Yesteryear (ST:BH)

Yesteryear is a story written as part of the Star Trek: Shiloh Fan Fiction Website but now is part of the Star Trek: Black Hawk Fan Fiction Website. It is a continuation of Way of the Warriors and set between the destruction of the USS Shiloh and Higdon's assignment on Starbase Rockford. A more fractured version is found on the Duras Sisters Alien Pub of Sin Yahoo! RPG Group.

The story starts about two month after the destruction of the Shiloh. Jeff Higdon, the former commander, has been cleared of any wrong-doing in the destruction of his starship and is recommended for reassignment to command another starship. He also been promoted to the rank of Fleet Captain although his brevet commission as an Admiral has never been recinded.

Higdon's wife, Karen has been assigned to USS Black Hawk, a Black Hawk class starship that is being constructed in Earth orbit. Commander Robert Baker has also been assigned to the ''Black Hawk. Higdon has yet to be assigned to a starship command as there is not a command available.

Meanwhile reports reach Higdon that Admiral Kijo of the Cha'ouw Empire has disappeared. As Higdon reads this report, on Hades VI, Captain K'Paw goes in search of his father and also disappears.

Worried about his career as a starship captain as well as his friend, Higdon and his wife settles into their home outside Winneford, Illinois, for a night's sleep. Then Higdon is disturbed out his sleep to find he is not on Earth anymore.

He finds that he has been somehow transported to Hades VI in a paralell universe and is in his specal combat armor, designed by the Cha;ouw and enhansed by Starsfleet. He is confronted by a graying old man who is in excellent health who actually reveils himself to be a member of the "Guardians", Q Continuum like beings of this universe. A disturbance of the "Force" (never explained) has lead to recruiting Higdon to help. Higdon confronts the Guardian who takes him imeadiately to a cave where two men are talking to young boy hold a book. Both men look like Guardian although one has a beard that reinds Higdon of "Robert E. Lee. This Guardian is actually a Q from Higdon's universe and is referred to by the other, who is called Guardian.  Higdon then recognizes the boy as himself at 8 years old, when he was involved in what he thought was a transporter accident (as the version of the Guardian with him reveals) and is told by Q he has done well and completed the task he was sent on.  Guardian (the one with Q) says he will now loose the powers of the Guardianship as he will be returned to the moment of his transport, but reveals that he will be a great starship captain in the future, which excites the boy.  As the boy disappears, the Guardian with Q fades as Q turns around and joins Higdon and Guardian.  Q'' then tells Higdon that his mission concerns something lost, where Higdon finds himself in a forrest by a stream.

Higdon finds an older Kijo and his son, K'Paw, who do not seem to be who they were. It ends up that Higdon is forced to fight for Kijo and K'Paw's life, as well as his own, by a benevolant being that plans to conqueor both universes through his hidden arsenal on the planet.
