Epiisode 1:Vulgar(Brief Summary-all missions were done over e-mail)

The USS Saratoga had set out on it's 3rd voyage,it was a simple enough task,to farry Ambassador Zing from Betazed to Wung(a newly discovered planet and people).But once inside Betazed territory,a Dominion invasion fleet came.Outnumbered 300 to 2-the USS Pontameus,a Galaxy Class starship was also there-they put up one hell of a fight.The USS Pontameus downed 3 Dominion attack wings(36 ships),before being critically damaged,but they went out heroically-they rammed a ship,that held the leader of the fleet and in the process 3 ships were destroyed.
The Saratoga being targated by most of the Dominion fleet did even more damage,and suffered 1027 casualties of 1311 crew members-notably Mark Johnson,Joel Howe,and Thomas Moore.The Saratoga killed more than 5 Dominion attack wings and also tried to ram their target,but they were uncessful.
The Dominion damaged the Saratoga to where nothing except for the computer database remained.The Dominion wanted those secrets and Captain Wartman knew it,he set the ship to autodestruct in 10 minutes and let the crew know.There were enough shuttles left for the remaining crew to leave in,so they did.Except for Captain Wartman who stayed on the bridge to go down with his ship.His crewmen tried to convince them to go with them,but that was to no avail.So Commander Djurgdanas took the matter into his own hands,after leaving the ship,he made his shuttle beam off Captain Wartman.
Sadly Commander Djurgdanas died in the battle.126 shuttles had left the station and surprisingly 91 remained.The two federation ships that were downed in that battle names were given to two newly comissioned ships-the USS Pontameus now a Nebula class starship,before the ship was called the USS Hawk and the USS Saratoga is now christened as the USS Saratoga-D,a Saratoga Class Starship.
