Romano Trek: Voitor: Prologue

Romano Trek: Voitor: Prologue

1st Point of Divergence - sometime in the past 2 million years.in tectonic

activity in the Pacific region results in more Islands appearing in

Polynesia than in our timeline.

2nd Point of Divergence - 1500 BC approx.the extra islands have copper

(and the other ingredients of bronze) the Polynesians enter the Bronze

Age. This results in a population explosion and the splitting of the

polynesians into many different national groups (a _lot_ more than OTL

anyway)

3rd Point of Divergence - 829 BC

Aliens from another planet arrive and visit the home island of a tribe

known as the Ocampanos. Their technology is destructive to the ecology of

the island and 2 aliens are left behind to care for them.

Through the 2nd Century the Romans make progress on mechanic stuff,

gliders (their equivilent of the transporters), magnetic compasses, adecimal number system and steam computers.

150 AD

A Roman accidentally makes a battery and causes a spark, intreged he

continues to investigate this phenomenon, by the time the Voiter is

launched the Romans had developed the telegrapth, also by this time the

Romans have mastered the use of carrier pidgeons (and some other birds) in

between their ships.

165

A superbeing (for the sake simplicity it is Q [the same Q]) sends the

"Enterprise" somewhere near the coast of OTL Brazil. There the

"Enterprise" encounters a square shaped ship, They are called the Thorg,

made up of people who have been brainwashed into a "collective". After an

attack which kills 14 of the "Enterprise"'s crew members and the Thorg

learning about the Roman Empire Q sends the "Enterprise" back to the

Mediterranian.

166

A Thorg ship destroys a coastal town near the Pillars of Hercules. The

"Enterprise" is sent to investigate, after investigating the destroyed

place they encounter the Thorg ship. They send a message to Romanfleet

Command (for want of a better description of the Roman Navel HQ),

They start amassing an armada near the mouth of the Tiber as the Thorg

ship is heading directly towards Rome. Thorg glide onto the "Enterprise"

and glide back to their ship with the captain.

Later the "Enterprise" attempt to resque him but find he has been

brainwashed into their collective

The Roman officers glide back to the "Enterprise"

Once back the Thorg send a message with the former captain anouncing

himself as "Locutus of Thorg"...

The "Enterprise" fires their Greek Fire type weapon at the Thorg ship but

it fails and they have to persue them towards Italy...

The Thorg ship distroys 39 out of 40 ships and heads up the Tiber with the

"Enterprise" close behind.

Near Rome the "Enterprise" catches the Thorg ship and resques the captainwho is fighting past the brainwashing...

The "Enterprise" through the captains interface tells the Thorg to sleep,

their ship malfunctions and destroys itself.

170

The Romans sign a treaty with the Kazaks with a "Demilitarised Zone" in

the Crimea. Mechanical Doctors are invented.

Propulsion

Highly effective sails and backup rowing systems

Gliding units including underwater systems, Retractable metal sheilds
