History
The Cerulean Horizon (CNA-95745-JX), captained by Annalise Theroux, has a rich history, enhanced by Theroux's pick up of the ship from the renowned Tethys Shipyards in 2371, a year after its commissioning. Forming her crew soon after, they embarked on various missions across different eras:
- Cargo Hauling Era
- During a critical mission transporting rare medical supplies, the ship encountered an ion storm. Lieutenant Sarah Chen, the navigator, was instrumental in charting a safe course through the tempest. Captain Theroux's decisive actions and Chen's skills ensured the safe delivery of the cargo, showcasing Theroux's ability to lead her crew through perilous situations.
- Courier Era
- In this period, the Horizon was tasked with delivering encrypted intelligence. First Officer Michael Torres led the cryptographic team. When enemy vessels pursued them, Theroux's evasive maneuvers and Torres's quick thinking in deploying countermeasures allowed them to escape unscathed, further reinforcing Theroux's reputation as a resourceful and steadfast leader.
- Personnel Transport Phase
- On a mission transporting high ranking ambassadors, the ship was sabotaged, resulting in life support failures. Chief Engineer Gregory Huang's swift actions averted a catastrophe. Captain Theroux's calm demeanor under pressure and her coordination with Huang ensured the safety and comfort of all passengers, highlighting her exceptional crisis management skills.
- Mixed Operation Period (Post-2385)
- During a complex reconnaissance mission, Science Officer Ensign Laura Brooks detected an anomaly that posed a significant threat. Theroux's strategic decision-making and Brooks's scientific expertise allowed them to gather crucial data while avoiding the anomaly's dangers, exemplifying Theroux's adeptness at balancing risk and reward.
Final Mission (2387)
The final mission of the Cerulean Horizon, captained by Annalise Theroux, was a high-stakes courier assignment. The task: to deliver a small, enigmatic package for a wealthy, influential client. The contents of the package were unknown to the crew, shrouded in secrecy, yet crucial enough to warrant a priority status.
As the Horizon navigated through space, an unknown vessel launched a sudden, aggressive attack. It appeared the attackers had knowledge of the package's significance, hinting at a possible information leak or espionage. The battle that ensued was fierce, with the Horizon's crew fighting valiantly to protect their charge.
In the midst of this chaos, a powerful psychic assault overwhelmed the ship. The crew, unprepared for such an attack, succumbed one by one. Captain Theroux, connected to the ship's main computer via her Neural Interface Gauntlet, managed to use the computer's immense processing power to shield her mind. This act, while saving her consciousness, resulted in her memories of the traumatic event being locked away in the ship's computer core—a choice she made, unable to bear the burden of watching her crew perish.
