In the Hidden Frontier timeline:
- The Archein attempt an invasion of the Beta Quadrant through artificial wormholes from the Andromeda Galaxy. A joint Klingon–Federation operation to destroy the warpgate at its source succeeds but leaves the USS Odyssey stranded in Andromeda. (Star Trek: Odyssey)
- Corey Aster and senior officers of the USS Helena conspire to acquire the materials to create an Omega molecule in order to build a slipstream drive they can use to rescue the Odyssey. They become fugitives from Starfleet as a consequence. The task force pursuing them is infiltrated by Section 31 officers aiming to steal the Omega technology for themselves. An Omega detonation near Risa leaves the resort stranded in a volume of space impassable by warp drive. (Star Trek: The Helena Chronicles)
