(2506) (Y398)
Historical Outcome: As the Four newly bound in fate Brothers fought the manipulators of Delirium and Chaos, they finally managed to isolate the, destroy (or cut off) five-sixths of their ships, and battle the final True Ones and their Illuminati Quorum, leaving them with limited carefully watched -2Xs tech, and being largely confined to the Class L World in the more distant Gamma Quadrant.
This brought the sides closer together, insuring the path to the United Federation of Galaxies

Orion Nicaragua Class Blockade Runner enters at lower right on Turn 3
(2268) (Y160)
Historical Outcome: The Honduras and Skullgrin Helmet of the Steelmoon duelled, the Honduras taking hevay damage and the Griffon taking two minor hite, but getting away, and helping to peck down the D-10, the Nicaragua also helped wear it down, and beamed some auxiliary supplies off the D-10 when it's shields were down; - it's captain, "Skylark" Thomas Gendee was hyper, light and eager to zip around to get supplies and treasure from random, unknown sources, his staple. With only a third of it's crew, and battered engines, but kind of salvagable hull, that could be repaired, and possibly get to Klingon Starbase 2 for more help, it had lost the third time that day, the Imperial Captain of it, Kmirka Vestai Amerex was furious, and soon was assasainated by a Commander from House Subaiesh who commanded a D-11 with weaakened crew near a small mining station, who made a story about an unhinged crew and Lyran pirates, that helped him command that D-10, and then two D-32s over the next thirty years. The Honduras rejoined the Third Fleet, and was soon to be making six small freight runs and return to Earth to be refitted.
Ed Note:
This is to Anton. I'm Fucking surprised he went.
Micro-Campaign: Attack on Starbase 12 (2278)
This Micro-Campaign occurs on October 12th-25th, 2278, and spans 4 Scenarios. I played one with a Carlin Mk III, and it was roughly equal against an L-9B.

October 12th, 2278, the Starship Bozeman has just left Starbase 12 and has begun a patrol of the Typhon Expanse, when it encounters a Klingon Vessel, doing preparatory recon for a Klingon strike on Starbase 12, after forcing it to flee, badly damaged, the Bozeman was lost in a time loop in the region.
Scenario 2
Mk III Carlin (USS Hudson)
L-9B (IKS Voovieh)
October 18th, 2278, the Hudson, detecting some Klingon Warp Signatures near Starbase 12, figures out some kind of assault is imminent, and intercepts an L-9 crewed by Romulan-Fusions, it turning out to be a trap laid to tie up a few nearby Military Command Vessels, the L-9 losing all Engine power and most of it's Superstructure, and captured by crew and marines from the Hudson.

1 Cle Dan

The reduced Klingon Forces ambush Starbase 12, although the warning from the Hudson enabled forces to amass there, destroying the Polag, Oarrunner and Malt-ta, the Darkslayer escaping to perform two small raids on minor, almost forgotten Federation Farming Colonies, and becoming the leader of 2 D-7Rs in the 116th, harassing Federation and Tholian Ships for decades afterward.

2 K-27Es (IKS Black Thunder, IKS Goalkeeper)

The Trusteeship, carrying a full load of Troops, is sent to reclaim Beta Thoridar, as it was taken and reprocessed by True Ones, finding two Light Cruisers guarding it. Both were destroyed, the True Ones on the planet killed by Starfleet Marines, or committing suicide, attempting to misguide some of the reprocessed inhabitants into helping them, and to take hits by Marines.
