Hollo all, it’s been a while since we got around to doing a battle report so here you go.
Emboldened by the victory on Archanis (
https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/641807.page), the Klingons have set their sights on the near by Ajilon system. Taking the Ajilon system will allow the Klingons to have a buffer between the Federation and Archanis system. Koloth has convinced the High Council to send more K’Tinga class vessels for the attack. The High Council is reluctant commit the new ships as their numbers are limited, however Commander Koloth has convinced them that more firepower is needed to defeat the larger Starfleet Cruisers.
Starfleet listing posts have detected a Klingon task force heading for Ajilon. As Sector Commander James Kirk has requested more support from Starfleet. Since the last engagement with the Klingons in the Archanis system, Kirk only has two combat worthy ships at his disposal, the USS Nautilus and his own ship the USS Enterprise. Not wishing to lose another system to the Klingons, Starfleet relents and dispatches the USS Constellation and the USS Intrepid to rendezvous with Kirk.

Koloth was injured during the battle and the B’moth is operating on reserve power. Krell’s ship has lost life support and Kang’s has lost its disruptors. Kor assumes command of the fleet and orders the Klingons to with draw back to Archanis.
Styles orders the Intrepid to pursue the Klingons, however Kirk calls him back. The Nautilus is dead in space and Constellation is operating on auxiliary power. Enterprise is in even worse shape with both propulsion and weapons off line. For now the Intrepid will have to come to the aid of its comrades instead of chasing Klingons.
Well that’s all for now, hope you enjoy.
