Next proposed mission
The crew of the 'Republic' will leave the Neutral Zone and head out deep into an unexplored region of space. In this area is a hostile, warlike alien race known as the VisiGoth and another race the crew will meet called the Karchedons. What will the crew face meeting these aliens? They are a ship, alone, in a vast territory. "Bruin 19" is the closest outpost, but still they will be some distance away even at high warp.



Current mainstream story
