Last Updated: Stardate 10.0825.01

On Stardate 7.0322.1 the Feynman class starship USS Newton has been dispatched
on a three year mission to map the area known as The Cocoon, extending into
the Alpha quadrant behind Bajor.

A large area of dense dark matter and several nebulae, both impenetrable at
warp speed, have long resisted exploration of what was behind that veil, the
Newton was the first vessel to find her way inside from our side on Stardate
7.0419.0

They discovered a civilisation, the Juun, humanoids and most likely descendants
of the early Bajorans. It quickly became clear that their small empire was a
qualified candidate for Federation membership and a valuable addition as well,
that should not fall into Cardassian hands if at all possible. Under the
sponsoring hand of Bajor and Vulcan negotiations very quickly led to an
association treaty with the Federation and the Juuns' submission of a formal
request to become a memberworld.

Stardate 7.0903.1 the Federation Council accepted the request and Juun took it's
place at 304th Federation member. Starfleet Command, Juun and Bajoran Militia
put a small fleet together to protect the area from Cardassian incursion and a
possible invasion through infiltrating Dominion forces.

The Starfleet engineering corps dispatched 1400 engineers and construction
crews to Demeter, moon around a uninhabited yet life supporting world in the
system at the entrance to the cocoon. In restless effort they built the
headquarters of what is inofficially called the Cocoon Fleet, Starbase Omega.

Stardate 8.0101.0 Catherine Scott-DiFalco received orders to take command of
this fleet and promotion to Admiral. Together with Ambassador Kal she will
be representing the Federation in this remote corner of the galaxy.

Stardate 8.0115.1 Admiral Scott-DiFalco arrived on Starbase Omega with her staff
and officially took command of the Cocoon Fleet.

Current activities include the completion of the planetary defenses on Gaia
and vast tasks of exploration and diplomatic activity throughout the cocoon
to solidify the position of the Federation. A program to prepare qualified
Juun with Starfleet Academy support has been started, four older frigates
have been comissioned in the Juun Militia to enhance their self-defense
capabilities.

Regular ship traffic with Bajor opened 8.0701. More Starfleet vessels are
being dispatched as they get available; the USS ATHENE, USS HERACLES,
USS REGULATOR, USS FENRIS, USS PHOENIX, USS CURIE, USS HORIZON, USS SAGAN
and USS KATANA are the major Starfleet vessels in operation.

Outpost 721 is guarding the deeper areas of the Cocoon while Starbase OMEGA
is the fleet headquarter located in the Gaia system. The USS HARPY is
controlling the entrance and provides helmsmen to guide arriving ships into
the cocoon; just inside the battlecruiser USS LaFAYETTE is on patrol.
Deep Space 101 acts as a neutral site between the once-warring Dergrad and
Vurtedion - an unsteady peacefire exists as the station attempts to put in
place a lasting peace whilst establishing links deeper into the Cocoon.

Stardate: 9.0712.0 Commodore Datun Yanten succeeds Commodore Calvin
Scott-DiFalco as Fleet Executive Officer of Cocoon Fleet.

Stardate: 9.0712.1 Continued expansion of the Cocoon Fleet leads to the
creation of three squadrons, dividing the fleet between three Commodores.
The Squadrons are Antelope, Beaver and later - Condor.

Stardate: 9.1031.0 The Klingons declare war on the Federation following the
apparent assasination of Klingon and Cardassian Ambassadors by CinC Starfleet
at a meeting to resolve the Klingon/Cardassian conflict.
CinC Starfleet's vessel was destroyed by the Klingons as the war began.
Starfleet divisions are all searching for evidence that CinC Starfleet was
framed for the murder of the Ambassadors.

Stardate: 9.1103.0 Admiral Saishan succeeds Admiral Catherine Scott-DiFalco
as Fleet Commander of Cocoon Fleet.

Stardate: 9.1110.0 The USS FENRIS leaves the Cocoon to be replaced by the
newly commisioned USS ROANOKE a flagship to the Cocoon Fleet.

Stardate: 10.0113.0 The USS ATHENE, USS CURIE-A, USS HERACLES, USS HORIZON,
USS KATANA, USS LOKI, USS ROANOKE and USS XERXES are the major Starfleet vessels
in operation. The USS CLARK-C serves as a top secret Special Operations
tactical vessel, deployed near the Klingon border. The USS SAGAN-A is under
construction. The USS YEAGER, USS PHOENIX and USS REGULATOR are drydocked for
emergencies or staffing.

Stardate 10.0414 Commodore Yaardack Stanfelth is killed in a parallel universe
by the Borg. On the return of his flagship, the USS ROANOKE, with the news
Commodore Bagamibatoo, Beaver Squadron Commander, is assigned as his replacement.

Stardate 10.0513 A Klingon battlefleet, making it's way to take the Cocoon, is
intercepted by 12 Starfleet vessels, led by the USS HORIZON. The 12 ships succeed
in knocking over 600 Klingon warships out of warp using the newly developed
Verteron Torpedos. With their systems malfunctioning, just over 100 Klingon
vessels are destroyed by the Starfleet vessels. The Klingons soon started to
recover, however, and 6 of the Starfleet vessels were lost before the HORIZON's
task force got away.

Stardate 10.0620 An advanced party of the reinforcement 10th Fleet arrive and
help the HORIZON's task force reach the Portal. There a fleet of 110 Starfleet
vessels - the majority of the Cocoon Fleet - are gathered to defend the Cocoon
from the coming Klingon attack.

Stardate 10.0629 The Klingon Battlefleet reach the Cocoon and begin their attack. The
10th Fleet are still hours away from the battle. The Cocoon Fleet become aware that
this group of Klingons is not acting on the orders of the High Council - but are a
renegade group consisting of houses from the Cardassian Occupied zone.
The battle is long, and their are heavy casualties on both sides, but it soon becomes
evident that the brave Cocoon Fleet are fighting a war they cannot win.

Stardate 10.0630 Cardassian Forces move in on the Occupied zone, retaking their worlds
in the absence of strong Klingon defenses.

Stardate 10.0723 The 10th Fleet Arrive just after the Fleet CO's ship, the USS AVALON, is
destroyed protecting a Medical Frigate.
The USS SAGAN arrives with the 10th Fleet and communicates a message to the Klingon
forces detailing a conspiracy between the leaders of the houses of the Occupied Zone
and the Cardassians.
Many Klingon Commanders turn their attention to the lead vessels of the
Klingon Battlefleet, joining the Starfleet forces so as to regain their honour.
The Join Cocoon, 10th and Klingon forces soon defeat the renegade Klingons and their
leader is taken by Klingons to Qu'nos for 'questioning'.
The 10th Fleet and Cocoon Fleet head through the portal to SB OMEGA to begin repairs.

Stardate 10.0726 Commodore Yaardack, of the 10th Fleet, is assigned as Fleet Executive
Office to the Cocoon Fleet. Commodore Bagamibatoo is promoted to Fleet Admiral, and
assigned as Fleet Commanding Officer to the Cocoon Fleet. Three newly built
starships are dispatched from SB KAPPA to the Cocoon to be commisioned as the
USS HORIZON, USS PHOENIX and the USS XERXES. These ships replace the ships of the same
name destroyed in what has become known as 'The Battle for The Cocoon'.

Stardate 10.0730 Rebuilding of the Cocoon Fleet begins. 10 of the ships of the 10th Fleet
are transfered to the Cocoon Fleet. The Fleet was reduced from 120 ships to 35 during
the battle. Engineers estimate one and a half years before the Fleet can once more
reach it's former strength.

Stardate 10.0801 The 10th Fleet leave the Cocoon to fend for itself. At this time the
USS HORIZON, USS XERXES, USS PHOENIX, USS ATHENE, USS GRYPHON, USS DURHAM, USS ZAHAL,
USS IBUTHO and USS KRIEGER are the major Starfleet vessels in operation
within the Cocoon. The USS KATANA is missing, apparently having 'disappeared' during
'The Battle for The Cocoon'. The USS CURIE is also missing, though a mysterious
Ensign Peregrin, with a light-brown stain on his pants, has confirmed that the CURIE
and it's crew are alive and well 50,000 lightyears from DS 101.
Deep Space 101 has begun rebuilding following it's ordeal with the Nebulla Dwellers
and the Keeper.

Stardate 10.0802 Unrest on the Dergrad Homeworld leads to an attack by rebels on the
Federation Embassy on their planet.
