USS Valley Forge - USS Fresno

Through a Mirror, Crack'd Darkly

Deceived by the Doppelgänger of Dr Gallian Makon, Captain Samantha Hyland is forced to pursue the mysterious "Ghost - Ship", Hull - 3185 through an interspatial rift and come face to face with her most formidable enemy...herself.

Mission Description

“For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known”.

 

1 Corinthians 13:12

King James Bible

When members of her crew are taken against their will and the derelict “USS Artemis” tears open a rift between space/time, Sam Hyland makes the impossible decision to commit the USS Valley Forge to a headlong pursuit into the unknown.

What she discovers there will shake her faith in both the Federation and herself to the very core, as Samantha and her crew uncover a desperate resistance struggling not only against a totalitarian regime – founded on twisted ideals of empiricism and cruelty – but discover a horrifying old enemy in a terrifying new form that, if left unchecked, will threaten not only her own Universe – but the fate of the many.

Join the crew of the USS Valley Forge as they dare to venture Through a Mirror, Crack’d Darkly.
