Captain's Log: CSS Leviathan

Begin Entry -

Captain James T. Rourke reporting.

While on the Leviathan's shakedown cruise, we encountered a small vessel with an signature reading "Hidden Pineapple" from a faction that is unknown to us. The "Phoenix Command Group"

Our scans indicated that their engines were shot, and there was damage to their shielding systems as well as their hull. I quickly authorized contact and had our comms officer hail them. However, before they were able to respond a massive ship dropped out of warp behind them. It's scans matched what we had in our systems as a Borg craft, though the ship classification was unknown to us.

Realizing that the smaller craft was clearly outmatched by the Borg craft, I sent an SOS to the Commonwealth fleet and gave the order to engage the Borg. However, before we were able to charge our mass drivers, a massive ship, larger than any recorded in our database, appeared with a few mighty blasts from its energy based weapons, quickly dispatched the Borg craft.

It appears that the new ship which is reading as the "Arondite", another Phoenix Command Group ship, is hailing us as well. I don't know what lies ahead for us and our relationship with this "Phoenix Command Group" is, but here, in this desolate region of space, the future of the Commonwealth of Humana Terra begins.

Spoiler:

Between the names, the ships, and everything else, this feels very much like an "alternate humanity", albeit centuries behind current technology. I'm slightly surprised such a low-tech civilization would have knowledge of the Borg - perhaps the Commonwealth has detected or encountered the Borg before, but their technological state makes them non-desirable targets for assimilation?

There's no telling what will happen to their civilization now that they've had first contact with a space-faring superpower - and though they may seem small and dated, there's no telling how the Commonwealth will factor into the greater scheme of things. Interested to see what happens.

@ S-H - They're more like an alternate humanity than you know. ;D There's a reason why they know about the Borg. All will be revealed in the coming days.

^^^^ Pretty much what S-H said.

personally, I've always been a tad peeved how everyone is so similar to humans, but I get the feeling you're going somewhere special with this, so I'll withhold judgment for now.

I really just want to blurt out everything or just upload everything in one shot... but I want it to be a little more special than that.

Double post I know, yada yada, I'm actually locking this topic and in all probability deleting it, I just realized I had created a separate topic instead of making a new post like I intended. From now on, any updates will be located in the first message of the "History of the Commonwealth of Humana Terra" topic.
