Changes: Avenal VII

Revision as of 04:18, 14 July 2014

Avenal VII was the inhabited seventh planet of the Avenal system. This system was located deep within Cardassian space, in the Alpha Quadrant.

In 2375, Gowron ordered General Martok to launch an ill-advised attack on this planet. The attack was a disaster, as the Klingons were outnumbered six to one: seven Klingon warships were destroyed, and five more severely damaged, with General Martok himself in the sickbay of the IKS Rotarran in critical condition. The attack was nothing short of a waste of ships, manpower and war materials for the allies. (DS9: "Tacking Into the Wind")

"AV-in-ell" was the pronunciation for this planet's name from the script pronunciation guide. [1]

According to the Star Trek: Star Charts, on page 46, the Avenal system was located in the Alpha Quadrant. This system was a binary star system. Primary was a Class B star with a magnitude of +1, which was 100 times brighter than Sol. Secondary was a Class B star.

-=== Background information ===
-With the [[Breen]] having recently entered the war on the side of the [[Dominion]], neither the [[Romulan Empire]] nor the [[Federation]] were able to be involved in any further battles, as the Breen [[energy dampening weapon]] left their vessels completely vulnerable to attack. For that reason, the [[Klingon]]s were left to hold their own against the Dominion until a countermeasure could be devised to protect the Federation and Romulan ships.

-It was during this time that [[Chancellor]] [[Gowron]] assumed command of the [[Klingon Defense Force]], thereby relieving [[General]] [[Martok]]. Gowron had hoped that while their allies were unable to attack, the [[Klingon Empire]] could attack the Dominion and end the war, allowing the Klingons to have all the glory of victory. He also suspected that the Dominion would not expect an attack from the [[Federation Alliance]] so soon after the Breen had entered the war. However, Gowron also had personal motivations for relieving Martok and assuming command of the Klingon forces: he wished to discredit Martok in the face of his fellow warriors in order to ensure that he would never challenge his rule as Chancellor. To do this, he intended to send Martok on impossible missions into Dominion territory, hoping he would fail miserably or be killed. One of these missions was the attack on Avenal VII.

-=== The attack ===
+[[nl:Avenal VII]]
-Martok's fleet consisted of a total of twelve ships. The plan was to have their vessels enter Cardassian space [[cloak]]ed until they reached the Avenal system, then for them to decloak and make their attack. However, Martok's small fleet was outnumbered six-to-one, odds which even he was unable to beat. In the end, the attack turned out to be a complete failure: seven Klingon ships were destroyed and the other five heavily damaged, with General Martok himself in the [[sickbay]] of the [[IKS Rotarran|IKS ''Rotarran'']] in critical condition. The attack was nothing short of a waste of ships, manpower and war materials for the allies. ({{DS9|Tacking Into the Wind}})
