IN THE 23RD CENTURY.....
Klingon raiders, Orion pirates and Gorn hunters have been problems along the Neutral Zone and the Federation's Rim for decades, but a fragile political balance has held fast since the 2260's. The Federation maintains peace and authority on its side of the Neutral Zone with a chain of deep space stations.
Deep Space Station Lambda-2 is one such outpost. It lies precariously close to Klingon space between Donatu and Arcanis Sectors. The Starship Proxima is part of Starfleet's first line of defense there. Recently refitted, the Proxima boasts the most advanced layout of the venerable Constitution-class starships to date.
Genesis
Project Genesis and its fallout has dramatically altered- by some reckoning, destroyed- any semblance of the status quo. The Klingons are sure its a weapon. Various criminal syndicates want to steal the technology. Some Federation worlds are uncomfortable with the idea.
Klingon raiders- often from Houses D'Ghor, Kor and Duras- have begun brazenly violating the Neutral Zone to harass shipping and test Federation mettle. There is even concern that Romulan agents could be attempting to pit the Klingons and Federation against one another. The Hegemony remains enigmatic to their neighbors and care little about this "world-making," but sense an opportunity to restock the larders of their hunting ships and hatchery worlds.

Captain Marcus Sullivan stood behind the center command chair, his dark brown eyes scanning the information as it scrolled across the viewscreen, which was usually a field of stars but now displayed the latest reports from the Federation News Network. The headlines made for grim reading: "GENESIS PLANET DESTROYED IN PROTOMATTER CASCADE" and "SUBSPACE SHOCKWAVES DETECTED THROUGHOUT MUTARA SECTOR."
Thirty minutes ago, the Science Officer had detected enormous energy readings in the vicinity of the Genesis Planet, and now it seemed that what had started as Dr. Marcus's attempt to create…

[USS Saratoga]
[Captain's Guest Quarters]
Captain Mac Sullivan had felt the subtle shift in the deck plating beneath his feet even before the intercom crackled to life. After twenty years around starships, his body had developed an almost supernatural awareness for the transition from warp to impulse - that moment when the steady thrum of warp coils gave way to the gentler pulse of impulse engines.
He moved to the viewport in his temporary quarters aboard the USS Saratoga, watching the stars snap back into their familiar pinpoints of light. The sensation always reminded him of those early flight lessons…
