Week 1
July 1-7
Some of the Security Cadets participate in Holodeck training.  The saboteur is questioned, but reveals little.  A faint ion trail is located which leads the Yeager to a nebula which has pockets of explosive gas.  Back on SBT a murder and theft occurs on the main promedade, and security begins to investigate.  The USS Trident departs through the warpgate to explore the Canopus region.

Week 2
July 8-14
Rather than risk taking the Yeager into the nebula, a shuttle is sent to do some scouting.  They discover traces of a gas that, if combined with the material from the research station, could theoretically produce a spatial anomoly.  Once back on the Yeager, samples of the gas and research station material are studied by Science teams and find that if combined in a location where conditions are right it would create a spatial rift between dimensions which would continue to expand, and eventually destroy the universe - the "perfect location" exists in the Eta Tauri System.  The Yeager sets course and sends a message to warn SBT.  SBT is put on red alert and the Reuben James and all fighter wings are scrambled to patrol the system for any sign of the raider.

Week 3
July 15-21
The raider is discovered in the Eta Tauri asteroid belt.  The Reuben James moves to intercept as all fighters begin to converge.  The Yeager arrives and engages the Raider - who fires a beam from it's deflector opening the dimensional rift.  The Yeager is severely damaged as is the Reuben James and many fighters.   The Telesto returns from their exploration mission through the warpgate to find chaos, and moves to pick up the pilots of the wounted fighters before engaging the raider.  Both the Yeager and Telesto adapt their main deflectors to emit a pulse which should close the rift.  The raider begins attacking the remaining fighters and the Reuben James, the Telesto engages the raider to draw it's fire to protect the Reuben James.  The Yeager is successful in closing the rift, and the combined force of the Telesto and fighters disable the raider.  Marines and Security from all 3 ships are sent to take the raider's crew - and meet with heavy resistance.

Week 4
July 22-28
Marine and Security teams finish taking the raider, and all ships return to SBT.  Funeral ceremonies are held for the 6 officers lost in the battle.  On a happier note, graduation is announced for several.  A Nebula class ship, the USS Titan emerges from the warp gate severely damaged.  The ship crashes on the 5th moon of Eta Tauri IV (Hobart).  Fighters on patrol are unable to scan the moon due to a dampening field, and the Colony Governor is slow in granting permission to land, or to give an explaination.

Week 5
July 29-31
The Faulkner is modified as a hospital ship and rushed to Hobart to assist.  Shuttles arrive at the crash site and discover a terrible loss of life - not all due to the accident.
