Totally Games had already created four best-selling and well-loved space combat titles in the other great space fantasy license, Star Wars®. The team here was interested in trying something new and different so with excitement we began our work. [. . . ] The Federation continues to negotiate with the Klingon, Romulan and Cardassian governments to come to some kind of equitable arrangement for all parties. Unfortunately, diplomacy has not yielded much success in easing tensions between the major Alpha Quadrant powers. Accusations of military forces in hiding and of secret military caches continue to threaten the stability of the region.

The region is not contested by any major Alpha Quadrant power, primarily because of its inhospitable environment. However, after an initial survey by the science vessel U. S. S. Hawking, several key Federation scientists expressed great interest in studying the Maelstrom and its attributes. Most systems within the Maelstrom have unique properties, as their stars seem to produce triple the amount of ambient radiation found in normal Mtype planetary environments. This has made Federation colonization of most of this area unrealistic. Within the last two years, scientific advances and technologies such as environmental bio-filters and atmospheric shielding have made the terraforming process more achievable, enabling planetary habitation. To date, the two outermost planets in the Vesuvi system within the Maelstrom have been terraformed to facilitate mining of their vast mineral resources. The most recent colonization effort within the Maelstrom is a Starfleet science facility that has begun construction on Draegos, Vesuvi's third planet. In lieu of synth flowers, Lieutenant Wright-Serson has suggested that credits contributions can be made to the Starfleet Academy General Scholarship Fund in her father's memory. Finally, I wish to extend my personal condolences to the Dauntless and her crew. I have known Captain Wright for thirty years. In his personal and his professional life, he has always represented the epitome of what a Starfleet commanding officer should be. His death is a tremendous loss to all of us who knew him--and to those who now will never have that opportunity.
