The year is 2264. The USS Defiant, a brand new Constitution Class vessel, has been assigned to the untamed Carinae Traverse, a region of space on the very fringes of Federation space waiting to be explored. The vast region surrounding the Carinae Nebula is home to a great number of cultures. Some are familiar faces. Others are being encountered for the first time.
New to the region, the United Federation has a very limited presence. Defiant stands as the primary ship assigned to a fledgeling starbase under construction, the lone defender to this fragile presence of the Federation, and the primary means of exploration. Join the crew on a brand new adventure as they explore the Traverse and shape the region and its politics.
