From 2256 through 2257, a bloody and brutal conflict between two of the galactic powers caused severe fractures in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. With a suturing of peace barely holding it together, the Federation and Klingon Empire face the lingering of threat of the Gorn Hegemony.
Aggressive, cold blooded, and ruthless - The Gorn are what nightmares are made of. They've infested the Beta Quadrant and have clawed their way deeper into the Alpha Quadrant. With the assault on Parnassus Beta, a Federation colony in 2259, war seems inevitable.
With her Captain missing in action, command of the USS Arcadia falls upon a newly minted First Officer, Lieutenant Commander Kelly Kerrigan. Under his command the crew of the Arcadia are on a five-year mission of bridging relationships within the Federation and her broader allies, strengthening defenses, providing aid and relief to worlds hit the hardest, and protecting Federation assets at all costs. The USS Arcadia is not a ship of war; it is a ship of peace and a beacon of hope in the abyss.

Adrianna paused for a moment, attempting to find the words, "what happened on the away mission was-- something. But it was hardly a fault. We managed to find closure for a number of families and it is only Fleet that seem to think we failed. Somehow we got everything we needed from that mission, albeit a casualty or two. We could not help the stowaway. Gawd knows it's the second time I've had that girl blindside me under similar circumstances. But regardless, everyone lived and we managed to limp home."
She cleared her throat, "the training-- I will…

ON:
Adrianna was in her office after the meeting. Sebastian had truly been a royal hole of the rectal persuasion. He was clearly overcompensating for something. Her own personal situation had caused her to put up her walls around the likes of Sebastian and other empaths though, knowing she'd be removed from the ship if anyone knew. So far, especially since he last talked with her husband, even Vance was agreeing to keep the secret of her grief.
Regardless, she was trying to calm down by focusing on the task at hand: finding the Gorn war plans she had stolen…

ON:
The USS Arcadia’s briefing room area was a striking fusion of design and purpose. Sleek black paneling, brightly illuminated, and a long, angular obsidian conference table surrounded by bold blood red chairs.
At the far end, Commander Kelly Kerrigan stood silently before the panoramic observation window with his hands clasped behind his back. Starbase 6 was almost and arms reach in the distance. The massive silhouette against a field of stars, tethering Arcadia like an anchor before the storm. A storm that was surely coming.
Kerrigan’s reflection shimmered faintly in the transparent polyalloy as he stared outward with the…

The door to their quarters slid shut behind Vance with a hiss, but Adrianna didn’t flinch. She sat on the edge of the bed, elbows on her knees, eyes blank as she stared at the floor, clearly she'd been mid taking her boots off. The light above her cast a sterile, too-white glow, making the shadows beneath her eyes look even deeper.
Vance stood there for a long moment, just watching her. He barely recognised her anymore. She wasn’t crying, wasn’t shouting, wasn’t breaking plates or snapping orders or biting back with that fire he loved– she was just a…

ON:
Sabastian gave once last glance at Zai's old quarters. He smiled as he picked up the last box. He'd reset the pass code so that Adri and Vance could set it. Last night they'd come home. Zai had slept for a couple hours and then he'd gotten up, dressed and packed like a mad man. He hadn't talked, hadn't stopped just packed. Sab had started moving the boxes as Zai packed them. It was now mid morning the next day and all was moved but this one box.
He heard the door hiss open and looked over to find…

Tanina stood beneath the canopy of fairy lights strung between the old olive trees, her hand resting lightly on Dario’s arm. The warm breeze carried the laughter and music from the dance floor, blending with the scents of lavender and the faint tang of wine from the surrounding vineyards. Her eyes found Adrianna and Vance among the dancers, their movements fluid and effortless as if they had been made for each other.
“She’s beautiful,” Dario said softly, his voice low and filled with pride.
Tanina glanced at him, a tender smile curving her lips, “She is. More beautiful than I…

The Baciami family vineyard glowed under the warm embrace of the late afternoon sun. Rows of vines stood proudly, the leaves rustling gently in the breeze as though whispering secrets of love and legacy. In her childhood bedroom, Adrianna stood before a full length mirror, suddenly feeling quite nervous. The delicate lace of her wedding gown glowed softly in the light streaming through the open window. It had been carefully preserved, tucked away for decades– Tanina’s wedding dress, now hers.
The old wooden door creaked open. Adrianna turned to see her mother step inside, a bouquet of lavender, rosemary and…

My Vance,
This is the last letter I’ll write to you before I become your wife.
I wanted to tell you that the promise I made to you years ago, when you gave up trying to kiss me-- I've not gone through with it. I've not told the officiant to change the wording of the ceremony from ‘you may now kiss the bride' to 'you may now stare longingly and awkwardly at the bride from a respectable distance’.
Anyway, by the time you read this, I’ll be hours away from walking down the aisle, ready to stand before the man…

*** Some Years Ago ***
The party had finally ended, and the villa was silent. The hum of celebration, the clinking of glasses, and the warmth of family laughter had faded into the hush of the countryside. Adrianna’s family had gone to bed, their joy giving way to the heavy stillness of sleep. All but Giovanni, who stood on the balcony, his broad frame silhouetted against the silver glow of the moon. He held a ring box in his hand, turning it idly as his dark eyes scanned the vineyard stretching endlessly below.
Adrianna found him there, her footsteps were…

The vineyard shimmered under the soft glow of fairy lights strung delicately between the olive trees, casting their warm light over the rows of tables set for tomorrow’s celebration. The scent of blooming jasmine and freshly tilled earth mingled with the cool evening breeze, carrying a sense of tranquillity that Adrianna found both soothing and bittersweet. She stood at the edge of the vineyard, her gaze sweeping over the familiar land that had been her family’s pride for generations, the place where so many memories had been made.
The entire place looked like a fantasy. It was ready for the…
