By order of StarFleet Command, the Valkyrie's scheduled repairs have been delayed for an unexpected urgent mission. The most critical repairs will be made before departure, minor repairs will be made en-route or when the mission is completed.
At approximately 75 light years from Bajor, close to the Ferengi border lies the New Amsterdam Colony. Though originally a terran colony, it has now become the home to a large population of Betazoid colonists, Bajorans, and various other species as well. However now a group of Cardassian refugees has arrived on the planet as well, and to make matters worse they've landed close to the Bajoran colonists.
Tensions are already high, and because of the two races' past history, the possibility of a bloody conflict is quite real. The New Amsterdam government implored the Federation to mediate, and as a result the USS Valkyrie is now about to be dispatched to do just that.
