Since 2379 when the Actions of the USS Enterprise against the Shinzon that thwarted a bid by the Romulan Military, and Remans from taking over the Romulan Star Empire, a new Romulan senate has open up discussions on a possible Federation alliance.
This did not sit well with the Klingons. Of all the civilizations in the Federation, they voted against the alliance, and threatened to end their alliance with the Federation. Chancellor Martok, trying to quail a possible war with the Federation, as well as yet another revolution decided to close Klingon space to the Romulans, but would allow Federation trade into their borders. In 2381, the Romulan needing minerals from the Gorn Hegemony, signed a trade agreement with the Gorn. The Federation fearing that this region could destabilized began upgrading the facilities at Starbase 140 near the Cestus system.
For the past 60 years, Bellatrix has been a smugglers playground, and a strong hold of the Orion Syndicate. With the Romulan alliance in place, the Syndicate was hit hard as the Romulan Ale trade had totally collapse. Fearing a Federation buildup in Cestus would also preclude their booming smuggling trade in Bellatrix, and Kessik may come under scrutiny as well, the Orions begin a flurry of Pirating in the area.
By 2386, the area is a mess. Only 62% of all total freight is reaching it's destination, and the Gorns are ready to take action on their own. Also, reports of a Klingon Bird of Prey attacking Romulan freighters have started their conflict to smolder. So much that the Romulan Senate reactivated the Tal Shiar.
The USS Crusader is the first ship to arrive, it's mission Protect the shipping lanes, prevent piracy, and make it known that the Federation will protect this alliance, at all cost.

FIRST STEPS Part 2
The Crusader finds itself powerless after being struck by a Temporal mine. Although there are quite a few casualties, there is no damage to the ship. Ensign Ozmunde believes the mines contained an Electro Magnetic Pulse, and power would not be restored for 2 hours. As the ship tries to get itself together, unknown is waht is happening outside the ship. Is the Bird of Prey attacking the Convoy, or are waiting off the bow of the ship ready to pounce.

FIRST STEPS Part 4
The IKS R'hiekeem had arrived to assist us. Captain H'roth was searching for a rouge federation runabout that attacked a few Klingon freighters. With Teshurr return with 12 Romulan survivors, he brings the data records from the freighter to be examined. A few key puzzling pieces are founds. The Bird of Prey had no life signs, yet 9 Klingons attacked the crew. Dr Jarani also noticed that what wounds were inflicted, none were life threatening which a Klingon would assuredly done.
Meanwhile Ensign Allen, and Ozmunde concentrated their efforts on the mine, and uncovered some interesting parts from Romulan, and Cardassian. They suspect Orions are behind this but they need a direct link. Yuna, and Vicky retrieve Tactical, and Navigational telemetry, as Jonathon worked to prepare the freighter for towing back to Starbase 140.
Dr Jarani has her hands full of angry Romulans, and Captain Greene has some bad prospects to think about as they return.

Stardate 64017.93
The Bridge crew was in place as an incoming transmission is received by LtJG James.
"Captain, I got Fleet Admiral Lucifel on the comm", she announces.
"Put it through", the Captain replies. Soon the screen shows the Admiral behind her desk, her mood somewhat pleasant.
"Admiral, to what I owe the pleasure"?
"Captain, I trust you and your crew are well rested. Unfortunately, it's time to get back to work. Although things are somewhat chaotic out in this sector, this are not what they seem to be."
Candela, twitches a bit. "I Understand Admiral", she replies.
"The Klingon Convoy out of Kessik prefers to await it's on Klingon escort, so you are to proceed, and patrol the Bellatrix sector. I don't want the Klingons confusing you for the pirates, also there are suspicions you meet be compromised by the Orions. The further away you are, the better". The Admiral finishes, her mood a bit more serious.
"Captain I understand Admiral". Candela replies, her mood unchanged but a bit more confident.

Intrusions
The Crusader rendezvous with the Federation was interrupted by 2 lone pirates masquerading as Klingon Bird of Prey's. Although the Crusader dispatched of one fairly easily, they are sent to continue patrolling the area. As they patrol around the Ramun V they pick up possible signs of a Pirate outpost on the surface of the planet.
