What was once seemingly impossible has suddenly become reality. The Breen, after having been defeated in the Dominion War, have ceased their border skirmishes and requested an opening of diplomatic negotiations with the Federation.

The current Embassy on Breen not having the level of importance required of this nature, Starfleet sends in its most experienced crew, liaison officers and diplomats in the sector. The USS Galaxy will be amongst this crew.

Escorting the Galaxy class starship into Breen space is the USS Miranda, a Pathfinder class starship bristling with the most current defenses along with its equally diverse crew. Captain Elaithin also successfully established the Treaty of Galvanis with the Romulans, so his experience here is also of great import.

Coupled with the more experienced Captain M'Kantu, the two ships are a formidable opponent.

They would also make a great prize, too. Are the Breen sincere in their request, or is something more potent and sinister at hand?

Old friends and forgotten enemies make appearances, and by mission's end, we can be sure they won't ever be brushed aside again.

The USS Galaxy-A has returned from Breen, beaten and battered into submission by the combined forces of the Hydrans, T`Kith`Kin, and Breen. Starfleet, instead of retiring the old girl, has instead accelerated her major refit cycle to put the plans for the Galaxy Class III into motion based on the new information of the combined threat.

In the meantime, while she undergoes the estimated 3 month refit, her crew has been scattered throughout the quadrant on various assignments, shore leaves, or search and rescue missions for lost crew members during the conflict.

These are their stories.

Written by various writers.

It's been three months since the Breen, Hydran, and T`Kith`Kin combined forces announced their alliance openly at Havras, with the end result of the Galaxy being refitted a year earlier after having been brought to the verge of utter destruction. The crew, having been spread out to all corners of the Federation, have come home to a new ship, and new adventure.

The Galaxy departs Starbase 212 to undergo warp stress tests as it is assigned to deliver personnel and equipment to Trill. Not all goes as planned though, as the crew are forced to deal with a strange situation that could result in tragic circumstances. Trials and tribulations await as they must undergo a Rite of Passage in order to complete their mission and perhaps save a species in the process.

In a horrifying and unprovoked attack, terrorists strike against the Trill homeworld. StarFleet sends their ship of the line: the fabled USS Galaxy, to render humane assistance, secure the sector and investigate. As the countdown to another disaster looms, the Galaxy's investigation yields the unbelievable: the one responsible may be one of their own!

The border with the Hydran Sovereignty has been silent since 2310, when the Hydrans participated in Operation: Unity against the Andromedans. The claim to the systems on the Federation/Hydran border has been ambiguous at best, but with no contact for the past 70 years, both governments were content to ignore the problem and look toward other issues.

Until now, that is. The USS Galaxy is en-route to Deep Space 5 carrying a replacement commander when Captain M’Kantu is contacted by Rear Admiral Robert Lee Price. Price briefs Captain M’Kantu about the Archaeological investigation into the remains of an ancient civilization on Mirusa Six, a desert world, and informs him that there has been a report of a recent Hydran military presense at the dig site.

Thankfully, the report found its way to members of Starfleet aware of the Battle of Havras and its ramifications. Based on the Hydran’s presense at the Battle of Havras, Admiral Price orders the USS Galaxy to the Mirusa System to keep an eye on the Hydrans and determine their intentions.
