USS Leif Erikson

Cartographer's Folly

What begins as a routine cartographic assignment becomes a descent into erased history that leads the USS Leif Erikson into a mystery that Starfleet would rather remain unsolved...

Mission Description

Starfleet Command reactivates a long dormant survey mission in a sector known as The Gilese Verge, which was disregarded as “strategically unremarkable.” The original ship tasked with charting it, the USS Winslow, disappeared without a trace after only a partial mapping, and all of the information from the mission was sealed.

Now, the USS Leif Erikson is ordered to complete this mission, and discover what happened to the Winslow and her crew.

USS Leif Erikson: Cartographer's Folly

Captain Scott Bowman sat behind the desk in his ready room with a PADD in one hand and a glass of bourbon in the other. With a sigh, he set the PADD down onto his desk and leaned back into his chair, covering his eyes with his now free hand. They had been tracking a rogue comet through the Thalos [...]
