It is a time of uncertainty for the United Federation of Planets. After centuries of being apart, reunification between the Romulan Star Empire and the Confederacy of Vulcan has happened and thrown the galaxy into chaos. With the emergence of a new Praetor an unexpected alliance has been proposed allowing Vulcan to serve both the Federation and the Romulans, creating a political nightmare for President Gruzy and his Administration. They must decide if keeping the Federation's oldest ally is worth making a deal with the Federation's oldest enemy.

Though things are never as they seem. Deep within the galaxy lies a world that is off-limits to everyone - a world of mystery and of illusion. To visit this planet will result in certain death - if not from the harshness of the world itself then from the Federation that has sworn to protect its secrets until the end of time. So, what happens when a cry for help from deep within this quarantine zone echoes throughout the galaxy?

Genesis

Decades ago the Dominion, self-appointed rulers of the Gamma Quadrant, waged war against the United Federation of Planets and its allies over control of the Alpha Quadrant. The conflict tore apart the galaxy as worlds were subjugated and entire fleets of mighty starships were destroyed. After many fierce, bitter battles a hard won peace was achieved. The Dominion returned to their part of the galaxy through the Bajoran Wormhole and vowed to leave the Alpha Quadrant to its own devices with a mutual agreement that neither side would encroach upon the others territory again.

Things are about to get interesting on the edge of the final frontier...

After decades of isolation the Founders, rulers of the Dominion, have sent an emissary to Starbase 419 on a mission of peace. The Dominion has invited representatives of the United Federation of Planets to join them for a peace conference to establish a new alliance between the two dominant powers of the galaxy. With multiple setbacks in his Administration, President Gruzy has welcomed the opportunity to build a new relationship with the Federation's former adversary and has set out aboard Starfleet One to participate in what is surely to be the most important peace mission of his career.

Though, below on the Federation world known as Bajor storm clouds from the past are gathering that could jeopardize the very future not only of Bajor but the Federation itself.

Exodus

"Genesis is life from lifelessness. It is a process whereby molecular structure is reorganised at he subatomic level into life-generating matter of equal mass."

It all started as a dream; a dream of a mother and son to build worlds capable of saving the dead and dying. A quick, amazing way to build entire planets to house new civilizations, to eliminate the burdens of overpopulation and famine. New cities, homes in the country, children playing at your feet. It was an amazing dream...

"What if this thing were used where life already exists?"

"It would destroy such life in favour of its new matrix."

... That has become a nightmarish reality. The Dominion, long standing enemy of the Federation, has become desperate for peace. A powerful enemy, armed with the powers of creation itself, have begun to devastate their worlds of the Dominion. Entire civilizations have fallen and helping their enemy may bring about certain doom for the entire Federation...

"It has always been easier to destroy than to create."
