Premise
Stardate the 25th Century…
The ravages of time have taken their toll upon the Milky Way Galaxy. After almost a decade of peace the historic Federation Alliance has become broken and shattered. Brutal infighting and bitter racial divides from eras past have reared their ugly heads once again threatening the fragile system. In silence the hard won peace has given way to a deafening destruction as the powerless have grown stronger and once great civilizations have been led to the brink of devastation.
The United Federation of Planets is not immune and is facing one of its greatest struggles since its founding. With the unprecedented growth of the Core Worlds those on the frontier continue to face only hardship and pain. More and more traditional values and individual freedoms are being infringed in the name of safety as more and more power is given to Starfleet and its forces. Former friends have become bitter enemies as the Klingons and the Romulans have joined forces intent on expanding their powerbase in the Beta Quadrant, while the Federation family itself starts to crack under the weight of its own history.
With dangers lurking all around an idea was born to return to the ideals of the past to secure the Federation's future. Under the orders of President Gruzy and the Federation Council, Starfleet Headquarters has revived the concept of the Starfleet Expeditionary Group. These groups of ships have been launched with one purpose: to seek out new life and new civilizations as they explore the galaxy. The most famous group of which is Battle Group Omega. Led by a dedicated team of explorers and diplomats from the decks of the infamous Starship Enterprise, these intrepid heroes will ensure that the Federation continues to go boldly where none have gone before as they embrace the values of the Federation's past…

The Klingons have reached out to the Son’a about membership in their Empire, which would become a dangerous threat to the Federation if accomplished.

But when a fleet of Klingon ships approaches intent on taking the Son’a bases as their own the threat of war grows ever closer.
