In the two years since of the crew of the USS Resnik first assembled on that ship’s bridge they have weathered countless crises, watched ships come and go and relied on one another though every challenge that threatened to pull them under. Together they endured but now they face an unfamiliar adversary: the stillness of a galaxy not in crisis.

As the senior staff await the completion of constriction on their new assignment, the massive Yorktown Class USS Persephone, they are granted something they have not known in years: the chance to slow down and breathe. Yet the peace proves more unsettling than any crisis and in the absence of chaos old doubts surface, unresolved questions linger and the silence bears down upon them.
