While on patrol in deep space the Saratoga encounters something unexpected: a pod of gormaganders. An endangered species, the crew decide to observe the alien animals as they travel to their breeding grounds in a nearby asteroid field. The trouble is that a Kzinti ship is in the area and the gormaganders are their prime targets.

Following the destruction of the Starship Discovery, Starfleet Command needed a tactical edge over the Klingon Empire. Partnering with Bendes Kettaract, the Theoretical Propulsion Group began work on a revolutionary new engine capable of propelling a starship at incredible speeds. They failed and their prototype - the Starship Audacious - ripped open the fabric of subspace, making an entire sector of space impassable.

Two days ago, Starfleet Command detected the prototype for the first time in over a century adrift in the Maelstrom, in territory claimed by the Romulan Free State! Now it's up to the crew of the Saratoga to recover the Audacious before it's too late.

Following the disastrous events of Frontier Day, the Federation has relaunched the Starship Saratoga to serve as the flagship of the Maelstrom Sector.

While returning home, the crew has been diverted to investigate a distress call from a world on the outskirts of the Maelstrom. Little is known about the nature of the emergency except that scans show that that region is flooded with unique radiation signatures unlike those previously encountered within the zone. Can the crew solve this mystery before it's too late?

The race to the stars has begun, and the universe is not ready for the truth.

Years after their first encounter with the Federation was suppressed, the Malcorians have taken their destiny into their own hands. But when a privately funded warp vessel suffers a catastrophic reactor meltdown deep in the void, the U.S.S. Saratoga is thrust into a chaotic, unplanned "second contact."

What begins as a rescue mission quickly turns into a standoff. The survivors, terrified and clinging to suppressed legends of alien visitation, view their rescuers not as saviors, but as an existential threat. As the crew of the Saratoga works to stabilize a ticking time bomb of a ship, they realize the distress call was merely the spark for a desperate, corporate-fueled space race.

With multiple experimental vessels launching into orbit—some destined to burn in the atmosphere, others hurtling blindly toward the Saratoga—the crew finds themselves in the middle of a planetary panic. They must balance the preservation of life with the Prime Directive, attempting to salvage a diplomatic crisis while a civilization is forced to confront the reality of a universe they were told didn't exist.

In the silence of space, the truth can be as destructive as a meltdown.

A rescue mission behind enemy lines turns into a high-stakes standoff between a fractured family and a ticking clock.

When the U.S.S. Saratoga receives a desperate distress signal from deep within the Neutral Zone, the mandate is clear: rescue the survivors of a failing Romulan listening post before it detonates. But for one officer on board, this mission is far from routine. As the crew navigates the treacherous border, they find themselves caught in the middle of a volatile reunion between a high-ranking official and his estranged son.

The situation spirals into chaos when the Saratoga discovers that the outpost’s destruction was not an accident, but a calculated act of sabotage—a trap set to lure them into enemy territory. With Romulan Warbirds closing in and the Admiral’s judgment clouded by personal vendettas, the crew must act fast to maintain order.

Caught between the rigid demands of a compromised superior, the conflicting loyalties of a divided family, and the encroaching shadow of the Tal Shiar, the Saratoga faces an impossible choice. To escape, they must untangle a web of secrets before they become the latest casualties of a war that has already begun in the dark.

Loyalty is a choice. But in the Neutral Zone, it might be the last one you ever make.

In the shadow of Ferenginar, justice is a commodity—and the price of innocence has never been higher.

When a routine diplomatic transfer concludes, the crew of the U.S.S. Saratoga is drawn into a desperate rescue mission. A brilliant researcher, rumored to have developed a revolutionary system capable of manipulating the galaxy’s most lucrative gambling markets, has been abducted by a ruthless opportunist. What begins as a search through the rain-drenched streets of a sprawling, alien metropolis quickly spirals into a nightmare.

Upon locating the target, the crew discovers they are already too late. The researcher is dead, and the tools of the trade have vanished.

Branded as high-level saboteurs by the ruthless authorities of the sector, the officers find themselves fugitives on a world where gold-pressed latinum dictates the law. With a massive bounty placed on their heads and the evidence meticulously staged against them, the crew must unravel a sophisticated conspiracy before they are silenced for good.

As they navigate a web of corruption and high-stakes greed, the crew discovers a chilling truth: they were never invited to help—they were brought in to take the fall.

One final gamble. One chance to clear their names. And a system that was built to kill.

On a world rich with resources, the truth is the most valuable commodity.

A planet fractured by civil war is saturated with a unique mineral that renders Starfleet’s most reliable technology useless. When the government leader appeals to the Federation for intervention, citing a brutal insurgency armed with sophisticated foreign weaponry, the crew of the U.S.S. Saratoga arrives to broker peace.

But the deeper they venture into the planet’s turbulent interior, the more the narrative falls apart. Between the interference of a rogue Klingon house and a government leader desperate to secure a monopoly on power, the crew realizes they are being played. What was presented as a humanitarian mission is revealed to be a complex web of betrayal, where soldiers disguise themselves as rebels to justify a reign of terror and secure an illicit alliance.

Stranded on the surface and unable to rely on transporters, the crew must navigate a landscape of deception and looming open warfare. They must untangle a conspiracy that threatens to ignite a conflict between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, all while discerning who the true aggressor is before the entire world is burned for its own wealth.

In a war built on lies, the peace treaty may be the deadliest weapon of all.

In the shadow of a shifting frontier, diplomacy is a trial by fire.

When a spatial anomaly redraws the borders of the Federation and the Talarian Republic, a volatile rogue warship seizes the opportunity to strike at a vulnerable colony. The U.S.S. Saratoga is tasked with a desperate mission: host a Talarian delegation, track the renegade vessel, and prevent an interstellar war before a single shot is fired.

But the mission is a minefield of deception. As the Saratoga navigates the wreckage of a compromised freighter and the shifting loyalties of their own guests, the crew discovers that their "allies" are testing them at every turn. Caught in a high-stakes cat-and-mouse game, the Saratoga soon finds itself staring down a Talarian flotilla, with the fate of an innocent colony hanging on a razor’s edge.

To prevent the bloodshed, the crew must confront a culture that values strength above all else. They must navigate the brutal reality of their guests' history and prove their worth not through weaponry, but by mastering the grueling, hyper-competitive tests of a society that views peace as the ultimate challenge.

On the edge of the frontier, the only way to win is to survive the test.
