Ship News
USS New York 71868
The New York continues on the Mercy Mission to Acamar II. Additional medical and security personnel were moved to the planet surface. The officers on the New York hope there is enough medicine, food and anti-toxin to decontaminate the farming lands.
They were successful in removing the nanobots from their atmosphere, Acamar II is now safe for air vehicle travel again. While investigating the debris field more evidence was discovered that this is the result of a possible renewed feud between them.
We hope the New York finishes her mission soon. Good luck
USS Aryes NCC 81204
The Aryes held a meeting of their crew members and began to brain storm on how to rebuild the crew and get the ship going once more.
The crew will meet once again this Tues and hopefully have enough crew to sim this week. In addition, the crew extends an open invitation to any member looking for another sim to join, that they look over the Aryes. The Co Sorwen Tirina already has interesting storylines waiting to be unitized.
We wish the Aryes and her crew a speedy return to her former self.
101st Marine Pathfinders
The brave men and women of the 101st continue to weaken the enemy and has made a sufficient brake though under the leadership of its command staff. Comprised of Major Keith Fox Commanding officer, 1st Lt. Sandra Iverson XO, and 1st Sgt Stallings.
During the battle Major Fox was injured and we wish him a speedy recovery. The battle was hard fought and the enemy was forced to retreat. After they suffered massive injuries and deaths.
Well done to the members of the 101st.
USS Pegasus NCC 25347
Has finished the strangest mission to date. But when doesn't a mission turn strange whenever a "Q" enters the picture. The crew of the Pegasus thanks to Magica the Q, relieved part of their first mission. This was done to recover a scroll.
After the scroll was returned to Magica they were transported back to what appeared to the present. However, while helm was ordered to the Cardiassian boarder the ship proceeded to Delta 12, acting as if it had its own mind.
Then Magica returned and looking around snapped her fingers and the entire timeline the Pegasus was on altered once again. This time to present day, the reason for Magica getting the scrolls was to reset the timeline after it was altered.
Good luck to the crew and the Pegasus.
USS Frontier NCC 11385
The Frontier continues onto Vulcan in an attempt to return Samuk for the completion of his Ponn Farr. They have a ship which is following them. One can only guess why anyone should be so interested in a Federation ship going to Vulcan.
Lt Samuk continues to fight with the demons of the Ponn Farr. He was able to break out of the brig and gave security a difficult time. He was appended and is now back in the brig for his own safety.
We wish them a speedy voyage.
Board Sims
USS Vindicator NCC 16052
The brave men and woman of the Marine division on the Vindicator are under attack by the Lyrans. Fortunately the number of causalities to Star fleet remains low. The Lyrans are learning slowly that the Federation is a force to be recokened with.
Colonel Keraz has devised battle plans that will ensure the Lyrans are driven out and will not be returning. It is now almost a certainty that the Lyrans arrived there to secure intelligence. However there is little of any real value on Tolnac II. And what was left by the pervious Marines was outdated.
USS Terrasect NCC 7000
The Terrasect continues to skirt the Romulan neutral zone. Most of what is happening can not be discussed here. They continue to scout for the small ship they're meeting there.
We wish them all the luck, they just might need it.

Returning United Forces Personnel
We welcome back Colonel Magasus Stevenson who began his career in the United Forces as the original XO of the Pegasus. Due to the intrusion of real life he had to leave us for a time.
Now that's he's free to rejoin us he will be joining the crew USS Aryes NCC 11385. Captain Sowren Tirina could not find a better officer for her ship. He has requested to be placed anywhere he's needed on the ship.
Welcome home Magasus for the record you are still missed on the Pegasus. We look forward to seeing and working with you again.

Interview of the week
This member who is chosen for this, is entirely at random and unknown to the member until my famous IM introduction of "your my latest victim lol".
This week we found our own very elusive Fleet Admiral James Archilles Harsting-Sohni. He has multi roles as most on the command staff have. He is our very own talented and highly creative webmaster. He also directs the Research and development division, has now started a trivia game for the United Forces. Naval commandant, Co CnC.
Jenina Weslynes1 [12:43 P.M.]: Fleet Admiral Harsting, you began with being a commodore in the United Forces due to a series of events you found yourself the Fleet Admiral. What are your feelings on this promotion. And what do you hope to get out of it and to take with you?
FltAdmJAHarsting [12:45 P.M.]: Well, it was a surprise to be sure. I was saddened by the fact that my long term friend, Crystal Stuart had to leave due to her own personal issues. It was bittersweet. But more than anything, all I want is everyone to have fun, get more and more experience, and keep the UF running as long as possible--- hopefully forever!
Jenina Weslynes1 [12:47 P.M.]: What did you do before becoming Fleet Admiral, for instance engineering, medical etc. And why did you choose the field you entered?
FltAdmJAHarsting [12:49 P.M.]: I was an engineer. It was the field best suited for me I guess. I also majored in tactical concepts, however, engineering is where my heart will always lie. The United Forces gave me any opportunities to utilize my abilities, as I heavily enjoy designing ships, such as the Terrasect.
Jenina Weslynes1 [12:51 P.M.]: Why did you join Star fleet?
FltAdmJAHarsting [12:52 P.M.]: Both of my parents were career officers. It was only natural that I followed them to honor their memory.
Jenina Weslynes1 [12:52 P.M.]: What interest and hobbies do you have? and how do they help you in career if at all?
FltAdmJAHarsting [12:55 P.M.]: Well, when I used to have a bit of free time, I used to built models of antiquated vessels. Back home I have a full room of models of engines, ships, the works. I also enjoy outdoor hiking, riding, and rock climbing. The model building helped me in understanding the layouts of ships when I was younger... I've been building models for 30 years! ::He laughed a little::
Jenina Weslynes1 [12:56 P.M.]: Now on a more personal level. Is there someone special out there for you, and do you have any children?
FltAdmJAHarsting [12:58 P.M.]: My wife, Lt. Commander Analasa Sonhi; She's currently stationed on the Aryes. Believe me, I've been half tempted to 'abuse' my power and have her transferred to the Terrasect... I don't get to see her nearly as much as I'd like. We haven't had children yet... maybe once we have more stable lives, it will be a possibility.
Jenina Weslynes1 [12:58 P.M.]: Is there anything you would like the membership to know about you?
FltAdmJAHarsting [1:00 P.M.]: Just that they can come to me anytime with any concerns or comments. Also, I'm the webmaster, so if they would like to see anything on the site, let me know. And more than any of that--- I want everyone to enjoy themselves while in the UF.
Jenina Weslynes1 [1:01 P.M.]: One final question, is there anything you would like added to the United Forces or removed?
FltAdmJAHarsting [1:03 P.M.]: I think not... things always come up from time to time. I enjoy the UF as is.
Jenina Weslynes1 [1:03 P.M.]: Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day.
FltAdmJAHarsting [1:03 P.M.]: You too. ::Smiles::

Trek Humor
Ten Ways to Know That Your Crew Isn't Being Taken Seriously
10) When your captain welcomes the visiting Admiral aboard the ship, the Admiral rolls his eyes and mutters, "Whatever".
9) Tractor beam, medical staff, etc., doesn't arrive until Tuesday.
8) Your first officer requests a ship's counselor (hoping for Cmdr. Troi). Instead he gets a Ferengi who complains about his cousin Galah (sp?) whenever anyone tries to speak.
7) You pull up to spacedock and they won't let you in without the "Secret Password".
6) You explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations, boldly go where no one has gone before ... and nobody cares.
5) When you hang out on Risa, beautiful women in bikinis ignore you.
4) Every day personnel is flooded with requests to be transferred to Klingon cargo vessels.
3) When you look for phasers in the armory, you instead find bananas.
2) Q never visits.
1) You mention resistance and the Borg just laugh.
