[Provisional RPG] Aftermath

[La Forge]

The year is 2375. The devastating Dominion War has finally come to an end, with the signing of the Treaty of Bajor. Peace reigns through the Alpha Quadrant, as reconstruction begins.

The Federation reels after their losses in the Dominion War, both man and machine alike. A corrupt President sits at the head of the shady Federation government. Corrupt government officials control the President and the rest of the government, as if a puppet, while a shady organization, known simply as Section 31, operates from behind the scenes, cleaning up the mess of the Dominion War...

The Klingon Empire is in ruins, at the war's end. Civil unrest has run rampant. The now Chancellor Martok takes control of an empire in shambles. Entire Houses have fallen, while others, who were against the Dominion War, ready to take control of the powerless government. Civil war is on the horizon.

The Romulan Star Empire has retreated into the shadows, licking its wounds, all the while. The Tal Shiar controls the empire from the shadows, as reconstruction of the empire continues. Little else is known.

Bajor thrives, with the war at an end. With a booming economy and a thriving population, things are on the up and up in the land of the Prophets, all the while their Emissary watching from above, in the Celestial Temple.

Cardassia has fallen apart. The Federation, Klingons, Bajorans, and others have carved up the remnants of the ruined Cardassian Union. With Garak as their leader, reconstruction after the war and the horrendous Dominion genocide on Cardassia Prime and abroad goes on, with aid from the Federation and Bajorans.

The Dominion has retreated back into the Gamma Quadrant, with Odo as their leader. Contact with the Gamma Quadrant has been cut off and to anyone's knowledge, the Dominion, with help from Odo, were beginning to reform. However, nothing is always as it seems with the Dominion...

The silence after the storm, as it were. However, for some, things were just beginning. In the Battle of Betazed, the U.S.S. Detroit, an Excelsior-class vessel, was destroyed. The survivors were captured by the Dominion and shipped to Internment Camp 201, to live through the remainder of the war in painful solitude, under the watchful eyes of the Jem'Hadar. Now, with the Treaty of Bajor in effect, all Federation prisoners must be released, including the survivors of the Detroit. Now, these prisoners who had been confined to the internment camp for the entire war, are released back into the real world. It looked as if an end to all of their troubles was at hand. However, in reality, it was just the beginning...

This is the aftermath of the Dominion War, told through through the eyes of the survivors of the Detroit. Corruption, murder, espionage, and everything imaginable awaits them...in the Aftermath of the greatest war in Alpha Quadrant history...

Biography: Born April 11 in Cairo, Egypt, on the planet Earth to Jonathan and Jasmine Lysander. Jonathan was a native of the United Kingdom while Charlotte was a native to Egypt. Jonathan, an archaelogist, had met Jasmine during one of his trips to Egypt, where she was employed as his assistant. Eventually, the two fell in love and were married, only to go on to have Gregory two years later. Gregory spent most of his life travelling with his parents, as the family traveled across the planet and abroad. After all, his parents were archaelogists and would go wherever there was anything to be found. Gregory was home-schooled by his mother. The young boy gained a British accent, from his father. Both of his parents, who were scientists and skeptics, were atheists, as was Gregory. By the age of twelve, Gregory had traveled all across Earth and the rest of the Sol System, visited Vulcan, Tellar, Andoria, and Bajor, among others. Gregory was a well-traveled young man. By the age of sixteen, while at a family reunion back on Earth, Gregory met his uncle on his father's side, James Lysander, a Rear-Admiral in Starfleet. His uncle became a role-model to the young man and Gregory longed to join Starfleet. Gregory, a well-traveled young man who had his fair share of adventure in his life, wished to put his experiences in the galaxy to good use, by joining Starfleet. Adventure, honor, duty, and all of those good things were his motivation for joining the organization. His father had some reservations about joining Starfleet, however, eventually, allowed Gregory to join. Gregory was accepted into Starfleet Academy and grew to be an exceptional student, with high marks in all of his classes. In the end, Gregory graduated from the Academy with honors, in the engineering field. Gregory served on various vessels, his first being the U.S.S. New York. During his time on the New York, Gregory met the woman who would eventually become his wife, Isabelle Vaugier, a young nurse, at the time. The two hit it off and were married, two years later. The two attempted at having children, however, it resulted in a miscarriage. In the end, the two decided against it, due to the challenge involved in raising children, in Starfleet. Eventually, at the age of thirty seven and with the rank of Lieutenant Commander, Gregory was assigned to the U.S.S. Detroit, a refit Excelsior-class vessel, as Chief Engineer. Isabelle, however, had been temporarily re-assigned to a Earth, separating the two, with the Dominion War and all. The two remained in constant contact, which was difficult with the war raging on and all. However, as time went on, as it always does in long-distance relationships, contact between the two waned. Gregory served on the Detroit through the beginning of the Dominion War, stationed by Betazed, until the Detroit was destroyed in the Battle of Betazed. Gregory was one of the few survivors of the Detroit who had been captured by the Dominion to spend the next year and a half of his life trapped in Internment Camp 201, a Dominion prison camp on a desolate asteroid in the middle of nowhere. Gregory and his fellow survivors were eventually released, at the end of the war, with the signing of the Treaty of Bajor. Currently, Gregory and his surviving comrades are en route to Earth, where each of them are to receive medals for their service in the Dominion War. However, Gregory only longs to see his wife, after spending a year and a half rotting away in a Dominion prison. Little does Gregory know of the suprises in store for him, both political and personal, back home...on Earth.

Biography: Isabelle Vaugier was born in Nice, France, on Earth, in 2341, to French parents Guy and Juliana Vaugier. Her parents had moved to Quebec, Canada while Isabelle was only a baby, so, Isabelle grew up there, instead. However, her parents had made sure to teach Isabelle of her heritage, as she was growing up. She was taught French and of French history, by her mother, who was a history teacher and amateur archaeologist. Her father was a medical officer in Starfleet, the head of the neurology division of Starfleet Medical and recepient of the prestigious Carrington Award. With her father as her role model and a major influence in her life, at the age of seventeen, Isabelle decided to join Starfleet, in the field of medicine. With previous training from her father, she breezed on through the Academy, earning top marks, eventually graduating as valedvictorian of her class. However, only a week after her graduation, her father had died of a rare neural disease, irony at its worst. Isabelle was granted some leave, to deal with her father. She went through a brief bout of depression, however, with some help from a friend of the family, a counselor, Isabelle managed to pull through. Her mother, however, could never cope with the loss of her husband and eventually committed suicide, three years later. Meanwhile, Isabelle had been assigned to the U.S.S. New York, as a lowly nurse, where she moved up on through the medical hierarchy, to become the Assistant Chief Medical Officer four years later. During this time, she met her future husband, Gregory Lysander. The two hit it off and eventually married, several years later. The two were both reassigned to Starbase 231, where Gregory served as Chief Engineer and Isabelle the Assistant Chief Medical Officer. During their tenure on Starbase 231, the couple had attempted at having children, unsuccesfully. In the end, Isabelle had suffered a miscarriage and the two gave up their hopes for a children. This left an emotional scar on Isabelle's already scarred heart, which remains there to this day. Eventually, with the start of the Dominion War, Gregory had been re-assigned to the U.S.S. Detroit, as the Chief Engineer, while Isabelle had been assigned to Earth. Starfleet Medical requested her presence, to help further along some of her father's ideas. Soon, Isabelle had taken a permanent post on Earth, working at Starfleet Medical. However, much to her horror, roughly a year after the war began, she was given the news no spouse wanted to hear. Her husband's vessel, the Detroit, had been destroyed, in the Battle of Betazed. For a time, she clung on to that Gregory could still be alive, despite what Starfleet was telling her. During all of this time, she continued her duties at Starfleet Medical. In the end, Isabelle began to give up hope and accept her fate. However, now with the end of the war, Isabelle has just received wonderful news...Gregory was alive and was returning home. Things were about to change...



Character Name: Tanos Xuse (Formely Cino)
Username: Founder
Rank: Lieutenant (Junior Grade)
Species: Trill (Joined)
Homeworld: Trill
Age: 35
Year of Birth: 2340
Sex: Male
Height: 5'10
Weight: 160
Marital Status: Single
Medals/Honors: None
BIO: Tanos Xuse, born Tanos Cino, was a Trill Starfleet officer and former Chief Medical Officer of the USS Detroit. He was born on the Trill home world and raised in a strict house hold. His parents tried to make him the most outstanding person he could become, but because they wanted him to be joined one day. That day would eventually come but not before he joined Stafleet, much to his parents chagrin. He was brilliant when it came to the sciences as most Trill are, but excelled in the medical field. Having the ability to heal others made him feel proud and powerful. He felt that being on Trill was far too constructing and joining the quadrant wide organization of the UFP, he knew he would be able to interact with so many more. Tanos abandoned his desire to be joined in pursuit of something he thought was much more grand. His parents, furious with his decision, disowned him. Tanos left to Earth and graduated from Starfleet Academy with perfect scores. He immediately began to serve aboard the USS Ramayana as a nurse. It was on the Ramayana when he heard that his parents were killed by the Borg while traveling aboard the USS Lalo. Tanos, furious and saddened that he never patched things up with his parents, set out to become joined in an effort to honor his parents. He transfered to a Starfleet office near Trill so that he could join the program that would allow him to attain a symbiont. Tanos managed the impossible and gained a field docent to decide if Tanos was worthy. After some time, the field docent decided that Tanos was an acceptable host for a symbiont and was given the Xuse symbiont. It took several years for all of this to occur and he went on to serve aboard a Federation starship assigned in the Trill system. It wasn't until 2370 that he had become chief medical officer and joined the USS Detroit. He had several strange adventures onboard and got to know the crew. There hadn't been any problems with the symbiont, but it definitly did change him. He became even more confident then he already was and a little more serious. The Dominion was erupted and the Detroit was not spared from the battles. Tanos saw his share of death and injuries, but managed to do his best to heal others. During the Battle of Betazed, his ship was destroyed and along with other crewmen, he was taken to a Dominion internment camp. Tanos was regularly beaten and was a favorite victim of the Jem'Hadar. They knew about the Symbiont and did everything they could in an attempt to hurt it. Frustrated with Tanos resisting their efforts, they nearly cut his stomach open to get to the symbiont. Thankfully, the Dominion war ended and the Jem'Hadar never got the chance to gut him. Disgraced and injured, Tanos returned back to a Federation he didn't recognize...
