Bait and Switch is a Star Trek Online fanfic by StarSword-C, and a novelization of his Foundry mission series of same title.

The year is 2409 and the USS Bajor, a Galaxy-class starship under the command of Captain Kanril Eleya, is reassigned to the Beta Ursae Fleet Area for civil defense patrol. But what began as an ordinary duty posting becomes vastly more complicated when the Orion Syndicate launches a massive coordinated raid across much of the sector block.

The fic shares a universe with Red Fire, Red Planet.

Canon liberties[]

The story is intended to be mostly STO canon-friendly, with the following caveats:

  • It expands the length of time over which Star Trek Online's "Klingon War" story arc occurs to three years to make the speed of rank progression a little more sensible, even with Kanril Eleya having been fast-tracked to captain. Likewise, Kanril started as a veteran lieutenant junior grade with experience as an enlisted sailor rather than a totally green ensign.
  • The Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual is treated as a higher source for tech details than the shows, since they've been known to contradict themselves within the same episode.
