U.S.S. YAMATO SEASON 2 MISSION LOGS
The details of the second season of the USS Yamato missions are lost. All that remains are high level notes on the introductory multi-part adventure that explained how the vessel got a new command crew.
Synopsis
The Columbus Class USS Constantinople, a small scout vessel commanded by Lieutenant Commander Jack Williams, is on a routine mission when it discovers a Federation shuttlecraft adrift. The shuttle is identified as being from the USS Yamato, which has been missing for several months at this point. Aboard the shuttle is the Yamato's commanding officer, Captain Kevin Johnson, who appears to be suffering from partial amnesia and has no idea what happened to the Yamato.
Using the logs of the shuttlecraft, the Constantinople begins investigating and soon finds itself pulled through a rift in space to another dimension. In this other dimension the crew of the Constantinople encounter a hostile technologically advanced spacefaring race. The hostile aliens had been anticipating the arrival of another Starfleet vessel and were waiting to capture the Constantinople. The ship evades capture and seeks to learn more about where they are.
Slowly Captain Johnson regains his memories and eventually the crew of the Constantinople put together what happened to the Yamato. Just prior to its disappearance, the USS Yamato encountered one of the space vessels of the hostiles that had crossed into our dimension through the rift. The aliens attacked the Yamato, but retreated back through the rift when the Constitution Class vessel proved to more than a match for it. The Yamato followed the enemy vessel back through the rift to its dimension, where they were lured into a trap. The Yamato was ambushed by the aliens' ultimate weapon - an artificial planetoid bristling with offensive and defensive weaponry that they called their War World.
The Yamato was captured by the War World and her crew imprisoned. Captain Johnson and a small number of his crew escaped and stole the Yamato. Finding themselves unable to return to Federation space, Captain Johnson and his team instead chose to hide the Yamato to prevent the enemy from analyzing it to learn the strengths and weaknesses of the Federation in preparation to invade. The Yamato was hidden in an asteroid field, and by magnetizing the hull to attract the nearby material and reducing the ship's power to minimum levels Johnson and his team effectively camouflaged the vessel as an asteroid.
Captain Johnson then took one of the shuttlecraft and made another attempt to return through the rift to warn the Federation and get help. Unfortunately the Captain was again captured by the enemy, but he had been prepared this time. Prior to departing in the shuttle Captain Johnson had his medical officer Dr. Chang erase his memories of the location of the Yamato so that if he did fall into enemy hands he could not betray her. Unable to get the information they need from their prisoner, the aliens instead erase more of Johnson's memories and send him back through the rift in the shuttle, hoping that he will be found and as a result more ships could be lured through the rift.
The Constantinople eventually finds the hidden Yamato. The two vessels attack the War World and rescue many of the Yamato's crew that were still held captive there, though some had already been killed by the enemy and still others would die in the battle. In the end the Contantinople was lost but most of her crew survived aboard the Yamato. The Yamato in turn was able to destroy the War World and make it back through the rift and seal it behind them, saving the Federation from invasion.
As a reward for their heroic actions many of the Constantinople's crew recieve promotions and are assigned to the Yamato, including Constantinople commanding officer Jack Williams, who becomes the Yamato's new First Officer, and Constantinople's chief engineer Michael Gilded-Hawk, science officer T'Rahl, and helm officer Jay Wylde, all of whom assume those positions aboard the Yamato.
The USS Yamato had several more successful missions with her new crew before the vessel was called back in to undergo a major refit alongside the other surviving Constitution Class Heavy Cruisers.
