Welcome to the USS Albright
However, this scientist’s dreamscape can quickly become a nightmare; full of massive weather events and catastrophic natural disasters, the planet is treacherous as it is tantalizing. After a large seismic event caused Federation scientists and Starfleet science teams to be evacuated from the planet, abandoning their research for a prolonged respite, the Federation Science Council and Starfleet Science have studied probe data and determined the planet stable enough to continue study. With the declaration that it was time to return to Vallaria II, the Federation has dispatched several starships to the sector, as scientific research teams are dispersed on the planet’s surface.
The Federation’s increased intrigue in the isolated second planet of the Vallarus system has piqued the curiosity of the neighboring Cardassians as well as drawn a few sets of eyes to the potential rising worth of the planets in the system. Working against the clock to unravel the mysteries of Vallaria II, the Federation has dispatched the USS Albright to the sector. Aboard her, Lieutenant Commander Kiernan Gallagher, one of Starfleet’s foremost experts on Vallaria II having been part of the initial expedition. The Century class starship’s continuing mission is the scientific exploration of the sector, but Captain Batya Rassek’s must use diplomacy and vigilance to protect the Federation’s interest in the region.
See I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not
perceive it?
I was making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland.
- Isaiah 43:19 NIV

Kiernan Gallagher woke up from a sound sleep, feeling good, and feeling renewed – until he began to sit up. He bit down on his lower lip to stifle the cry that was trying to leave his lungs. Everything hurt, his spine the most. He had felt like every bone…

“So, what do you think?”
Kiernan emerged from the bathroom, a hand towel drying off his now clean-shaven face, a towel wrapped around his thin waist. It had been several years since he last was clean shaven. A trimmed beard was his norm, but he needed a change, something different.…
