Events

 * In the Hidden Frontier timeline:
 * The Archein attempt an invasion of the Beta Quadrant through artificial wormholes from the Andromeda Galaxy. A joint Klingon–Federation operation to destroy the warpgate at its source succeeds but leaves the USS Odyssey (NCC-81302) stranded in Andromeda. (Star Trek: Odyssey)
 * Corey Aster and senior officers of the USS Helena conspire to acquire the materials to create an Omega molecule in order to build a slipstream drive they can use to rescue the Odyssey. They become fugitives from Starfleet as a consequence. The task force pursuing them is infiltrated by Section 31 officers aiming to steal the Omega technology for themselves. An Omega detonation near Risa leaves the resort stranded in a volume of space impassable by warp drive. (Star Trek: The Helena Chronicles)
 * In anticipation of the Archein resuming their invasion, the Romulan Star Empire reluctantly allows Federation and Klingon fleets in to Romulan territory to help bolster their defences. (Orphans of War, Star Trek: Operation Beta Shield, Star Trek: Federation One)

The USS Expedition (NCC-76277) is sent to investigate, and are fired upon for trespassing in Hirogen space. Outnumbered, and outgunned, the Expedition surrenders on terms that they are allowed to prove that the Federation is not invading Hirogen space. After providing them access, and showing them the colony and space station, the Hirogen reluctantly retreat, but promise that this intrusion will be paid for. (Star Trek Crusader)
