From Solas Tempus DB

Certainly, Mr. Hagar. I've swapped all references to the USS Reed and USS Rising Sun in the text as per your request:

Ships Assigned
USS Reed (NCC-465) and USS Rising Sun (NCC-491)

The USS Reed was lost and the USS Rising Sun was too badly damaged for repairs. Of the 400 personnel, 224 survived, making the operation one of the most costly in the history of Solas Tempus.

Origin

The wave originated from London, England, Earth, in the year 2048 during Earth's 3rd World War. Specific date of March 22nd, 2048.

Synopsis

Temporal wave was detected by the USS Reed on April 2nd, 2368, at 0348 hours. This was a high-level wave causing temporal shielding to initially buckle. Enough interference was generated along the timeline to make pinpointing the epicenter difficult for the first 4 hours.

Because of difficulty in pinpointing required information to a targeted incursion, the USS Reed contacted the USS Rising Sun for assistance at 0822 hours that same day. Collaboration between Admiral Lance Thomas on the USS Reed and Captain Alice Ellery of the USS Rising Sun led to the conclusion that a joint effort was required to resolve a disturbance large enough to create a wave of the size detected.

Mission Start

April 2nd, 2368

  • 1612 the USS Reed and the USS Rising Sun utilized the T.D.E. to jump approximately 1 lightyear away from Earth on March 3rd, 2048, perpendicular to the solar system elliptical plane to avoid detection.

March 3rd, 2048

  • 0722 both ships arrive at their target time safely.

Integrity warning, data inconsistencies detected, unable to retrieve data from file.

Emergency Declared

March 20th, 2048

  • 2341 the USS Rising Sun declared an emergency and attempted further communication with the USS Reed without success.
    • USS Reed was heavily damaged, and her two shuttlecraft had already been deployed with as many crew as could be contained.
    • USS Rising Sun was able to retrieve the two craft.

March 23rd, 2048

  • 0015 the USS Reed was found drifting with massive hull damage and venting atmosphere.
    • Of the detected 125 remaining crew, 47 were beamed away, including her Captain, against the previous orders of Admiral Thomas.

Sensors detected that the warp core of the USS Reed was nearly in full breach and that the containment field would soon fail. A second attempt to beam her crew back was attempted resulting in another 15 crew being recovered before the ship was lost with all remaining hands. The survivors were heavily wounded and unable to be questioned immediately, per Dr. Reigha's orders.

Attack on USS Rising Sun

  • 0034 the USS Rising Sun was engaged by an unknown hostile force, taking heavy damage to the ship's power systems and weapons.
  • 0041 the USS Rising Sun was unable to return fire and was in full retreat, seeking a place to hide from attack long enough to jump back to its time of origin.
  • 0201 the USS Rising Sun was able to elude pursuit long enough to utilize T.D.E. to return to its point of departure.
    • Although the USS Reed and most of her crew were lost, the mission objectives were completed, and the remaining temporal deviation was well within acceptable limits.

Aftermath

Admiral Lance Thomas gave a commendation to Captain Alice Ellery following the mission, in addition to a full promotion to the crew of the USS Rising Sun, except himself, including the survivors from the Reed.

The USS Reed suffered heavy damage to its power systems, outer and inner hull, as well as its internal space frame. The Engineers determined that her space frame was too badly damaged for effective repair.
