=== Interlude ===
'''''Stardate 2407.01.20'''''. The ''USS Paladin'' is en-route to the Romulan Neutral Zone to guard against a possible Romulan invasion while the Federation undergoes a [[Federation Civil War|Civil War]]. The ship takes on new crew members while the rest of the crew rests

=== The Enigma Factor ===
'''''Stardate 2407.01.27'''''. The ''USS Paladin'' comes across an alien vessel, the ''QHL Sunda'', stuck in a subspace tear and they send over an away team to render assistance. It is discovered that an imbalance in the ship's quantum singularity warp drive caused the rift. A sister ship from the United Kingdom of Kiria, ''QHL Aiglos'', approaches and is outraged that aliens have boarded their ship. Captain Straton leads an envoy over to the ''Aiglos'' to explain the situation. She convinces the ship's commander to work together to get the ''Sunda'' out of the rift. Working together, the ''Sunda'' is removed from the rift and repaired. An investigation is launched and it is discovered that a Romulan agent was hiding as part of the ''Sunda'' crew and caused the instability in their warp drive.

'''''Stardate 2407.01.30'''''. [[Michael Ian O'Connor]] is named [[Second Officer]].

Faced with a six month journey to get back to Federation space, Captain Eva Straton ordered the ship to the nearest star system in order to finish repairs and get any supplies, if needed. To their surprise, they encountered a Dyson Sphere and have sent a small away team out in the ''Shuttlecraft Goddard'' to investigate. The away team found a way to get into the sphere and then worked on getting the Paladin through to the inside as well. The Paladin explored in the interior of the sphere and found no life forms. They left the Dyson Sphere resupplied and started heading back to Federation space. Along the way they found a subspace river which allowed them to get back in only two months time.
