Having noticed several of the other major powers in the Alpha Quadrant adopting ship designs from the Galactic Empire, the Romulan Praetor has decided that the senate is not to be outdone. Foregoing fighter craft and battleships, it was decided that a touch of elegance was called for and thus the Romulan Star Empire dispatched a small team of Tal’Shiar operatives to acquire the plans for the Lambda Class shuttle, known to have ferried Emperor Palpatine at one time. Modified with warp engines, modest yet effective armaments and an upgraded cloaking device designed to confound the most advanced sensors, this class of shuttle is reserved for transporting only the highest ranking members of the Senate. Consequently only three have been constructed, one each for the Praetor, Proconsul and Vice-Proconsul. Wherever they go, their designated shuttle remains cloaked in orbit, maintaining a constant emergency transporter lock which can be activated instantly by the individual. After the annihilation of the Senate by Shinzon in 2379, it seemed the most prudent decision.
For untold years the name Star Destroyer has been synonymous with the Galactic Empire and its unending reign over a galaxy far, fa….you know that bit. But now, after the cruel devastation of Cardassia Prime in the closing hours of the Dominion War, the survivors of Cardassia have made the decision to change how the Alpha Quadrant views this ship and its name. With their Basestar Class vessels taking on the role of transporting combat craft, the new Star Destroyer Class cruiser has been upgraded with modern warp engines and the original hangar bays housing scores of fighters, shuttles, troop transports and walkers have been converted to living quarters. This massive starship is now capable or relocating tens of thousands of displaced Cardassians whose homes were razed by the Jem’Hadar on the final, diabolical orders of the Founders. The ship that claimed to destroy stars is now given a new purpose, to create new homes.
We revisit the Star Wars franchise here on Day 4 of TrekAdvent as the Galactic Empire’s ubiquitous TIE Fighter gets a glow up from the Dominion as it becomes the newest weapon in the Jem’Hadar’s arsenal. The enemies of the Founders will see scores of fighters crashing upon them as “Victory is Life” echoes across the stars.
Imperial TIE pilots will be heard asking why they never got a cool battle cry.
