 I see my first actions as Captain of the Battle Destroyer Bonecrusher  at one of our Battle Stations on the border with the Romulans. Our force is depleted, but nevertheless we will do our best - of course; our local base commander has engaged the services of several Orion mercenaries to try to even the odds. The relative deployments work well for our squadron as we make short work of several smaller Romulan vessels, from the looks of them a Seahawk Frigate and a couple of older Snipes.

They field a full CVA group, which is countered by our own Superhawk-B Heavy Carrier. Fortunately for us, we are stationed on the port wing of the overall formati...
