USS Edison

The Smuggler's Gambit

The crew of the USS Edison, recovering from a recent virus outbreak, is sent to Freecloud to dismantle a smuggling network.

Mission Description

“The best way to predict your future is to create it.”
~Peter Drucker

 

After surviving the virus outbreak that overtook the Edison, the crew is tasked with investigating a smuggling network that has been trafficking weapons, illicit technology, and even people, increasing tension across the sector.

Starfleet believes this operation runs deeper with ties to a group attempting to destabilize the sector. Relying on their wits and one another, the crew must navigate the underworld of Freecloud. With diplomacy and tactical skill, the Edison must dismantle the network before it’s too late. But in a place where trust is a rare commodity, who will stand with them, and who will sell them out?
