As a new starship, the USS Excalibur has been put through its paces, but never in deep space. As a testbed for numerous new technologies, including a slipstream drive, the ship offers endless possibilities for exploration. And now, with a cure to the Romulan plague found, it's time to explore. Starfleet Command's orders are simple; engage the drive and explore, test the technology, and gather data. But even with simple directives like that, things aren't always as simple as might be hoped. | |||
Somewhere, on the other side of the Romulan Empire, a strange alliance of previously unmet races fights for their very survival. Though capable of warp travel and deep space exploration, the people remain relatively close to home with their small fleet of mostly transport ships and one large space station located halfway between the furthest distance they travel. Orbiting the central planet of the small trade alliance that had been built over the years, they did what they could to stay out of the business of surrounding races and space, enjoying solitude and peace because of it. | |||
But as it sometimes does, trouble found them anyways. | |||
A violent spatial phenomenon is growing nearby. The scientists can't figure out what's going on, and their ships don't have the capability to study the event effectively. Results of the phenomenon are starting to wear on the population of all of the planets involved in the trade alliance; ships have been lost with entire shipments, without a trace, electronic disruptions are preventing solid communications, and those who live and work on the station are all but trapped after the last wave of evacuation shuttles simply pops out of existence. | |||
As the Excalibur races through space, slipstream drive engaged, it is this phenomenon that drags them out of the slipstream and suddenly creates chaos aboard. Similar to the Alliance station and ships/planets in the nearby area, the ship experiences power fluctuations to the extreme and strange, sometimes personal, occurrences that no one can explain. Now, the crew must figure out where they are, what's going on, and attempt to make contact with an alliance of races that hasn't had outside contact for hundreds of years, or risk annihilation in the process. | |||
