Secret operations, sealed orders, high-risk military special operations ... such dangerous missions have been at the core of the Star Trek Vanguardseries since its inception. Four great nations-the Federation, the Klingon Empire, the Tholian Assembly, and the Romulan Star Empire-have all taken tremendous risks in their race to learn and control the ancient technologies of the ancient interstellar hegemons known as the Shedai. Now get ready for an all-new adventure in the Taurus Reach on Starbase 47 with the starship crews, undercover agents, civilian colonists, and alien power players of the Vanguardsaga, based on Star Trek: The Original Series.
