The Bastion was a 25th century Povini starship, a Q'Maire-class frigate in service in the 2410s decade. The ship's commanding officer was Egen Burren. It was the last known ship of the Povini species. (STO - New Frontiers mission: "Of Signs and Portents")
History[]
In 2410, the Bastion was part of the hastily assembled Povini fleet, one of fifty ships defending the homeworld Povin in the Mivic system. The Povini were no match for the attacking Tzenkethi Coalition fleet, which proceeded to obliterate every Povini vessel, but missed the disabled Bastion. The Bastion was unable to intervene when the Tzenkethi detonated a protomatter bomb on Povin's surface in an act of genocide.
Soon after, a trio of the Alliance ships, led by Captain Kuumaarke of the Lukari Concordium Ho'kuun-class science vessel LSS Reskava, discovered Povin on the trail of the Tzenkethi. Burren's distress call was the first contact between the Povini and another species. The Alliance ships supported the Bastion with engineers and supplies, and beamed all surviving Povini from escape pods in the debris field to Burren's ship.
Because the survivors on the Bastion represented the last members of their species, Captain Burren requested asylum with the Alliance. An Alliance officer granted the request, and directed the Bastion to Deep Space Station K-13 in the nearby 20 Draconis system. (STO - New Frontiers mission: "Of Signs and Portents")
The Reskava returned to the Mivic system with Povini survivors. In her captain's log, Captain Kuumaarke recorded on the 4th Reckoning, Chronicle 62 that the Povini survivors were divided over which version of Povin should be restored. (STO - Reckoning mission: "A Message From the Lukari II")
