Captain’s Log, Stardate 78114.3.

  The Camelot returns from the frontier carrying scars we did not expect. The V’shar — a species unlike anything in Federation records — struck without warning, hollowing entire worlds and leaving only silence behind. We engaged them at the edge of known space and survived, though not without cost.

  Commander Philip Banks uncovered a disturbing truth: the V’shar Queen can reach into the minds of those she marks. She touched his thoughts. She learned his fears. And she is not finished with him.

  The Klingon Empire has issued a call for aid. Qo’noS stands on the brink. The Camelot is en route.

  I fear the war we escaped was only the beginning.
