A month after being transported into the Delta Quadrant against their will, the ISS Vengeance travels back toward the Alpha Quadrant at a snails pace. With a mind for building their Shadow Fleet and establishing Imperial influence in the Quadrant, they begin plundering freighters they encounter for supplies and slaves. When they find an interesting and valuable gem aboard a Talaxian Freighter, they decide to search for more on the surface of a nearby planet, Zapara IV. Little do they know: they will have company.

A month after their encounter with the Vidiians on Zapara IV, the Shadow Fleet approaches a nebula in their path which they decide to travel through to shave several weeks off of their trip.

Just two weeks after their departure from Sikaris, an away team contracts a terminal illness while exploring an uninhabited, but otherwise idyllic world. When it is discovered the disease will only become terminal if they leave the planet, they are put in stasis until a cure can be found. 17 days later, they are woken up on the planet and told that no cure can be found.
