** With the arrival of six new prototype fighter and a squad of marines, the crew of the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' sets off to an remote star system with an indigenous, reportedly pre-warp, civilization to work out some of the fighters' kinks while hidden by the system's asteroid field. Just as the tests get underway, the "pre-warp" civilization successfully completes it's first warp flight, accidentally resulting in a massive subspace shockwave that cripples all three active fighters plus their escorts and concurrently knocks out many of the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin']]''s major systems. Senedipitously, the shockwave knocked out the AI-driven prototype "Gremlin" fighter just as it is about to destroy Lt. J.G. Kolk's prototype "Hammerhead." As the ship struggles to recover the downed fighters, their escorts, its malfunctioning systems, and perhaps a bit of its dignity, the crew also carefully conducts first contact with the locals, the [[Sya-Negan]]. As if the situation weren't complicated enough, a renegade from the alternate universe discovered in the crew's last mission, "Evil" Jackford B. Kolk (no-longer a Starfleet officer in any universe), escapes from the bridge and terrorizes the crew in a deranged quest for revenge on Lt. Cmdr. [[Wilde, Danny|Danny Wilde]]. The crew eventually re-captures "Evil Kolk," placing him in stasis and his stasis chamber behind a force-field in the brig, but not before he seriously wounds [[Wilde, Danny|Wilde]], leaving him in a coma, and makes contact with a mysterious emotion-affecting lifeform that eludes capture or reasoned contact with the crew. | ** With the arrival of six new prototype fighter and a squad of marines, the crew of the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' sets off to an remote star system with an indigenous, reportedly pre-warp, civilization to work out some of the fighters' kinks while hidden by the system's asteroid field.

** When the ''[[USS Ronin]]'' rendezvouses with the ''[[USS Independence-A|USS Independence]]'' and ''[[USS Ursa Major]]'' at [[Wheeler Colony]], a diplomatic mission to the surface is cut short by a wormhole that momentarily disrupts all power on the three ships and draws them to the far edge of the galaxy, directly adjacent to the Galactic Barrier, leaving the First Officers in charge. Tragically, when the power fails on the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'', the Flight Deck door happens to be open and nearly everyone on the Deck is blown out into open space. When the casualties are all counted, 27 are found dead from explosive decompression. Before the crew can mourn, however, the ''[[USS Independence-A|Independence]]'' reports an intruder and two alien fleets appear on sensors. One fleet warns the Starfleet ships that they may have a hostile alien on board. The other informs them that they believe the Federation ships have "the One" on board. Each of the Starfleet ships have severe damages due to their trip through the wormhole, so the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' deploys all of it's fighters to screen the wounded starships from the incoming flotillas. Before the flotilla's arrive, however, the blue non-corporeal being, who injures itself repairing some of the ''[[USS Independence-A|Independence']]''s problems, gets a power transfusion from the ''[[USS Independence-A|Indy']]''s warp core and undergoes a transfiguration. At the same time, those left behind on [[Wheeler Colony|Wheeler]] reconstruct the activation of the wormhole and re-open it, sending a communications probe through to contact the lost ships. As soon as they realize the gate has re-opened, all three First Officers order their ships through, the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin']]''s fighters and shuttlecraft leading the way. En-route, one of the ships, a prototype left over from the [[Sya-Negan]] mission explodes due to faulty construction, killing the pilot. His is the first death of an officer directly under Lt. Kolk's command. | ** When the ''[[USS Ronin]]'' rendezvouses with the ''[[USS Independence-A|USS Independence]]'' and ''[[USS Ursa Major]]'' at [[Wheeler Colony]], a diplomatic mission to the surface is cut short by a wormhole that momentarily disrupts all power on the three ships and draws them to the far edge of the galaxy, directly adjacent to the Galactic Barrier, leaving the First Officers in charge.

** | ** En route back to [[Deep Space 17]] for repairs, the ''[[USS Ronin]]'' passes through the [[Aurona Sector|Aurona Nebula]] and suffers a sudden cascade failure, necessitating a complete evacuation to a nearby Class-L planet which the crew would come to call [[Rakis]]. Some of the crew never manage to make it off the ship, staving off death by being beamed to the runabout ''USS Wye'', where the craft's sensors alert them to the presence of small [[Ferengi]] vessel come to "salvage" the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]''. From there Lt. Cmdr. [[Wilde, Danny|Wilde]] and Petty Officer [[Doubleaux, Marcel|Doubleaux]] beam to the bridge, using it's own power to restore life support and main sensors, while Cmdr. [[Walker, Benjamin J.|Walker]] and Ens. [[Garlone 301|Garlone]] ramain on the Flight Deck. On the planet, the majority of the crew's escape pods land in the equatorial regions while one pod and the Captain find themselves in the polar region. An indigenous life form resembling the Worms of Frank Herbert's ''Dune'' whom the crew comes to call Land Sharks begin attacking and eating the newly arrived link on their somewhat limited food chain. On the pole, Captain [[Mar, Idril|Mar]] find safety in a cave while the main camp is forced to be a bit more ingenious. After a the first bloody attack, the investigation of two dead Sharks lead Security to construct a device that disables the Sharks' mode of travel through the desert dands while Engineering develops an Impulse powered water cannon that kills them. In orbit, [[Walker, Benjamin J.|Walker]] and [[Garlone 301|Garlone]] disable one [[Ferengi]] while [[Wilde, Danny|Wilde]] and [[Doubleaux, Marcel|Doubleaux]] strike a deal with their DaiMon, Nekil. The two small groups then restore minimal power and make contact with the ''[[USS Wellington]]'', which Starfleet has sent to investigate the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin']]''s disapperance. The next morning, the crew's ingenuity pays off just moments before the ''[[USS Wellington|Wellington]]'' contacts Lt. Cmdr. [[Maria, Cara|Maria]] and begins the evacuation from [[Rakis]]. | ||
