Editing Federation Civil War (section)

=== Pre-Conflict ===

* Vice-Admiral Robert LoDona takes command of Freedom Squadron when Admiral Greeley is sent to Earth for reassignment.

* An unstable wormhole opens, staying open only long enough for a Sovereign class ship to come through. The ship is the [[USS Paladin]], commanded by [[Eva Straton|Captain Straton]], from an Alternate universe just after the '[[Dominion War|Dominion Wars]]' and running many years behind. The ship is scrapped and the crew reassigned after debriefing.

* [[Starbase Geneva]] is completed and commissioned by SCADO 12, Station Geneva is abandoned and destroyed.

* Vice-Admiral Robert LoDona becomes commander of the 52nd exploratory fleet and is promoted to Full Admiral. 

* Starbase Geneva, [[USS Nimitz]], USS Wraith, USS Freedom, [[USS Boudicca]] and the Cochrane Research Facility are assigned to the 52nd Fleet. Cochrane Research Facility is later transfered to a Meredith Class Starship, which is renamed [[USS Cochrane]]. 

* The [[USS Nimitz]] is chosen for a secret archeological mission, and disappears from all official channels for a month, before reappearing at Earth for debriefing and to challenge Admiral Doenitz, who tried to have her destroyed. 

* Admiral LoDona pulls all ships in his fleet to former 'Freedom Squadron' space and sends a complete list of proof and condemnations to various officials within Starfleet, the Federation, and every Fleet Commander, regarding the activites of Admiral Rodrigo Doenitz. Thus begins the conflict.

* Admiral Doenitz takes control of the office of the President of the Federation. The former President, [[Rondar Nell]], disappears. He is believed killed or captured, but in actuality, he disappeared.
