Here we are, all together again and ready to kick butt. Well, at least parody some. But it's not the butt you think. Please bear with us as we make a huge turn and scare a few folks. Now what does that all mean? Like I'm going to tell you that....

With almost everyone at Hargh and cross-linked through Endors Game, things now get messy. These cross-ship links are always hard to do, which is why I am going to try and get through this final part as fast as I can. By the time of the next fleet report, the fleetwide should be over. Notice the use of the word "should", as while I fully expect to be done quite soon, I am not going to rule out unexpected disasters (at least those disasters that I am not responsible for).

The Montgomery and Columbus arrived in the Mu Iota system, but not in time to do anything to stop Vader from using his ship to destroy the Mu Iota star. His "Star Destroyer" jumped out of the system with some sort of transwarp or inter-dimentional drive, while the star itself went nova in a really neato-cool display of colors. The Asimov, Montgomery, and Columbus had just enough time to beam about a thousand people off of the surface of Mu Iota II before warping out; a thousand out of some four or five thousand on the surface. They met up with the flagship of the Fett Sect, who were highly uncooperative. Captain Duval, however, one of the Fett survivors, defied his leaders and explained to the Asimov and company what was going on. The Fett did indeed have a pair of Force Generators, purchased from the Awaj. One was on Mu Iota II, which Vader demanded be turned over to him. When the Fett refused, he blew them to smithereenes. The other is at their secret facility.... on Hargh.

The Alliance away team had learned the same thing; the Fett Sect was on Hargh, and had a secret underground lair where they had several small vessels, and probably a Force Generator. The away team snuck into the secret lair with their Yuki comrades, incapacitated the one inept guard, and rescued Toobits and Falcon captain Lars Ono. Their next move is to locate the Force Generator and disable it. In orbit, meanwhile, the Alliance witnessed the arrival of the few surviving ships from Mu Iota II, who had come straight to Hargh. Yuki orbital control granted them entrance to the system immediately, which set off dozens of red flags, but before that part could be figured out another vessel entered the system; Vader's Star Destroyer. The Alliance sent a distress signal to the rest of the fleet, who have now joined them at Hargh.

Now, it gets messy.

Posting is back to a steady level, as we head into the final stages of the fleetwide. The quality is on par with what I expect from the crew, so all in all we are looking good in that regard, and I forsee a great deal of action heading our way as the sim grows to, no doubt, an explosive conclusion.

Kudos has to go to the entire crew, who make the Asimov a great place to roleplay, and this report would be longer than usual if I listed them all ;-) Nearly everyone is back off LOA, AWOLs are few and far between, and I've got no complaints. All in all a great month.

The Ship: Posting over the month has had its ups and downs as usual. Overall it is generally slow. I anticipate this to change this coming month with the end of summer and the beginning of school once again. The roster is currently a bit lite which I will also be working on.

The Crew: Overall, the crew is a fine example of what a captain would want to have. Other than the occaisional disappearance of a junior officer, which is commonplace within the club, not much problem exists in this area.

Recommendations: At this time, I'm still relatively new to the ship and not yet ready to make recommendations.

Comments: The Monty is a great ship and I am honored to be serving as her CO.

The starbase has slowed down a little. The two main sub-plots were the presence of the ‘Council’, a mysterious body of venerable old chaps somehow connected with the Palpatine sect, and the presence of some less amenable terrorists. Both of these have now departed, and Lt.-Cmdr. Yim commands the station, where, at present, little is happening. However, everyone, I think, has been very involved and they do deserve a bit of a rest! After the wind-down of the sim and the party, I hope the starbase crew will be regenerated and well able to face a new mission.

I have been very impressed with Ensign Dan Ceo, who has arrived aboard as a Security Officer. He has been eager to post and always posts of the highest quality, and isn’t afraid to say what he thinks. An officer who will, when given some more time, be ripe for appointment as a department head, and should, with proper experience, have the potential for command.
