An uncontacted civilization gains the attention of Starfleet when a comet, emitting a particularly rare type of radiation, begins hurtling towards the planet. For Shayne, this began as just another mission. Fate would ensure that it did not resolve in a way he could have predicted in his most wild imaginings. Before arriving to assess the situation with the comet, the ''Juneau'' came across an abandoned Starfleet vessel, the ''Saber'' Class USS ''Arrow'', adrift, lifeless, abandoned and inexplicable. Shayne, only just beginning to adapt to his new and far more advanced vessel, was tasked with investigating the ''Arrow'' for clues about its status. Aboard, evidence of a firefight is made plain, and evidence of a panicked abandoning of the vessel are scattered. Several scavenging parties have already begun to rip the vessel apart, and the away team is forced to contend with them, even as the evidence of something catastrophic, including a cryptic message from the vessel's former captain, continued to mount. With the ship finally secured, but unable to stay under the protection of ''Juneau'', Captain Oddas ordered Cmdr. Shayne to take temporary command of the ''Arrow'', and escort her to the nearest Federation starbase. With a skeleton crew from ''Juneau'', Shayne set off onboard the old, dilapidated Dominion War holdout toward friendlier territory. | An uncontacted civilization gains the attention of Starfleet when a comet, emitting a particularly rare type of radiation, begins hurtling towards the planet.

What began as a simple relaying milkrun for Shayne and the crew of the Starship Arrow quickly became a sickening nightmare. Despite ''Arrow's'' disrupted state, the sudden and inexplicable reception of millions of distress calls from the Alpha Isles (a region of space poorly explored by the Federation as a result of its crowded interplanetary political scene and hostile bearing).
