This story portrays a darker, more "gritty" version of the Star Trek universe.
On the whole, it follows the values and ideals that the various TV series portray. However, I prefer calling my version a more "realistic" view of humanity... I also take a few deliberate liberties with 'Trek continuity - which I do try to adhere to - in an attempt to tie the story tighter to some episodes we may have seen, and liked. This is my first 'Trek Fan Fiction story, and English is not my native language, so please - go easy on me.

Contains major spoilers for the following episodes:
DSN: "The Die is Cast" & "The Way of the Warrior" (Book One)

May contain spoilers for other episodes as well.
