Upon returning to Deep Space 17 after the destruction of the USS Independence-A, a promotion ceremony was held for the crew along with the unveiling of the newly constructed USS Tiger-A, the sixth Prometheus class vessel built in the Fleet. Chief Engineer Lieutenant JG Luna Walker received a commendation placed in her permanent record for her efforts in keeping the Independence running despite insurmountable opposition during their time in the Mirror Universe. Lieutenant Jade Shryker also received a commendation for her loyalty and dedication during the mission. She was also promoted to the position of Chief of Security. Ensigns Zinna and Velana were also promoted to LtJG and Velana was made Assistant Chief Medical Officer.
After the ceremony the crew began to recover from the ordeal in the Mirror Universe and began to explore their new home. Each of the crew dealt with their own feelings surrounding the loss of the Independence. Most of the crew began to replace personal items they had lost in an effort to bring some sense of normalcy back to their lives.
SD 238812: Lost in Camelot
After the unveiling of the new USS Tiger-A, its crew participated in a team building exercise in the holodeck. The mission centered around King Arthur and Camelot with each crew member assuming one of the characters from the historical account. Lt. Cmdr. Darius Clack was King Arthur while Captain Sidney Riley was Guinevere. The remainder of the crew made up the various members of Arthur’s Knights. The mission began with the goal of trying to locate Arthur’s sword Excalibur.
Halfway through the mission, Guinevere was thrown from her horse and had to be escorted out of the holodeck by several other crew members. Darius Clack continued the training mission with the remaining members of the crew despite the departure of the others. Captain Riley and others upon returning discovered a strange space like slug that threatened Eratis and the Deep Space 17 station itself. The entire crew was recalled as a result of the disturbing events that unfolded suddenly.

SD 238901: Vendetta
The USS Tiger-A crew’s team building mission to Camelot on the holodeck was cut short by the appearance of a strange new lifeform near the neutron star Eratis. The entity appeared to be feeding off the stars energy which had the potential to cause the stars collapse.
The situation was complicated by the appearance of Eratis, the queen of the Erati who live within the star. Eratis made contact with Captain Riley’s mind, and the situation continued to deteriorate as Romulan warbirds entered the system demanding the right to kill the creature they believed caused the explosion of Hobus.
The Romulan Commander however, following his own agenda, sent an operative to the Tiger to sabotage the ship and torture the crew. The Romulan spy led security on a wild goose chase through the ship to the holodeck, where half the crew were forced to participate in gladiator style games, during which Lt. W'tine was injected with an unknown substance that made him change into a massive creature. Meanwhile, the unknown entity continued to feed off energy from Eratis causing a crisis for the entire sector.
SD 238902: Tribulation
With half the crew missing and trapped on the holodeck and with the Romulans demanding justice the situation looked bleak. Just as a firefight was about to erupt between the Tiger and the Romulan ship, it was revealed the entire mission had been a holodeck team building simulation to determine if the crew was ready to undertake a new dangerous mission to the far reaches of the Ithassa Region.
The shocked crew were then put on shore leave to recover. Over the course of leave the crew worked on finding a cure for Lieutenant Eyas Wulfantine, who had been suffering from a long-term illness which caused a metamorphosis in his DNA structure. His condition was exacerbated from the incident in the holodeck. With the help of the medical staff and Lt.Cmdr. Wilde, he was able to make a full recovery. Several new crew members joined the team, while others used the time off to get to know each other better, which led to some unexpected romances and rivalries.
SD 238903: The Ithassa Triangle
The USS Tiger-A left Deep Space 17 on her maiden voyage, assigned to deep space exploration, and headed for uncharted areas of the Ithassa Region, near and beyond Tholian space. Before heading out on this long term mission, Deep Space 17 picked up a faint distress signal which appeared to be coming from a Tholian ship in an area called “The Triangle,” a region where instrumentation has been known to go haywire, ships have disappeared, and strange happenings cannot be explained.
En route to the location of the distress call, crew members researched what was known about the area of space as well as the Tholians. The possibility of an incident involving the Tholians was foremost in everyone's minds, and the crew made every effort to avoid such a scenario. It had been suggested that perhaps the Tholians were involved in nefarious activities outside of their space, possibility dealing with the use of tricobalt weapons.
Unbeknownst to the crew, Free Trade Union pirates are also in the area looking for treasure and opportunities. Their ship, the Morgan's Bounty however ran into an unknown object in space, and they had to send out a distress call.
SD 238904: Welcome to the Triangle
Upon arrival in the Ithassa Triangle, the Tiger was hit by metron radiation, and its effects began to manifest with some of the crew as well as with the shipboard equipment. The Tiger also encountered the Morgan's Bounty adrift in space and established communications with its captain Antilles Gillette. The Tiger prepared to send an away team led by Lt.Cmdr. Tracey Townson to help with repairs and to deal with the radiation. A second, much larger vessel or station, was also detected, but with reduced sensor abilities, the Tiger was unable to confirm the identity of the object.
SD 238905: Infestation
Aboard the Morgan's Bounty, the away team found a somewhat receptive (and deceptive) crew. The Starfleet officers offered their assistance with repairs and medical treatment.
Meanwhile aboard the Tiger, metron radiation had begun to alter the crew’s perceptions. Console readings would be appear accurate to one, and yet be completely different to another. Engineering was still reeling from the radiation as well, which had caused intermittent loss of power in certain sections.
The other distress signal had come from a nearby Tholian station, the K’Tharkk. The station was tearing itself apart, and the remaining crew and supplies had been forced into a single room. Infested with an unknown disease and plagued by a station rapidly cooling, the Tholians were near death. However, without a functioning radiation shield, the Tiger was unable to assist. Circumstances went from bad to worse as the Morgan’s Bounty collided with the K’Tharkk. Fortunately, this also brought the vessels together close enough to communicate, and before long the Tiger was able to beam aboard the Tholian survivors, as well as those on the Morgan’s Bounty before the FTU vessel was overrun and then destroyed by a strange race of insectoid creatures.
