A New Frontier: A Star Trek Story

In a new Frontier, in a new galaxy, old legends arise, and new adventures await....

Author's Note:
This fan fiction has been inspired by another fan fiction that I had read. It takes many themes and pasts from it. I would like to thank that author for giving me inspiration to write this.

Prologue:

Captain Charles Brooks leaned in his chair as the stars flew by. His office on deck five of the U.S.S. Ticonderoga. Spinning around, he turned to the Replicator

"Coffee, black, hot." He ordered it, and with two beeps, a coffee was synthesised. He smiled and picked it up, taking a drink, and setting it down on his desk. Charles Brooks worked for Section 31, a secret organisation that prided itself on protecting the United Federation of Planets. Their motto, or at least to some, was 'Exitus Acta Probat' or, 'The end justifies the deed.' It was true, after all. The way Charles saw it, without Section 31, the Federation would've lost the Terran Empire Incursion of 2420, or the Federation would've fallen during the Second Dominion War of 2450.

He was almost disappointed of the report that just landed on his desk.

In the year 2374, Jadzia Dax was killed by Gul Dukat, who was apparently possessed by the Pah-Wraiths, and the symbiont was passed onto Ezri Tigan, a counselling officer aboard the U.S.S. Destiny. She and a doctor named Julian Bashir aboard the space station Deep Space Nine ended up together. They were married for two years before Ezri Dax was killed by an Orion on an away mission together. Julian Bashir ended up going nearly insane. He also had an infatuation with the host Jadzia Idaris. He managed to get genetic material from the body of Ezri Tigan, and somehow cloned her. However, he miscalculated. The Dax symbiont was needed. The original body of Ezri was left in poor storage, which meant that would be impossible to retrieve more genetic material, and it would be unwise to attempt to clone...from a clone. So, he scratched it. Julian then realised there was one person that he didn't try;

Benjamin Sisko.

Sisko had been taken by the Prophets for a short time, but released back into the corporeal world. Julian begged and pleaded with Sisko to get the Prophets to help him in cloning Jadzia. Sisko was obviously surprised with this. He agreed to, and Julian went ahead with his operation. The Trill Symbiosis Commission was also intrigued, and decided that the current host of the Dax symbiont, Toliar, should have an 'accident.' The Dax Symbiont was given to Julian, who, after cloning Jadzia, put the symbiont in her. The operation worked! Jadzia was given back her old commission, and brought up to date.

However, when Jadzia was assigned to U.S.S. Tucker, she was lost in an away mission with five other officers. Rescue missions were mounted, but their bodies were strangely never found. Section 31 assumed that they were captured, but there was no evidence.

After that, in 2454, during the relief efforts after the end of the Second Dominion War, a wormhole was discovered in the Oort Cloud of the Sol System. It lead the Triangulum Galaxy, which had been visited briefly by the U.S.S. Enterprise-D. The Federation began to expand into this new frontier, and it opened up many new possibilities.

Now, Charles read some new news; the bodies of Jadzia Dax and the three others were found on a planet that had been previously occupied by the Gorn. They were cryogenically frozen, and only one had failed.

Charles groaned, realising the stake of this. But, it wasn't his case. He was considering giving Section 31 up to Starfleet Intelligence, anyway. At least that would keep the organisation a little less cocky for another one-hundred years.

Chapter One: The Discovery

The U.S.S. T'Kumbra was an old ship. She was one of the last Sovereigns still in active service with Starfleet. She was made up of a mostly Vulcanoid crew, with a few Andorians, Klingons, Bajorans, and humans in her crew. Captain T'Gai, her chief medical officer, and her chief of security beamed down to the planet where the bodies of the away team from the U.S.S. Tucker were discovered by a science team sent to survey the caves of the planet. The CMO, a Bajoran, admired the caves

"Just like the Fire Caves..." He joked, "Maybe a little more eerie..."

The Klingon Security Chief scoffed, "Don't be superstitious. Sir, the report of the science team says the canisters were four metres down this corridor."

The trio turned a corner into a much more deteriorated tunnel. As they watched their steps, they found the canisters with the bodies of the senior officers of the U.S.S. Tucker. The Bajoran wiped the faded plaque from one

'TRILL SYMBIONT HOST'

"Sir!" He called to the captain "This is it!"

She nodded and tapped on her combadge "T'Gair to T'Kumbra..." She said, "We've found the canisters. Beam them and us aboard and set a course for Earth, warp factor 12."

Chapter Two: The Awakening of Dax

Jadzia Dax snapped awake, blinking rapidly as a smiling face of a man with coal black hair and a worn, but friendly face. He was wearing the pins of a lieutenant commander "Admiral!" He called out, "She's coming to!"

"Don't shout, commander!" The admiral, a Denobulan, scolded him, she tend sat in a chair next to Jadzia, and smiled, "Did you have a good sleep, Dax?"

She shook her head, and as Jadzia looked around the room, she could see Romulans, Cardassians, and even Klingons in Starfleet uniforms. She was taken aback, and the lieutenant commander calmed her "Admiral, would you like me to explain, or should you?"

"I can do it just fine, Commander." She said, leaning back "This is going to sound very strange, but you've just woken up in 2520. A lot has happened since you were put into a cryogenic canister. This PADD should explain it all."

The woman handed her a PADD, and got up "The Commander here will fill you in on your new assignment."

As the Admiral walked off, he sat down in the chair and leaned back "I'm Lieutenant Commander Leonard Friedmann, you can call me Leonard." He said with a rather friendly tone, "I know this might seem a bit thrust upon you, and I understand. I'd probably feel the same way if I were to wake up some two hundred years in the future."

Jadzia couldn't help but laugh. This man reminded him of Julian, the man who had cried over her, spent a good portion of his life to bring her back, too, "Well, Leonard, it appears I have a thing or two to learn up on."

"Aye.." He said with a smile, "I'll be in the lounge if you need me."

Chapter Three: Revelations

Jadzia walked into the lounge of Spacedock, and found many officers and crewmen of all different species, some she didn't even recognise, drinking and socialising. Finding Leonard sitting by himself at a table in front of the panoramic window of Earth, she walked over to him. She had been crying her eyes out and needed to talk to someone.

Leonard turned around as Jadzia sat down, with a glass of Romulan ale in his hand "Good stuff, Romulan ale..." He smiled, "Anyway, are you okay?"

"I'm...fine." She lied and they both knew it. All of her friends had been killed in the Terran Empire Incursion. Commodore Sisko was killed after initiating the self-destruct sequence of Deep Space Nine, destroying the station and taking thousands of Imperial Terrans with it. And him. Captain Bashir was killed as he was commanding the U.S.S. Columbia, during the Battle of Andor. The Columbia was destroyed by an Imperial Terran torpedo volley. Commander O'Brien, after being posted aboard the Enterprise-F, was critically wounded by an exploding console. He was taken to sickbay, where he refused to be treated before the other crewmen. He died before the medics could get to him. Admiral Kira Nerys led a fleet of Bajoran ships against an Imperial attack force headed to Romulan space, even though the entire fleet of Bajorans was destroyed, it slowed the Imperial Terrans down long enough to let the Romulans organise their fleet. Her sacrifice for the Federation, the Romulan Empire, and the Alpha Quadrant is told from Bajor to Dutax, the farthest system under Federation control in the Triangulum Galaxy, to this day. Quark had joined a Ferengi Alliance frigate. Grand Nagus Rom had formally declared war on the Terran Empire, and called all Ferengi to rally against them. Quark answered that call, and so did most Ferengi. After his frigate was attacked by the Terran warship I.S.S. Empress Sato, he took command and led a suicide attack against the warship. He ordered the ship on a ramming course with the ship. Odo was killed with Admiral Kira during their attack against the Imperials, spending his last moments with the woman he loved so much. Elim Garak, however, survived the war. He had been working for the Cardassian Union, which backed the Federation in their goal to destroy the Imperials. He died of natural causes at the age of 121, on Cardassia Prime.

Worf, her husband, was deprived of such an honourable death as her friends had. He was stabbed to death on the Council floor by a supporter of an independent, hostile, militaristic Klingon Empire two years after the war ended. Worf had been rallying for the Klingons to join the Federation, a goal that many Klingons wanted. This assassination was considered dishonourable. The assassin and co-conspirators were killed, and in the end, their attempt was futile. The Klingon Empire joined the Federation in 2465.

"Sure..." He wanted to get off the topic, "
