Details about the campaign
The U.S.S. Excalibur is an Ambassador Class Ship (the same as the Enterprise C) which had just been re-commisioned. It had been refitted and was now on power with a Galaxy Class ship though a lot of space was used up to do so. The Federation had been worrying about the Dominion for some time now and have decided to put together an experienced crew to man the Excalibur which would be sent on specialist missions. Captain Sulyan Makar was selected to lead the crew and under him would be his 1st officer Commander Diana Blane who had served as an espionage agent and acted in the field along the Cardasian border.
The crew set of on their first shakedown cruise and were ready to test out a few of the new systems. They were having a few minor problems but everything seemed to be under control. After testing things out and discovering several problems with the starship they picked up a signal from a planet which was being sent into the Romulan Neutral Zone. As this was against normal procedure and there wasn't any other craft within the vicinity they decided to investigate. They found the signal was coming from what they had thought was an uninhabited planet but there readings showed a structure on the surface. After sending an away team down they put a stop to the signal which was being broadcast by traitors  and had completed their first mission.
After their first shakedown the ship obviously needed a few bugs to sort out so they docked whilst it underwent the work. Several days later they set off again given a few more weeks shakedown. On their first day Captain Makar was contacted by his old Captain, Leroy Jackson who asked him if he would consider investigating a message sent by the U.S.S. Fearless which was on Deepspace duties. The message was broken up but it seemed they had been attacked by an unknown ship. The Excalibur set its course. Upon reaching the sector they found the Fearless which was a Defiant Class ship. There were no life signs and the ship was filled by vacuum. They beamed an away team over but as they were trying to get the systems back operational a mysterious ship decloaked and attacked the Excalibur. Its attack was sudden and they were unable to beam all of the away team back in time. The alien craft drained much of the Excalibur's power before retreating. The crew tracked it to a nearby system and more specifically to a class M planet where the inhabitants were quite primitive. The aliens were in a a cluster of underground caves. An away team was sent down and they were forced to combat the aliens which they discovered were a silicoid based lifeform. They eventually captured the complex and realized the aliens had come from another galaxy and had used a form of technology to fold space. However the energy needed to do this was great and it involved the destruction of a star. When they returned they detected the enemy ship that was heading for the sun. They chased it and managed to stop it as it was beginning to convert the suns energy. Later they checked over the data they had retrieved and discovered the ship was attempting to travel to a mostly unexplored nebular within Federation space. They decided there next course of action was to investigate as to why it was travelling there.
