Circumstances in the Menthar Corridor have changed a great deal since the {{USS|Mercury}} was assigned five years before the arrival of the ''Invicta''. At that time, the ''Mercury'' was allowed in the Corridor thanks to a special arrangement with the Cardassian Union’s ruling Detapa Council. Though the [[Breen|Breen Confederacy]] and [[Tholian|Tholian Assembly]] also bordered the Corridor, interactions with those powers was limited. Little to nothing was known about the history of the region and the major species and polities that existed to the galactic west of known space. In short, the time was ripe for exploration.
A vast region bordered on the galactic north by the [[Breen Confederacy]], the [[Tholian Assembly]] to the south, and the [[Cardassian Union]] to the east, the Menthar Corridor has in recent years taken greater prominence within the realm of interstellar politics with the founding of Astrofori One, bringing the major powers of the Federation, the [[Romulan]]s, the Breen, and the [[Kubarey]] to one diplomatic hub, united in the pursuit of understanding as never before.


Five years later, the ''Invicta'' still has a lot of work to do. The successful founding of [[Astrofori One]] means that the major powers of the Corridor, as well as those nearby, including the Federation, the [[Romulan]]s, the Breen, and the [[Kubarey]], are united in the pursuit of diplomatic understanding as never before. Gone are the days when Starfleet vessels could explore the Corridor independently: Thanks to the high profile of Astrofori One, the eyes of two quadrants are on the ''Invicta'' and her crew as they explore farther, delve more deeply, and push the boundaries of knowledge, understanding, and diplomacy than ever before.
Meanwhile, the ''Invicta'' and her support vessels have been tasked with continuing to explore farther into the uncharted areas of the Corridor.

Cardiff class USS Invicta

A vast region bordered on the galactic north by the Breen Confederacy, the Tholian Assembly to the south, and the Cardassian Union to the east, the Menthar Corridor has in recent years taken greater prominence within the realm of interstellar politics with the founding of Astrofori One, bringing the major powers of the Federation, the Romulans, the Breen, and the Kubarey to one diplomatic hub, united in the pursuit of understanding as never before.

Meanwhile, the Invicta and her support vessels have been tasked with continuing to explore farther into the uncharted areas of the Corridor. With the USS Mercury and USS Garuda having previously explored systems in the Corridor near the Cardassian border for the past several years, the Invicta now heads south, entering the Tholians and Talarians' spheres of influence, which brings along new challenges given that both species having harbored tensions with the Federation in the past.
