Space, the final frontier. Or is it? In a remote corner of the Alpha Quadrant, a new and unique project has been started. Here, in the distant Bel System we find a new type of star base, one unlike ever seen before. This star base, wielding the codename 'Maelstrom', utilizes the sun's power to create a rift in space, a vortex much alike a wormhole, for a brief period of time, allowing whatever passes through it to travel to any part of the galaxy, or even to distant galaxies. These stories follow the adventures of its crew as they travel towards new destinations, meeting new friends and encountering new foes. These are the adventurers of the Star Gate.
Previously:
David Rolans, a young StarFleet officer, has recently been promoted to command the star base that goes by the codename of "Maelstrom." The young commanding officer knows little more about it than the station's name and is taken there by the enigmatic Captain Black.
After following the captain through a stable wormhole he discovers what Maelstrom really is: A very large starbase, engineered specially to generate a stable wormhole.
Then Rolans makes a disturbing discovery: the small moon near the Maelstrom turns out to be a space station...
