[USS Chimera] SD 240907.22 || Padassa Log || Major Kinn ||

[Padassa Station]

The sovereign class USS MacArthur, the akira class USS Patton, and the defiant class USS Bonaparte of Admiral LeGrand's fleet dropped out of warp at Padassa station with the phasers charged on full. They arrived to find themselves in the middle of a heated exchange already occurring between Klingon and Romulan forces. 

"Three Klingon vessels engaging five Romulan targets!" The bolian science chief called to the Captain of the MacArthur - an elderly andorian gentleman named Vishas.

Vishas' antennae piqued in interest as he surveyed the scene unfolding on the viewscreen. "Take us on a course bearing 050 mark 045. Half impulse. Arm dorsal phasers - narrow beam. Target shield generators." Vishas ordered. "If we can bring down their shields our Klingon friend's disruptors will be all the more deadly."

"Aye!" Tactical confirmed the orders, and forwarded his captain's commands to the rest of the flotilla.

"Comm, get Major Kinn on the line." Vishas said.

Major Giellera Kinn was standing in the Operations Center of the trading station, arguing heatedly with a Klingon male almost twice her size. The station had been almost fully secured from the Romulans with the help of the prisoners, the newly arrived Klingons and the Quorum-based Anx Rebel Alliance that had covertly infiltrated the station. 

Aside from a few sabotage attempts here and there (including the last minute destruction of two of the three docking pylons by Harker's remaining followers), they had succeeded in taking the station from Romulan hands. Now with all hope the Klingon cruisers would be able to keep it that way until more reinforcements could arrive.

"Major, a task group of three Federation ships just dropped into the system," Corporal Waters interrupted her. "The Captain of the MacArthur wants to speak to you."


"One minute," she said firmly to the Klingon in front of her, who seemed less than pleased. She followed Waters to the terminal where the audio transmission was being relayed. "Captain, Major Kinn here. It's good to speak to you."

+Good to hear from you too, Major. What news do you have?+ Kinn could here the busied sounds of a bridge engaged in combat operations on the other end of the line.


"There are a few hostiles still loose on the station, but we've taken it from the Romulans," she reported. "We have full control."

+Excellent.+ Vishas replied. +How are the station's tactical systems? Are they operational?+


"The shields are holding, but I'm afraid the Romulans have managed to sabotage the weapons systems," Giellera replied, looking back at a station where a group of people were frantically trying to sort out the weapons program. "I have some people working on it, but I can't guarantee anything."

+Do your bet, Major. Vishas out.+

"Aye, sir," Kinn replied, but the comm was already closed. Relieved that reinforcements had arrived, she turned back to her Klingon friend.

-

Vishas tapped on his armrest a set of target parameters, and forwarded them to tactical. "Forward these coordinates to the flotilla and fire on my command. The Andorian told the tactical officer. "And send it to the Klingons as well."

"Aye sir." The officer answered. "The fleet is acknowledging."

"Fire!"

The battle didn't last long. One by one, the Federation ships tore down he shields of their Romulan opponents - opening them to a deadly disruptor barrage from their Klingon counterparts. Working in tandem, the Klingon forces and the Federations ships eaily outmaneuvered the Romulan occupiers of Paddassa station. Within half an hour, Padassa was in allied hands.
