Star Trek: Borg Invasion - Construction For War
The Starfleet senior officers of both The USS Enterprise and DS9 sat around the large table in the conference room aboard the station. Included in the discussion from DS9 were, Captain Sisko, Major Kira, Odo, Lieutenant Commader Worf, Ezri Dax, Chief O'Brien and Doctor Bashir. From the Enterprise were Captain Picard, 1st Officer Riker, Lieutenant Commander Data, Lieutenant Lowell, Deanna Troi, Chief Engineer La Forge and Doctor Crusher. They were discussing what to do about the invasion buy the Borg into the Alpha Quadrant.
"It seems as thought The Borg will not be dettered by thier losses at Earth and here. They are setting up 6 construction facilities along the border as we speak, that is if reports are correct. We have to step up our own construction of starships, we suffered heavy losses on both battle fronts, we also lost a number of good Starfleet officers. To counter this attack cadets have been pulled out of Starfleet academy, although they are very nearly ready to be given full postings aboard vessels, they obviously lack combat experience. Once we have built up a fleet large enough we have authorization to launch a full attack on each shipyard. Captain Picard and myself have been given full control of every ship that will not be in defence around Earth."
"Captain" Data spoke up, "If we were to launch an attack , it is highly unlikely that we will succeed with our current arsenal"
"I agree Commander, at this moment every vessel possible is getting thier shield and weapons systems upgradedto be capable of repelling a full on Borg assault. Shields should be increased to 150% efficiancy if Data's, Miles and Geordies estimates are correct. We are trying to increase the rate of fire on all weapons, extra torpedoes will also be placed aboard each ship. In addition small Antimatter mines will be used, they will be programmed to lock on to, and home in on Borg signatures. Although not very powerful by themselves, if multiple mines are used they can cause significant damage to whatever it hits. Engineers are also trying to install Defiant standard pulse phaser launchers aboard a Norway class vessel as a test, they are having problems however, the pulse phaser systems are overloading weapons systems, ships apart from the Defiant were not meant to fire weapons at such a rate. This is why the Defiant class ship is designed specifically for war, the other ships are all for exploration, but they are working on it, if they perfect it on the test ship they will begin installing them on all ships.
"Captain Picard?"
"Yes Number 1"
"Because of the severity of this threat will we be requesting assistance from the Klingons, the Dominion and..... the romulans?"
"General Martok has already informed us that they are will to assist us with whatever we need, however in he case of the Dominion and the Romulans, a transmission has been sent to the Dominion and we are awaiting a response. The Romulans are a different matter altogether, certain Admirals in Starfleet are... reluctant to ask the Romulans for anything, but they have said that if we have no other choice, and if both I and Captain Sisko agree, we are to request thier help."
"Bridge to Captain Sisko"
"Sisko here"
"Captain, we have just recieved word from the Dominion, they say they are coming to our aide immediately, they are to send a large amount of Warships through the wormhole."
"Understood, Sisko Out"
Captain Sisko and Captain Picard got up and walked out on to the bride, all of the senior officers followed them out.
"On Screen" Sisko ordered
On the large monitor at the front of the bridge space appeared, a few seconds later the enormous gate opened up to its full size. The senior officers waited patiently to see what size of force the Dominion would send through to aide them, they would not be disapointed. One by one Dominion Warships emerged from the wormhole and into DS9 space. They all watched in awe as ship after ship flowed out into Federation space. By the end there were about 200 heavily armed Domionion Warships in the space around Bajor.
"Captain, the lead ship is hailing us"
"On screen"
The face of a middle aged Cardassian appeared on the screen, he had a largely fake smile on his face, a lot of the Cardassians did not want to be 'allies' to the Federation, but they were also not eager to break the peace treaty, and they did need all the help they could get if they were to defeat the Borg attack.
"Captain Sisko, we are pleased to come to your aide in this dark time, i have been ordered by my superiors to take orders from the Federation fleet controllers when it comes to battle, i assume that will be yourself and Captain Picard?"
"You assume correct Captain Dulak, with your generous 200 strong fleet you have brought to us, i am sure we will be victorious in our attemp to repel the Borg"
"I wish i shared your optimism Captain, but in previous dealings with the Borg you have been luck to survive against a single Borg cube, and from what i hear they have about 20 cubes at the border, with im sure more being produced, not to mention the smaller crafts they have at thier disposal, the spheres i hear are also relativly dangerous, and i also hear that there is a small ship about the same size as a sphere but in a diamond shape, very strong weapons they have. But im sure under your guidance we have a better than average chance of victory" the last sentance was said in a slightly sarcastic tone
"I'm sure. Captain i suggest you get to work on getting your fleet fully ready, we are wating for reinforcemants but we could go into battle any time, out"
With that the screen went black. Captain Sisko turned to the officers.
"Doctors, i believe we have discussed everything, please resume your duties in the sick-bay, we have lot of wounded"
"Yes sir" they both said in unison
"Data, Miles, Geordie, if you could oversee the upgrades being made to the Norway test vessel that would be a help" They all turned and left
The rest of you i suggest go to your quarters and get some rest" They all turned and headed to thier quarters, including Picard, he was tired after both borg fights. Sisko went to his ready room.
"Captains Log, Stardate 489142.5
After the both successful and non susccessful battle against the Borg we are preparing to go on the offensive. Ships at Starfleet are being produced at a much faster rate than usual, and the newly assigned crewmen fresh out of the academy seem to be ready. The upgrades commencing at Deep Space 9 are underway, they shields have been increased by have on most ships. They engineers have managed to successfully install and run the pulse phasers on the test ship and they are now being installed on as many ships as possible starting with the Enterprise. The Dominion have sent a large fleet to assist us in our struggle, i do not like or trust Captain Dulak, but i have no choice, we must work together if victory is going to be ours. Starfleet has sent an Armada of ships to DS9, these are the latest newly produced ships with the former cadets on board. We have recieved 4 Galaxy class ships, 12 Nebula class, 150 Norway class, 150 Miranda class and best of all 40 Defiant class. Finally on a worse note, i have heard that another 15 Borg cubes and 50 spheres have entered the Alpha quadrant at various points along the border, also 3 of the 6 shipyards are operational, and i'll bet they can produce ships at an alarming rate.... This may be 1 war we may not win.
Log.. ended.
I was not sure if the Borg Diamonds were actually in the Show, but they were in Star Trek Armada and i like them. Please review this and the previous chapter, and give me thoughts and ideas if you feel they are necessary. Thank you.
