The Last Outpost

After the USS Relentless was struck by a subspace fracture in 2383, moments before arriving at Asteroid Base: Alpha for the very first time, the forces of the Accobar System throughout it's history banded together to deal with the subspace rift which had fractured the asteroid field across space-time. Before the reunion got under-way, there was time for the former supervisors of the Accobar System to meet the new guard - including a meeting between the Etis sisters, past and present. Daniel Thrace departed to an unknown location to monitor the situation and dish out advice remotely. When a plan was in place, to reactivate the Accobar device and force the rift open, a call was sent out across time - to call for aid. Sure enough, Accobar responded.

- Mark Chaplain, commanding the USS Hera
- Torvek, commanding the USS Athena
- Abigail Watson and Sion Bryn, commanding a later Athena
- James Robertson, commanding the alternate Relentless [with Chief Tactical Officer George Kim & Chief Science Officer Michael Bennett]
- Nate Janeway, commanding the USS Defiant [with Chief Tactical Officer Thohu]
- William Quy, commanding the USS Guardian [with Chief Tactical Officer Rick Raptor & Chief Science Officer Kell Perim]
- Amber Munro and Walter Peirce, commanding the prime USS Relentless [with Chief Tactical Officer James Brooklaw]

Along with allies from the past and alternate realities, known adversaries to have gained control of the Accobar System also ventured through to investigate. These included Romulan fighters for Subcommander Sel'tar [New AB Season 1], Ban'mar cruisers under General Bartog [Old AB Season 3] and Hirogen warships [Old AB Season 5]. For a few incredible minutes, the Accobar System was host to all of it's watchers - friend and foe. However, the skirmish followed proved beneficial, as it bought Pioneer enough time to bring the Accobar III device online and open the rift. The Starfleet Commanders briefly acknowledged eachother's efforts and returned through - seemingly unlikely to remember the events that unfolded. The Relentless followed - and Pioneer was left to deal with sending the disabled adversaries back through to their own times - before the rift would be destabilised.

At least... that was the plan. After all... we never found out if it succeeded. But back in 2383, the Relentless arrived at the Accobar System once more, and despite residual polaric radiation, there was no evidence that anything had even gone wrong. No evidence of the subspace rift. The story started all over again...

Despite a train wreck of a 24 hour period when it came to returnees pulling out, I thank you all deeply for attending. Even you, Klaw - for that first scene, at least!  :P It was a stressful few hours of tweaking - so all of your feedback is even more appreciated than ever. So, as ever, you know what to do! Rate and discuss, above and below!

I wish I could have stayed - but I was having all kinds of trouble getting on the map :(

I always like these kinds of episodes. Even though we missed out on people who should have been there, the story was still told. I also quite enjoyed myself balancing between two characters again. I missed a bit of music at the beginning of the episode, but that being the only minus to this episode, i still rate it excellent.

This was glorious (Although that wasn't an option on the vote, so I voted excellent).
