The Three Firms Scandal and the liberation of the skunktaurs has pushed a conspiracy within Star Fleet to the brink of implosion. Amid all this, chakats Quicksilver and Auric, themselves products of illegal genetic experimentation, return from their self imposed exile, forever changing the future of Earth and the Stellar Federation.

Notes about the timeline:

* Initial point of divergence is in the latter half of the 22nd century (the formation of the SIG)
* Major divergence from the canon timeline will not happen until 2229
* The Transporter is invented early, sometime between 2190 and 2200. Replicator technology is quickly adopted for industrial and research purposes, but Transporters will not be considered safe enough for their namesake use until decades later.
