Dateline Marque Q7 3197.345
The Venerian Government of Red Rok is recovering from the effects of the kidnapping of the infamous Mayor Ken Deadrock by the notiorious space pirate Flint. A quadrant-wide news blackout was lifted as news of a successful mission by the ESS Agamemnon to recover the missing Mayor and bring the pirate (along with dozens of his associates) to justice. A spokesperson for the Venerian Quadrant Government said “Well, obviously we are grateful to the Earthician Forces for the assistance, but we were about to recover Mayor Deadrock ourselves – it was only a matter of time really.” |
Quadrant 7. Grid 648112. Stardate 3197.332
This was a second encounter for Task Group 7 with the Exterminator menace, the previous one being a skirmish in which the marines from the ESS Agamemnon captured one of the detachable modules of a Exterminator. This time Admiral Burwasher (commanding) had gathered every operational starship with a view to crushing a (hopefully) damaged enemy.
In this battle, the fleet went for a rapid attack, using maximum firepower, especially from the Pacifiers. This was a costly battle, but the end result was the destruction of the enemy in a final volley of nuclear missiles.
