The USS Ermiana a brand new Galaxy Class Starship is launched from the Utopia Planetia Fleet Yards orbiting Mars under command of the newly promoted Captain Mikoto Misaka. The Ermiana is the second ship in the fleet to be brought to the same Specifications of the USS Enterprise D which was recently refitted.

The Ermiana is dispatched to the Veridian system, where only a couple of weeks ago the USS Enterprise D was destroyed by a Rogue Klingon Bird of Prey. The ships mission is to remove all classified and sensitive Starfleet technology from the crashed saucer section of the Enterprise which lays on the surface of Veridian 3. This includes all computer, weapon and scientific technology to prevent it from falling into the hands of any enemies of the Federation such as the Romulans or the recently encountered Dominion.

The Ermiana will be transporting several teams of Starfleet Corps of Engineers to the crash site to begin the removal of the technology while ensuring security for them to work. Several other civilian contractor ships will also be in the area assisting with the removal of the wreck of the Enterprise.

Preparations

With the looming threat from The Dominion from the Gamma Quadrant, Starfleet recognises the need to arm Deep Space Nine. If an intial invasion of Federation Space happens, the first line of defence would be the station and Bajor. However for the last three years the station has only been lightly armed and predictions show it will be over-run within two hours, not enough time for reinforcements to arrive.

Therefore the Ermiana is ordered to Starbase 375 which is approximately twenty five lightyears away from Bajor. The Ermiana will be taking aboard five thousand torpedoes, phaser arrays and torpedo launchers to transport them to the station, arming it for a potential invasion from The Dominion.

However, when the Cardassians discover the Ermiana and accuse them of arming the Maquis they blockade the ship, not allowing them to pass unless they surrender the weapons.
