to the data they recovered.With any luck, they could convince the Remans to just seek refuge and drop the Thalaron weapons before the Romulans arrive to wipe them out.
After arriving at the system they knew the base to be in, they were met by a Reman scout running from a Tal Shiar D'deridex battleship, John ordered the Xtreme to engage the D'deridex and to keep a sensor lock on the scout.
After defeating the D'deridex, a Mogai escort decloaked and begun chasing the scout as well. John Ordered a line of fire targeted between the Mogai and the scout which forced it to turn and fight and the Xtreme had not trouble taking it out.
Zhaan informed John that the scout has approached a planet and disappeared - most likely beamed to the surface.
The Xtreme gave chase and located a Reman base on the surface. John and his away team beamed in and started exploring... noticing that the base was a D'deridex that had been stripped and relocated under ground!
Just as they got past the storage and maintenance area, the team was attacked by a horde of Glikar'ma Ice Spiders and a pack of Jackal Mastiffs. after a brutal battle, the team found the path ahead to be blocked by a high-weave pollimer blast door. The door was too strong to break or open with their equipment.
Luckily, there was a mining laser there to assist them with the door. Unfortunately, it was malfunctioning. John used his wits to use spare Romulan and Reman weapon power cells found in the storage area to create a new power source to replace the malfunctioning one in the laser. After a large boom, the team was welcomed into the Reman base without a fight.
Upon reaching the main room, Obisek pleaded for the Federation's help against the genocide of his people at the Tal'Shiar and their "Demon" puppet master's hands. John thought about it for a moment, then asked if he still had any Thalaron weapons, Obisek admitted he did. John considered what he would do if the people he cared about were being killed... and questioned Obisek further. After hearing out Obisek's story, John Agreed to let him continue even if his methods were potentially catastrophic.
Obisek declared he glad that was John's response. Just then, the Tal'Shiar forces beamed in and began to assault the base. Obisek then beamed out his civilians and non-comatants and beamed in his ship's security forces and attacked the Romulans with the help of John's team.
After a long and grueling fight in the frozen, cramped hallways, John managed to kill the Tal'Shiar invasion force and disable the trasport inhibitor. Just then, a call from the Arowhead informed John that the main Romulan fleet was only minutes away, and that it was time to go. The Away team beamed out and went to high warp.
After achieving a safe distance in Alpha Centuri sector, John contacted T'nae with the situation. T'nae admitted it would be the right thing to do to assist them, but they can't offer military support without proof of the "Demons" existence. However, humanitarian aide was perfectly acceptable.
Just after leaving his ready room, the Xtreme received a hail about a Romulan war party engaging Federation ships and quickly warped to the rescue.
Soon after finishing off the last ship, the Xtreme received a hail from Obisek informing them that a shipment of the Thalaron weapons had gone missing in Romulan space. Obisek admitted he didn't have the manpower to go after them and would appreciate it if the Xtreme could find his crew... if the Thalaron weapons existed, the Federation could do whatever they wanted with them, he just wanted his people back. John agreed as this would help in his "investigation" and get those evil weapons off the streets. The Xtreme set course for the Dera system and off they went.
Once in the Dera system, sensors picked up a massive amount of debris centering around a Romulan satellite. The Xtreme maneuvered close enough to get a detailed scan of the debris to see if the missing ship was among them... suddenly, a large energy burst erupted from the satellite overloading most of the Xtreme's systems, powering down others and holding them in place. Using a field emitter John managed to Transport a small away team over to the satellite. Once there, they managed to decrypt the system lock and re-target the energy burst to a large chunk of debris giving the Xtreme enough power to move away and beam the crew back. John Hardy however, didn't beam back with the rest of the away team. His signal was redirected to a holding cell on the planet's surface.
After waking up in a cell on the planets surface, John was forced to fight in gladiatorial combat for the amusement of a sinister voice.
John beat every wave of beasts thrown at him and with the help of the other prisoners managed to secure better weapons and find one of the missing Remans who knew how to escape. Before exiting the Colosseum via a sewage pipe the Reman helped him find, John managed to recover some data about the Tal'Shiar and the Iconians working together.
After hours of trekking across an enormous desert while dodging Scorpion Fighters and killing wild animals on the way toward the crashed Reman Thalaron transport, the Reman Salmek; informed John that he had ejected the Thalaron weapons in orbit to destroy them once and for all... and that he wasn't going to make it through the night without medical attention... so the pair stopped in a cave and built a fire while John went to find some medicinal herbs, water and food. John made it back just before the sun went down and managed to save Salmek's life.
The next morning they set off towards the ship again, hoping to find a way to contact the Xtreme. They made it there after only an hour of walking. With Salmek's help John managed to salvage enough bits and pieces to make a crude coordinance transmitter.
Shortly after activating it, a John heard a commotion outside the wreak, assuming it was his crew, he went to check - to his surprise, it was Hakeev - the Romulan from the mining base with a massive security detail. Surrounded and outnumbered, John got ready to die... but just as they fired their disruptors, John was beamed to the Xtreme.
The Xtreme managed to make it back to Starbase 39 on low warp jumps and impulse power... barely. the Iconian weapon the Romulans had on the satellite had completely totaled the Xtreme's circuits. She had become a space hulk in under a six months of action. With the crew disheartened at the news, John contacted the Fleet Admiral of Free Lancer Xtreme and managed to secure a top of the line Fleet Escort fresh off the assembly; The NCC-943110. She hadn't yet received a name... so John chose... Xtreme. and with his special upgrades salvaged from the old Xtreme, the new registry was NCC-943110-X.
After Reporting the situation to T'nae, John was given orders to work with Jiro again until the Federation officials came up with a good plan of action.
After a few weeks of various diplomatic activities as well as assisting a few federation ships over-whelmed by enemy forces... John Received a call from T'nae. he was ordered to head to the Brea system as the Remans had already sent a force to invade it. the Xtreme's mission was to arrive before them, and try to find and question Hakeev.
Upon Arrival in the system, the Xtreme was met by force. several ships and turrets waiting to fire on enemy vessels. After a massive space battle, the Xtreme beamed it's strike teams to the surface. John Found himself alone in the middle of the capital building's courtyard. Edie contacted him over the coms informing him of a transporter scatter device preventing beam in locks. continuing the mission, John managed to sneak attack several Romulan guards and technicians before running into a battle between his strike teams and Romulans. After assisting them, John moved on to find a Scorpion Fighter hanger, which he ordered hit with an orbital assault. After that, he made his way over a roof and onto catwalk to find a Scorpian fighter on a roof across from him, He popped a few shots into it's engine and it exploded. heading back the way he came, he managed ot reprogram one of the teleportation scramblers to move a force field Hakeeve was using to protect his location. upon reaching the street again, John assisted a group of Remans that had since arrived and was doing battle with Romulans. Following the mission path, John went up another catwalk and got a good vantage point of a massive Thalaron bombardment mortar turret. John had that orbital struck as well. After reaching the highest point of the catwalk, John encountered more of his strike team battling Romulan Commanders on a roof. After dealing with them with only a few casualties, John took a key off one of their bodies so he could unlock Hakeev's palace gates. Upon reaching the street leading to the palace, John saved more Remans from Romulans then opened the gate and continued into the courtyard. Hakeev greeted John with open arms... as in weapons.
After a massive shootout, Obisek himself joined the fight. Hakeev was killed in the battle as was John's longest and most trusted crew member Chief Engineer Izzy.
John then told Obisek to return to his ship and continue the fight up there. He then searched Hakeev's body to find his datapad. John used the pad as a key to open the locked science wing and Iconian gateway wing. after placing spacial charges on the wing, he left to see that the palace entry gate was a massive Iconian gateway... John beamed out as the gate was bombarded by photon torpedos.
Once back on the Xtreme, Obisek informed John that the Iconian probes and Tal'Shiar forces were growing in number, not shrinking.
After several minutes of battle, Empress Sela herself arrived on the Romulan flagship. After an hour of battle with her ship alone, the Xtreme and Remens finally disabled her ship just as an Iconian ship came through a space gateway hidden in the asteroid in orbit around Brea III and took Sela's vessel in tow back with it. John fired all weapons destroying the gateway so no more Iconian or Romulans could make it into the battle... John then informed Obisek he must leave to inform Starfleet. Obisek agreed and the Xtreme beamed out the remaining crew off the surface and made it's way to Sierra 39. T'nae was glad the ship made it out with only minimal casualties. She asked John to meet Obisek at the Vault to return the wounded Remans saved during the Brea mission. On the way there, the Reman Science Commander Vranlesek asked if he may remain with the crew of the Xtreme, as he owed them for saving his life and the life of his men. John agreed as long as it was okay with his other commander - Obisek. Obisek - filled with gratitude gave John a gift, a golden Horta statue and informed him that his people are free to do whatever they chose so his officer is now the Xtreme's.
John then took some time off at Deepspace K-7 and after a few drinks with Naomi Wildman, he was challenged to build his own Delta Flyer like the one she inherited from the U.S.S. Voyager. she gave him the basic information but told him he'd need to do the gruntwork on his own. He immediately returned to his ship and got a small team together and launched the Captains Yacht for a little adventure... off the books... mostly.
During the next two months, John and his small team aboard the Free Lancer explored the Delta Volanis cluster's mostly un-traveled areas. This exploration lead John to many planets in need of help and to confront multiple hostile forces and after many close scrapes for the Free Lancer and/or her crew, John found enough diagnostic data and resources to complete the Delta Flyer.
Upon obtaining enough resources, John Headed back to Sol system where he re-docked the Free Lancer into the Xtreme and then set a course for Memory Alpha to build the Delta Flyer.
After a day of manufacturing and assembling the pieces the Xtreme was blessed with a new top-of-the-line fighter/racing Shuttlecraft.
After returning to the Xtreme, John opened up a hailing frequency with Naomi from his ready room and showed her the results. After sharing some stories with each other, they ended their conversation.
John then left and Headed to Eta Edrani to follow up on some True Way activity.
After Arriving in Eta Edrani, the Xtreme received an emergency distress hail from a Ferengi run deuterium refueling station in the Alhena system. John ordered the Xtreme to head strait to Alhena I to assist the station. Upon arrival, Crichton informed John that the True Way Cardassian ships had already started engaging the deuterium storage tanks with intent on destroying them. John then ordered the ship to maneuver between the tanks and the enemy ships. After taking the ordered action resulting in a tactical advantage, The Xtreme pulverized several waves of True Way forces. After the long battle, scans of the wrecks uncovered some secret data on remnants of computer cores. After collecting the cores for analysis and buying some deuterium, Zhaan began decoding the information stored on the cores.
The data revealed that the True way was active in a few different sectors. The first that John chose to check on was in the Donatu system. Once near, the Xtreme hooked up with a battle fleet consisting of Captian Domish Eboth of the U.S.S. Armada and Captain Sara Riley of the U.S.S. Saint Louis and together they entered the system to find a group of Cardassian ships internally battling with Devidians. John managed to beam his elite away teams over to assist them. After helping clear out the Devidians, the few Cardassians still alive were grateful for the assistance and revealed an experimental personal shield that attracted the Devidians like a moth to flame. After some modifications, the shield instead repelled Devidians but it was finished too late to save the crew, the grief-stricken Cardassians handed the shield over and destroyed the data pertaining to it so it never happened again.
John; now equipped with a new shield prototype, the battle group set course for the Alhir system.
Once there they ran into a Cardassian blockade on a Federation colony which they blasted through with relative ease. Only then did they notice that there was a huge concentration of Jem H’dar and Cardassians on the planet’s surface and they were all near large amounts of weapons signatures. The three ships each sent an away team to the biggest concentration locations. Once there, they were met with gunfire but losing only Ensign Ricky and Lt Jim they managed to destroy the weapons facilities that the True Way had built but not before finding more data about where the weapons that were already made were headed. Matching the new data to the recovered data, The battle group headed to an outlaying moon to destroy the secret weapons cahé’s hidden there. After a small fight with some Jem H’Dar fighters and Cardassian ships the team blew the weapons caché to hell.
After the events involving The True Way Alliance, John was ordered to take the Xtreme to deep space for routine exploration… after a few months, Kyn informed John that he had finished building some Breen upgrades for the ship. This meant removing some previous Agies gear… but the benefits outweighed the losses so John agreed and Kyn installed them…
After a few months of standard patrol duty, John received a call from Admiral Marconi on DS9. He was requested to head to the Chapel system to help the U.S.S. Rubicon search for possible Terran incursion points.
After Arriving at Starbase Chapel 3 in the Chapel System, the Xtreme Rendezvoused with Captain Christopher Dorgan of the Rubicon. They laid out a search plan of the Chapel System and the neighboring system and went to work.
After an hour of searching various anomalies the Xtreme found a debris field of Terran ship wreckage... but one ship still funtioning but before they had time to scan it, more Terran ships dropped out of a nearby portal and began attacking them... after making quick work of the Terran fleet, the Xtreme realized the barely working ship in the debris field was dubbed the "U.S.S. Draco" After a closer scan, they realized that the ship was inhabited by non-Terrans from the mirror universe and they were in need of help - but since all their main and secondary systems were offline so it meant beaming over... John grabbed his gun and gave the order for Edie, Chiana, Kyn and Vranlesek to join him and off the beamed to the Draco's bridge.
Once on the bridge, the Gorn in charge; Captain Rhogar met them with open arms and begged for their help. John talked it over with his away team and the chose to help in any way possible. The team got to work healing the injured bridge officers, fixing and managing systems and most importantly, getting the turbo lifts online so they could reach engineering and get the ship back to working condition.
After getting a few of the turbo lifts back online, they attempted to make their way to the Main Engineering section on Deck 22.. however, the Turbolifts, had other ideas... the team was dropped into the science engineering sections on deck 20 and the turbolift lost power again.
Captain Rhogar informed them they could reroute power to a local turbolift from generators they had set up in that section but the area was crawling with Terrans that had boarded before losing their ships... John and his team fought through the Terrans with ease and managed to get enough power from the 3 remaining generations to power a nearby lift. They took the lift hoping to get to Main Engineering only to get dropped out on Deck 21 at the other end of the ship.
This deck was even more infested with Terrans and they were taking hostages which is out of character for them... a desperate last move... A quick tap on the combadge allowed the Xtreme to beam all the hostages out. With the hostages safe, the away team was able to easily remove the Terran threat and get to a local working Emergency Turbolift that only went to Main Engineering and the Bridge.
Once in Main Engineering, John's team helped the Draco's forces take back the whole area from the Terrans and proceed fix the damaged systems... after a few hours of work, the ship was battle-capable with shields, weapons and engines online... and all slightly above 50% capability. but before they could finish repairs Chriton chimed in from the Xtreme that the portal was fluctuating again and more Terran ships were inbound.
The team beamed back and prepared for a fight, Zhaan informed John that she had sent word to the Rubicon about the situation and he'd be on his way shortly. But just then; the Mirror Rubicon and the now quite angered Mirror Captain Drogan dropped out of the portal with a small armada... the Draco, and the Xtreme engaged them while the Xtreme was mostly trying to keep the m off the Draco... The I.S.S. Rubicon managed to take out the Xtreme's main power couplings and the battle seemed lost when the USS Rubicon showed up and blasted the I.S.S. Rubicon to bits... But just when all seemed over, an open channel hail came across the comes from the Mirror Drogan gloating that Hardy would rue the day... John and Christopher tried to figure out how he survived his ship going boom but neither could get a handle on it... the Rubicon agreed to stay with the Draco until repairs had finished and they'd escort her back to the portal then destroy the portal behind them. John took the Xtreme back to Starbase Chapel 3 for repairs.
