Stardate 1110.26 USS Remillard Captain Bindi McKinnon

Personal log. The Remillard and accompanying fleet is cleared to travel to Tholia under sealed orders. Nobody has ever been to Tholia, and I am leading a fleet there. "Boldly Go" just doesn't cover it, folks...

Stardate 1110.22 USS Remillard Captain Bindi McKinnon

Meetings meetings meetings. Who ever knew launching a starship was so filled with meetings? You'd think it was just a matter of sitting in the chair and saying "engage" or "ahead warp factor one" or "take us out, straight and steady"

Stardate 1110.12 USS Remillard Captain Bindi McKinnon

Kept the captains of all of those ships waiting for ten days, recovering from an infection picked up in Darwin. Now I have to double time it to catch up.

November Calendar Image: "Homestead Class Colony Ship"

 

The Homestead Class Colony Ship is based on a Galaxy-Class frame, but the saucer has had a pre-fabricated city set into it. When the ship reaches a colony, the saucer detaches from the rest of the ship and descends into the atmosphere, finally depositing the colony module at a predetermined location. The saucer then returns to orbit and reattaches to the stardrive. The stardrive section has a single internally-mounted warp nacelle.

Stardate 1110.02 USS Remillard Captain Bindi McKinnon

After waiting almost a week, the Cyclone pod got picked up by a strong cyclone that picked it up and carried it for an hour before throwing it about three kilometers to the west. I was completely protected, and my suit recorded plenty of interesting data. This bodes well for the job I'm told we'll be undertaking in Tholian space. Once I'd made it back into town, I was advised that I'd be meeting with captains of the following heavy cruisers:

USS Port Moresby
USS Matalava
USS Eridanni
USS Alice Springs
USS Endeavor
