chapter 01
Star date 03.01.08AQF, the third of january, two days after the new year the recently promoted captain sat in his command chair, pleased by the performance of the new  short range scientific light-cruiser. His science officer, lieutenant lookd at her sensor readings, at behest of vice-admiral  she and S'aur were to take the Oberth-Class on her maiden test voyage. So far the USS Grissom performed well and without any hick ups, they even discovered an interesting asteroid just outside the borders of the Badlands Sector. S'aur waved his hand in dismissing. As the USS Grissom approached the asteroid, Giusti laid back in her chair, crossing her legs she read the scientific report. This asteroid appearance was rich on materials, perfect for harvest and studies. Suddenly the humanoid helm lieutenant warned the two of a proximity alert. A brownish vessel dropped out of warp and approached the USS Grissom. S'aur looked surprised, and ordered a yellow alert, with shields raised Giusti opened a channel for the captain with the unidentified vessel. Coming in view screen was a humanoid reptilian male, who looked all but happy. Giusti and S'aur looked surprised, the two never heard of the Jenassians before. While S'aur apologized and replied, Giusti checked the Rambo Command database but found no reference about them.
 * S'aur: "We are crossing the border now! Prepare scanners and transporters, that asteroid is rich on lithium and ionized gasses. An interesting site to investigate."
 * Giusti: "Sir? Is it wise to cross the border? We aren’t really fit to counter trouble in this short range scientific vessel."
 * S'aur: "We are less than a light year away from our border, and this is uncharted and unclaimed territory. Helm, full impulse!"
 * Arritzia: "This is Gul of the . Why did you enter our space unasked."
 * S'aur: "I am captain S'aur of the Rambo starship Grissom, we are on a peaceful scientific mission to study this asteroid. We mean no harm, nor were we aware of this being your space. We would like to conclude our study of the astroid!"
 * Arritzia: "Unacceptable, you trespassed. Prepare to be boarded!"

Before S'aur could issue a red alert and charge the phasers, the Jenassian cruiser fired its weapons. The first target the port nacelle, the second the bridge and the third the port nacelle again, the precise method and high energy impact overloaded the shields of the Grissom and disabled the warp drive as a fourth beam caused hull fractures. Rising from his chair, various Jenassians beamed abort and raised their weapons, with no choice S'aur issued a surrender for his 35 crew members, though Giusti did manage to send out a general distress before being back slapped in the face as punishment.
