[Nirur Torir]

I join Para in his ship to ship combat practice on day 1.
I spend the rest of my time making sure the teleporters work, ensuring that competent engineers are behind me in the command structure should I need to go planetside for whatever reason, running a few simulations alone of rerouting power and ordering AI engineers to critical areas, and making sure that the generators are in as good condition as possible.

[Nimitz]

I'm never one to miss out on a chance to sharpen my skills, so I'll join Para in his exercise.
Now, when that's done, I will try to practice with firearms. I want to be ready if I ever need to defend myself. I'll also try to keep morale up. Everyone's probably feeling quite nervous about escorting a king.

[Batista]

Day 1: I want to use my spare time in a battle simulation (I know, I do that a lot, but I'm trying to be ready) against a couple of Tyrilian ships. I want to focus on defense and tactics against someone purely using lasers. If anyone else wants to join, welcome them)

I'll join that

Verify the new medical equipment, ask Faden if it is any better or if we we're scammed.

Keep morale up.

Prectice with Class 3 weapons.


((Sorry about the lack of RP, I'm in a hurry right now.))

[smjjames]

Oops, sorry, had completely forgotten about it and had a busy day.

I guess its time to let my department know whats going on, but since the science department can't do much right now, ask the captain if there is anything the science department can do ((I mean, this is a military ship, mostly)). Also try and keep morale up.

For the three days, ask Flintus if he knows any martial art routines on the holodeck that he can use or if he can do live sparring with the other senior crew (despite the fact that he has four arns, and is quadrupedal, giving him a big advantage), and also firearm training if possible.

Don't want to be a dead link or something if we end up in a fight.

Also, assist with any research regarding the new mission.

I concentrate on reading about emergency first aid techniques, and learning which, if any, native herbs have medicinal properties. They would be a nice addition to the botanical garden! In my spare time, I ask Flintus to help me learn how to use the gun properly.

Might be good for me to join that one.

Edit: I should mention that he also knows how to use traditional Ki'scri'caa bladed weapons (though he could use a navy issue knife in a pinch or some improvised weapon if he has to), so maybe he can practice with that? The martial arts routimes he wouid have practiced onboard ship would also have doubled as a stress relieving technique, and he hasn't had a need or reason to practice using bladed weapons. He did use them while on his birthworld and some at the academy, but its been a couple of years since.

Edit2: Since melee could cover both unarmed combat and various melee weapons, you could treat it like that, or clone that one into a new bladed weapon skill for Sxtan since you mentioned swordfighting on page one or something.

Edit3: I thought you mentioned something about swordfighing or something earlier, guess not. So, treat that however you want I guess since aside from possible ritual combat, a fight is likely going to be either with phasers or an all out brawl rather than clashing swords.

Spoiler: Report:Holodeck Training in Day 1 (click to show/hide)

In the first day of the travel, Ensign Para decided it would be a good time to do some training in Holodeck, as spatial combat action is expected in such a dangerous mission, and the danger in the latter part of the mission, which may prohibit any serious training from happening.
He sent a personal message to all relevant department heads for training together, and managed to recruit Captain Batista, Helmsman Nimitz and Engineering chief Nirur Torir to train with him.
[5]The holodeck worked perfectly without any oddities.(stat.adv to exp.gain)
The training was split into 3 rounds, 1 round before noon, and 2 rounds afternoon. Each time crewing a simulated version of Swiftwing against a stronger force of simulated Tyrilian ships.

CNS-15322 Swiftwing versus 1 Tyrilian Destroyer.
Performance:
  Batista:[2+1(Crew.cmd)-stat.disadv([2-stat.disadv(Pressure Management)]Synergy)]
  Para:[4+stat.adv(Targeting)+1([5+1(Tactical)]Synergy)](+1 targeting +2 Tactic)
  Nimitz:[2+1(Maneuvering)+1([6(Emergency Maneuver)]Synergy)](+2 Emergency Maneuver)
  Nirur Torir:[3+1 and stat.adv(Power Management)+stat.adv([3+1(Damage Control)]Synergy)](+1 power management +1 damage control)
Outcome:
  CNS-15322 Swiftwing: Minimal Damage
  Tyrilian Destroyer: Destroyed with all hands by catastrophic reactor explosion, caused by HEPPC fire.
Analysis:
  Maybe still worried by that holodeck incident more than 3 monthes ago, at first Batista just failed to get in-character, and his performance was average at best.
  Despite the Tyrilian Destroyer's vastly superior sub-light maneuverability, Para still made it landing many hits with both HEPPC cannons and torpedoes. His tactical geniusity have proven to be invaluable with the absense of Nimitz's usual well-honed skill.
  Maybe Nimitz is also still somewhat troubled by the holodeck incident, he failed to get into character too at beginning, and botched quite some maneuvers Batista and Para have planned out. His skill(or maybe luck?) in dodging shots and a couple ramming attempt has been particularly well in contrast.
  Nirur performed well in his post, distributing the power generated by the reactor and sublight engines throughout the ship as the bridge crew demanded without trouble. The Tyrilian ship still managed to got a few shot past the shield though, and his damage-control skill have also been useful.

CNS-15532 Swiftwing versus 3 Tyrilian Destroyers.
Performance:
  Batista:[4+1(Crew.cmd)+stat.adv([5-stat.disadv(Pressure Management)]Synergy)](+2 Crew Cmd. +2 Pres.Man.)
  Para:[5+stat.adv(Targeting)+stat.adv([3+1(Tactical)]Synergy)](+2 Targeting, +1 Tactic)
  Nimitz:[5+1(Maneuvering)-1([1(Emergency Maneuver)]Synergy)](+2 Maneuvering)
  Nirur Torir:[6+1 and stat.adv(Power Management)+1([5+1(Damage Control)]Synergy)](+3 Power Management +3 Damage Control)
Outcome:
  CNS-15322 Swiftwing: Moderately damaged, Major hull breach
  Tyrilian Destroyer A: Destroyed with all hands by catastrophic antimatter containment failure, caused by torpedo impact.
  Tyrilian Destroyer B: Destroyed with partial evacuation by hull disintergration, caused by numerious weapon hits.
  Tyrilian Destroyer C: Disabled by heavy hull and reactor damage, caused by a glancing collision.
Analysis:
  This round have pitted Swiftwing against the theorical maximum strength of enemy she can handle. Batista have finally managed to convince himself after a fast lunch with other department heads discussing their performance, and did a very good job leading and inspiring others, and planning tactical moves with Para.
  Para managed to place some very good shot on various critical location of enemy ships, including destroying one immediately at the start of the battle with a well-placed volley of torpedoes. His tactical skill have also proven its use.
  Finally regaining his composure after a good lunch, Nimitz did a extremely good job gaining firing position on enemies. But his Emergency Maneuver skill botched again, eventually ending up with the last Tyrilian scrapeing past the hull of his ship, causing a lot of damage.
  Nirur did a very good job supplying power too all system of the ship, including several fully-boosted shot on the primary mounts of the ship, he played an important part in actually winning the battle. His damage control skill also came under strict test, as the last Tyrilian ship scraped a large section of the ship open into space.

CNS-15532 Swiftwing versus 5 Tyrilian Destroyers.
Performance:
  Batista:[4+1(Crew.cmd)+1([6-stat.disadv(Pressure Management)]Synergy)](+2 Crew.cmd +3 Pres.Man.)
  Para:[5+stat.adv(Targeting)+1([4+1(Tactical)]Synergy)](+2 Targeting +2 Tactic)
  Nimitz:[1+1(Maneuvering)-stat.adv([2(Emergency Maneuver)]Synergy)]
  Nirur Torir:[5+1 and stat.adv(Power Management)+1([4+1(Damage Control)]Synergy)](+3 Power Management +2 Damage Control)
Outcome:
  CNS-15322 Swiftwing: Destroyed with all hands by hull disintergration, caused by numerious weapon hits.
  Tyrilian Destroyer A: Destroyed with all hands by catastrophic antimatter containment failure, caused by HEPPC hit.
  Tyrilian Destroyer B: Destroyed with all hands by catastrophic reactor explosion, caused by torpedo impact.
  Tyrilian Destroyer C: Moderately damaged
  Tyrilian Destroyer D: Moderately damaged
  Tyrilian Destroyer E: Minorly damaged
Analysis:
  This round is yet another of those "Kobayashi Maru" scenario. The main task of this round was to survive the battle, escape if possible. Batista handled himself very well despite the overwhelming odds without obvious sign of being stressed, and did a quite good job at commanding the ship despite the final outcome, it was a good and honorable fight, and he went down with the ship.
  Para managed to deal a lot of hit to enemy ship despite the sheer amount of laser beams impacting their ship at every moment, and handled well in the maneuver planning, which did help the ship to survive longer than it should have been, he remained on station till the bitter end.
  Maybe it's bad luck, or the emotional turmoil caused by the overwhelming odds have finally broken Nimitz. He didn't manage to maneuver the ship very good, failed to dodge a lot of shot that could have missed their mark, and, finally, missed a critical chance of engaging their hyperlight engine that could have taken the ship to safety. He was simulated to be knocked out by exploding console near the end of the battle, and went down with the ship.
  As always, Nirur Torir did a very good job maintaining the power system of the ship, and directed his AI crew to the countless spot across the entire ship for repair. He remained on his post till the bitter end.

Spoiler: Flintus (click to show/hide)

  In these three days, you reviewed the file of your security personal again,[6(Dep.Cmd)]and was very successful this time. You hand-picked the 4 best crew, and focused your attention on training them to be honor guard of the King of Covenant of Cril with you, or serve as platoon commander in the future.(+2 Dep.Cmd)
  [5]You managed to do a very good job training these 4 crew and yourself despite the limited time available, which Faden, Nimitz ,Batista and Sxtan joined midway. Alongside with training, you have also familiarized yourself with them, and earned yourself respect from your department and your fellow officers..(+5 rifle +7 melee +5 small arms +7 martial art)(+respect from your own department, 4 crews are available at Regular experience, Above average skill.(Not important enough to list out separately...yet.))
  [5]you also managed to learn quite a bit more about command from your experience as the ship's First Officer.(+5 Dep.Cmd)
  Now the ship is entering the orbit of Planet Olan, you called your department on combadge and waited for order.

Spoiler: Para (click to show/hide)

  After the training, you spent the rest of the days on your post, checking the sensors to make sure there are no ships shadowing or waiting to ambush the Swiftwing.[4-stat.disadv(Sensor use)]You didn't detect anything out-of-usual on the sensor, and the ship entered the orbit of Olan without trouble, you waited on your station for orders.(+3 Sensor Use)

Spoiler: Faden (click to show/hide)

  You started to learn more on First-aid.[6]And have learned a lot about it despite the short time.(+6 First Aid)
  You also started to check the botanical record for Olan,[3-1(Botany)]But failed to find out any, maybe there are some, but you are not sure.(+1 Botany)
  Batista asked you about the new medical equipment. [5]You determined that they are exactly what they are supposed to be, and reported the result.
  In your spare time, you asked Flintus for some training you with using the weapon.[5]And found yourself training with the security crew of the ship, Nimitz, Batista and Sxtan. Beside getting a bit respect from security department, you successfully trained yourself on using the weapon. (+10 Small Arms)

Spoiler: Nirur Torir (click to show/hide)

  Expecting the use of teleporter in near future, you started to focus your attention on teleporters.[6]They turned out to be working without any problem.
  You also started to train the engineers directly under your command to make sure the ship would work without problem even without your presense, training yourself in various simulations of powergrid and damage control in the way.[4]You managed to train your crew and yourself quite good.(2 crews are available at Regular experience, Above average skill.)(+4 Power Management, +4 Damage control)
  You checked the intergrity of the reactor again as the ship entered orbit of Olan, [4]and no problem beside aging is detected. You waited for your order as you completed this.

Spoiler: Nimitz (click to show/hide)

  A bit shocked by the last round of the training, you decided it would be a good time to hone up you skill. Hearing that Flintus is specially training a couple security personal, you decided it would be a good time to join. It was a mild surprise to you to see that Faden, Batista and Sxtan is also training there.[5+stat.adv.(Faden's presense+Batista's presense+Sxtan's presense+Nimitz's Fascinated by Aliens)]You trained quite well, and was quite fascinated by the fact that Faden, Batista and Sxtan is training with you.(+6 Small Arms)
  You also tried to keep the morale up, hoping to get a bit social training in the way.[5]And was pretty successful.(+5 Conversation +5 Charm.)(Reduced stress level a bit)
  Finally, you took the ship into the orbit of Planet Olan, and waited for your orders.

Spoiler: Batista (click to show/hide)

  After the training, in which you had another taste of honorably dying in the way, you decided to check the equipment supplied by SS23. It turned out to be good and functional as checked by Faden.
  Sxtan asked you about his work aboard the ship, and you responded by noting the modification to the ship's main weapon mount.
  You also tried to keep up the morale.[1]and totally botched your attempt, at least you didn't destablize the morale further.
  You also started to train with Class 3 weapons. You contacted Flintus for the training, and he invited you in his little training program. It was a mild surprise to you to find out that Faden, Nimitz and Sxtan are also training there, alongside with 4 of Flintus' crews.[6]You completed the training very well.(+6 Firearms)
  As the ship entered the orbit of Planet Olan, you considered your options.[Additional detail provided at Informations section by Sxtan]

I marked out your Melee Combat skill with a blade specialization...is that ok?
Also characterize your personal melee weapon a bit?

Spoiler: Sxtan (click to show/hide)

  You asked Batista about what your department would do, and he responded to you by telling you about the modification to the ship's main weapon mounts."Maybe you can do better than that."He said.
  You've also joined Flintus' mini training course with martial arts and firearms, and was surprised to find your Captain, Faden and Nimitz also training there.[2]The time was a bit short, and there wasn't enough training for your skill.(+3 Melee Combat, +4 Small Arms)
  On your duty shift, you temprarily paused your research on Xenobiology and seeked more detail about the next segment of the mission on Planet Olan,[4]and determined the following information:

King and his family:
  King of Covenant of Cril, Lorin has been exiled onto Planet Olan since 21 years ago, with his still-young daughter(Princess Cila, aged 4 at that time), his wife(Queen Miri), and his four servant(Personal manservant Eari and his wife, royal cook Mossay. Also Stable Master, Aldel and Chief of the households, Nil)
  Queen Miri died a few years later by disease, while others managed to live through the hardness of all these years.
  The King is pretty old now, the hardship on the living didn't make the situation any better.

King's dweeling and current situation on Planet Olan:
  A stone house of typical Olani construction located on the south hemisphere of the planet in a rural region, the King, his family and entourage has been living there for the entire duration of their exile.
  Enemy presense on this planet is very low, at most a Tyrilian agent with a few paid Olani informers according to report, it used to be much more though, their number reduced as the time passes.
  Also the Swiftwing's presence here should have been a surprise for Tyrilian Empire, for the secrecy nature of the mission.

Crown of the Covenant:
  As the political and religious symbol of planet Cril, this very important item is not with the King at this time. The King have hidden it away on a remote planet at the beginning of his exile, only King himself know further details about this.

  Now the ship is entering the orbit around Planet Olan, you wait for your orders.

Spoiler: Informations (click to show/hide)

  Humanoid race hailing from Planet Cril, resembles human, slightly weaker constitution, and have white hair. Confederation Associate.
  Supplies the ore Crilium which is used as energy source in the entire sector. Ravaged by civil war for more than 20 years tracing back before the Third War, the situation is about to take a turn.
  Planet Cril's political and religious leader, King of Covenant of Cril, Lorin has been exiled to Planet Olan for 21 years.

  A vital energy source of many planets in local space near Cril, much safer than Uranium and other similiar isotopes and require much less technology than fusion to produce power.
  Although Crilium did occur natually on every planets and asteroids in this section of space, only Cril, after which the ore is named after, have a concentration high enough to be mined with acceptable cost-effectiveness. And there's nigh-infinite amount of Crilite in the crust of Cril, which is enough to provide this and nearby sectors with energy for thousands of years to come at current rate.

  Humanoid race with an appearance that resembles human, but more bony and muscular, especially on the face. Regional Power, Quite aggressive. One of the powers that is now essentially surronded by CS as the latter expands, As CS spent most of its resource on Zerkalian Front it's more than willing to take some bite off the CS from the back, but does not dare an open war since they are too weak when compared with CS.

  As it's closer to Earth, the first contact between CS and Tyrilian Empire is pretty early, in the 2250s, which is immediately followed by a series of skirmishes between the two powers.
  Now it's surronded by Confederation as the latter expands, laying between the core and frontier worlds.
  It's technology level is 2370s-equivalent when compared to the Confederation, which is slightly inferior.
  The relation between it and CS has never been good. And because of Confederation's non-invasive nature, and the war between Confederation and Zerkalians, they have been trying to cut a piece out of CS since the Second War.
  Located in the opposite side of the Zerkalian Front, This regional power have been proven to be a thorn on the back for the Confederation.

  The military ships of Tyrilian Empire is typically light-to-medium destroyer sized, using exclusively lasers as their weaponery as observed, though a heavy-cruiser sized ship has been observed not long ago.
  Their technology is around 2370s-equivalent for Confederation, which is a bit outdated for newer Confederation ships, but still somewhat more advanced than his own Swan-class light cruiser.
  Tyrilian ships usually patrols around in single ship, or form a small taskforce of up to 5 ships.
  A typical Tyrilian ship looks like a triangle, with HL engine attached to port and starboard aft, and bridge on the dorsal fore of the ship.
  The common weakness among these ships are their low HL speed. The maximum speed ever observed is Factor 6.5, while they typically cruise at factor 5.
  Their laser armament are roughly class 4-8 in output when catagueized, though more powerful weapons is possible.
  Typical tactics Tyrilians use usually involves a lot of strafing as their laser are mostly forward-mounted. Ramming is also a tactic favored by Tyrilian commanders if their ship is damaged enough, or they are overpowered enough.

  Located near the Confederation-Tyrilian border, this sector is the home of StarStation 23 and Planet Cril, origin of Crilite civilization. Also have 8 habitable planets, 3 minor planetary colonies and 2 minor civilization, Olani and Elloni.
  This sector has been under constant threat from Tyrilian Empire since the first contact with them, but is still weakly-defended when compared to those alongside Confederation-Zerkalian border because of the constant threat of Zerkalians and its spatial position.

  Humanoid race native to Planet Olan, much shorter when compared to human, and is characterized by their darker skin and slightly diffenent facial feature. Confederation Associate.
  Planet Olan is very hot for a Class-M Terrestrial planet, bordering on Class-L Desert because of its relatively closeness to its sun, its atmosphere is also thinner than Earth. As the result Olani population is pretty sparse, barely reaching 5 million as of 2415.
  This planet does not have any natural resources treasured by any space-faring civilization, nor of any strategic importance. Thus of little intrest to any space-faring civilization, such a planet makes for excellent dwelling for exiled royalties like those of Planet Cril.
  The King of Covenant of Cril and his family has been exiled here with Confederation assistance. and has been here for 21 years.

  Humanoid race native to Planet Ellon III, shorter than human, and the skin color ranges from pink to deep green, very welcoming to strangers from all places. Confederation Associate.
  Ellon III is pretty underdeveloped by Confederation standard, the cosy lifestyle of Elloni people in one of the reason behind that.
  The culture of Elloni people calls for friendliness to all people, regardless of origin. Total strangers are hailed as neighbours, the hospitality of the Elloni people is famous throughout the Confederation.
  As a result, Immigration policy of the planet is pretty lax, and there's a stable Crilite population on the planet because of the frequent ore trade between the two planets.

  King of Covenant of Cril, Lorin has been exiled onto Planet Olan since 21 years ago, with his still-young daughter(Princess Cila, aged 4 at that time), his wife(Queen Miri), and his four servant(Personal manservant Eari and his wife, royal cook Mossay. Also Stable Master, Aldel and Chief of the households, Nil)
  Queen Miri died a few years later by disease, while others managed to live through the hardness of all these years.
  The King is pretty old now, the hardship on the living didn't make the situation any better.

  A stone house of typical Olani construction located on the south hemisphere of the planet in a rural region, the King, his family and entourage has been living there for the entire duration of their exile.

Background: Nirur is a fairly recent graduate from fleet school. When he was a child, his role model was Frederick, a teenager who lived next door. Ever since Frederick became a fleet officer, Nirur had dreamed of his own command.
In fleet school, he scored excellent marks on his engineering tests, but barely passed his personal combat training. After graduating, he was dismayed that his girth prevented him from passing the physical tests. He spent the next several months working at a fleet dock, where he gained experience building and repairing ships, rapidly being promoted to a team leader due to his skills, and eventually becoming the leader of an entire shift. He continued exercising, and passed the fleet's physical aptitude tests on his second try.
With the skills he learned in the dock, and with recommendation of Frederick, an experienced captain by this point, he was granted the position as head of the engineering on this starship. He now eagerly awaits his chance to prove himself.

Science:Sxtan(smjjames)

Spoiler: Sxtan (click to show/hide)

Name: Sxtan
Race: Ki'scri'caa. An arthropod species which has eight limbs (lower two pairs are walking limbs, the upper two are manipulatory), vaguely resembles a cross between a mantis and a scorpion and an antman, and is about the height of a typical human. Also, their respiratory system evolved in a similar way as mammals, that is, they have the equivalent of lungs and are able to hold their breath.
Gender: Male
Age: 30
Rank:[4]Lieutenant junior grade
Appearance: (see above for general physical appearance) A light metallic blue carapace with dark green mottling on the back, has distinctive lighter green striping and spots on the face which are used for individual identification, every pattern is unique. The upper pair of limbs roughly resemble a humans in function, except they have four claws total, two are the equivalent of fingers and two (one on either side of the hand) function as thumbs)
Profession: Science
Assignment:Science Director and Chemistry and Xenobiology Researcher, CNS-15322 Swiftwing

Special Ability: Natural multitasker (has four arms and hands, and so could do two things at once or do something quickly, negates dual-wielding penalty), Natural Toughness(Stat. Disadv. to -2 on damage roll against you depending on what you're up against at the discretion of GM)[For balancing off, and good characterization ], All-terrain(No reduce to -1 on terrain penalty depending on situation)

Disadvantages: Being a cold blooded species, he has problems in cold environments without special clothing, as such, he prefers ambient temperatures of at least 90 degrees Fahrenhelt (32 degree Celsius), but can handle standard temperatures (75 degrees F and 24 degrees C) quite well with a simpler heating garment under the crew outfit. Its when the temperature drops below 60(15 degree C) that he begins to slow down(disadventage on movement related roll) without protection, eventually going into torpor around 40 degrees(4 degrees C, All movement-related roll autofail on this point).

Skills:
Below-average xenobiology researcher(27/40)
Average Scanner Analyzer(science)(mainly analyzing the data from hand scanner and shipboard sensor)
Above-average chemistry researcher(21/60)

Good Field instrumental repairer (1/70)
Above-average conversationist(20/60)
Above-averagedly logical(13/60)
Not Small Arm user(4/10)

Background: Hailing from a Ki'scri'caa frontier colony world, he started his career in science quite early as was his interest, so he has gotten used to working in rugged terrain. However, despite the opportunities right there on his birthworld, he was well aware of the outside universe and when he came of age, signed up for the CNF. Its been a couple of years since he graduated from the academy, so this is probably his second or third assignment.

Average Martial Artist(27/50)
Above-average Departmental commander (5/60)
Somehow(below-average) Streetwise
Very good Conversationist(25/80)

Background: Having grown up in a lower-middle class family star ship command was not a likely option for Flint when he was growing up but like many other children he was raised on stories of the exploits of the heroes of Confederation Navy and he quickly set his sights. Flint doesn't often talk about how he managed to get into the academy or the inquiry that was ordered relating to it, but regardless there was not enough evidence to press charges, unfortunately Flint still carries this blemish on his report. Life in the academy was easy enough Flint had trained his body to peak athleticism and was a naturally talented shooter. The academic side provided more of a challenge but Flint worked hard and passed with an impressive record showing excellent talent in his martial skills and was placed on security.
Flint has served on one ship and his relatively lower class upbringing saw him get along very well with the other crew members. Of course the questionable way he was able to get into the academy in the first place saw tensions between him and his officers however nothing too drastic ever came to pass. And excellent repour with crew members as well as a heroic performance in one of only two instances of space combat saw Flint promoted and he was sent back to Earth ready for his new posting.

Swan-class light cruiser, produced from 2316 to 2340, first ship CNS-12434 Swan launched from Earth Navy Spaceyard at 2316.7

CNS-20119 Kiwi A                                3 weeks ago, Deep space near Sol system
CNS-20283 Little Swan(Last Ship of the class)   Current, StarStation 23

Launched from Utopia Planitia Staryard, Mars at 2325.11 and entered service at 2326.3
The Swiftwing is one of the first(and sadly, also one of the last) ship of Swan-class Light cruiser.
Equipped with top-of-the-line technology, facility and equipment at it's prime, Swan-class formed a large part of the effective defence force throughout the last century, and performed well in both the Second and Third War, and as a result, many ship of this class has been lost in battle.
Originally designed with a service lifespan of 80 years, Swan-class performed beyond all expections, and is certfied of an additional lifespan of 20 years(Actually mainly because of the Third War).
Now this class of ship is meeting its end even with its extended lifespan, and began to show all sort of problem with aging.

As retrieved by Nirur Torir:

Main Hull:
  Length: 245.9 meter
  Height: 39.6 meter
  Width: 48.1 meter
 Total(incl. Hyperlight Engine):
  Length: 297.1 meter
  Height: 47.9 meter
  Width: 97.5 meter
This ship is relatively small for a light cruiser, only slightly larger most heavy destroyer nowadays, but still well-armored when compared to destroyers even with it's age.
It's called Swan-class for a reason, for its long, wide and downswept HL engine pylon connecting elongated main hull and long HL engine.
It's also capable of minimal atmospheric operation, but not landing except in absolute emergency because of the downswept and fixed HL engine pylon, and lack of landing strut. An emergency landing can be a premature end of the ship's service life.

As retrieved by Batista:

The ship has entered service in 2326.3, it's first Captain is Lt. Commander Frakes, who served aboard the ship for 19 years before his KIA in battle at 2340.11.
It have helped mapping out 277 systems, taking part in 596 combat action, destroyed(by major contribution) the following ship by class:
156 Frigates
42 Destroyers
9 Light Cruisers
1 Heavy Cruiser.
And had completed 14 diplomacy missions, 3 intelligence missions and 1 first contact situation.

Record of Major event:
2325.11 Launched
2326.3 Entered Service
2331.4-2342.9 Second War, Damaged and salvaged 2 times at 2338.5, 2340.11
2350.6-9 Major refit
2372.6 Damaged and salvaged in skirmish along the Border
2400.2-2405.7 Third War, Major refit 2400.4-7, Damaged and salvaged at 2404.12
2421.6 End of the 19th assignment cycle

Equipments(Firing arcs and stats are mostly statistical, and for brand-new equipment(hint hint)):
 Weapons:
 2 Confederated Technology HEP8-MK3A-3 Triple mount HEPPC Array (1 on fore dorsal(Class 8, 160 power to fire each array in standard mode, arc Fore 270 degree, Dorsal 85 degree), 1 on mid ventral(Class 8, 160 power to fire each array in standard mode, arc Fore 200 degree, Aft 50 degree(blocked by hyper-light engine) below Ventral 30 degree(Omnidirectional above), Ventral 85 degree))
 4 Confederated Technology HEP6-MK5C-2 Dual mount HEPPC Array (2 on Starboard Aft(Class 6, 70 power to fire each array in standard mode, arc Starboard 160 degree, Dorsal 75 degree, Ventral 55 degree), 2 on Port Aft(Class 6, 70 power to fire each array in standard mode, arc Port 160 degree, Dorsal 75 degree, Ventral 55 degree))
 12 General Weaponery GWHEP5-MK2P HEPPC Cannon(6 on each broadside, incapable of wide-beam, standard beam, 20 power to fire each array in standard mode, arc(Port: Port 170 degree, Dorsal 95 degree, Ventral 90 degree. Starboard: Starboard 170 degree, Dorsal 95 degree, Ventral 90 degree))
 2 Confederated Heavy Weaponery ATT-2C Antimatter torpedo tube (both on fore, 80 power to fire each, 80/80 Ammo: 60 Standard CHW-Mk2 Antimatter torpedo, 20 CHW-Mk2E EMP torpedo(Heavy damage to shield and have a good chance to fry some delicate systems, low structral damage), self-guided, arc Fore 30 degree, Dorsal/Ventral 15 degree)

As retrieved by Para(Paranatural):

The newest weaponery aboard the ship are the twelve General Weaponery GWHEP5-MK2P HEPPC Cannon mounted on port and starboard of the ship, replaced its predecessor in the 2400 refit, you checked your Combat Starship Simulator, and seems like the information in the simulator is pretty accurate, you chilled in your spine.
The oldest is the two Confederated Technology HEP8-MK3A-3 Triple mount HEPPC Array, which is already mounted since the ship's entrance into the service in 2326.
You also notes that the power requirement that listed on the operation manual is the power requirement to fire one of the multiple cannon mounted on the same point.
Also noted is that the 2 main cannon mount's power conduit is directly connected to the reactor core itself, possibly field-modified some years before, that allows more power on the main cannon mount as long as reactor's up, but will cause complications if the core is down, this also incresed the risk of damage in case of an overload feedback from the cannon.
The intergrity of the Weaponery Powergrid is pretty good despite its age, at least when compared to other systems of the ship.

 Propulsions:
 2 Dynamic Technology DI-FIMk4A Fusion Impulse Ion Drive (Sublight movement, aft, cruise .2c, max .5c, 50 power each engine each second each .1c, Generates 100 power per second normally, 150 maximum)

 Facility:
 Old(Poor) Science Facility(stat.disadv. to -1 to science roll),Well Maintainanced(Stat.Adv to science roll), Wide-ranged

Equipment status of Science department:
They are old. Logically one would assume that they won't be good for research as researching is a mainly cutting-edge job, and logic triumphs yet again.
Most of them dates back to 2350s, maintainance is very good, but their capability and precision has been degraded too much to be entirely acceptable.
Replacement at first chance is logical, but might not be practical, as we are this ship's last crew, serving in her last assignment cycle.

Chief Engineer Nirur Torir reporting at 2421.6.30 1900hrs:
All systems is ready for launch without major malfunction at any time.
Functionality report:
Power system 93%
HL Propulsion 89%
SL Propulsion 94%
Life support and crew facility 87%
Science system 86%
Medical system 84%
Hull intergrity 88%
Defense systems 92%
Weapon systems 89%
Reduction in functionality mainly caused by equipment aging, thus unrepairable.
The ship itself in combat efficiency is comparable to a newer medium destroyer, with strength in Armor, Shield and Point-defense effectiveness, and weakness in Maneuverabilty and Speed when compared to one of such ship. However this ship cannot hope to handle a newer light cruiser on itself, at least not in its current state of maintainance, the last crew should be reassigned to ground duty for their disregard on maintainance and bad attitute toward the next crew.
P.S. The Food Synthesizer in Officer's lounge is now repaired, turned out to be a prank.

Spoiler: Misc Facts (click to show/hide)

Lieutenant J.g. Sxtan's Ki'scri'caa Brown Tea is poisonous by causing severe diarrhea to anyone other than himself, but as long as others don't take the wrong cup there should be no problem.
Me, Lieutenant J.g. Faden's feather might cause a few crew a minor allergic reaction, mainly minimal sneezing, none of the senior officer is allergic to my feather though.
There might still be undiscovered allergic and pathological reactions, but that would need time to discover.

Cephid 17 is a binary system, 1205.2 lightyears away from Earth which is at the border between Core and Frontier systems of the Confederation of star.
Swiftwing should be able to reach the destination within a half year if everything went all right on a cruise speed factor of 6.0 and stay on the +1.0 Hyperspace highway.
Nothing much is interesting in the way though, as this is a pretty busy spacelane and everything around has been througthoutly studied.
(This information is pretty useless now)

A Tr'cic is a powerful predator which resembles an insectoid velociraptor with a barbed tail. It's native to the frontier world that Sxtan was born on.
As a result of being covered in chitin, Sxtan cannot do facial expressions, his people use gestures and sounds to indicate emotion and other subleties of language.

On his homeworld:"It's like living on a living rock, the planet seems to be alive, tons resarches have been made to determine if it is or isn't a huge living organism orbiting our sun, personally I don't believe that crap. If you ever get to visit it, don't be surprised if the only thing you see is red, orange and yellow, our oil equivalent is actually red, we call it "The bloody juice", some religious fanatics say it is the blood of the planet."
A large part of Batista's early career is served on Planet Cril, as CNF's Advisory serving beside King Lorin, and has been friend of the King.

She'd started trimming her wing feathers after they caused her to botch emergency first aid on Ferrus. The patient lived, but lost an arm to infection. Since then, she simply hadn't felt confident enough in her abilities to allow her feathers to grow out.
She has alcohol intolerance.
She is the only avian serving aboard Swiftwing as of the start of the 20th assignment cycle at 2421.6.

Being a fan of starships since youth, he has a lot of Ship-in-a-bottle and other models in his quarter.

Look out for errors...it's already later than 1:30 a.m. here

Yea, I guess the blade specialization thing is good, although in tight quarters and on board ship, doing martial arts would work better.

As for the blades, he does have a few weapons in his quarters which are on display which haven't been used in years, but are well maintained and probably just need a bit of sharpening.

The various weapons are:

A ritual stave-like weapon with a blunt bulge on one end and three blunt hooks on the other. Not meant for real combat and was only used in a combat ritual (more a test of skill than combat) that his clan does. Sometimes carried for other rituals or ceremonies.

4 short blades which he carried with him when he went into dangerous areas when working out in the field on his birthworld. They resemble a machete, except slimmer and with a pointier tip. Being multipurpouse weapons and the equivalent of a survival knife, usually up to 2 are wielded at a time, but all four can be used if neccesary.

Since force isn't likely to be needed, equip only two of them and place them into scabbards which can be hidden, but where Sxtan can whip them out in an instant.

At the surface, assist Faden in checking out the kings health and dealing with any possible medical issues.

Given my poor skill in ranged weapons, I won't pack a phaser ((is that what we're calling them?)) and holster.

If you look in the Swiftwing spoiler it'll show you all the weapons on board.

I guess they're mini-pistols? I was thinking of the word phaser for whatever reason.

[Paranatural]

Para's in a good mood, feeling like we did pretty well in our Holodeck training.

Para will stay at his station and run frequent sweeps for any ships headed our way, and will make sure that any that are around won't keep him from checking for attacks from other locations.

I don't expect Para would necessarily be on the away mission as he's barely competent with a weapon and generally you don't get a lot of ship-to-ship combat while on the ground, but if Batista wants him there, he'll arm himself and head out. As an Ensign, he'll keep his mouth shut and follow orders, for now.

[Nirur Torir]

We forgot to get lessons on protocol last turn.

Being of more use on the ship, Nirur will assume he is staying on the ship unless ordered to go planetside. He will sit at his bridge console, looking up basic Crilite protocol information sharing the more common differences with standard Earth culture and share it with Para/whoever else is on the bridge (Hey, don't idly tap the console in their presence. They consider it to be a way of saying that you're tired of a guest's presence), along with how to address the king. He will also look through the ship databanks for how Tyrilians typically treat prisoners captured during boarding actions. It's very important to know if they merely capture unarmed engineers who surrender.

[Batista]

Next turn will consist the beam-down and interaction with the King, his family and entourages, length will depend on your actions.

I'm assuming we are going to get teleported somewhere near the king, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Flash meeting before going down to the planet.

"Okay guys, this is what is going to happen, me, Sxtan and Flintus (and some of his men, 3 tops) are going down to meet the king. Nimitz, Para, Faden and Nirur, you will remain on the ship, as you're more usefull here. Faden, be ready in case something goes wrong. And somebody please check the temperature down there, Sxtan might need some special clothes to keep him warm.
As for protocols, I don't really have time to explain every intrincancy of their traditions and etuiquette, just treat him like you would treat the major representative from your race, and you shoulnd't offend him. Don't act like I will, I'm his friend, you're not. Oh, and ALWAYS, I repeat, ALWAYS, look them in the eyes when you speak, it's a major disrespect not to do so. You're dismissed."

I will take my Class 2 pistol, already in my possesion, and also a Class 3 rifle from the armoury

Get beamed down, and search for the king

"Your majesty... do you still remember me? I beleive there is a certain civil war waiting to be solved." *Smile as I say this*


EDIT: ADDED PROTOCOLS.

[Faden]

I will assist Para in gathering information on proper protocol for dealing with royalty. I will pass this information on to my subordinates and order them to make sure they are well versed in Crilite Physiology, I'll help them learn it later if they aren't (I suspect they aren't)

[NoctisVampire]

Now waiting for Nimitz's input, if everything is all right, turn can be expected in 48 hours.
Still doesn't have too much time in weekends

Spoiler: Hints (click to show/hide)

And about the best source for protocols...would be Batista, who have served beside the King for years.
Also Planet Olan is very hot, on which Sxtan would feel very comfortable without any outside help.
