Description
"The Kzinti cruiser is hailing us, Captain.", Rochus Heimann said."Onscreen, Lieutenant.", Metlesits nodded. The forward viewing screen switched to the image of an orange-furred Kzin captain in dark magenta uniform.
"This is the battlecruiser Waswurrah of the Kzinti.", the felinoid said, hos voice a meneacing hiss. "Your presence here is..."
"Save your breath, furball!", the Captain said, standing up from his chair as if getting ready for a duel. "You don't remember us, do you? You have wrecked our ship back at Cait three months ago. Now we're back! Mr. Heimann, close channel. Mr. Nussbaum, fire all weapons, maximum yield!"

It was war. They wrecked us. We survived. Now we wreck them.

The picture rocks, but the background story sucks. I'd hope that 23rd century Starfleet captains were better than that.
Still, this is one hell of a beautiful picture.

It was wartime. We did what we had to do.

Why are the ships blurry but the asteroid is in focus? Was that intentional?

The ships are movign at high speed manouvers plus the Kzinti cruiser is being hit. The asteroids are relatively stationary.

I would hope he/you had official sanction to open fire. Doesn't seem like the Federation to "bust the first cap" for any reason. The Terran Empire for sure but not the Federation.

The Kzinti and the Feds are at war at this time.

I recall that being mentioned in TOS. I think they did a few issues in the DC STAR TREK comic, but that was like 20 years ago. Still it is just a bit uncomfortable to have a Federation ship just outright declare "I'm gonna kill yo' ass!"

Nah, it's just that the Kzinti have wrecked my ship. We survived. Now we kick back!

Gotcha! I'm about 130 years removed from that. They records of that war promise well for the federation, stay vigilant it still won't be easy.

Which is why USS Lexington (NCC-1709) was rushed to the front without completing her post-refit shakedown cruise...

The war laster for a few months, it was actually quallified as an "incident". Still, it took many good lives...

Yeah, but at leastthe furballs were driven back to their side of the border. *Sigh* I wish Starfleet Command would get of it's butt and cut us loose to pay them back on their side of the border...

The "war" finally drew the Feds' attention to the Kzinti, not just Humankind's. With Cait being invaded, it became Federation business. After Cait was liberated, the next stop was Kzinhome, with an invasion fleet.

(Would it be possible to push back the timeframe to allow for the refitted Lexington to participate in the fighting?)

What is the date you were thinking of?

Hmm, six months after TMP?
(I'm assuming TMP happens in early 2271)

Well, the Polaris underwent her Phase II refit of three months during the time the Enterprise was refitted from Phase II to TMP. The Grey lady left out the Kzinti Breach, sitting in the dock.

I don't think Enterprise ever got the Phase II refit, she went from TOS to TMP configurations...

Okay. I knew I'd read a little about it somewhere...

For a moment I thought the Federation was attacking the Jupiter 8 from Lost in Space.

You have a whole timeline figured out, don't you...LOL...Well done.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you!
Yeah, the Polaris timeline is laid out in medium details. Most of it is set during the unseen fifth year of the Enterprise's mission and after that, but the events are, of course, overshadowed by such events like V'Ger...

Way out of focus but fits your storyline very well. Congrats Dave on a job well done. Hope your going to post this story over at tamerlane.

Thank you, my friend!
I hope I can write a fanfic or make a webcomic one day.
And you're a Tamerlane fan? Never would have thought
