## Background information

* The first two parts of this story were released on the 25th of December, 2010.
* Originally this story was under the *Swiftfire* banner but in late February, 2011 it was moved to the *Star Trek: The Farthest Star* banner, which was created to group stories that don't have a focus on *Swiftfire* characters.
* A temporary cover was created for this story, which used a screenshot from "The Visitor". It was made black and white to signify it was not the final cover. The final cover was added at the start of 2011.
* There is a slight error with the cover as it shows Ben Sisko in the incorrect uniform as he should be in the *Star Trek: First Contact* style uniform that the show started to used mid-way through season 5 as Sisko "died" in early season 6 in this universe.
* The story took nearly four years to complete due to a waning in the writer's interest in *Star Trek* in 2012 that resulted in a complete stop to all writing in 2013. The story wasn't worked on again until 2014 when it was eventually finished.
