The Cardassian situation has evolved with the return of the Maquis to the Demilitarized Zone, as well as the complications with The True Way.  The USS Mackenzie must grapple with a changing universe along with the faint echoes of the events of a Post-Martok timeline in the Klingon Empire.  Captain Walton and her crew will be challenged to work through the complicated dynamics of the various groups and colonies caught in the middle.

Peter Crawford and Riandri Nalam shared time together during the first Dominion War and Carolyn Crawford was the result.  Peter has never told his daughter who her mother is, and neither him nor Riandri has spoken much since…until now.  They are reunited aboard the Mackenzie to assist with the various missions that have been assigned to the Excelsior II Class ship.  They each have their own secrets to hold or share…and the truth of what the future holds for both remains unknown.
