“This is no mere temporal incursion. This is an invasion, a conquest. We must put an end to this before the Krenim war machine engulfs our entire quadrant.”
One year after their miraculous return to Earth, the crew of the Voyager are settling into civilian life.
Janeway has been promoted to Admiral, Paris & B’Elanna have welcomed their child. Despite all of their trials and tribulations, Voyager’s crew is beginning to put their arduous journey behind them…
All but Seven-of-Nine.
Unable to settle into a peaceful life on Earth, Seven finds herself adrift in the Neutral Zone, picking fights with mercenaries, slavers, and just about anyone who looks at her wrong.
However, a chance encounter with an old enemy will drag Seven back into the fray as she is forced to take on the task of saving the galaxy… alone.
“Well, I am dangerous, Admiral Janeway, and anyone who would seek to prey on the Neutral Zone will see why.”

Year of Hell: A Voyager Legacy
One year after the USS Voyager’s triumphant return to Earth, Admiral Janeway has settled into Starfleet Command, and Tom Paris and B’Elanna Torres are busy raising their newborn. Seven-of-Nine, however, cannot find peace. She lives in the Neutral Zone, protecting the vulnerable—until fate draws her into a new battle against the Krenim Imperium.
These storylines plunge you back into the drama of post-Voyager life, where heroes attempt to move on from the challenges of the Delta Quadrant—yet find themselves pulled right back into conflict.
New Missions
- Eight Core Missions (Levels 42+)
Join Seven-of-Nine as you confront the Krenim Imperium, one of the most dangerous threats to ever cross into Federation space. This storyline brings you back to the Delta Quadrant for an epic battle to rewrite history. - Three Side Missions (Levels 35+)
In Academy of Paris, help rescue Tom Paris and his Starfleet cadets from Orion slavers. Though lighter in tone, these missions still pack a punch, offering a welcome change of pace before the intensity of battle resumes.
New Invading Entities: The Krenim
The Krenim Imperium, led by Annorax, has launched a devastating temporal incursion into the Alpha Quadrant. With each incursion, the Krenim distort time itself to pursue vengeance against Admiral Janeway and the Voyager crew.
Krenim Ship Types
- Static Krenim Ships
Locked partially outside the timestream, these enemies increase their Isolytic Damage cumulatively each round.
Countermeasure: Anti-Static Exocomps (DTI Faction Store). - Charged Krenim Ships
Equipped with experimental quantum warp drives, these ships develop an Apex Barrier that grows stronger every round.
Countermeasure: Anti-Charged Exocomps (DTI Faction Store).
Krenim Invasion Mechanics
- 17 New Systems near the Delta Quadrant, each populated by Static and Charged Krenim hostiles.
- Up to Two Ships can be brought to these battles.
- No Health Regeneration: Krenim ships retain their damage from one fight to the next, letting you whittle them down strategically.
- Battle Rewards:
- Static Wreckage (from Static Krenim)
- Charged Wreckage (from Charged Krenim)
- Encrypted Intelligence (from both)
These encounters offer a deep tactical experience—cooperate with fellow commanders to manage your approach and ensure the Krenim threat is thoroughly dismantled before they can further unravel the timestream.
