USS Arcturus: Icarus

The crew of Arcturus struggles to adapt to leadership changes while investigating a Federation distress call from a ship lost long before any of them were born.

Mission Description

Following protocol, Arcturus alters course to investigate a Starfleet distress signal, and Captain Lancaster faces scrutiny from Commodore Logan for his decision. On finding the source of the distress call, the USS Icarus,  a long-derelict Earth Starfleet vessel, Arcturus is immediately attacked by small vessels using a mix of Human and Romulan technology. While an away team manages to board the derelict ship, Lancaster and Logan disagree on the best course of action and struggle to achieve a cease-fire. Lancaster is faced with a choice between sailing into the wind and turning his back on everything he stands for.
