Summary
In 2407 Lieutenant Commander Tyria Sark is teaching naval history for the Starfleet ROTC program at Leran Manev State University on. During a lecture on the Battle of Wolf 359 she has a minor argument with Cadet Gilad Ronson over the wording of remarks about the loss of the USS Melbourne (NCC-62043).

After class she is taking a break and is approached by Captain Henry Wake of Starfleet's Bureau of Personnel, and is offered early promotion to full commander and the XO spot on the USS Warsaw. As it would mean leaving her husband Jolin Tabris and their three-year-old daughter Sameen, she confers with him that evening, and he agrees.

After a time-skip to 2412, Tyria is now CO of the USS Black Prince, assigned to Operation Peacekeeper under Rear Admiral David Huntington, and arrives in the Moab system to be assigned to the Observer group, primarily dealing with coordination with the Starfleet units' Klingon Defense Force counterparts.
