Editing USS Paladin (NCC-52776) (section)

=== The Unexpected Odyssey: The Sphere ===
'''''Stardate 2407.01.30'''''. [[Michael Ian O'Connor]] is named [[Second Officer]]. Patrolling the Romulan Neutral Zone in case the Romulans decided to take advantage of the [[Federation Civil War]], the ''USS Paladin'' was suddenly pulled into uncharted space, 530 light years off course. 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.
