USS Endeavour

The Blood-Dimmed Tide

A hunt for knowledge of the lost Tkon Empire brings Endeavour up against enemies old and new...

Mission Description

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

                – ‘The Second Coming,’ William Butler Yeats

 

The bold efforts of Cortez and Airex have saved the refugee world of Teros from the Omega particle. But it came at a heavy price when a ship of the Romulan Star Empire attempted to seize Omega for itself and flee with it. Not only was Captain Rourke forced to order the destruction of the ship Erem, but found his orders refused, first by Chief Tactical Officer Lieutenant Kharth, then by Officer of the Watch Lieutenant Rhade. Torpedoes were ultimately fired by XO Commander Valance, Kharth and Rhade confined in the brig, and Captain Rourke’s actions were backed by Fourth Fleet Command under the Omega Directive – but the damage has been significant.

Worse, the Omega crisis has forced Endeavour to leave Teros, abandoning the humanitarian mission the outbreak interrupted. Furious locals, betrayed by Starfleet again, became an angry mob pinning down an engineering team trying to leave – and as violence broke out, Chief Helm Officer Lieutenant Drake was tragically killed. With Rhade and Kharth in the brig, Drake dead, and Commander Airex’s transfer finally coming through as he joins Admiral Beckett’s staff, Endeavour is facing not just a crisis of galactic proportions, but a crisis of staff and conscience.

And with the technology of the ancient Tkon Empire believed responsible for the Omega crisis, there is no time to recover as a hunt for knowledge begins…

Looks Like an Intervention

USS Endeavour: The Blood-Dimmed Tide

The sheer amount of music in the Starfleet databanks was a source of gentle bewilderment to Dathan. It was such a simple thing to gather a collection of pleasing sounds, but each and every piece she listened to was a snapshot of a culture. Far beyond her reach by time or space, flicking through the [...]

Spitting it Out

USS Endeavour: The Blood-Dimmed Tide

At a glance, Qualor II and Jhorkesh were not so different. Streets boasted that same kaleidoscope of coloured lights reflecting off brushed metal walls and signs, the same bursting diversity of faces from different worlds, species, cultures. But Jhorkesh was a cramped trade hub in the Neutral Zone, [...]

Slugging Match

USS Endeavour: The Blood-Dimmed Tide

‘Go!’ Rifle to his shoulder, Rhade laid down suppressive fire as T’Kalla and Shikar broke across the open courtyard to the next point of cover. Kharth and her team had secured the main compound, recovered Captain Rourke, and were holding steady, but they hadn’t yet broken through the [...]

Throwing Out Protocol

USS Endeavour: The Blood-Dimmed Tide

It was not the first time she had been trapped in a small, dark room, without knowing when or if she’d ever be let out. At first, Dathan had sat still and quiet on the floor, intent she would not give her Romulan captors the satisfaction of seeing her sweat. She had been trained for this, because [...]
