Search To Begin For U.S.S. Albion
by Jennifer MacBride — staff reporter
STARBASE HATTERAS – Under the command of Capt. Jonathan Hunter, Constitution-class heavy cruiser U.S.S. Pathfinder prepares to depart Starbase Hatteras on June 1, 2265.
Ship and crew have remained at the starbase for the past couple of months as the Pathfinder underwent repairs sustained from its involvement in the Battle of Moekata.
However, the ship will be leaving Hatteras without completion of all repairs.
“The ship is well enough along that whatever remains to be done with regards to repairs can likely be completed as we go,” says Captain Hunter.
“What is important right now is that we get out there to determine what has happened to the U.S.S. Albion and her crew,” he continues.
Starfleet reports that the Larson-class destroyer U.S.S. Albion was investigating a possible pirate attack on a civilian transport, causing ship and crew to divert and investigate.
Since beginning their investigation several hours ago, the ship has gone silent and not reported in.
Being the only available cruiser within the region, the Pathfinder and its crew are being dispatched to seek out the missing Albion within the Hatteran Expanse.

The year is 2265. seven years have passed since the name Vulcan passed from a desert world to a black hole absorbing all that step too close.
