==Part I: The Mission==

In Mid 2408 the [[USS Rosenante]] was assigned to explore a newly discovered region of space that exited from the Tau Sigma Flow of the Subspace River. This region had been discovered by an unmanned survey probe and opened into the [[Beltanis Stellar Nursery]].

When the Rosenante arrived, the captain decided to move into the nebula in the hopes of exploring an undocumented phenomenon. This phenomenon turned out to be an exceptionally rare event known as a [[Subspace Bubble]]. Unfortunately, the bubble burst slamming the vessel with a Class Six [[Graviton|Gravimetric Wave]].

The Rosenante was terribly damaged; suffering irreparable damage to the ship's Main Deflector Array and Power distribution network. With the ship's shields failing, the vessel hurriedly returned to the safe-zone at the terminus of the Subspace river.

After a couple of days of assessment and around-the-clock repairs, it was determined that the Rosenante would not be able to return to Federation space via the [[Subspace River]], as they could not open the river terminus without the use of their [[Navigational Deflector]].
