A Federation registered starliner, the Red Star, disappeared while on a cruise between Bajor and Risa; this coincided with the incident that occurred at Fortuna III/Hercules Station. It was suspected that the vessel was seized by Tal Shiar forces to provide access to the Quantum Slip Stream Drive (QSSD) technology on-board as well as provide fresh victims for further genetic experimentation. The USS Thor and the USS Thunder to destroy the bio-weapons facility on Jorok Three, rescue the prisoners aboard the Red Star – now located on Thendara Two. The Red Star was also to be destroyed to ensure the Romulans no longer had access to the QSSD system aboard the vessel. All personnel were to evacuate to Federation space upon successful completion of the mission. | |||

Alex assumed the identity of a Romulan Tal Shiar officer – Major Vashall – an officer tasked with recovering restricted Federation technology. This confirmed Romulan involvement in the bio-weapon production. | |||
The Thor reached an orbital pattern over Thendara Two and transferred assault teams to the surface and aboard Red Star and were able to successfully rescue the prisoners aboard the Red Star and destroy the QSSD. Infected individuals were brought aboard the Thor and treated using a retro-active vaccine that had been synthesized en-route. | |||
Alex was promoted to Lieutenant Commander and Chief Counselor for his actions during this mission. | |||
