| abstract | - Captain Sulu took the USS Excelsior near the Klingon border when the moon Praxis exploded. The explosion opened a vortex in which the Federation warship USS Vengeance emerged. The Vengeance had a jet black hull. She was designed by Commander John Harrison (aka Khan Noonien Singh) and commanded by the evil Admiral Alexander Marcus. The Klingons attacked the Vengeance with 3 K'Tinga-class battle cruisers and she destroyed all 3 but suffered bad damage. Sulu reported the incident to Starfleet, which sent the entire Federation First Fleet to intercept the Vengeance. A fierce battle ensued in which 6 Federation starships were destroyed and another 10 suffered bad damage. The Vengeance was not so lucky. She was destroyed with all hands lost, including Admiral Marcus.
