Captain Smithwick order the Nebula to the sector and the ship began a series of long range scans looking for any sign of ships from the seditionist 52nd Fleet operating in the area. After several days of fuitless searches, The Wyvern turned her attention to the planet of Ivor Prime where she discovered the USS Champlain. A three nacelled Galaxy class variant belonging to the 52nd Fleet.

Smithwick ordered an immediate attack despite O'Shea's warnings of caution. In the end the Wyvern was forced to retreat, when the Champlain utilized modified shuttles to mimic the Champlain's sensor signature. The Wyvern escaped suffering some significant damage. The Champlain chose not to pursue the damaged vessel. The Wyvern put in to Starbase DS-6 for repairs before heading out again in search of the Champlain. Captain Smithwick took a personal interest in the vessel and soon became obsessed with the destruction of the larger ship. 

The Wyvern returned to the Ivor system looking for any sign of the Champlain. After searching the remainder of the system and that two other adjacent systems, the Wyvern was forced to give up the chase, but only for a short while. It wasn't long before fate would bring the Wyvern and the Champlain back together again. 

In the interim, The Wyvern locates and captures a shuttlecraft carrying Ensign [[Sam Moto| Moto]] transferring from the USS Paladin, a ship of the 52nd fleet. Moto is ordered incarcerated. He is to be conveyed back to Earth to stand trial for treason and sedition.
