At an unknown location several hundred lightyears away from Starbase 118 there lies a planet called Tempest 3, where there exists a primitive pre-industrial civilization with technology at about the level of the Europeans on Earth in the 1500s CE. Tempest 3 has been marked as off limits to Starfleet vessels as visiting the planet would violate the prime directive. However Tempest 3 harbours a hidden secret: An Iconian gateway has lay dormant on the planet's surface for millennia.
Recently Tempestians (name for inhabitants of Tempest 3) have discovered the now re-activated Iconian gate and several have stepped through it. One of the worlds these primitive travelers have landed at is located in Thracian space. Now Tempestians often suffer from a disease that for them is about the equivalent of our common cold. But for the inhabitants of Lambda Hydrae, a planet in Thracian space, the disease is deadly, manifesting itself as a plague that is killing millions.
A Starfleet medical team arrives from Starbase 118 in an attempt to treat the plague. Soon after arriving they hear a rumour of strange alien visitors from the North. Going to investigate they soon come face to face with the Tempestians and realize that not only are they the cause of the plague but also that more of have been arriving in a steady trickle.
