Just before the ''Garuda'' departed DSX, though, it was approached unexpectedly by a Cardassian diplomatic shuttle with Detapa Council member [[Prianna]] and Federation Ambassador {{n|Lily|Ventu}} aboard, both of whom were welcomed politely but guardedly as both openly mentioned complicating agendas that extended beyond the first contact. Still, the trip to the [[Rho Aurigae system]] proceeded smoothly and without incident. | Just before the ''Garuda'' departed DSX, though, it was approached unexpectedly by a Cardassian diplomatic shuttle with Detapa Council member [[Prianna]] and Federation Ambassador {{n|Lily|Ventu}} aboard, both of whom were welcomed politely but guardedly as both openly mentioned complicating agendas that extended beyond the first contact.

The crew of the [[USS Garuda]] were all excited about being involved with a historic First Contact with the [[Kubarey]] race, but things did not go according to plan. Although apparently invited to the remote Kubarey outpost, initial contact could not be established with either the vessel in orbit or the planet. Captain {{n|Cassandra|Egan Manno}} took a diplomatic away team down to the planet’s surface to investigate, while her crew probed the other ship in greater detail. | The crew of the [[USS Garuda]] were all excited about being involved with a historic First Contact with the [[Kubarey]] race, but things did not go according to plan.

The away team inadvertently disturbed an ancient holy ceremony, greatly angering the Kubarey on the planet and triggering immediate reprisals. The Kubarey vessel, the ''Heart of Vahasamara'', deployed electronic warfare in the form of an uploaded virus, disabling the Garuda in less than ninety seconds. Boarding parties were then beamed over, and over a thousand crew and civilians were taken hostage, the Garuda firmly in the control of the alien species. The remaining senior crew resisted the boarders, and through cunning and force, were able to wrest control of their ship back. | The away team inadvertently disturbed an ancient holy ceremony, greatly angering the Kubarey on the planet and triggering immediate reprisals.

Fortunately sanity finally prevailed, and the Garuda was returned to Captain Egan Manno, and the entire crew, except the unfortunate Crewman Jones who died fighting the Kubarey, could return home to [[Deep Space 10]]. | Fortunately sanity finally prevailed, and the Garuda was returned to Captain Egan Manno, and the entire crew, except the unfortunate Crewman Jones who died fighting the Kubarey, could return home to [[Deep Space 10]]. | ||

The crew of the ''Garuda'' traveled to Zeta Equulei, a K-class star, to meet the two rival alien races of the [[Community]] and the [[Myr Luuk]]s. Both races were quite unusual in appearance. The Community were comprised of one collective consciousness, who used plant-like avatars to communicate with the Starfleet officers. Meanwhile, the Myr Luuks were giant furred centipede-like beings, whose chosen form of communication was to project holograms mimicking the ''Garuda'' crew members themselves. | |||
Upon arrival at the gas giant and orbiting moons, the crew of the | Upon arrival at the gas giant and orbiting moons, the crew of the ''Garuda'' realised that they had stumbled into a system engaged in a cold war, with the Community ships blockading the Myr Luuks. Wanting to not only mediate between the two races, but also investigate reports of some rare artifacts from the lost civilisation of the Ancient Alliance, Captain Egan Manno split her crew into three teams. She sent LtCmdr Calderan with the Saucer section of the ship to liaise with the Myr Luuks, and a team under FO Commander Ross down to the surface of Zeta Equulei 3 to talk to the representative of the Community, Bodhisattva. Meanwhile, Captain Egan Manno kept her remaining crew upon the Stardrive section of the Garuda, waiting to assist either of the Away Teams. However, whilst doing a system check, Chief Rahman and Ensign Rawlings discovered some damage and potential sabotage in engineering conduits of the Garuda. Soon after, strange disembodied voices started taunting the crew as the Stardrive section was pulled towards a 'void' in space, where many Myr Luuk and Community space ships were found drifting and derelict - a veritable ship's graveyard! | ||
