Description Commodore's log, October 27, 2158. We all knew this day'll come. But we were lucky. The Romulan invasion of Denobula gave us time to prepare. It's now or never. Losing this battle means certain defeat. It's us against them, at the front yard of our home. It's time to make a stand!


Commodore Archer's hastly log entry was dated fifteen minutes before the first Romulan ship dropped out of Warp near Mars. After destroying the Utopia Planitia shipbuilding facilities, the enemy proceeded toward Earth. Archer led the defence in command of Starfleet's Third Fleet. What he didn't know was that the Romulans planned a second wave of attack. Admiral Mindar, the mastermind behind the Romulan War, speculated that with the Third Fleet being tied up in battle with the main Romulan forces, the Second Fleet being away protecting the most important colonies and starbases, the remaining Earth defences would be crushed easily. Little did he know that Earth's "littoral combat" taskroce, the First Fleet, would make such a miraculous stand that it will shape the whole course of the War. Led by Captain Linus Randolph aboard Polaris, the First Fleet demolished the second Romulan taskforce utilizing the revolutionary dogfighting tactics. By the time Archer's Third Fleet has defeated the main Romulan armada, Randolph has claimed his own victory as well.
The Battle of Sol was a crushing defeat for the Romulans. They've lost their main-line battlecruisers, including all cloak-equipped variants. From that moment on, Earth was on the offensive side, pushing back the Romulans system by system. Once again, the undaunted Human race has made a stand.

One thing star trek seems to forget, how many millions of torpedo launchers and shield generators you can fit on a planet.

Yeah... Romulans would have likely ACTUALLY destroyed humanity at that time if they attacked... Β But a WONDERFUL and BEAUTIFUL painting this is though. Β  I love it. Β  Β  But the Romulans where at Warp level and war-waging far FAR longer than humanity at this point in Star Trek history. Β  (Not only into SW history. Β Grew up on Trek and Wars. Β  Β 

We would go down fighting, yeah. Β But we would fall I fear. Β Even up to the Sovereign Class Enterprises time, war with Romulus was something the Federation tried very hard to avoid.. Because they would attack Earth directly I feel.Β 


BTW... LOVE theΒ Daedalus Class Β ship you have in the background. Β Epic touch. Β  Β

Yeah, the Romulans are either scheming long or go hit-and-run and wipe out everything. Remember Nemesis? Okay, Shinzon was a Human clone raised as a Reman, but still leanred the Romulan art of war in the Dominion war. And he acted exactly like hat against Picard.

Oh yeah. Β Romulans are a very War-hungry government. Β Can't say ALL the people are... But their government sure is. Β  And the way they perceive the Federation as enemies has always had them concerned back on Earth. Β  Loved how Nemesis kinda put a spin on that and pushed it all to a head finally. leading to a hopeful peace in their future it looked like by the end. Β Β

Yay toΒ Linus Randolph and the First Fleet. Oh Archer did a good job as well.

I hope you plan to do some First Fleet shots soon showing their activities in the war.

This is an incredible picture! You need to read those books. And you also need to submit this to ships of the line. Doug Drexler would love to see this.

You really should! These books have their issues, I will admit, but the way the war plays out, oh man. I would love to see renders like these done from those books. Keep up the good work man.

Actually, none of these. The second wave was at a different "site", between Earth and the Moon.
