USS Okinawa just got back into service after many months of repairs and upgrades in orbit of Starbase 11. The crew had returned from their shoreleave and are now getting back into the routine of things on board. Problem is, the crew are immediately tasked to a seize and control operation, the Maka system. At first the operation was suppose to be easy, with the help of a Nebula Class vessel and its long range capabilities, so while the other vessels in the operation were to assault the Cardassians head on, the Okinawa was tasked to stay behind with the Nebula Class, to provide support. Unfortunately bad news always arrives during time of war, the Nebula vessel is unable to participate in the operation due to engine failure, which forced the Okinawa to change its role in the operation and will now be leading the charge against the Cardassians.

Starfleet Intelligence predicts that the Cardassian forces in the Maka system are minimum, and that the operation should go smoothly. But the one thing that the Cardassians had on their side was their own intelligence agency. So despite being technologically inferior to the Federation, they have been able to prepare themselves for any attack. So will the operation succeed? Or will Okinawa and the operation forces be falling into a trap?
