Day of infamy

Description

Captain's starlog, May 20, 2156. We have arrived at the Algeron system in the wake of the Romulan onslaught on Starbase One. I have ordered Travis to maintain the lowest sustainable orbit for maximal sensor resolution. Initial assessment ongoing. All facilities and other planetside assets destroyed. Survivors... none...



I chose the title based upon President Roosevelt's speech on Pearl Harbor. I consider the Starbase One attack Star Trek's equivalent to Pearl Harbor, as much as the Xindi attack was an analogy for 9/11. The consequences are similar as well: United Earth will declare war upon the Romulans in a matter of says, leading to the greatest conflict of known space, surpassed only by the devastating Dominion War three generations later.

An awesome sunrise and use of the refit, though I prefer the original. Did you do one like this using the INTREPID Class and the shuttlepod. I think it was called "Low Altitude Manuvers" or was it High Altitude. Memory fades. Great work and best of luck in your future endeavors.
