Hi all this is my first attempt at a fan fict. I would love some good constructive critism.

In the years following the incident between Picard and Shinzon many things have happen to change the Federation for what some have consider to be harmful. As Starfleet was still rebuilding from the war with the Dominion other non-allied empires decided to take advantage of their weakness. After spending several years trying to put down numerous small fires on the opposite side of the federation things are beginning to calm down.


Chap 1.

Halfway through Lieutenant Smith alpha shift in the research lab his com badge broke the silence. “Lieutenant Smith report to the captain as soon as possible.” Sighing to himself that he would never get done he saved his work on his padd. As he approached the Captain office he wondered what went wrong this time.

Upon hearing the command to enter he walked through the door. There sat the captain facing out the facing studying the ship being built. “Well lieutenant I have some news that is good and bad.” He said and after pausing for a little while he continued. “The good news is your request for transfer came through.” And with that he turned and smiled. “The bad news means that I lose a good officer.” Standing he offered a hand in congratulations. “Sit down and let me tell you where you are going.”

“You are being assigned to 5th fleet 902nd squadron. They are currently rebuilding after their last encounter with a group of small but rather nasty pirates that had salvaged ships and weapons from the various battles.” Sighing he continued, “Command has decided to revamp the structure of the squadron with some new ideas. First the rebuilt squadron is going to consist of one Sovereign, two Intrepids, five Defiants and one mobile station.” “You are being assigned to the USS Jusiter a modified Intrepid. You main purpose will to be liaison between the ship and the first graduating class of marines to enter service.” With that he paused and look at the stricken look on Smith face.

“Sir” Smith begin “With all due respect I have heard about these so called marines.” “I know several people that live near there training bases and they are nothing but problems.” “ They break curfew and causes lots of problems on the town. They can’t follow rules and are very uncivilized.”

“Well lieutenant if you think about what they go through you should understand. They spend almost a year learning to kill in very harsh environments.” He paused and with a look of sorrow on his face. “It’s a sad day when we have to resort to a barbaric method such as those before the federation. But we have no choice.” “And from what I know of their training the only time they seem to cause trouble is when they are not on duty.”

“Sir I see where you are going but I still not quite sure but I’ll do what ever is necessary to get back to the stars.”

“Good lieutenant a ship taking you will be departing tomorrow morning.” Handling a padd to the lieutenant. “Here are the all the specifics you’ll need to see you on the way.”

“Thank you it’s been a pleasure serving with you.” And with that the lieutenant turned and left the office.

Chapter 2 Reflections

That night as Lt. Jacob Smith lie in bed his mind drifted back to over 5 years when this mess all started. While serving as the third officer aboard the USS Titan under then Captain Riker a large problem occurred.

“Sir their coming around for another pass” The helmsman screamed over the sound of exploding panels.

“Target lead ship and fire torpedoes” Riker ordered. At that moment fate stepped in and as the ship shook under enemy fire lights went out and as emergency lighting came on the XO was lying there with a shard of metal through his shoulder. “Medical to the bridge.” Riker shouted and with a sense of dread Smith realized he was now the acting officer.

“Sir we need to get out of here we can’t take much more of this.” Smith yelled over to Riker

“We are not leaving we must protect those two merchants.”

“Sir I don’t like the idea but there are only a small number of people on the ships. Also this is all your fault you insulted their captain and slept with his wife.” With that he pointed out of the view screen at the attacking ships. “Since they are after you they should leave the merchants alone. Why the hell do you think Deanna left you? Because you can’t act like a proper Starfleet officer.”

“Security to the bridge” Riker yelled “Take Smith to his quarters.” And with that turned his attention back to the attacking ship ignoring the pleading looks of his crew. Two minutes later as Smith was being escorted to his room Riker voice came over the intercom. “All hands abandon ship.” And with that Jacob and the security ran down the corridor to the nearest escape pod. As Jacob jumped into the escaped pod a large explosion shook the ship throwing Jacob against the control panel knocking him out.

As Jacob regained conscious he saw that him and the security along with two other were alive. Looking out the window he saw the remains of the Titan drifting dead in space with numerous pods floating around her. One of the enemy ships approached the slowly moving pods and after a short period of time tractored one of the pods. And with that the ship left the area towing the small pod. And of course as Jacob predicted the ships left the merchants alone.

Two weeks later Jacob was sitting at a hearing regarding the incident. “Well Lieutenant Smith according the records Captain Riker before abandoning ships entered into his log about your insubordination and recommended a hearing.” One of the Admirals stated. “While you were right that the incident was Captain Riker’s fault and that they were only after him does help your case. However according to recordings made the last statement regarding his wife was unprofessional. We have decided that this should be a learning experience for you to be more tactful in your manner.”
“As the Titan is to badly damaged to repair she is going to be scraped. And since you have a back ground in engineering and sciences you are being assigned to a research station designing new ships.” And with that the admirals stood and left leaving only admiral Janeway. “Well Lieutenant you remind me of should people I used to work with brash yet a good person. I know the commander of the station of where you are going he’s fair but won’t put up with any crap from you. And I hate to say it but the odds of you getting a assigned to a ship anytime soon is remote.” As she headed for the exit she mentioned at the captain coming through the door. “The captain here has your new orders and good luck.” And with that she disappeared through the door.

Looks good so far, keep up the good work.

Chapter 3 Departure

As Jacob stood waiting in the transporter room waiting for transit to the USS Brasil an Achilles class ship he was talking to a cute redhead he had started to fall in love with in the last few months. “I sorry I have to leave if I had realized that that I would meet you I would not have put for a transfer.”

“I know and I am going to miss you but we both know that it’s the nature of the job.” Megan said trying to not cry. “I’ll miss you.” Jacob noticing that the transporter operator was busy he leaned in close and kissed Megan one final time. “Don’t worry its not like I am being sent on a deep space exploration mission. I am only going to be a few sectors out.”

“Lieutenant the Brasil is signaling they are ready for you.”

“Ok” Jacob stated and as he boarded the pad he looked at the women he loved and said. “I love you.” And disappeared into space.

Upon arriving on the Brasil he saw a young ensign waiting for him.

“Sir if you’ll follow me I’ll take you to your quarters so you store you gear. Then the captain once to see you on the bridge.”

After storing his gear Jacob and the ensign started towards the bridge. “Why does the captain wish to see me I am only a short time passenger.” Jacob asked.

“I am not sure sir” replied the ensign as the turbolift came to a stop and opened on to the bridge. As Jacob stepped out he saw the captain turns toward him. “Well its about time you got your ass back to space Jacob” Matt, Captain Riker former XO, stated. “Lets go” and with that he head to his ready room. “So Jacob I am glad you are getting this chance after the stunt Riker pulled. It’s a shame I was injured and left you in that position. I tried to convince those admirals you did the right thing but you know how admirals can be.”

“Now as our slipstream is down again we have a few days to catch up.”


Two days later as the Brasil entered into the Kimbe system, a small worthless system with no habitable planets Jacob stood staring at the site before him. Floating in the deep darkness of space near a lifeless planet floated outpost 235, a small warp capable repair station. There docked in the bay sat his ship the Jusiter. And as he watched five Defiants swooped through the asteroid belt a tight formation. And as one pulse fire leaped from them and ripped into one of the large asteroids shattering in into small pieces. Following behind camp the Sovereign vaporizing the small asteroids that got to close while flying around the bigger ones.

Impressive he thought this should be an interesting assignment.
