About the adventure

Believed destroyed by the Borg at the Battle of Wolf 359 in 2367, the USS Kiseki was recently discovered adrift in the Shackleton Expanse, a mysterious and underexplored region of space bordered by the Romulan Star Empire, Klingon Empire, and the United Federation of Planets. There was no trace of the crew, and the last logs were made during the conflict with the Borg. Despite all we know, now in early 2371, and with all the areas of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants we have surveyed and mapped, there are still huge swaths of space still unknown to us. Even with the looming Dominion threat and the potential for another Borg incursion, exploration remains Starfleet’s primary mission. We look toward the uncharted regions of space and investigate them to push the boundaries of our knowledge, one sector at a time. The Shackleton Expanse, located far beyond the outer edges of Federation space and the Klingon sphere of influence, is one such region full of mystery and potential. The Federation, along with our firm allies the Klingon Empire, look toward exploring the Expanse together. To that end, we are launching a coordinated venture into the Expanse in order to gain knowledge, to seek out new allies, and to scout out candidate planets for colonization. The USS Kiseki has been refitted towards this purpose, and awaits a brand new crew at Starbase 364, also known as Narendra Station, headquarters to the joint Klingon-Federation operations for the Shackleton Expanse. As members of the command crew, you will explore this region while navigating the complex relationships between the Federation and Empire, as well as those with the Romulans, Orions, and the new Species you are sure to encounter within the Expanse.
