U.S.S. Tal-War mission, Once More Unto the Breach.  Stardate 10309.06.
Host Chris_N says:
SYNOPSIS: The Tal-War has been reassigned to Deep Space 21 on the edge of Galactic Space to follow up on a mission the USS Luna had begun two years prior.
Host Chris_N says:
DS21 is a station of diplomacy and home to diplomats from all over this region of space.  Many of these races have been traversing the cosmos for nearly 1,000 years.
Host Chris_N says:
The two largest of the races, known as The Finotan Republic and The Laquona Star League, have been showing signs of continued distrust of one another.  DS21's station commander feels war is inevitable and thus Starfleet is assigning a vessel capable of defending the station and continuing diplomatic, and research missions.
Host Chris_N says:
Now, three weeks into their journey and the arrival of the Fighter Group, we join the crew of the Tal-War
