A week after the Champlain left Ivor Prime, the crew were once more assembled on the bridge. An unexpected warp vessel had been discovered deep in uncharted space, and adding to the mystery, it exhibited a Federation warp signature. The Champlain set course for the nearby planet of Irlix, assumed to be the source of the mysterious warp-capable vessel, and began to plan for two simultaneous operations, a first contact mission, and a covert investigation of the Irlixian acquisition of warp technology.

A day later, however, the mission was in tatters. Caught off guard by the Irlixians firing upon them, the Champlain was blind-sided as she retreated by the cloaked USS Wyvern waiting in ambush. The Wyvern pressed the attack mercilessly. But in that moment, Wolfe seemed stricken with paralysis, almost catatonia. It cost him, and the ship, his life. A photon torpedo strike near the bridge left the command chair a devastated wreck, the explosion of which claimed the lives of several other senior personnel and left Counsellor Rhinehart badly burned.

Thanks to quick thinking by Lt. Frazier and the surviving crew members, the dire situation was rescued, and the Wyvern was disabled. A boarding party led by Lt. Janeway was able to negotiate the surrender of the Doenitz crew, and bring the nebula-class home to Geneva as a trophy ship.

The Champlain's first voyage, barely a month in length, had come to a noble, if tragic end.
