Synopsis

The crew of the USS Pioneer (NCC-1084), commanded by Captain Benjamin Kelsoe, begin the exploration of a region of space that has yet to be surveyed by the United Federation of Planets. Beyond Deep Space Five lays the Oralian sector, a region of space once dominated by the warlike So'ja, whom have since come to be on friendly terms with the Federation. However, not all of the So'ja are pleased with their government's close ties to the Federation. Kelsoe and his crew are about to find themselves in hostile territory. On their journey they'll meet new friends, and new enemies... some of which are more powerful than they could ever have imagined.
