Rear Admiral Ollity Sään has built a career on seeing what others miss. When Starfleet Command sends him to take charge of Project ADREFT — a classified Avenger-class refit program buried within the troubled Merlynn repair facility — he expects inefficiency, loose procedures and bureaucratic resistance. What he finds is far worse: criminal neglect, compromised security, black-market contraband and a project on the verge of collapse.

With enemies watching from beyond the neutral zones and the Federation reeling from the Genesis crisis, Sään must rebuild more than a starship. He must assemble a team he can trust, expose corruption inside Starfleet’s own ranks, and protect a technological breakthrough that the Klingons, Romulans and others would kill to possess.

But as the battered USS Gallant becomes the first vessel chosen for the ADREFT refit, the project’s true importance begins to emerge. In a galaxy balanced on the edge of war, one ship — and the people determined to save her — may become the Federation’s best hope.

Project Adreft: The Beginnings is a Star Trek fan novella of duty, loyalty, intrigue and second chances, set against the backdrop of the movie-era Federation.
