Part of Bravo Fleet: Labyrinth

USS Savannah

Hesperus Rising

Deployed along the Former DMZ, the crew of the USS Savannah discover that "Mens Agitat Molem" might not be enough to counter the duplicity of the True Way and the New Marquis.

Mission Description

When Lieutenant Commander Samantha Hyland utters the words “Let’s see what’s out there”, the newly minted CO of the USS Savannah & her fledgling crew could scarcely envision the “Helter Skelter” of culminating betrayal and inter-factional Machiavellianism that will draw them first into deadly conflict and subsequently unlock a mystery that has underpinned cosmic events since before mankind ever thought to take to the distant stars.

Accompany the beleaguered crew of the recommissioned New Orleans – class Starfleet Frigate, as they are drawn into the nightmarish wonderment of the phenomena that will come to be universally experienced as “Underspace” and join in their desperate prayer for salvation as the 4th Fleet suddenly finds itself grappling with the Multicursal – implications of the Labyrinth.
