Daedalus
October 5, 2140 After a half dozen years of research and testing, Starfleet prepares to launch its first warp 5 vessel Daedalus. Propelled by a radical new engine designed by Earth s most brilliant warp field theorist, Victor Brodesser, the new ship will at last put the stars within mankind s reach But on the eve of her maiden voyage, a maintenance engineer, Ensign Charles Tucker III Trip to his friends discovers a flaw in Daedalus s design When he confronts Brodesser, the scientist as charismatic as he is brilliant eases Trip s concerns The ship launches on schedule, and as Trip watches in horror, it explodes in a catastrophic ion cascade reaction, killing all aboard Thirteen years pass Still haunted by memories of that disaster, Trip now serves as chief engineer aboard Enterprise. When a freak explosion cripples his vessel, leaving her helpless before a surprise attack, Trip is forced to abandon his ship and his shipmates As he is on the verge of mounting a desperate rescue attempt, however, a shocking turn of events forces him to confront the ghosts of Daedalus one final time.
