FICTION INDEX
Star Trek : Nightfall
Star Trek Fiction
The Dominion War is long over but the Alpha and Beta Quadrants are still in turmoil. The destruction of Romulus has seen the Romulan Star Empire collapse into civil war as rival colonies struggle to establish themselves as the new capital. The Cardassian Union is still in ruins and with the military the only force with any credibility it faces the threat of falling back under the rule of the Central Command once more. In the Klingon Empire rival houses are rewriting history regarding their actions during the war, while in the Federation outlying worlds are resenting what they see as an unfair concentration of resources on the core worlds.
Amongst all of this there is something else at work. A force that can come and go at will while leaving no evidence other than the chaos it leaves in its wake. Now the future of the galaxy lies in the hands of the crew of an experimental starship that many in the Federation would like to see scrapped.
These are the voyages of the USS Nightfall...

While the Federation and Klingon Empire move closer to making peace once and for all there are those on both sides who oppose any settlement with their long standing enemies.

Standing in his way is the USS Ascension, a patrol ship deployed along the border whose captain guards a dark secret...

Notes:
1. These stories are set in the 'original' Star Trek timeline (that is of 'Enterprise', the original series, 'The Next Generation', 'Deep Space 9' and 'Voyager'). This is the timeline that Nero left , therefore the destruction of the USS Kelvin and the planet Vulcan as seen in the 2009 film by J.J. Abrams have not occured.
2. I've taken some extreme liberties in interpreting the canon of Star Trek. I don't use the 'Starfleet Marines' that some like to include in their fan fiction (at least in the Nightfall stories - I have found a reference to them from Star Trek VI for the movie era), but I do make use of both Earth MACOs and Andorian Imperial Guard seen in the TV series 'Enterprise' despite there being no evidence that either organisation still existed by the late 24th century.
