The following is a compilation of mission summaries from both current and prior commanding officers of the USS Drake:

2389 Missions

"Null Space" (Stardate 238902.05)

The Drake emerges from spacedock at Utopia Planitia after a long-overdue refit, boasting some new systems and some new crew. A detachment of Marines is deployed to the Drake to form a specialized Search-and-Rescue, and Engineering receives a team from the Starfleet Corps of Engineers. As these officers join the crew, however, others unexpectedly depart: a shuttlecraft carrying the Chief of Security, Lt. Commander David Whale, goes missing somewhere between Earth and Alpha Centauri. Furthermore, Captain Kare'en is reassigned at the last moment, leaving Commander William Rogers in the big chair. Commander Rogers uses their scheduled shakedown cruise to look for Whale, but while conducting the search, the ship encounters an anomaly which draws her into a realm the crew have dubbed "null space," where the laws of the universe are askew.
