Since the return of the USS Voyager from the Delta Quadrant after their 7 year journey home finally ending in the Borg Transwarp Conduit, Admiral Kathryn Janeway wanted the area to be further explored. It was difficult to do so however, as the only Federation ships found in the Delta Quadrant, and Voyager herself were sent there by the Caretaker. Admiral Janeway campaigned for an exploration force to be sent to the Delta Quadrant and the biggest problem which faced her, was how toget back to the Delta Quadrant.

That's where we come in.

Our primary mission is to patrol the Gamma Quadrant, scout out possible Dominion movement, and prevent further incursions into the Alpha Quadrant by any member of the Dominion. Secondary missions can include, but are not limited to, covert operations into Dominion territory, first contact scenarios with new life forms, and Diplomatic missions to form treaties and alliances with civilizations we've already come into contact with.

In addition, there are reports that Borg cubes have been sighted within the Delta Quadrant. It has been verified that they have already assimilated two planet populations and ten ships of differing alliance and species. We have been placed here to defend those against the Borg who either can't defend themselves or have already been dessimated by prior incursions. We will be exploring new frontiers and species never before seen by any member of the Federation.
