The second chapter from the New Berlin Times Bestseller's excerpts "POST WAR: The Khitomer Alliance 2374-2385" now available on the Ohniaka III Project
Mercy of the Colossus records the history of the United Federation of Planets' initial 2378-79 response to and relations building with the Liberated Borg Cooperation, with materials primarily excerpted by Tranquility Press editor John Concagh. Taken from Solora Hasegawa's original text examining the state of the Alpha Quadrant post-Dominion War, these excerpts chart how a single emergency hail from a plague-stricken Cooperation brought Starfleet, the Federation Council, and President Min Zife's administration to action and into the Ohniakan Accords of 2379.
This second chapter chronicles Task Force Keter's high-stakes sprint to Ohniaka III, the ghastly heights of the Cortical Plague, and the beginnings of Federation/Cooperation relations with Paving Good Intentions: Reconstitution and the Road to 2379.
