The Romulan government, still fighting for stability since Shinzon's eradication of the Senate, is at an apex. Tal'Aura's departure and the rise of the Romulan Naval Intelligence has caused shifting alliances to further entrench the various political entities into securing their control over various aspects of Romulan society.

They are at their least effective while progressing towards a new government when outside forces take the most interest in this once-powerful Empire and its inability to function cohesively. Rebellions on outer worlds, treachery in the ranks, and banded enemies advance on the homeworld for retribution. The 2nd Galae, Romulus' greatest fleet, is destroyed to a man by a new and terrifying weapon while defending against the advance.

Romulus appeals to Starfleet and the Federation for assistance, and they respond by assembling a task force of over a dozen of their most powerful ships, consisting of the starships Miranda, Galaxy, Arizona, Concorde, Typhon, Texas, Mukaikubo, Icarus, Thunderchild, Akira, Hood, Vigilant and Sao Paolo.

Will it be enough to stave off one of the largest invasion forces since the Dominion War? And what kind of future does it hold for Romulus?

 

Five years ago, Captain Robert Price of the USS Galaxy negotiated an uneasy non-aggression treaty between the Federation and the Borg, saving countless lives and hundreds of worlds. In that time, many new enemies have stepped out of the shadows with one mission: To destroy. Now, after years of peace, one senseless act has awakened the sleeping giant once more...

The Borg are back.

Everyone knows the story of Surak, and how his teachings revolutionized Vulcan society over two thousand years ago. Although his teachings were very popular with the majority of Vulcans, a small minority still existed that rejected Surak's philosophy. A destructive war began between the two groups, and one of the victims was Surak himself.

Eventually those who opposed logic built a fleet of twenty far travel ships and left Vulcan in search of a new home. Each ship housed the entirety of a major clan and carried 5000-6000 passengers each for a total of 120,000 separatists.

However, by the time the separatists found their new home, only six ships remained. The fate of the other fourteen ships remains largely a mystery...

MANSLAUGHTER is coming.

I am coming to the USS Galaxy, and though I do not remember from whence I came, you will not soon forget the death and destruction that follows in my footsteps.

I walk unseen, unheard, and able to slip by the most advanced security systems in Starfleet. You will be forced to rely on your wits alone to outsmart me, one of the most capable killing machines ever trained.

I am MANSLAUGHTER.

In my wake blood and tears will flow.

Alliances and wars have separated the powers of the alpha quadrant into the Triad: the Breen, T'Kith'Kin and the Hydrans, and the Federation and her allies: the Klingons, the Romulans and the Cardassians. Tensions have been building for years. Less than a year ago, the Romulan empire was gutted when an invasion force captured the Romulan homeworld. The Federation and the Klingons helped liberate Romulus, but it will take decades before the empire reaches its former strength and glory.

Federation members have been waiting in fear. Would they be next? And, when would the inevitable attack occur?

When the Triad launched a three pronged attack: the T'Kith'Kin capturing Cardassia, the Breen taking Corvalis, and the Hydrans stepping into the Federation, that question was answered.

The Triad has declared war.

But not all is as it seems. The Hydrans, with just two warships, were able to take Deep Space Five in a matter of minutes. How were they able to defeat one of the Federation's largest starbases so easily? What fate awaits the civilians and crew that were on the station? Will they escape, or will they fight back? And, which battle will the Galaxy fight in?

The Quadrant War begins here!
