ADVENTURES IN THE HEART OF THE FEDERATION
The Beta Rigel system is home to fourteen planets, two stars, an asteroid belt and home to multiple indigenous races, including the Chelon, Zami, Kaylar and Jelna. Collectively known by the term "Rigellians", they have lived in relative harmony as the United Rigel Worlds. One of the most densely packed regions of the Alpha Quadrant, there is a considerably high amount of travel through this system, being a gateway to the Beta Quadrant and to the Vega Colonies. Trade is high in the system, bringing hundreds of thousands of individuals in search of business and recreation.
In late 2399, the majority of the Rigel system voted to leave the United Federation of Planets, a consequence of the Federation's perceived indifference and lack of urgent response to several high-level crises that shook the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. All but one of the Rigellian Planets chose to live outside of the Federation for the first time since its joining in 2202. Only Rigel IV, the last hold-out, remains a full-fledged member of the UFP, at a time when refugees from recent events are fleeing to wherever they can find shelter and hope.
Starbase 134, better known as 'Chimera' to the personnel assigned there, was founded in the mid 22nd century. It was practically demolished during a sneak attack during the 2257 conflict between the federation and Klingon Empire, with the structure that replaced it not having any serious upgrades in the last 30 years.
Chimera is home to a diverse crew which reflects its surroundings. It has been said that the Rigel system is home to just about every species from the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, with the crew of Starbase 134 certainly being indicative of that.
The crew of Starbase 134 finds themselves deep in the heart of the final frontier, having to depend on one another during a time of immense political upheaval that not only could potentially threaten their home, but the billions of innocent lives who live nearby...
