Etan Iljor: Difference between revisions

[[File:Briarpatch.jpg|left|thumb|350px|The Briar Patch]]Shortly after Iljor's promotion, the ''Resolution'' was assigned to investigate the disappearance of a Federation science vessel in the [[Briar Patch]]. Iljor was first assigned to discover all he could about the region and the potential hazards that the Resolution might have faced. He later briefed Mission Specialist [[Tai Ilsam]], Commander MacKenzie and Fleet Captain Nicholotti. He manned the science station when the [[Resolution]] discovered a rogue planet within the Patch before it was assaulted by a gravimetric energy wave and hundreds upon thousands of rocks. The ship crashed onto the surface of the planet, but he was uninjured. Captain Nicholotti then assigned him to an away team to scout the area, where they eventually came upon survivors of the doomed ''U.S.S. Hanno'' and two Romulan vessels that had also gone missing in the region. The away team discovered that the planet was inhabited by non-corporeal aliens known as the Skarn who were oppressed by their leader, Arbelo. Taken to meet them, Arbelo accused the away team of attempting to steal the source of their power- stones that Iljor hypothesised might act some kind of telepathic resonator or amplifier, allowing Arbelo to exert his powers over a vast area (including beyond the limitations of their homeworld and thus causing the ''Resolution'', the ''Hanno'' and the two Romulan vessels to crash upon the planet's surface). Iljor survived Lieutenant Sherlock's explosive solution to the situation and befriended one of the survivors of the Hanno. He was also present when Ferdzy, an elderly Romulan survivors, disembarked to live out the remainder of his years with the Skarn. (''[[Stranded (Resolution)|Resolution: Stranded]]'')
