December 31st, 2399: Among the Starfleet personnel gathering at Camp Khitomer to ring in the new century is a newly-assembled crew coming together for the first time. This group of Starfleet Officers is set to become the crew of the USS Missouri, and will be tasked with taking the brand new Bellerophon Class Starship on its shakedown cruise after the New Years' celebrations.

However, unbeknownst to them or anyone else at the party, an unexpected enemy lurks in the shadows; a peacekeeping program that will prove to be a threat to peace not just in the Alpha Quadrant, but the galaxy at large.

With the emergence of the I-400 threat, the Missouri's crew find themselves sliding into their new roles sooner than anticipated, but will it be enough? The galaxy is a large place, and I-400 could have gone anywhere.
