Universe and Setting

It is the year 2422...

The Delta Quadrant has been overrun by Alpha Quadrant powers in the wake of the U.S.S. Voyager's journey home and the knowledge that the Borg are not quite the fearsome foe they once were.

The Gerosh wormhole is the gateway by which this expansion has begun and it is guarded by The Starfleet's Sentinel Station near the Hope One Dyson Sphere. A vast expanse of the Delta Quadrant now harbors 3 stations and numerous Starfleet vessels to protect territory claimed by the United Federation of Planets.

Not to be outdone, the Romulans and Cardassians have claimed their own piece of the quadrant.

But with this expansion, other powers in the quadrant are in a state of unrest. The Federation itself has recently seen its own schism.

Several key members of the admiralty have splintered off to form the Delta Freedom Alliance, taking their ships with them. These men and women have joined with planetary governments to form a sort of protectorate, free of these expansionist tendencies. Their goal is to hold the line. They don't require planets in their region to adhere to the strict rules and policies of the Federation. They seek cooperation for the purposes of protection and exploration. These are the same goals held by the Star Fleet of old.

The Axel's tales may take place anywhere between the trade planet Setlin and the Hope One Dyson Sphere and as such, they could encounter any number of possible threats, allies, and strange new worlds.
