Doin' the Time Warp

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is my privilege and honor to announce that, as of 20 November 2010, we will officially be starting our next mission. "Confusion in the Cluster" is sort of a return-to-basics mission for us in many ways. It is based on the first mission I ever conducted aboard the Tethys and will help to foreshadow the introduction of our new Fleet Story Arc. What's more, it will allow us to get away from all of the transition stuff and finally strike out on a mission of exploration (read investigation here) as the crew of the USS Pandora.

Five months after the conclusion of a Board of Inquiry convened to assess Iluvar's command ability, the effects of that ruling have continued to have an impact on both ship and crew. They have shuffled from one seemingly mundane assignment to another and cannot help but feel as if Starfleet Command has pushed them to the edge of the picture. A crew once known for their role in leading the defense against Elyshan aggression had become infamous and nearly forgotten. Where people once spoke of the heroes of Altorus, whispered rumors now dwelt. The crew of the Pandora needed a chance to redeem themselves in the eyes of Starfleet...

Now the USS Pandora finds herself on the outermost edges of the Black Cluster, a region of space located near the Breen Confederacy and known for its volatile anomalies. Captain Iluvar had been in this region of space before, while in command of the USS Tethys two years prior. Reports of mysterious attacks on merchant shipping have once again begun to increase and Starfleet Command needed answers. They dispatched the USS Pandora to investigate the matter, determine the source of these raids, and put a stop to them if possible.

Keep an eye on the main website, the mission discussion thread, and the mission wiki page for updates regarding our assignment. We are also pleased to officially welcome aboard Lieutenant Commander Joseph Thompson as our new Chief Security/Tactical Officer and congratulate Commander Fala Awen on her promotion to Executive Officer.

If anyone has any questions, comments, or concerns regarding this mission or the five month interlude, please do not hesitate to contact me via email or private message. I will be more than happy to help in any way that I can.

Respectfully,

Captain Iluvar
Commanding Officer
USS Pandora
