U.S.S. Hamilton NCC-1145

• Stardate Unknown: Situated near the Federation's border with the Romulan Empire, Carina VII is an idyllic world with lush forests, a pleasant climate, and abundant resources. Until recently, Morgan's Hope, the colony's capital, had thrived, but in the last year, strange events have been occurring: people residing on the planet have aged rapidly, structures that should have lasted for decades crumble in days, and crops that were planted in the morning mature overnight and are rotten before the next afternoon. Even more disturbing, the colonists are spreading rumors that Romulans have been sighted in the system. A Starfleet ship is dispatched to Carina VII to investigate the cause of the rapid aging.

Omned III

• Stardate Unknown: A Starfleet ship is called away to intervene and mediate a dispute that has erupted on Omned III, a Class M planet on the border between the Federation and the Talarian Republic. Inhabited by the Shean, Omned III is teetering on the brink of civil conflict: the Shean are infected with a parasite that causes them to age at a vastly accelerated rate. A vaccine prevents this debilitating disorder from taking hold, but in the last month, it has failed to take effect. With unprotected newborns suffering, and more recent cases of the disorder beginning to activate in adults, tensions between the upper and lower castes are at a breaking point.

• Stardate 48635.1 (19 August): A Starfleet vessel is on routine patrol when they receive orders to travel to the Takara system, where they will observe and provide security for the field testing of a new and improved high-yield quantum torpedo. They arrive and assist the head of the project, Dr. Ja'Brenn. The prototype is delivered to a derelict craft and activated, but before it can be tested, rogue Klingon birds of prey attack the ship, steal the prototype, and destroy the derelict ship before breaking off and fleeing toward Romulan space. Starfleet Command orders the Player Characters to track the Klingons and retrieve the torpedo before they enter the Neutral Zone and defuse a confrontation between the Takarans and Romulans.
