Captain Kellin Mox USS Stalwart NCC-91022 Zeta Andromeda Sector 9 LY Outside Oradhe System
Captain’s Log Supplemental
We were separated from the rest of the patrol group following the raid on the True Way shipyard. The other escorts, Revere, Zephyr, and Hercules, managed to escape pursuit into the atmosphere of a nearby gas giant. However, we sustained heavy damage to our port side hull and Science Officer Ramirez warned against entering such a volatile atmosphere—where our shields would be ineffective—with such massive hull breaches. Deck Two is completely uninhabitable, and we’ve lost warp drive. Fortunately, the cloaking system is intact and we were able to evade True Way patrols, despite being separated from the other Starfleet ships. Prior to cloaking, we sent out a coded distress signal, and we’re heading at full impulse to rendezvous with the USS Churchill, the nearest available starship, who will tow us back to Deep Space Nine. However, at full impulse, we won’t reach the Churchill’s position for another two days.

Captain Kellin Mox Deep Space Nine
Captain’s Personal Log
We’ve arrived safely back at Deep Space Nine, following a tractor tow by the Churchill. The journey was two days, keeping subspace silence and using minimal power so as to remain completely undetected. We nearly lost the cloak twice. True Way warships are everywhere. I fell asleep on a chair in the station’s medbay, watching as four of my crewmembers were in and out of surgery. It was the first time I’d slept since departing on patrol three days ago.
We’re still getting repair estimates for the Stalwart, but it looks like it will be a while. I suspect I’ll spend a good portion of time with Starfleet Intelligence here on the station anyway. They’ll want to know why a raid on a supposedly lightly defended spacedock was met with such heavy and organized enemy contact. Perhaps our intelligence sources are ineffective—or worse. It’s double frustrating, as this was supposed to be temporary combat patrol duty while we awaited new permanent orders with the 146th. I suspect Admiral Martin won’t be too pleased. I’m more worried about the other three ships that left with us. It’s been too long. This could mean a new True Way offensive in this sector block, which is probably the last thing Starfleet needs with resources spread so thin.

Captain Kellin Mox USS Stalwart NCC-91022-A Starbase 146
Captain’s Personal Log, Stardate 85929.52
We’re departing Starbase 146 following resupply, en route to join Starfleet task force at Jarkonis. Mission unknown. Frankly, the high level mission and secrecy is a welcome bit of excitement that I hope will take my mind off some personal matters that have come up recently.
My father announced his intent to run in next year’s Federation presidential election. I spent most of my youth as the son of a Federation Councilor, with my father serving in galactic politics for nearly 30 years. But it’s different now that I’m a starship captain. I feel that all eyes are now on me. It was hard to keep any sort of low profile on the homeworld, already known as the “youngest Bolian to ever make captain.” Now, I expect that title will be seen over and over again in Federation News Service articles and quotes from my father’s campaign.
No doubt, there were favors and interests involved in my Defiant-class Stalwart being decommissioned and me being assigned the new Avenger-class battle cruiser—also coincidentally named Stalwart-A, two days after my father’s press conference. I feel like this is an unworthy gift. These top-line starships are reserved for the finest and most seasoned captains in the fleet. The Stalwart-A is only the second of its class launched. There’s no other reason why I should have been given this command. I doubt there’s a cloaking device that’s ever been built that can hide me from this kind of attention.
Worse, this immediately affected my relationship with Sierra. Naturally, she doesn’t want any of this attention brought on her either. After all she’s been through, who could blame her? Now, our relationship is as cloudy as a nebula. There’s always been uncertainty, but it was the fun and exciting kind. Now, I wouldn’t be surprised if it all ended the next time I see her. I suppose it’s fortunate that our deployment to Jarkonis will keep us subspace silent for at least six days. She’s just as busy on the Excerion as I am commanding the Stalwart, but maybe the separation will bring about clarity or some insight as to how we can continue to see each other while also allowing her to live her life.

USS Stalwart NCC-91022-A Starbase 146
Captain’s Log, Stardate 90109.3
With repairs complete, we’re preparing to get underway. The crew is eager to leave and ready to bring the fight to the enemy. The defeat at Jarkonis was hard to hear about, made worse by the fact that we were still patching up the Stalwart from damage sustained during the raid on the True Way prison base in the Badlands.
Recent…developments in my personal life have allowed me to refocus on not only my command, but my additional duties as Admiral Martin’s tactical advisor. I feel as though we’ve grown complacent—reassured of our military might and comfortable overall tactical situation from all the recent victories and relative safety within our borders. Obviously, we can no longer afford that comfort or complacency. I’ve been preparing a series of briefs on Klingon warship tactics for the 146th. Many of the starship commanders are new or command survey or science vessels that have been doing primarily non-combat duty. With the renewed focus on defense, these vessels have been reassigned to defense fleets such as the 146th. As one of the most combat-experienced captains, I feel it’s an obligation to assist where I can.
On that note, Commander Sito received orders to his first command, the USS Dragon. The Zephyr-class ship is an excellent first command for him, and I feel that a promotion to captain isn’t far off. He’s done an exceptional job as First Officer since we lost Tuvala last year, and Starfleet needs officers like him commanding starships on the Front. It’s how I got the captain’s chair, after all.
We’ll receive our new First Officer before departing 146. Commander Tovek comes highly recommended. He’s one of the top astrophysics officers in Starfleet and just finished a six-month deployment as Science Officer aboard the Copernicus. He was probably in line for a command of his own, but—judging by his career history—it appears as though Starfleet felt he needed more combat experience, given the situation the Federation finds itself in these days. I look forward to getting to know him. Frankly, I think the calm and calculated logic of a Vulcan is something I need right now.

USS Stalwart NCC 91022-A
Captain’s Log Supplemental
We’ve completed our first mission with Task Force Omega, providing relief to Federation and allied colonies ravaged by Borg attacks in the B’Tran Cluster. Despite the increased danger and the losses the allied fleet here has already faced, the crew is eager and was pleased to hear that the Stalwart heeded the call for volunteer ships for this renewed offensive.
For me, the reassignment was a renewed focus on my command. For the past few months, my personal life has been a cosmic maelstrom. My father’s high-profile Federation presidential campaign and its fallout took my mind of the captain’s chair. Exiting Deep Space Nine’s airlock to a crowd of FNN reporters was not what I wanted to do every day after returning from a combat patrol. Here, there’s none of that. There’s only the Borg and the mission.
We’re en route to a rendezvous with the USS Narendra and the quick response battle group at Cestus V to begin conducting raids on Borg targets in that system.
