1.0 Deep Space Nine Introduction
Opens the chapter with a statement from Federation President Jaresh-Inyo on the unprecedented galactic turmoil facing Starfleet and the UFP.
Deep Space 9
The fact that the Federation has not fallen totally into the hands of its enemies is attributable solely to the vigilance and resourcefulness of its people, the stalwart and selfless defenders of our member worlds and outposts. Never before in the history of interstellar civilization have we witnessed galactic turmoil on the present scale. The struggles we are enduring are irrefutable evidence of that. Whether or not Starfleet and the UFP can continue to make a stand on so many fronts is simply not known.
But we will try.
Jaresh-Inyo
President
United Federation of Planets
