The Francis Years

O' the Cardiff Rose

The war with Dominion cast a long shadow for the denizens of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. Wartime saw the presence of piracy and raider outfits diminished from wherever their scourge took hold. After many years, the steady uptick of criminals preying on the merchants and civilian traffic has raised alarms. Attacks by the Orion Syndicate, former Obsidian Order mercenaries, Klingon Ex-Pats, Ferengi Business privateers, Yridians sneaking around… and nobody should ever forget about those masters of espionage, the Tal Shiar. A return to the cloak and daggers, Gallant crews answering the call for help as pirates operate in secrecy to amass their fortunes once more. How will Starbase 109 serve in its capacity to protect the Federation, and will the Triangle return to its once volatile days? Could the resurgence of the Second Sons, tie together with the recent attacks? One thing is certain, the black flags fly once more.

The Phoenix Gamble

After the rescue of a mysterious ship, Starbase 109 is attacked and crippled. Now everyone on the Starbase must make a difficult and personal choice that could lead them to redemption, or total annihilation. Can the people of Starbase 109 unite against devastating odds? Or is this finally the end?

In Memory of Susan.

From The Ashes

The Delavi Expanse exists in a far corner from Federation space. A once peaceful hub for good and bad alike, they now face being conquered by a group known only as the Ravagers.

Starbase 109 lies very close to the Expanse, and some there have advocated for the Delavian people to bring Starfleet into the conflict to save them, but to no avail.

After a major terrorist attack hits and cripples the station, it begins to appear their foes the Second Sons might be forming an alliance with the Ravagers, bringing Delavi's threat right to the Federation's doorstep.

Despite pleas for help--now from Delavi and Starbase 109 alike--the Federation officially remains steadfast in not getting involved. As more adversaries reveal themselves, the crew comes to a frightening realization: Starbase 109 is on its own!
