Episode One - Skunkworks

Located in the Orion sector New Sydney was once an independent colony close to an area of space known as 'The Triangle'. A polluted and villainous planet full of nothing but mining colonies and syndicate hideouts New Sydney was once the refuge for those in the galaxy that didn't want to be found. In the year 2384 New Sydney became a full Fledged Federation colony. Over the next few years the environment began to change. While mining operations continued the pollution was cleaned up and the criminal element was largely evicted by StarFleet.

New Sydney is now a busy planet with clean metropolitan cities. It also has several research facilities. In orbit around the colony is Starbase Gibraltar as well as several dry docks that form the New Sydney shipyards.

The USS Tesla has finished shakedown and has docked at Starbase Gibraltar to have its roll bar fitted with additional sensors and finish conversion to SAR configuration. While work continues on the ship the crew enjoy some leave and prepare for their larger mission of locating Admiral Dumas and survivors from the Horizon.

But before they can leave the crew must solve troubling new faults that have popped up all over the Tesla and deal with a threat to New Sydney and the entire Federation.
