*'''Mission Summary:'''
'''PART 1'''
The crew of USS Columbia is ordered to transport 170 Terran colonists to Pernipia Gamma IV.  This world is of tactical importance to Starfleet, and it is critical for the Federation to claim and colonize it swiftly.  The colonists are led by two differing leaders: Robert Carson and Mirielle Danvers.  It quickly becomes clear that the two colony leads have wildly different intentions and approaches.


Trouble begins when some of the livestock the colonists brought onboard show signs of sickness. After two cows are found dead, science and medical starts an intensive investigation.  Things get worse when a fire erupts in the guest quarters housing one of the colonists.  Fire suppression and security systems mysteriously fail, and two people are killed in the tragedy.
Captain {{n|Mal|Avatar}} was the first commanding officer of the USS Columbia. Commissioning under him, the starship was instrumental in many situations in the early 2380s.  


Meanwhile one deck below the fire a group of engineering and diplomatic officers find one of the colony engineers - Dr.Vivan Connell - tampering with the ship's engineering systems.  While they question the woman, a critically injured teenager stumbles out of a nearby jeffries tube and collapses.  The officers quickly transport the injured teen to sickbay, where he is identified as Noah Richardson - the youngest of a family of 5 brothers, all of which are miners.
{{heading|Under the Command of Benjamin Livingston|blue}}


The head of the Richardson family - Declan Richardson - appears near the scene of the fire, accusing Colony Lead Carson's right hand man Gerard of attacking and killing his brother Noah.  Declan is unaware that Noah survived, and he physically attacks Gerard.  Declan Richardson is intercepted by security and put under house arrest.
Since Captain Avatar retired from command of the Columbia, it remained as a close support vessel for Starbase 118. It was not until Captain {{n|Benjamin|Livingston}} took command that the [[nebula class]] starship began it's mission of exploration again.


The investigation, led by Ens. Tatash, Lt. James Kolk, Ens. Marcus Drake and Lt. Tyler Kelly, soon revealed that the fire was a carefully engineered arson. The victims (Aiden Richardson and his fiancée Kate Stone), were poisoned by snake venom before their quarters were set on fire. Doctor Drake also discovered that it was the same venom that killed one of the colonists' cows and gave LtCmdr. Brek a mild case of food poisoning.
{{heading|Brek Assumes Command|blue}}
When Captain Livingston suffered acute radiation poisoning, Commander {{n|Brek}} was chosen by Starfleet Command to assume command of the vessel. Under his guidance, the Columbia's mission to explore will continue to be carried out to its fullest.  


The crew also unveiled further issues: the diseased cows are a breed that was not supposed to be among Mrs Danvers' livestock.  A conversation between Dr. Connell and Declan Richardson reveals that Declan brought the cows onboard with the intent of killing off Danvers' cows and breeding his own to make a high profit.  Connell tells Declan Richardson that his baby brother Noah survived and is being tended by Starfleet.  Declan remains unaware that his brother Aiden was actually the on targeted and killed.
{{Columbia}}


The Richardson brothers have fallen foul of Robert Carson after discovering his plan to mine Kelbonite on Pernipia, and sell it on the black market.  Aiden discovered this and spoke about it while drunk, not understanding the implications of Kelbonite mining.  Noah and Ryan discovered Carson's plans to attack Aiden and tried to warn him or stop Carson, to no avail.  Dr. Connell may be working as a double agent as her programming was found to be the source of the system wide failure that allowed the Columbia's fire suppression systems to fail.  The cascade failure was framed on Lisa Danvers, the daughter of the second colony leader - but the Danvers family was quickly cleared of any role in the attacks.

Security works to bring Carson to justice while Cmdr. Ben Livingston, LtCmdr. Kael Thomas, Lt JG. Kendall Washburn and Ens. Santiago Montoya worked together on a safe method to pilot the mission pod to the surface of Pernipia.

In orbit, the crew contacts a civilian garbage scow spotted in the system, calling itself the ''Last Chance'', as well as the local Romulan Administrator residing on a small moon base. The crew of the ''Last Chance'' manage to convince Cmdr. [[Livingston, Benjamin|Livingston]] to allow their First Officer to join the away team to the surface of Avronis V to investigate some ruins which appear to be emitting an energy signature similar to the gateway encountered on [[ma:Iconia|Iconia]]. They take a modified shuttle to the surface and begin scanning the area. The bridge crew detect a communications signal sent from within the caves that simply says, "Gateway open." Meanwhile the away team verifies that the shuttle originated there, but before they can explore the ruins within the caves, a mysterious alien being approaches the landing party, and a voice, assumed to be of [[ma:Tal Shiar|Tal Shiar]] origin, warn them to leave within 5 minutes or be killed. They stall as best they can, gather more scans, and then are fired upon without warning. The team attempts to return to their shuttle, but are pinned down by enemy fire. The unidentified lifeform advances toward the Romulan guest and two Starfleet Officers, and the ''Columbia'' responds from orbit by vaporizing the being. Another shuttle is dispatched to provide covering fire from above. The away team is thus able to return to their shuttle and then the ship, but not before one of the Security members on the second shuttle is killed by Tal Shiar weapons fire. The Romulan Administrator sends for a nearby D'deridex class warbird to destroy the ''Last Chance'', but Cmdr. Livingston is able to persuade him to cancel the order by convincing the Captain of the Last Chance to provide a list of her employers so that the Administrator can begin effectively clamping down on the dilithium waste dumping that had until then been freely occuring on Avronis V. After treating the Last Chance's FO for severe wounds received on the surface, he is returned to his ship and the Columbia returns to Federation space.
