Missions
Sentience (Mission) The USS Black Hawk, fully repaired and extensively refit following her near-fatal mission in the Convergence Zone, is launched from Gamma Command to perform a light shakedown cruise in order for her crew to become comfortable with the changes aboard the starship. However, the Golden Stars… the Consortium… the Dolmoqour… none of them could have ever prepared the crew for what is about to happen next... | |
Ghosts (Mission) The shakedown cruise brings the Black Hawk to a nebula where it can test the improvements on the sensors. When the lifeless hull of a Federation starship is detected inside, Captain Geisler orders the Black Hawk to enter and investigate. | |
Extinction (Mission) The Black Hawk, having recently uncovered a fresh band of piracy operating freely on the edge of Starfleet space, is assigned to patrol the Argatha sector in hopes of finding a lead on a pirate haven. Upon arrival, the Black Hawk’s long-range sensors pick up an uncharted binary system in the western quadrant and moves to investigate, only to discover the system mostly lifeless, aside from the remains of an extinct civilization on the second planet. The investigation continues, and the mystery deepens, especially when they discover something absolutely shocking... | |
Regrouping (Mission) The Century-class Black Hawk has been prematurely decommissioned. Captain Geisler has been shamed for the loss, but even still 3 years after the tragedy at Mars, Starfleet is still short ships and qualified leaders, the latter of which Geisler still barely qualifies for. Admiral O'Connell has pulled every last string to keep Geisler in the center chair, but it has come at the loss of most of Geisler's crew. What loyal members Geisler has left gather aboard the newest ship to bear the Black Hawk's name. Together, with new faces, the Black Hawk prepares to return to its mission, patrolling the Gamma Quadrant and seeking out the roots of piracy... | |
Milk Run (Mission) It's time to give the new ship a proper shakedown... during a classic milk run. | |
Return to Razmena (Mission) Relieved at last, the Black Hawk returns to its primary mission: rooting out the pirate haven. Captain Geisler has decided to take a more proactive role and sets course for Razmena, an independent space station not far from Gavara and Starbase Unity. What will they find? | |
Shattered Unity (Mission) With the remains of the USS Gaittithe in tow, the Black Hawk travels to Starbase Unity. What awaits them is a horror unseen since the rise of the Consortium. Can the crew of the Black Hawk break the mystery that is quickly overpowering Federation assets in the Gamma Quadrant? |
