Dead Moon

Federation warning beacons around the Charybdis Sector have ceased transmitting.

Was it spontaneous failure or were they sabotaged?

Starfleet Intelligence receives reports that an unknown vessel has been detected by Romulan Sensor Probes entering the Charybdis Sector, an area of space banned by the Federation.

With Romulan ships already enroute to the Charybdis Sector the origins of this new and unknown vessel are being called into question and amid growing fears in Starfleet that this powerful vessel is an experiment being developed by Romulan intelligence the Astraea has been ordered to violate Starfleet Regulations and enter the Sector themselves.

Their mission is, apparently, simple.

Find this vessel, remove it from the sector and hand it over to the Starfleet Intelligence units that have already been directed toward their location.
