The year is 2415.
Several years have passed since the end of the Second Dominion War, and the United Federation of Planets is at last rebuilt. However, what was once a great and respected union has only a fraction of its former glory. The actions of Starfleet and the Federation planets during the war have forever tarnished the Federation's reputation, casting a deep shadow on her reconstruction.
Some planets have refused to rejoin the Federation because of the war. Others have declined invitations to become full members. Where the Alpha Quadrant was once primarily ruled by one government, three strongholds have emerged.
The United Federation of Planets encompasses dozens of worlds, including Earth and Vulcan, with its capital still on the planet Earth. No new members have joined her, and of the original members, Cait, Betazed, Andoria, and Trill have left her ranks.
The Romulan Star Empire once again spans the stars, holding claim to more worlds than the Federation. What was once the great Klingon Empire now falls under Romulan rule.
The newest of the three is perhaps the most dangerous, the Cervan Empire. The core of Cervan territory rests just beyond the Romulan Star Empire, but her presence spans across hundreds of light years. Andoria is now a territory of the Cervan Empire. The Cerva have also laid claim to the Breen Confederacy.
These are dark times for all three of these great nations. Tensions and rising tempers on all sides have prompted fleet mobilizations and minor skirmishes.
Starfleet's answer to these struggles is the Angha, an Excalibur class starship named after a mythical Persian fire bird. Like the Greek phoenix, the angha is reborn from fire. It is hoped that the Angha can inspire Starfleet and the Federation to attain their former glory.
