Theta Fleet welcomes the Ark Royal to Task Force 23.

    “There will be no peace as long as Kirk lives,”
 The galaxy was watching closely when Klingon Ambassador Kamarag addressed the Federation Council, where he promised a continuation of hostilities unless his demands for justice were met.
 Four years have passed since then, and true to the ambassador’s word, the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire remain in a tense state of Cold War.
 It has become the responsibility of Starfleet to defend Federation space from Klingon aggression and prevent the Klingon Empire from gaining more influence among non-aligned states.
 In Sector 262, at the distant linear edge of the Organian Neutral Zone, the Klingons have made progress in courting independent powers, threatening the power balance and opening an avenue for invasion. Even worse, Starfleet Intelligence has picked up evidence of advanced weapons research and development taking place in the region.
 In response to the growing Klingon threat, Starfleet Command had dispatched the Constitution (refit) class starship USS Ark Royal to Sector 262. Her mission: to wave the flag, to counter Klingon influence in the region, and investigate the Intelligence reports.
