The ships of the Cold
Death Quadrant have been very active during the past several months.
The 2007 event season kicked off with MarsCon, which was attended by
both the IKV Rakehell and IKV Warhammer. The Rakehell threw
an excellent room party and much fun was had by all, despite the lower
than usual turnout that resulted from a snow storm that rolled in on
Friday. That storm cut the route for many far travelers to
the con. Report at: http://www.kowabunga.org/kagcdq/index.php?title=Marscon_2007
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the original broadcast of the
first Klingon Episode of Trek, Mordokk played host at MiniCon to a "Day
of Honor" party. This was more of a
social event with a viewing of some TOS episodes (we had some technical
difficulties with the DVD player). Report at: http://www.kowabunga.org/kagcdq/index.php?title=Day_of_Honor%2C_2007
The IKV Rakehell also fielded a team at the Misfits annual Trivia
Competition. The team was lead by Qe'pa, and competed against
seven other teams. We did not win. Report at: http://www.kowabunga.org/kagcdq/

The Black Thunder has been active in Iowa with DemiCon, and also made
the trek up to the Twin Cities to join the Rakehell and Warhammer for
the annual fun and mayhem at Convergence. This is the big
event in the area as Convergence has consistently attracted over 2500
fans in the past few years and keeps getting bigger.
The Rakehell put on a performance of "Kaptain Kang's Killer Thriller
Theater" to the delight of many con-goers. This fun skit mixed in some
video with the stage performance with great effect.
The Warhammer hosted its annual Bat'leth Tournament on Saturday morning
of Convergence with a fairly good turn out of participants. Fame,
prizes and fortune, well, prizes anyway, were had to the victors.
The Kronos Hunt Klub (aka the Rutting Tribble) was the main evening
hangout for the members of the Cold Death Quadrant when we were not
raiding other parties, harassing the Romulans or hunting
tribbles. Pictures and a report for the event are at: http://www.kowabunga.org/kagcdq/index.php?title=Convergence_2007
The retaking of Wisconsin is being spearheaded by Robert Poole, working
with the local Feddie Marines. There are some plans for a
convention invasion sometime in 2008. This may result in a
large scale deployment of ships from the rest of the quadrant to help
get things going in our neighboring state.

Cold
Death Quadrant Site v2
The Cold Death Quadrant website has been
completely revamped and revitalized. The base content management system
is Mediawiki, the same system used to run Wikipdeia and Memory Alpha.
The site contains some new features including a Mission Muster section
to track who is attending which events (which can be used to help with
things like ride sharing to events), leveraging the mySQL database to
track events and members, with PHP front end programming to generate
the content into the website. After Event Reports are also being
featured on the new site.
New to the site is a Klingon Warrior Haiku, which was recently added;
submissions of Klingon Haiku are welcome from all who aspire to be
Klingon Warriors.
My
bat’leth is sharp,
my disruptor is ready,
let’s kick Feddie butt!
