Unification War

In an alternate universe, after the Dominion defeated the Federation and Klingon Empire they renamed that conflict the **Unification War**.

After the minefield at the mouth of the Bajoran wormhole was taken down the Dominion sent a large number of reinforcements to the Alpha Quadrant. They were intercepted by the USS *Defiant* in the wormhole but they easily destroyed the lone vessel. The rest of the Federation and Klingon fleet that took part in Operation Return was similarly destroyed once they reached Terok Nor.

With a significant number of reinforcements the Dominion ruthlessly prosecuted the rest of the war.Earth was one of the first worlds to fall. Starfleet put everything it could to defend its capital but the Dominion defeated them and conquered the planet. Andor, Vulcan and Tellar fell quickly afterwards and with the core of the Federation in Dominion hands many other Federation worlds simply surrendered rather than fight on.

The remnants of Starfleet retreated into the Klingon Empire and continued to fight with their allies. Eventually the Dominion's vast military might conquered the Empire as well. With both of their foes defeated the Dominion declared victory.

In the aftermath of this victory the Dominion continued to bring more and more of the region under its control and unify it under their banner.
Shabren's Fifth Prophecy

**Shabren's Fifth Prophecy** was a prophecy written by the Bajoran Shabren. It refered to the Reckoning, final battle between a Prophet and a Pah-wraith though it did not say who would win.

The prophecy declared that if the Kosst Amojan was destroyed it would herald Bajor's Golden Age: a thousand years of peace where the Prophets and the people would be as one. If the Kosst Amojan won Bajor and the Celestial Temple would burn.

In 2374, the prophecy was set in motion with the discovery of the Reckoning Tablet under the ancient city of B'hala. However, the prophecy was stopped by the interference of Kai Winn Adami.

*In an alternate universe, the prophecy was set in motion by Jake Sisko in 2394 when he discovered the Reckoning Tablet.*

Virtual display device

The **virtual display device** was a device used on Jem'Hadar starships instead of a main viewscreen.

There were two models. One was a simple headsets with one eyepiece while the other was shoulder mounted. There are typically just two on a ship, one for the commanding Vorta and the other for the Jem'Hadar First.

The wearer of the device was able to see external views of the ship, which they could change by simply moving their head. Technical data and information could also be displayed on the eyepiece.

When the Vorta and First were not on the bridge the next two senior Jem'Hadar wore the devices.

While designed primarily for the Jem'Hadar and Vorta they could be worn by other species. Cardassians and Bajorans could wear them without any side-effects, however Humans were prone to headaches if they wore them for a extended period of time.

USS Proxima

The **USS *Proxima* (NCC-61952)** was a Federation *Nebula*-class exploratory cruiser that saw service during the latter half of the 24th century.

## History

In 2369, under the command of Captain Juan Acero the *Proxima* was sent on a long term exploration mission in the Gamma Quadrant. During that time it made several first contacts.

Several months after entering the Gamma Quadrant the ship made first contact with the Iorathites and visited their homeworld of Iorath. A four person delegation was sent to the surface to attend a welcoming reception.

During the reception Captain Acero was kidnapped by the Dominion. The *Proxima* pursued the Dominion vessel and despite apparently been the more capable vessel it was overwhelmed by the Dominion vessel, which usd its phased polaron beams to bypass the ship's shields and destroy the bridge. An immediate boarding action by the Jem'Hadar saw the ship's main engineering captured resulting in Chief Engineer Gao Wei surrendering the vessel.

By 2373, Starfleet presumed the Dominion had destroyed the *Proxima*.

Star system

A **star system** is the region that encompasses a star that includes bodies that are tied to the star through gravity. This includes, planets, planetoids, asteroid belts and other stars. The term **planetary system** is often used to indicate a star that is orbited by at least one planet.

This region was split into three broad zones. The hot zone is the region close to the star and is often too hot to allow for life. The Ecosphere is a region that was favourable for life as it was not too close to the star to suffer from the heat or too far away that it would be too cold. Class M planets were mostly found in this region. The cold zone was the outer edge that was far from the star. At the edge of this was the Oort cloud, which marked the boundary of a system.

Ukora class

The ***Ukora*-class** was a type of light frigate that saw service with the Federation Starfleet during the 24th century.

## Design

The *Ukora* was made up of a round saucer section with a neck on the ventral side that extended downwards to a small pod structure that continued the ship's torpedo launchers. From this pod where pylons that stretched down the length of the pod and were downward sloping and connected to the ship's two warp nacelles. This gave the ship a profile that was not too dissimilar to that of the *Centaur*-class.

The *Ukora* was armed with phaser banks and torpedo launchers.

## History

While it was a design that hearkened back to the 23rd century vessels of the class were still operational during the 2370s.

## Background information

* This class is based on the USS Jupp studio model made for *Star Trek: Deep Space Nine* and assigns it to the *Ukora*-class from *Spacedock: The Advanced Starship and Construction Manual*.
* The number of weapons are changed from what the *Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual* suggests. The number of phasers is upped from 11 to 12 as the model appears to have 3 groups of two banks on the dorsal and ventral side of the saucer. As for the torpedo launchers it is assumed 4 launchers from the DS9TM is split into 2 fore and 2 aft launchers. However, due to how the aft of the bottom pod section where the launchers appears to be gets thinner towards the aft the number of launchers are reduced to 2 fore and 1 aft.

Starship classification

**Starship classification** is a system various militaries use to group vessels according to their design specifications. This is usually done by using the starships primary mission profile. The exact terms vary depending on the entity applying them. For example, the Federation Starfleet uses terms such as explorer and escort when referring to its starships, often shying away from more militaristic terms (as favoured by powers such as the Klingons and Romulans) such as warship, battle cruiser and dreadnought.

The Farthest Star blog

**The Farthest Star blog** is the blog of the author of *Swiftfire* and *Star Trek: The Farthest Star*, JayLR. It is hosted on Wordpress.com.

## History and usage

It was started in November 2013 to follow JayLR's attempt at NaNoWriMo 2013. Following that it was used to post responses to blog prompts from Ad Astra and the WriYe forums. These tend to be general writing questions.

Progress posts are also posted on the blog that are meant to track the progress of both that year's WriYe and progress on works-in-progress.

The blog was also hosted some *Swiftfire* fan fiction. Eight short stories from the now defunct "Tales From the Farthest Star" anthology were posted on the blog before then later being added to the main series website. "No Refunds" was the final story to receive that treatment before this type of release was stopped.

In-universe information is also posted in some blogs that has not appeared in any fiction. In posts from 2021 onwards this information is considered to be "canon", but at a lower level than what appears in completed stories. This means if there is a conflict between information from blog posts and what's presented in a story then the latter would be considered the accepted version.

Tachyon detection grid

A **tachyon detection grid** is a method of detecting cloaked starships. Originally developed by Starfleet it involves various starships or sentry posts transmitting tachyon beams between them to create a tachyon field. Any cloaked vessel attempting to navigate through the field would be exposed.

The first practical application was by a Starfleet task force led by the USS *Enterprise*-D in 2368. The grid successfully managed to detect a Romulan convoy as it attempted to penetrate Klingon space.

After this successful test Starfleet upgraded its sensor posts along the Romulan Neutral Zone.

The Klingons also made use of this technology using it to help protect their military installations, such as Ty'Gokor.

The 3rd Cruiser Wing, 24th Tactical Wing utilised modified probes to create a tachyon detection grid in the Korvat system to warn them of approaching cloaked Klingon warships.

There's No Angels Here

**There's No Angels Here** was a *Spectrum* novella that takes place in the alternate universe.

## Synopsis

In a parallel universe where Admiral James Leyton succeeded in his coup d'état against the Federation Council, the Federation is sent into a devastating civil war. Jonathan Masters leaves Starfleet after the loss of the USS *Swiftfire* (NCC-76125) and joins the Maquis in their struggle to protect their homes from the rampaging Klingon Empire. However, he has little interest in the fate of the Maquis or the Demilitarized Zone. He only has one goal: to gain bloody vengeance on those who have caused him pain: the Klingons.

## Background information

* This episode was originally written as part of an anthology set in the *Star Trek: Pendragon* universe. Later it was moved out of that universe into a new one that was inspired by *Pendragon*. The story was taken offline in 2013 to undergo these changes.
* The title comes from lyrics from the song, "Lost" by VAST.
* While the story is set in an alternate universe the point of divergence is the *Star Trek: Deep Space Nine* episode "Paradise Lost" where Admiral Leyton's coup against the Federation Council was successful instead of failing. However, information from before this point of divergence is considered to have also happened in the main *Swiftfire* continuity.
* The story was initially released in parts:
	+ Prologue: 12th of March, 2009.
	+ Part 1: 15th of June, 2009.
	+ Part 2: 14th of December, 2009.

	+ Part 5: 13th of August, 2010.
	+ Part 6: 2nd of November, 2010.
	+ Part 7: 19th of June, 2011.

Vulcan

**Vulcans** were a humanoid species native to the planet Vulcan and one of the founding members of the United Federation of Planets. Vulcans were known for their strict adherence to following the path of logic and the suppression of emotions.

## Physiology

Vulcan's were distinguishable by their pointed elfish ears and upturned eyebrows. They had copper based blood that had a green appearance. In comparison to humans they were stronger and faster.

Once every seven years Vulcans undergo the pon farr. It causes a mental imbalance that sees them lose their emotional control making them prone to outbursts of emotion and even violence. To primary method to address this is by mating. If a Vulcan does not mate death can be the result.

## History

In the past the Vulcans were a violent and emotional race until Surak preached that the Vulcans abandon their emotions for following the path of pure logic. This was accepted by most Vulcans, though a minority rejected Surak's teachings and left Vulcan.

In 2063, Vulcans made official first contact with humans after observing humanity's first warp flight.

By the mid-22nd century, the Vulcans and Andorian Empire were on the verge of war. Partly thanks to the efforts of United Earth relations between the two species normalised so that in 2155 both entered into talks to join the Coalition of Planets.

In 2161, the Vulcans were one of the founding members of the United Federation of Planets.
