There is a need lurking in the dark corners of the Universe:
A need for Resolution! It exists in the ideaologies of the Alien Species who
travel peacefully into the depths of space for the increase of knowledge to
benefit all. It exists in each conflict which is fought by warring factions
within all societies that dot the individual stars of the sky. And it exists
for those with the ideas of purposed domination who need only reach out from
their hidden places of power to obtain that which they seek...
Dark and troubling times lie ahead: Not only for those who fight in the name
of the Earth Society known only as Starfleet, but also for those races who would
cast their fates with the Human Race against an unknown threat that is now
gathering its forces in the name of conquest...
And the Starship Challenger stands at the brink of that Conflict!
If you are ready to undertake the challenges that await the future of Earth,
its inhabitants and its allies, then we invite you to join this valiant crew as we
step forth into the unknown destiny that awaits us all, and to place your name
into the future history that will one day become the United Federation of Planets...
