The Federation Starship U.S.S. Righteous - presumed lost before the Battle of Wolf 359 - was under the command of Captain Nikolai Andropov when it was unexpectedly flung from 2366 to 2377 by Q. In 2366, the Righteous was patrolling the area of the Alpha Quadrant that the Cardassian Union was fighting with the Federation for control over before Admiral Hansen ordered the Righteous to join the fleet at Wolf 359. Needless to say, it's return to 2377 and docking at a Cardassian built, Federation-run space station in the Bajoran Sector was a bit of a shock for the Righteous crew, but to the family of those crewmembers who were missing for 11 years, the sight of the missing Excelsior-class ship docked at Upper Pylon 2, was going to be something more.

I've always loved the Interactive "game" Star Trek: Borg, and I thought... "What all would happen to that crew after they left during TNG's Season 3 to after the Dominion War? How would they adapt to the change of the Federation's Starfleet from an organization of peaceful exploration to a war hardened, more military-isque fleet with the introduction of combat ships like the Defiant, Sovereign, and Prometheus-class ships?" -- Hey, now there's a story.

This is version 1 of the image that I'll go back and tweak eventually. Once again, I find the lack of other traffic around the station to be disturbing, but I'm just finally grasping the hang of lighting the space station, let alone extra traffic.

As always, comments, opinions, (constructive only please, I'm shy) and tips are welcome.
