Space is dark. Let's face it.

The universe of shiny, well-groomed Starfleet officers and the pristine starships of the United Federation of Planets where the Prime Directive rules and hopes for galactic unity of all species is an ongoing quest is reinterpreted in our vision of the reality of the Star Trek Universe. It's not all "let's be friends with our alien brethren". Here the Federation has a dark underbelly and the daring crew of the Nosferatu boldly goes where Starfleet fears to tread.

These are desperate times.
We are the desperate measure.

About eight years ago, Starfleet discovered a wormhole hidden in orbit above Union III. The Gateway, which had been constructed in ancient times by the extinct Iconians, led to the heart of the Delta Quadrant--remote territory even by galactic standards. Command immediately recognized the strategic and moral importance of exploring this far-flung new frontier, so it created a new task force and assigned it to the region. Their mission was the usual one: explore strange new worlds, boldly go, and come back in one piece. Then do it again.

The U.S.S. Excelsior, fourth starship to bear the name, is the standard-bearer of that task force. These are her stories.

“In the darkest reaches of the United Federation of Planets, an isolated station stands sentinel over a neglected frontier. Commissioned long ago with high hopes, its promise is now all but forgotten; a lonely outpost serving as the gateway to the vast expanse beyond, where discovery…and adventure…await..”
