Seaason 7

Season 7 Interlude

“Some journeys heal beyond the stars.”

Timeline: Five months
Location: Andoria and surrounding Federation space
Status: USS Elysium — Refurbishment / Refit
Mission Type: Shore Leave / Character Development / Rebuilding
Placement: Between Episode 1: Homecoming and Episode 2: The Garden That Remembers

Mission Overview

For the first time in years, the USS Elysium is going nowhere.

Following her return from Circinus and the events surrounding her homecoming, Starfleet has ordered the vessel temporarily withdrawn from active service. Years of extraordinary operations, emergency repairs, improvised modifications and the accumulated strain of survival far beyond Federation support have taken their toll.

The Elysium will undergo an extensive five-month refurbishment and refit.

Her crew, meanwhile, have been ordered to do something many of them may find considerably more difficult:

Take leave.

For five months, there is no mission to complete. No anomaly to investigate. No enemy waiting beyond the next star.

There is simply home.

And the question of what that means now.
