Omega particles have been detected across the galaxy, activating the Omega Directive. Some starships are on the front lines, their ship’s systems locking down with the Omega Directive until only the captain, bound by law to keep the existence of Omega a secret, lifts the lockdown and gives further orders.

The stability of the galaxy is at stake as Starfleet rushes to resolve a crisis threatening all interstellar travel and communication in the galaxy.

But what has caused this unprecedented event?
