When the United Federation of planets was plunged into civil war, Martin found himself promoted to the rank of Commander and the position of First Officer for the Wyvern under the command of Captain Angela Smithwick. Despite some personal reservations about the nature of Doenitz's rise to power, Martin continued to serve the UFP.

For the first part of the civil war the Wyvern particiapted in basic security patrols which brought them inot only limited conflict with elements of the 52nd fleet. The Wyvern was quickly making a reputation for itself when it captured the USS Forrester, A Nova Class Variant Ship (NCC-72701) commanded by Captain J'osrat Mathal. The larger more powerful vessel was surprised with her shields down and the Wyvern's security teams managed to board the vessel in quick order. The capture of the ship took place without a single loss of life. Commander Martin O'Shea led that boarding action personally and was awarded two commendations for his actions.
