The Fringe is a barren area, with thick pockets of systems and populations, and also with large clusters of mysteries and scientific phenomena. Yet there is more to this system, as a shocking series of surprises awaits the crew. The Intrepid valiantly tries to bring the Federation back to it's exploratory means and share once more their ideals of peace and serenity, but is it possible?
