Of Ice and Fire

Columbia and crew have a date with destiny when a dangerous foe emerges from the shadows and launches an unprecedented invasion on the Alpha and Beta quadrants...

Mission Description

On the eve of the latest unprecedented crisis to engulf the galaxy, Columbia and crew emerge at the heart of the Federation, having navigated a fraught and dangerous path through areas of space hampered by a strange phenomenon. Tasked with re-establishing contact with the Andor sector, the crew are relieved to find a star system untouched by the chaos raging beyond it. Docking on the outer edge of the system, home to the Andorian Imperial Guard and one of the Federation’s most vital shipbuilding sectors, a familiar face from the XO’s past is thrust into command when an unprecedented and catastrophic attack on Federation space draws ship and crew into a fight for survival.

A Vaadwaur fleet nearly 400 strong emerges from Underspace, striking without warning and without mercy. Within minutes, defences are overwhelmed as local defence forces struggle to muster a response. Starbase 7, home to Starfleet’s local defence group, begins to crumble under the assault.

As the chaos unfolds, Columbia barely escapes destruction, managing to regroup with surviving Starfleet vessels, including Melbourne and the Santa Fe. Assuming command of this makeshift division, the new Captain soon finds himself at the forefront of the Federation counteroffensive…

Massive tractor emitters had been rigged just that [...]

Part 7

USS Columbia: Of Ice and Fire

A biting wind snapped at the young lad’s face as he tore across Andoria’s arctic tundra. Snow violently crunched beneath his feet. Despite a growing tightness he felt in his chest, in his burning lungs, he had to keep going; he had to keep running. Even on such a clear night, the wind was [...]

Part 6

USS Columbia: Of Ice and Fire

Time, ever more fleeting with each passing moment in battle, played on the minds of hundreds of Starfleet officers across the ship. Smoke plumes filled corridors. Raging infernos sealed bulkheads. Conduits collapsed while EPS relays exploded. From the depths of deck 42 to the heights of the bridge [...]

Part 5

USS Columbia: Of Ice and Fire

Under siege and devastated by the massive Vaadwaur assault on the system, Andoria now resembled something of a pyre among the stars. Fire and brimstone rained as Starfleet and the Imperial Guard struggled to mount any kind of defence in the early stages of the enemy onslaught. Armageddon, if you [...]
