In late 2406, during the [[Federation Civil War]], the [[USS Champlain]] entered the [[Irlix]] system to investigate the anomolous sensor readings that had detected a [[Federation]] Warp signature in this otherwise unexplored system.

The Champlain entered the system only to discover that the local inhabitants, the [[Irlixian]]s had somehow developed a Federation style [[Warp drive]] despite the fact that the records did not indicate that the [[United Federation of Planets]] had made contact with this species, nor had they explored this region of space.

[[Image:USS Wyvern (Nebula Class).jpg|thumb|left|The USS Wyvern]] In an attempt to gather some intelligence, and make some sense of their readings, the Champlain's operations team attempted to hack into the Irlixian starship's computer system. However, before they could gather any useful information, their attack was detected and stopped.

To make matters worse, A [[Admiral Doenitz|Doenitz Loyalist]] starship, the [[USS Wyvern]], decloaked and attacked the Champlain. In the attack, the Captain of the Champlain was killed and the First officer incapacitated. The end result, however, was that the Wyvern was captured and both Federation starships left the system without investigating the sensor readings further.
