An alternate universe version of the Artemis' crew - one of the last bastions of the Interstellar Commonwealth's Military - throw themselves into a last-ditch mission to steal a reality-warping weapon from the alien species known as the Shint, who has all but conquered the known galaxy after thirty years of devestating war.
Wanting a chance to put the Artemis through its paces and give the crew a chance to test their own mettle, Commander MacKenzie split the senior crew into two teams, assigning half to the borrowed USS Berlin for a training exercise in a nearby nebula. Both crews must quickly shift focus when a band of Suliban board the Artemis while their ship attacks the Berlin.
The Artemis was dispatched to the Da'al homeworld to assist with relief efforts following a meteor impact, which left approximately 10,000 Da'al dead and thousands more wounded and/or unhomed.
