the age of 25, he was made a sub-commander and given
command of a small destroyer squadron near the triangle.
Tomolok was instrumental in several negotiations
and two attacks on Klingon held worlds that resulted in the
seceding of Koldros II as well as hampering the Klingon

But Mavelian would soon find himself in opposition
to the policies of the Tal Shiar. As he neared the end of his
fourth tour at Star Base 2, Mavelian and his commanding
officer both decided that it would be in the best interest of
the Empire if Mavelian were to be re-assigned. Mavelian’s
commanding officer worked furiously to get him a ship of his
own, but was forced to assign him as the Second Officer

Mavelian stayed aboard the Warbird for over
30 years, rising to the position of First Officer and then
eventually to Captain. Mavelian has been in charge ever

Anwri graduated with commendations and was

soon in the Military Operations Command as a Navigation
specialist. He continued to amass knowledge and political
influence and was soon posted as the First Officer of the T-
5 Requara.
Anwri quickly gained a reputation as an aggressive
and head-strong officer with aspirations of command and
power. With the changing political climate and an openly
aggressive climate against the Federation gaining strength,
Anwri fit in perfectly with the new rank of ship commanders
who wanted more personal prestige that glory for the
empire.
Cooler heads would prevail, though, and when
Anwri’s T-5 was nearly destroyed in the triangle after an
unauthorized mission, Anwri was chastised and assigned
a T-10, the Warhawk. With little political power left, Anwri
accepted the command and became an expert in destroyer
tactics. He has since begun to re-rise through the ranks,
and has aspirations of a Federation Boarder command.

PSYCHOLOGICAL MAKE-UP:

non-Romulans for no solid reason. He feels that the Empire

PERSONAL HISTORY
Anwri was born to Fleet parents, actually being
born on the return trip of the V-8 cruiser Anwri’s Blade. He
had spent most of his early life on the farming colony of
Traig, operating heavy farming equipment by the age of 10.
He was somewhat of a trouble maker, though, and by age
15 had tried unsuccessfully to enter Fleet Training. With a
promise to stay out of trouble, Anwri’s father pulled strings,
getting him posted at the age of 16 on a reserve scout vessel.
By age 18, Anwri was constantly winning against the ships

Although a successful relationship, it came to an
abrupt end when the Kntar was sent on a recon mission
into Klingon space. After being attacked by a Klingon D-
7, a number of Sobel’ta’s friends were wounded or killed,
including her current love.
Disillusioned by combat, Sobel’ta stuck it out, on the
advise of friends, and was soon assigned to the Courageous.
She enjoyed the diverse assignments of the new V-20,
and soon was involved with the chief weapons officer.
She learned tactics and ship board operations beyond her

a skirmish with a Klingon cruiser, Quintus shifted focus and
was soon considered an expert on the Klingon Empire.
It was only a few months before Romulan Intelligence
recruited Quintus. His natural abilities to analyze data and
his command capabilities quickly placed him in command
of an intelligence scout operating along the Federation
boarder. Quintus’ was soon sending estimates and reports
on Federation boarder patrols, their new outposts, and even
shipping lanes, all extrapolated from the merest of sensor
data.
But Quintus would again face tragedy when his brother
was killed in a raid across the Neutral Zone. Quintus became
despaired and withdrew from friends and crewmembers.
He was eventually relieved of duty by his First Officer,
and went on inactive status for nearly 8 years. When his
families farm finally made a decent profit, Quintus returned
to the fleet, immediately being assigned as the First Officer
aboard a V-11. One of the few Romulans to enjoy the new
cruisers, Quintus deftly created tactics and objective lists

his father and mother, who settled shortly after his entrance
to the Fleet.
Tr’Apalar would continue to move around, serving on
more than 20 vessels in 35 years. His early duties included
stints on nearly every vessel in the Romulan fleet. He would
end up being posted to the M-4 Adaka as a second officer.
This position gave Tr’Apalar a unique chance to expand his
knowledge for ground forces and their operations, especially
in both large unit and small force configurations.
Tr’Apalar continued his exploits for 2 years, until
he became a unit commander after the loss of the Adaka’s
primary Ground Forces commander. Fighting against the
Breen on Pokorlia, near the southern most Klingon/Romulan
boarder, Tr’Apalar was able to out flank three separate
front line units of Breen, eventually forcing their withdrawal
from a key city on Pokorlia. To Tr’Apalar utter horror,
though, his brilliant strategies would prove useless when
the Breen completely withdrew from the planet. When the
Adaka persued the Breen ship, it was attacked by several
small gunboats. Wanting to save his ship, the Captain of
the Adaka ignored the Breen troop ship as it returned to
the planet and began an orbital bombardment. Within two
hours, Tr’Apalar’s forces were decimated.
Tr’Apalar vowed to never let a ship commander leave his
ground forces in the lurch again. Pulling strings and calling
in favors, Tr’Apalar was assigned to the Stormseeker, where
he was immediately noticed by Jarok. Transferred before a
chance to see ground combat again, Tr’Apalar had easily
returned to his role as a ship commander, and has served

Through the second officer’s persuasion, Covtek
was moved into a command position as a gunnery officer,
surprising both. Covtek soon learned the benefactor of his

PSYCHOLOGICAL MAKE-UP:
Bliene is curious by nature and seeks a deeper
knowledge of the galaxy. She still pursues the sciences with
vigor, often sitting in on science division staff meetings. Her
recent command loss and promotion have thrown her for
a loop, and she is often nervous that she can’t make the
right decision and will get someone killed. None the less,
she is trusting of her ability and knows she is a capable
commander. She tries hard to keep from letting the crew be
too formal off duty.
Bliene is youthful and flirtatious, especially off
duty. She is just professional enough to keep her post of
commanding officer out of the prying eyes of security, and
enjoys the camaraderie of the crew. She believes that her
training has become instinct and will keep her and the ship

Bliene has lived an extremely sheltered life, never

young age and continued to be fascinated by exploring the
Astro-sciences. While she did possess the skills to enter

 OFFICERS OF THE BATTLE HAWKS

But when the previous commander of the Hawk’s

Eye was transferred to the newly captured D-10, acquired
in the Triangle, Corius was bumped up to command and
given a crash course in starship tactics. She has since been
the commander of the scout vessel, conducting nearly two
dozen covert missions behind the Klingon boarder. She has
only had two combat encounters with the Klingons in her
two years as ship commander.

PSYCHOLOGICAL MAKE-UP:
Corius is motivated by curiosity, more than anything
else. She knows she need experience, but trusts her training
and her crew. Her success and capabilities are growing, and
her knowledge makes her the best interpreter of Klingon
military and political actions within the unit. She doubts some
of her command ability, but not her interpretations. She is
sometimes frustrated by her lack of political clout, unable to
pull desired crew members from other commands. Although
she does not speak openly of it, her command staff know
her frustrations.
Corius’ curiosity also makes her suspicious of what
she does not know, almost to the point of over protectiveness.
She so far has not walked away from a mission, but would
do so if she felt the risks did not outweigh the benefits.
This somewhat dangerous attitude is only know to her First
Officer and Engineer, her closest friends on the ship. She
also has no compunction about the capability of her ship,
readily willing to call for back-up or re-enforcement’s if she
feels out numbered or out matched.

BRIEF PERSONAL HISTORY

Corius has gained the Hawk’s Eye command on a
fluke. She began her career as an attaché after graduating
with high marks for her studies in Klingon culture and
society. Although she does not oppose peace with the
Klingons, neither does she support it, knowing they are
dangerous as both friends and enemies. Because she did
not forward political views either way, she came under the
watchful eye of security. Even before she graduated, her
quiet yet demanding nature earmarked her for command.

Divlius would spend 10 years regaining his position

as a respectable commander. He continued his main goals
of planning greater conquests of planets in the Triangle and
along the Federation boarder. By 2280, he had attained
the newly created rank of Admiral, a rank taken from the
Humans and Klingons. He was given command of the
Triangle sector and has been in charge ever since.
His goals of expansion, raiding, and even alliance
with lesser worlds have helped the Romulans maintain a
large connection with worlds in the Triangle and along the
hostile Klingon boarder. Thanks to Divlius’ pollicies, and a
talented command staff, the Romulans continue to import
raw materials at an alarming rate, expanding the fleet and
opening up several new colonies.

dropped from w arp at the edge
of the M orning G arden System ,
Jarok sprang into action. Itw as
a good test for the popular
officer.

SPEC IA L R U LES:

B oarding Parties:
Standard boarding parties rules apply. Each freighter m ay use ½ of it’s crew as
green troops w hile underw ay, and allof the crew as green troops if it’s engines are
dam aged or itis otherw ise unable to m ove.

C loaking Expertise:
The three R em ora M k IV E scorts ( A dora, C haw az, T’pran) all receive a +15 to
detect cloak rolls, due to the nature of escort m issions and their captains skill in
dealing w ith cloaked vessels.

Escape:
The attacking force m ay escape by w arping offthe bottom ofthe com batarea. The
D efending force m ay escape by w arping outalong the top,left,and rightside ofthe
com bat area. Any ships that leave the im m ediate conflict area are not considered
escaped. Keep track of those ships and allow a pursuit force to intercept the ship
unless they gotto w arp.

Explosive C argo:
The Federation freighters are each carrying N utrolium , an extrem ely explosive
com pound. If a Federation freighter’s hull is dam aged by m ore than 8
superstructure points, the cargo w ill explode. For each point of dam age the
freighter’s hullreceives,10 SC U of nutrolium w illexplode. Each SC U does .5 points
of dam age. If the freighter is destroyed, the resulting explosion should be handled
like a W arp C ore Breach explosion (see advanced rules). Allother dam age is done
to any ship w ithin the sam e hex or directly adjacent to the sam e hex as the

Ending:
The scenario ends on turn 12 due to m assive Federation R e-enforcem ents.
