For the quarter, Bravo Fleet grew from 67 to 72 sims, a total increase of 7%. Additionally, Fleet chat usage increased to 240 participants (11% increase), and over 708 characters have now been added to BFMS (17% increase). On the whole, the Bravo Fleet Admiralty is pleased with the progress made both this quarter. Presented at the end of this document is a forward outlook section which will detail plans for the upcoming quarter as Bravo Fleet continues to develop and expand.

Stability at home has allowed Starfleet vessels to travel well beyond charted space and gone into the deep unknown and execute Starfleet’s most basic duty. Yet perhaps the stable base may be more of a house of card than the Admiralty would like to acknowledge. The USS Valhalla, fully embracing the spirit of exploration, has travelled beyond charted space ​ ​ and is well on its way to making one of the first Gamma Quadrant first contacts since the Dominion War. The USS Nogura has seen a mission of support turn into a horror story as the ​ terraforming site of a new Federation colony was found abandoned, apart from the kind of threat that not even hardened Starfleet officers want to encounter. The USS Black Hawk, upon ​ entering the Finnean Convergence Zone, found its carefully planned trip to have an unexpected turn as the crew ended up on the other side without any memories and faced with a hostile force. Through luck and a bit of help from the future, the crew manages to hold onto their ship. Meanwhile, the crew of the USS Ride find their place of refuge to be quite a surprising facility ​ that, while it seems ancient, may very well rival even the most powerful Starfleet structures. With at least four years left until their rescue in 2389, it is important for them to make it their home. Meanwhile the USS Proxima has been busy supplying remote worlds within the effective area of ​ operations of Task Force 9, right now focusing on the Kendi system and the people within it. The USS Altai is leveraging the power of diplomacy to settle a matter on a non-Federation world ​ where its presence has been requested. Finally, the USS Scorpio, having finally been released ​ of its orders to guard Deep Space 11, has entered a nebula known as the Devil’s Cloud after significant retrofitting to survive the extremely corrosive gases within. Upon crossing the nebula it will be just days away from finally providing relief to the crew of the Ride. ​ ​ Task Force 38 Task Force 38 has a new lease on life with the unapproved trip through the Epatha Gateway. In the Alpha Quadrant, Starfleet Command faces the good and bad news with contact restored to the Task Force in the aftermath of the Battle of the Round Table. They have a task force, in name only, split between two theaters. Seeing that with renewed contact and a way to provide new personnel, Starfleet Command decided to appoint Major General Paul Potter, formerly of Task Force 72; to replace Admiral Michael Drake, the Acting Task Force Commander. In the Gradin Belt, relations between the Federation and the Hirogen have soured after the USS ​ Equinox then entered Hirogen space and used the Hirogen Communication Network to restore communication with Starfleet and the Federation. The USS Saturn’s has been dispatched by the ​ ​ Federation Diplomatic Corps to Alvos III for First Contact. The USS Infinity has gone dark, and ​ - 5 - off the radar, all communications both in and outbound have been blocked. Only a message carried in a modified type-9 probe has given any indication of her intentions. It is only known that before contact was lost that Commander Jane Vyre, had been contacted by the Tal Prai'ex. Other operations across the Delta Exploratory Initiative have continued par the course. The USS Victory responded to a distress call from a ship under attack by pirates, only to discover it was smuggling contraband. And the USS Perenolde is in transit with a new crew for its next ​ deployment. Task Force 72 The Cardassian/Romulan War waged over the Gavarian Corridor lasted less than a year. Though both sides suffered minor losses, neither power was able to gain a stable foothold in the region. The Federation, spotting opportunity, stepped into the conflict and quickly mediated a peace agreement. Cardassian and Romulan borders expanded, and Starfleet was again allowed to reenter the corridor. One of the first ships to do so, the USS Firebrand, sets sail for ​ ​ Il’Trian IV to rebuild the Federation colony that was evacuated at the start of the war. Bajor, seven years into its Federation membership, makes a bold move for the Federation, opening its doors to establish a satellite campus for Starfleet Academy. Its first batch of cadets ​ ​ have been sworn in, and classes have begun. Elsewhere on the Cardassian/Federation border rests Deep Space 12 where its efforts in housing and processing refugees have come to an ​ end, leaving the station eerily empty. By the Breen/Ferengi border, Roosevelt Station sends its ​ attached vessels to the planet Risa, where a Ferengi ponzi scheme is about to be uncovered, along with a terrible secret that will reshape the quadrant. Still docked at the station, however, is the USS Ark Royal, an aging Ambassador-class starship, which is taking on a crew for ​ ​ diplomatic missions. Memory Theta, home to the Federation’s darkest secrets, dispatched its ​ ​ attached starship to the Bynars’ homeworld where an entire civilization has been placed in jeopardy thanks to a criminal Ferengi organization and Section 31. The Task Force Headquarters, Starbase 72, hosted a surprise Breen delegation looking for assistance against ​ ​ the Cardassian Union. After consulting with Starfleet Command, that assistance was denied. The Breen expected this, and continue with their other plans... The Constitution-Class USS Providence, having been pulled from 2270 to the present day, ​ begins to adjust to their new surroundings. Rather than mothball the ship, the decision is made to keep the older vessel going and begin acclimating the crew to their new era. Meanwhile, bound on a mission beyond Federation space, the USS Traveller explores an ancient interstellar ​ ark. As the Away Team investigates deeper, a dark force attacks the group who’ve stumbled into a war older than time. Questions continue to arise from the great Inconnu Expanse. An SCE Hazard Team, codenamed Valkyries, carefully and quickly study the remains of Deep Space 7. As what ​ ​ ​ ​ remains of the computer cores are downloaded, wiped and destroyed, new evidence suggests that the base’s destruction is not as it seems. The USS Pandora, having emerged from an ​ ​ altercation with the mysterious Ravagers, works quickly to safeguard the planet Salvaxe from being discovered by other Ravager parties. The crew complete their mission, and advance - 6 - further into the Expanse into a region known as “The Indigo Sky.” In orbit of Triton, the USS ​ Hope completes a diplomatic mission. With the aid of a Tritone envoy and the arrival of several new crew members, the USS Hope continues its journey into the Expanse. Meanwhile, the ​ newly commissioned USS Magellan prepares to launch into the Expanse to investigate some questionable rumors. What new danger has the Inconnu Expanse yet to reveal? Task Force 93 TF93 continues to grapple with war on two fronts: The Klingon Civil War along with the Gorn Incursion of the Cestus & Canterra Sectors.

    Fleet Commander, Making Him an Important Figure Indeed

    24th Cen. Thot Let Pann Breen Male Breen Confederacy Biography Through all their recent conflicts in the Alpha Quadrant, the Breen have come to rely on proven leaders to command their ships and soldiers. The Confederacy consolidates its trust in individuals like Thot Gor, the military leader pushing for an alliance with the Dominion, but Thot Pann is not far behind. As with all Breen, Starfleet’s report on Let Pann could be described as “incomplete” but only charitably. Star Trek Online. Truthfully, little is known beyond the leader’s name and his involvement in several key battles with other Alpha Quadrant species where Pann was the representative who communicated enough to demand Image from surrender. He is a thot, a rank considered to be equivalent to an admiral, and seems to excel at commanding ship’s in single-vessel or fleet maneuvers. Recent reports shared from the Cardassian Detapa Council, reportedly gathered first by the Obsidian Order, paint a slightly more detailed picture. The name “Let Pann” appears on the approved listing for a diplomatic summit organized by the Cardassians twenty years ago, a meeting which included a Breen delegation as well as representatives of the Tzenkethi Coalition and the Talarian Republic. At this meeting, Pann (then a lowly h’ren) is documented as a potential intelligence officer working to coordinate with the Tzenkethi. If true, it is possible that Thot Pann is still an intelligence officer as well as a fleet commander, making him an important figure indeed. Regardless of whether this report can be trusted or not, Thot Pann is certainly a skilled commander in fleet operations.

Shepherd Abstract Weekly television series have more influence on American society than any other form of media, and with many of these series available on DVDs, television series are readily ac- cessible to most consumers. Studying television series provides a unique perspective on society’s view of individuals with disabilities and influences how teachers and peers view students with disabilities. Special education teachers can use select episodes to differenti- ate between the fact and fiction of portrayed individuals with disabilities with their stu- dents, and discuss acceptance of peers with disabilities. With its philosophy of infinite diversity in infinite combinations, Star Trek has portrayed a number of persons with dis- abilities over the last forty years. Examples of select episodes and implications for special education teachers for using Star Trek for instructional purposes through guided viewing are discussed.

I. The minutes from March 11, 2014 were not approved (they were not even raised for discussion) the Secretary does not blame you, especially those of you who actually read her minutes. In the meantime, please note the following corrigenda. The mysterious Mikes were Michael Deschenes (Kinesiology) and – Mike Tierney (Government); further, Liz was not Liz Francis (Biology – not sure where that name came from) but rather Liz(abeth) Allison (Biology), who is in fact the chair, as the Secretary may have noticed had there been less haste (festina lente, as they say), and Herr Professor‐at‐the‐Back‐of‐the‐Room was none other than our very own award‐ winning Professor Paul Mapp. The secretary also regrets the slip of John for Tom Linneman (again, too much haste), with sincere thanks to Debbie Bebout (Chemistry) and John Gilmour (Government) – in alphabetical order – for the corrigenda. Perhaps the minutes, as corrected here, can be approved next time, or not. Soon enough it shall fall to someone else. http://www.wm.edu/as/facultyresources/fas/minutes/index.php II.

    Major Kira of Star Trek: Ds9: Woman of the Future, Creation of the 90S

    MAJOR KIRA OF STAR TREK: DS9: WOMAN OF THE FUTURE, CREATION OF THE 90S Judith Clemens-Smucker A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2020 Committee: Becca Cragin, Advisor Jeffrey Brown Kristen Rudisill © 2020 Judith Clemens-Smucker All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Becca Cragin, Advisor The 1990s were a time of resistance and change for women in the Western world. During this time popular culture offered consumers a few women of strength and power, including Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s Major Kira Nerys, a character encompassing a complex personality of non-traditional feminine identities. As the first continuing character in the Star Trek franchise to serve as a female second-in-command, Major Kira spoke to women of the 90s through her anger, passion, independence, and willingness to show compassion and love when merited. In this thesis I look at the building blocks of Major Kira to discover how it was possible to create a character in whom viewers could see the future as well as the current and relatable decade of the 90s. By laying out feminisms which surround 90s television and using original interviews with Nana Visitor, who played Major Kira, and Marvin Rush, the Director of Photography on DS9, I examine the creation of Major Kira from her conception to her realization. I finish by using historical and cognitive poetics to analyze both the pilot episode “Emissary” and the season one episode “Duet,” which introduce Major Kira and display character growth.
