		“He is great to us who has learning.” Mahabharata, Book 3

The USS Garuda, NCC-73809, is a Galaxy class starship under the command of Captain Cassandra Egan Manno. The Garuda is currently assigned to the Menthar Corridor, a region of space between the Cardassian Union, Breen Confederacy and Tholian Assembly, via a special arrangement with the Cardassian Union's ruling Detapa Council. Her primary mission is to explore the space that is poorly known to the Federation and explore the furthest reaches of the Alpha Quadrant. As a Galaxy class starship, the Garuda is a deep space science and exploration vessel, designed to run missions for long periods of time without support; it is a single-ship exploratory taskforce.

The Galaxy class USS Garuda

Captain Egan Manno was assigned as the commanding officer of the Garuda in late 2390 after the near-destruction of the previous ship assigned to the Menthar Corridor, the USS Mercury, and the apparent disappearance of the Mercury’s commanding officer, Aron Kells, during the Gateway Crisis of 2390. Deep Space 10, an ancient space station discovered by the Mercury crew, functions as the Garuda's operating base.

The Garuda finds herself in a unique situation. Starfleet Security and Intelligence have their eyes on the unstable, shifting Cardassian government, still rebuilding in the aftermath of the Dominion War. They believe that the Garuda crew has an unmatched opportunity to use the ship’s enhanced capabilities to provide constant reports. Yet, should the balance of power in the Cardassian Union tip, the situation could quickly turn sour, leaving the Garuda and her crew in a very dangerous predicament.

What new and diverse wonders does the Menthar Corridor hold? Will relations with the Cardassians continue to improve? Will the presence of the Garuda lead to better relationships with the reclusive Tholians and the aggressive Breen? What of the new species and new civilizations the Garuda might discover, including the Kubarey, the Myr Luuk, and the Community? And what, perhaps most importantly, of the ancient Menthar and Alliance of extinct races associated regions, the races who once built wonders and carved out great empires in the stars? The Garuda and her crew are certain to find out -- as they explore beyond the reaches of known space.
