It's been a little over a year now since Daedalus made first contact with the Bajorans, MACO Outpost 1 was officially commissioned,  and the Terra Prime movement was totally dissolved. The galaxy was quiet for a while, which let Earth pave the way toward their next big goal, the unification of the planets of the quadrant. The Coalition of Planets was officially formed over a month ago, with Earth, Vulcan, Andoria and Tellar being the major players in the movement (followed closely by Denobula, Betazed, and Cait.)

The past year, while filled with a plethora of notable achievements and exciting discoveries has also been wrought with strife. The disappearance and destruction of ships near the Sierra Run (The Earth Cargo Authority "long way" route between Alpha Centauri and Regulus) has continued to plague Starfleet Command, and the families of the lost crews.

The Mystery lies in the sheer lack of evidence to support anything more than a loose theory as to what has happened to these ships. The new head of Starfleet Intelligence, believing all mysteries are designed to be solved, has been working diligently to find clues, or even try to witness what happens when one of these ships vanish.

Williams' bold plan has not received the big payoff he's been hoping for. Truthfully, to date, 30 Vessels have gone missing. 7 of which were Starfleet ships ordered to investigate the region, and one was a Surak Class  Vulcan Cruiser doing the same.

Williams has one last Hail Mary play: total lockdown. After meeting with the Coalition Intelligence Council, and contacting a number of other known governments in the area, Williams has formed Task Force Sierra to lock down and secure the sectors along the Sierra Run. No vessel traveling along this line will be permitted to cross it... from either side, without express permission from Admiral Williams, and a full search and background check of the ship and crews.

Daedalus has been tasked with command along 6 neighboring star systems in the area along with The Ohio and the Iwo-Jima as support. Daedalus is about to commence a full sweep of the Algeron System, in hopes of finding something new that will crack the whole case wide open, and give some more answers to the questions raised from the discovery of her sister ship, the Odyssey, last week...
