"Closest in the sector." Four words that Captains hate to hear. The USS Athena has launched with a skeleton crew as they are one of the 'closest in the sector' to help aid the people of Aramal III It is 2390, three years after the destruction of Romulus. Chaos continues to plague the Beta quadrant. The will of multiple groups work against each other to decide what the future of the Romulan people looks like. The Federation works with the provincial Romulan government to restore prosperity, stability and security to its people. The Tal¡¯Shiar works to topple the new government and shape the Empire to their liking. The Klingons struggle to honor their alliance with the Federation as others in the Empire want the glory of toppling their age-old enemy. In the end the Klingon High Council pledged to honor their alliance with the Federation with the caveat that they themselves would not help the Romulans. They also pledged to not stop any Klingon who wanted to strike at the Romulans. Last, but not least, a forgotten group of individuals watch unseen from a distance. What their plans are, is unknown. The USS Athena is a new sim set in a quasi-Abrams'esque AU. (Romulan was destroyed but Nero was unsuccessful in his plans). The events of Discovery and Picard are not part of the sim. The sim promises intrigue, action, drama, exploration, and plenty of character interaction.
