History
March 2401: Infiltrate and Liberate
During the Lost Fleet crisis, the USS Ingenuity was assigned to an assault wing led by the USS Polaris under the command of Fleet Admiral Allison Reyes. On March 16, 2401, the USS Ingenuity participated in the Battle of Nasera, an offensive that successfully retook the key industrial center from Dominion forces. The USS Ingenuity then remained in orbit to assist with the humanitarian mission to rebuild the wartorn world of Nasera II.
June 2401: Children of the Borg
As part of Polaris Squadron, the USS Serenity was deployed to Wolf 359 to hunt for a Borg homing beacon that had appeared and then gone missing. When a distress call was received from the Beta Serpentis System, Admiral Reyes took the USS Ingenuity to Beta Serpentis III to investigate. Unfortunately, Admniral Reyes was taken hostage by the Borg-worshipping colonists, Commander Cora Lee became trapped within the Borg-corrupted Salvage Facility 21-J, and the Ingenuity was disabled by Borg-based dampening weapons. Only the last moment arrival of the USS Diligent and the USS Serenity ended up preventing the plot of the colonists unfolding, one that was meant to summon the Borg through a transwarp conduit in the system's center.
