Operation Q-Ball
- Stardate 239711.30 to Present
As the USS Azetbur goes missing, and Rear Admiral Quinn Reynolds mysteriously disappears, the crew of the USS Gorkon take it on themselves to investigate her disappearance by heading into the seedy, underhanded world of the Orion Syndicate once more.
Location
Leisure District
- Ma no Umi: "A region of space... notable for extensive gravitational anomalies and plasma fields... severely affecting the range and effectiveness of sensors to the point where many ships are rendered near blind." Due to the limitations for ships and specific masking conditions, the region is a haven for pirate activity, and hosts an active Orion Syndicate presence and the Andorian arm of the syndicate, the Volna Viria.
- Kamarov Corridor: A safe passage route through the region, however, still with limitations caused by anomalies. Extreme caution is advised.
- Nassau: Large rogue asteroid within the Kamarov Corridor, and base for the Orion Syndicate.
- Service Zone: Administrative and service centre.
- Leisure District: Populated district for pirate activity and leisure pursuits, including the casino Mares de Oro.
- Residential District: Habitable sanctum deep within the asteroid.
- Burning Hole: A junkyard and breakers located near an eternal fire burning from a deep-rooted seam.
Notable Characters
In no particular order:
- Lucky Lervora: An Orion Dockmaster for the Orion Syndicate. Furiously loyal to the employer.
- Lollipops: Risian, real name Nysalea. A fixer and a broker for pirates who need or require connecting.
