Chapter 1: The Klingon Incident and the Tiberius.

AN: Though I enjoy it I am not a hell of a writer, this is the first story I've done in Fan Fiction. I would really imprecate it if you read & reviewed please. I would like you to tell me what mistakes I'm doing in writing, this story should end up really good though. Thanks everyone.

(Picture the Enterprise in that station you see in 'Broken Bow' and 'The Expanse'.)

Captains Star log: November 1st 2154, after succeeding with our mission in the Delphic Expanse we have finally returned home to Earth and Starfleet Command has promised the entire crew that we will get a month of Shore Leave.

(A few Hours after arrival) Captain Archer is in Admiral Forrest' Office, "You wanted to see me Sir?"

"Yes John I did, I wanted to wait after our celebration to you this. Two months ago the Klingons and the Suliban began a war, its still unclear why".

"That will keep Silik off my back for a while."

"There's a situation though, a group of Klingons are stuck on a planet called Krytos II, its closer to Earth than Quo'nos, they were taking out an Suliban military base, but are now stuck there and maybe surrounded by Suliban."

"You don't want us to rescue them do you?"

"I thought I'd let you decide, the Klingon who sent a distress signal to Earth was Captain Klaang, he requests that if Starfleet decides to help them that you should be the one to go."

"He's probably the only Klingon in the Empire that trusts me."

"I spoke to Ambassador Suval, he says if you decide to help the Klingons your head will probably will not be wanted in the Empire no longer."

"If I do this then our relations with the Klingons could be fresh again."

"That's what Starfleet and the Vulcan High Command believe."

"Very well then when will the Enterprise be ready to leave?"

"Actually John, we don't won't you to take the Enterprise, we've being doing a lot of work while you were gone and we won't you to test it out."

"What is it?"

(Starfleet Hanger-14) Archer and Forrest are standing in the doorway of the Hanger and see a big star ship, smaller then the NX under construction by heaps of engineers.

Forrest begins walking towards the ship, "We've got a completed one of these in orbit, and it's called the Tiberius, Starfleet's first battleship".

Archer follows Forrest towards the ship, "Why does Starfleet need a Battleship?"

"The United Earth Government wanted us to build these in case you fail your mission, they wanted these ships in defence.

"You didn't believe we could accomplish our mission?"

"I had full confidence in you and your crew, you know that. We stalled production on the NX-03 and 4, but I'm actually we went on with the project, there's so many hostile species you've met in the past 3 and a half years, plus we can use them for rescue missions right now."

"How did the Vulcan's go to this?"

"They weren't happy and they thought we weren't ready, I agreed at the time, but were both surprised that the project went well."

"Does the ship have a crew yet?"

"Just Engineering and Armoury teams, Oh and Lieutenant Thompson, Security, Armoury and Tactical Officer will be helping you on this mission."

"What's this Thompson like?"

"He was in the Military before he joined Starfleet six years ago, he's the best of the best when it comes to Ship Armoury."

(By now they're both facing each other).
