Once the ''<nowiki/>'Oumuamua'' returned to Earth for its planned upgrades and refit, Iljor reported to Starfleet Command for the Bridge Officer Exam, the final test of the Command Training Program. Overseen by Commander [[Lia Rouiancet]], and accompanied by Lieutenants Avander Promontory and [[Jack Kessler]], Etan passed the exam which saw him dealing with an attack on two ''California''-class vessels by [[Acamarian]] Gatherers and negotiating with a representative of the [[Talarian Republic]]. During shore leave, he made plans to visit Stonehenge and also joined Lieutenant [[Toxin Arlill]] in researching spatial trajectory technology. At a ceremony to celebrate and recognise the achievements of the ''<nowiki/>'Oumuamua'' crew, Iljor was formally promoted to Commander and assigned as the ship's First Officer, succeeding Lieutenant Colonel [[Wes Greaves]] who was recalled to Earth to lead a Starfleet Marine combat battalion. Shortly after his promotion, a representative of Starfleet Humanoid Resources, Lt. Commander Faakand jav Klaaf, boarded the ''<nowiki/>'Oumuamua'' to investigate an accident involving newly assigned Ensign [[Josh Herrick]]. When it became clear that Klaaf was simply investigating the situation to cause trouble for starship crews (he himself bitter than he had never served on one), Etan ordered him off the ship and threatened to file a complaint with the Tellarite's superiors. Although Klaaf complied, Iljor suspected that he had not seen the last of the administrative officer.

Upon returning to the Gamma with the newly appointed Exploratory Taskforce, the ''<nowiki/>'Oumuamua'' responded to a distress call from a pre-warp civilisation, the Esh-o, who had made first contact with the United Dominion of Planets. Investigating, the crew discovered that an unexplained micro nebula in the system that was disrupting their home star system. Iljor was assigned to lead a small team aboard the shuttlecraft ''Nichols'' to chart a course towards the centre of the phenomenon, which was putting out a significant amount of radio signals. On the team were the newly assigned Lieutenant Anton Richards and Ensigns Dahlquist and Tyber. Shortly after departure, the away team began to experience strange surges emotions that appeared to be coming from the nebula. The shuttle was caught up in a strange ‘bubble’ that appeared to be taking them to the phenomenon’s centre. Rescued by an Esh-O ship, the shuttle returned to the ''‘Oumuamua'' after Ensign Dahlquist collapsed and the emotional outbursts became more pronounced.

A short time later (once a defence against the emotional effects had been devised), Iljor was dispatched to ''Yansamin Anchorage''- a non-aligned space port at the very edge of the Esh-O system- to investigate rumours that [[Zet]] agents were attempting to force the native species from the station. Joining him were [[Katsim Peri]], [[Toxin Arlill]] and Ensign Tyber. Within minutes they met the ''Oumuamua''’s former First Officer, [[Roger Hartmann]], who was operating independently, and Nanjjii- an Boslic who seemingly owned a bar, and who helped them to avoid station security and pointed them in the direction of an information broker known as “Jenklar”. After traversing the station’s service tunnels and almost running afoul of Zet agents near a food court, the away team made it to The Exchange, a commercial sector, where they once again met Nanjjii- who revealed herself as Nanjjii and that her bar was merely a front for her information brokering. She revealed that the Zet were indeed on the station, but they were in the employ of a third part, whose identity remained unknown to her. Shortly after this revelation, her compound is bombed and a fearsome avian creature is loosed up on them. The away team (now including Hartmann and Nanjjii) narrowly escape with their lives, utilising a small shuttle owned by the Boslic. They fled from ''Yansamin Anchorage,'' but were pursued by Zet interceptors. After Ensign Tyber took out one of the interceptors (crippling the shuttle in the process), the away team made for a “Stellar Veil” to avoid further detection. Iljor and his team eventually made it back to the ''Oumuamua'' and he was present to witness the disappearance of the nebula phenomena.

*Iljor did not consider himself well versed in temporal mechanics, having barely scraped a passing grade at the Academy.
