This story will have Star Trek elements in it, but is not Star Trek. Just pointing that out in advance.

Splatoon: Legacy

Prologue

(2150, 100 years after Earth Force is established)

A man entered the office of Stardock, and opened up his computer. He pressed the record button and spoke. "August

14th, 2150. Admiral Jonathan Craig speaking. One hundred years ago, we achieved world peace. We developed vessels

capable of traveling the stars. For seventy years, we colonized worlds without incident. It wasn't meant to last, however.

We encountered a race called the Kor, who attacked one of our vessels in the Outer Regions. There were no survivors.

For the last thirty years, we have been at war with the Kor, with many losses on both sides. Due to the number of losses

we were sustaining, more than we could account for, we established a draft, anyone 13 and older, due to the lack of

personnel available. Those especially gifted were assigned to the newly built Constitution-class starships. One of these

gifted recruits was assigned to my ship, the USS Orion, which was a Constellation-class starship. He has since served

aboard the USS Constitution and is now the youngest Captain of the fleet. His starship, the USS Legacy, was sent on a

top secret mission. It will not return for some time. Her Captain, Jack Hudson, is a fine young man. When his ship

returns, he and his crew will be the saviors of humanity. The vast majority of our fleet has been destroyed. Only the USS

Phoenix, the mothership of her class, remains. The rest of our ships were destroyed during a decisive battle with the Kor.

To whoever hears this recording: Please don't make the mistakes we made." With the message complete, the Admiral

stepped towards the airlock, to board the shuttle that would take him home, where he would sleep forever.

(Avalon system, three hours later)

The USS Legacy came out of Warp at her destination, a solar system with seven suns. The ship's solar panels would

provide it with power for the time needed for the mission. Her Captain sat in his command chair, facing the suns.

"Johnson, full stop." The helmsman replied, "Full stop, Captain." He nodded, then pressed a button on his chair. "All

hands, this is the Captain speaking. It's now that I will reveal the details of this mission. This solar system has seven

suns, which are estimated to survive for 10,000 years. During that time, the crew of the Legacy will be put into

cryogenic suspension via the life support system, which will be powered with the ship's solar panels. I wasn't overly fond

of receiving this mission, but Command's orders were clear. This ship was named Legacy because that's what it is: the

legacy of humanity. When the cryo process is complete, we will be revived, and will return to Earth to rebuild our

civilization. Hudson, out." He brought his finger over the button that would activate the cryo panels. "If something does

go wrong, I would like to say that is was an honor to serve with you all." He pressed the button. As the freezing process

began, he looked towards the viewport, at the suns. 'For now, I rest, then to return to my nest.'
