USS Orion

Light This Candle

Exploring a pre-warp civilisation, the Orion's crew are both intrigued and excited by the prospect of an old-fashion space race!

Mission Description

In the depths of the Delta Quadrant, the Orion crew embarks on a high-stakes observational mission to study the Virellans—a pre-warp civilisation on the brink of reaching for the stars. Three powerful nations—Selvar, Arven, and Iskari—race against time and each other to claim Mariv, a habitable moon that promises untold resources and prestige. As tensions flare and ambitions soar, Orion’s crew must walk a razor-thin line between silent observation and the lure of intervention. 

When Captain Mo’Lee-Krabreii sends an undercover away team to the surface, they find themselves entangled in a volatile web of political intrigue, sabotage, and desperate gambits threatening to ignite a war. With history in the making and the fate of a species hanging in the balance, the crew of Orion must ensure the Virellans’ first steps into space don’t become their last.

“So, Ensign, is there nothing that can be done?” Krabreii asked. “These structural flaws you discovered, are they fixable?” The atmosphere in the captain’s ready room was thick with tension, with each member of the away team feeling the weight of the situation. They sat or stood in a [...]
