             HISTORY:
             The material in this story is placed at about  120  years
         after ST:TNG.  Most material is based upon ST:TOS, and ST:TNG
         although it is based upon ideas from several  years  of ( for
         lack of a better word ) Trekkieness.
             NEW DEVELOPMENTS:
             The Federation and The Klingon Command have united,  Thus
         the technologies have combined. The Tholian Assembly has been
         obliterated by the notorious Borg.  A new enemy known  as the
         Scrn'tn ( more info in new races ) has shown up.  Nothing has
         been seen of the Ferengi since the Borg destroyed the Tholian
         Assembly.  The great starship Enterprise 1701-D was destroyed
         by the Borg,  killing  the  heroic crew ( Data was found shut
         down folating in space ). The "Q" have seemingly finally left
         the UFP alone after years of tormenting random starships.
             NEW RACES:
             The Scrn'tn ( pronounced: schrinton):  A race of humanoid
         creatures standing 25 to 30 feet tall.  Their  technology  is
         rather advanced, as well as their physical  attributes.  They
         Have Phaser and Photon capabilities, the most common ship  is
         apparently capable of only warp 8.  Shield systemery is about
         80% that of Federation shield technology.  They do  not, app-
         arently,have cloaking abilities. As far as the Federation can
         tell,the Scrn'tn came from somewhere farther out in the  area
         of what was Gorn space, destroying the Gorn alliance, and are
         now starting ventures into Federation space.  Little is known
         about Scrn'tn society except that it is militaristic (resemb-
         ling Klingon social structure ). Physically they  are  almost
         identical to a prime human athlete, if of course that athlete
         was 27 feet tall.  Nothing else is Known about the Scrn'tn.
             The Gronts: These are a race of sentient computer beings.
         The Gronts are members of the Federation they are  humanoids,
         with positronic structures resembling Data.  The Gronts  have
         been aware of the Borg for as long as the Federation has been
         in existance. They possess an utter hatred  of the  Borg, for
         Borg soldiers do not possess any sentience.  That is all that
         is known about the Gronts.
             NEW TECHNOLOGIES:
             Warp Drive:  The Federation, for no apparent reason,  has
         gone back to designing the warp engines to resemble the tran-
         swarp drive engine of the Excelsior.  The maximum speed  that
         warp engines can now achieve is warp 9.95 (or 8000 x speed of
         light), they can maintain this speed for about 96 hours  or 4
         days. The new speed is achievable because improvements on the
         matter/anti-matter mixing control.
             Electromagnetic Recoilless Cannon ( REL cannon ):  An old
         technology made more practical.  The REL cannon makes use  of
         electromagnetic fields to propel a projectile of raw metal to
         a target.
             Phasers: Phasers now automatically fluctuate firing freq-
         uencies so the Borg do not get a chance to adapt. ( hand held
         phasers as well)





             O.S.C.A.U. ( Officers Self Contained Armor Unit ):  these
         are now standard issue armor for hostile  environment.   They
         are made out of Phaser reflective  alloys ( classified info )
         that can withstand the equivalent force of 2 mega-ton  charge
         at ground zero ( heavy stuff! ). The suit is a hydraulic unit
         so that it helps the wearer move. A person wearing the  armor
         is capable of running at 25 to 30 mph.  The unit contains  an
         automated sensory targeting device that displays the  target,
         and where the wearer is aiming.  The armor is  also  equipped
         with a recoilless projectile cannon with 200 rounds of  ammo,
         the device is about equivalent to a 20th century  M-16  auto-
         rifle, firing 40 rounds per minute. The suit can function for
         72 hours continuous use before needing to be recharged.
             Instantanious Transporters:  the Federation  has  finally
         developed a dimensonal-shift based transporter that does  not
         cause the slow breakdown of DNA structures in the  user.  The
         new system can transport people from one  location to another
         in about 5 nanoseconds, without the breakdown look of the old
         design.  A mild flash of light ( part of the other  dimension
         entering ours and being vaporised ) accompanies the person. A
         tributary of the speed of transportation "Instantanious" tra-
         sporter.
             Cloaking Devices:  Because of the union of the Federation
         and the Klingon Command,all UFP ships are equipped with cloak
         capabilities, but when cloaked, a UFP ship can only travel at
         warp 8.5 max.
             Celestial Class Starship: The newest and best ship of the
         Federation,  There are only two in commission:  N.C.C. 1831-A
         USS Nightshade, and N.C.C. 1825-B USS Flashback.  Capable  of
         a maximum warp of 9.95, this is a ship useful in fighting the
         Borg. The Saucer Section resembles that of the obsolete class
         Enterprise XI cruiser, stemming  from  the  primary hull, are
         wings resembling those from the  Klingon Bird Of Prey,  above
         the wings, centered, is the first of 3 warp  engines, hanging
         opposite on either wing are the other 2 warp engines.The ship
         is equipped with a strip of Phaser giving an arc of fire port
         around forward to starboard side, 3 banks located aft give an
         equal area of fire all around, 2 banks of photon  tubes  fire
         forward and one photon tube in the primary hull fires aft.  A
         REL cannon is located on the tip of either wing.  The ship is
         designed for a voyage of exploration,  but  is  given  enough
         firepower to handle hostile forces and Borg attacks,which are
         rather common.



                    THE STORY

             On the bridge of the USS  Nightshade, Captain  Richard
         Pulse sits on the command chair in the center  of  the bridge
         next to him is seated First Officer  David Morrise,  opposite
         Morrise is Lieutenant commander Jean Wolfe.The bridge is alot
         like that of the old Galaxy class starships,  except  it  has
         more computer  interface  stations.  Directly  above  Captain
         Pulse is Lieutenant commander Debra Mitchell  at ship weapons
         scanners.  At Engine control is Lieutenant Michael D. Singer,
         At the navigation console ( front left ) is Mr  Dron ( ensign
         of Gront race).  Opposite Mr Dron is Lieutenant  Vicki  Games
         at ops.
             On the view screen is the  plannet  Qalliph ( the Scrn'tn
         word "dread"), the fifth planet in the Ra'anath system, a sun
         which is slowly being devouered by a black hole.  The Nights-
         hade was awaiting the arrival of its twin, the  Flasback.  It
         was due here in five minutes, the two ships were given orders
         to investigate strange subspace fluctuating emmisions not or-
         iginating from the planets, the star, or even the  black hole
         that was all to close in Captain Pulse's mind.
             "Mr. Mitchell, is there any sign of the  Flashback yet ?"
         asked Captain Pulse,"Yes sir, they have just come out of warp
         at the edge of the solar system, arrival in 30 seconds." Good
         thought Pulse, I finally get to see my cousine again.
             "Captain, Captain Randolph is hailing us." said Mitchell,
         "On screen" said Pulse.
             "Flasback to Night shade, Pulse, Is that you old friend?"
         "Yes, Randolph, Is there any news ?" said Pulse, "Sirs,  if I
         may," asked Mitchell,"Three Borg ships  Approaching  at  half
         impulse."
             "Shields up! Flashback, did you get that ?"snapped Pulse,
         "Aye, Nightshade, Three Borg vessels on intercept course with
         us," Randolph Commented, "Flashback out."
             "Sir,"started Morrise,"Borg force beams are attempting to
         lock on, shields holding.""Target force  beam  emitter,  fire
         Phasers, full Photon Torpedo spread."
             "Captain, one of the other Borg ships has mannaged to br-
         eak through the Flashback's shields, they are  attempting  to
         send her into the black hole!"added Games,"NO," shouted Pulse
         "full reverse impulse, target force beam emitter on that Borg
         ship, fire."
             "Captain," interupted Mr. Dron,"your attention please  to
         the third Borg vessel.  It appears as though  a bay  of  some
         sort has opened up on it."
             "Sir," said Mitchell,"confirmed,several very small sliver
         like ships emerging."
             "Damn, Looks like we are the decided test subjects  of  a
         new Borg weapon." observed  Pulse.  "Sir," stated  Games, her
         voice barely a whisper,"the Borg 'drones' have sent the Flas-
         hback over the Event Horizon of the black hole."
             "Aim Phasers and Photons on the 'drones'," Pulse said not
         without sorrow in his voice,"Aim REL cannons  on  drone  bays
         of the Borg ship, Fire!"
             "Captain, the drones are breaking  through our  shields,"
         said Morrise,"the Phasers and Photon Torpedoes  are  taking a
         toll, but there's so many drones, I don't think it makes much
         difference.  The REL fire has mannaged to destroy one of  the
         three Borg, ships, but now the other two  are  opening  their
         bays."




             "Damage report." Pulse commanded.
             "Sir, shields at 40%  and  dropping  rapidly.  Thruoghout
         primary and  secondary hulls, there are reports of damage and
         casualties. "Mr. Dron replied
             "Captain," came from the medical  officer  Karen  Beckom,
         "what on Earth is going on up there,  I  have  more  injuries
         than I can accomodate for in the medical facility."
             "Mrs. Wolfe," said Pulse,"Report to the med-lab to assist
         Miss Beckom in her duities."
             "Aye, Sir." snapped Wolfe walking towards the turbo-lift.
             "Mr. Singer, give me all you've got, warp 9, get  us  out
         of here.  Miss Games, send a subspace message  to  starfleet,
         tell them what occured at Ra'anath's star."ordered Pulse.
             "Aye, Sir," said Singer,"warp 9, arriving at starbase 255
         in the Illyria system in 7 minutes."
             "Message sent," said Games,"Star Fleet Command will reci-
         eve it in four days."
             "Gentlemen," started Pulse,"I'll  be  in my office if I'm
         needed."
             As Captain Pulse entered his office, all he  could  think
         about was the last time he saw  Chris  Randolph, his  cousin.
         To loose him at the hands of the Borg, such terrible thougts.
         Star Fleet had suspected that the Borg had  ascimilated  some
         new technology, and were working on some new ideas  of  their
         own.  "Enter" he said as the door sounded, it was  Lieutenant
         Vicki Games, looking rather distressed.
             "What is it Miss Games?"asked Pulse, used to dealing with
         his officer's problems.
             "Sir," she started,"I...I just wanted to extend my utmost
         sympathy, in light of what has...er...ocurred."
             "Thank you Lieutenant." said Pulse.
             "I knew him too, Sir." Vicki  started  to say,"Well, Sir,
         arrival at Starbase 255 in 2 minutes, your presence is requi-
         red on the bridge."
             They left his office, she first, then he.  Pulse couldn't
         help but notice the shapelieness of her backside.   Suddenly,
         she turned,"Sir."
             "Er...Yes, sorry." Pulse noticed  Her  front was  shapely
         as well.
             "We shall discuss it  later, Sir."  Games stated.
             "Yes, Lieutenant." Pulse offered.
             "Sir," came from Dron,"prepairing to dock at Starbase 255
         for repairs."
             "Good, proceed Mr. Dron." stated Pulse.  Either Pulse was
         seeing things, or as Miss Games  sat down, she smiled  at him
         with a dangerous twinkle in her eyes.
