New Frontier Lyrics

Here in the future
A united humanity
Travels the galaxy to seek
New races and cultures
To discover new ways to be
What an adventure to live!

Our Starship goes
Where no one has gone before
Where empires fall
Or new ones are born!

Open a New Frontier
Carry hope, carry aid to the planets in fear
Open a New Frontier
Carry hope, carry aid to the forgotten worlds

Strange is the crew
Made of humans and aliens alike
Ready to serve or to fight
All dedicated
To the noblest ideals of all
Duty and justice’s their call

(Storyline from the booklet)

Time, 2411 A.D.
Place, Mars orbit

All is ready: the first of a new generation of Earth
starships just left the Space Yard orbitting aournd Mars
and it's about to make its first jump. The engine revs
up, and in the blink of an eye the E.F.S. Drakkar disappears
from sight. The Drakkar is the first E. F. starship
with aliens in its crew. Humans were finally admitted
to the officers-exchange program in place between
some of the most important races of the galactic community.
Command of the ship has been given to Captain
Youssef Jamil Hassan, renown for being one of the
most skilled diplomats, as well as a master strategist, in
the whole Federation. His mission is to bring aid to a
most troubled region of the galaxy, where strange incidents
and epidemics are putting entire planets at risk.
He knows that he has been trusted with a great responsibility.
as the first human Captain to guide such a crucial
humanitarian mission; but as much as he feels the
burden, he also revels in the pride and excitement for
what is expecting him beyond the stars. Now, if only
he could understand why in the world he, a man of
middle-eastern descent, felt the irresistible need to
christen his new ship with the name of a Viking
vessel... Oh well. The universe is a place of mysteries.
