[[Jason Fredricks]] sits in his {{MA|ready room}}, nearly asleep, but [[Lenerea Mendel]] informs him that he's receiving a private message from an unknown source. This forces him to wake up fully. On the other end of the transmission is an operative in [[Section 31]], a covert agency of the [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]], named [[Franklin Drake]].
  +

Drake tells him to report to the [[Donatu system]] because strange things have been happening there, such as ships having environmental issues and personnel being drained of their neural energy. A secondary concern is [[Cardassian]]s working for the [[True Way]] having a presence in the area. Jason agrees to the mission, but he asks Drake to send a request to [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Jorel Quinn]] for a pardon of [[Elisa Flores]], who assisted in a brief takeover of the {{USS|Leviathan|NCC-93151}} by a [[Romulan]] agent named [[Jarek Davis]].
  +

Drake agrees, but he reminds Jason to keep all of the information shared between them confidential. Jason then orders a cup of {{MA|coffee}} and walks onto the {{MA|bridge}}. He tells his crew the only thing he can tell them: their destination. Before they go to Donatu, however, he tells [[Ernie Hauser]] to take them to [[Earth]] so they can retrieve Elisa.

"Skirmish" is the thirteenth chapter of the first volume of Star Trek: Federation Legacy, written between July and October 2015 and published on 12 October 2015. It is authored by CaptFredricks.

Summary
Two months after the events at Celes and the Briar Patch, the crew of the USS Leviathan is sent to the Donatu system to discover why the True Way Alliance has been spotted there.

Teaser

Jason Fredricks sits in his ready room, nearly asleep, but Lenerea Mendel informs him that he's receiving a private message from an unknown source. This forces him to wake up fully. On the other end of the transmission is an operative in Section 31, a covert agency of the Federation, named Franklin Drake.

Drake tells him to report to the Donatu system because strange things have been happening there, such as ships having environmental issues and personnel being drained of their neural energy. A secondary concern is Cardassians working for the True Way having a presence in the area. Jason agrees to the mission, but he asks Drake to send a request to Fleet Admiral Jorel Quinn for a pardon of Elisa Flores, who assisted in a brief takeover of the USS Leviathan by a Romulan agent named Jarek Davis.

Drake agrees, but he reminds Jason to keep all of the information shared between them confidential. Jason then orders a cup of coffee and walks onto the bridge. He tells his crew the only thing he can tell them: their destination. Before they go to Donatu, however, he tells Ernie Hauser to take them to Earth so they can retrieve Elisa.
