Mission Synopsis


The Planet Hemix
Hemix' Mysterious Island
Chennel, Bolian Pirate operating on Hemix
Akee, spirit living on Hemix

On the fringe of Operation 'Knife Point' being launched by the Fleet, the USS Columbia is sent to Hemix, a planet in the Skalur expanse (near the Zelia Gatis region), for a scientific and observation mission.

Three years go, when the Romulan Republic studied Hemix, it was completely barren. Yet when Starfleet performed a survey of this planet earlier this year, it discovered a lush island, thriving with animal and plant life. An away team, led by LtCmdr. Rennyn, will be studying the planet strange ecosystem.

The USS Columbia secondary objective will be to confirm that there is no presence of a shadow organization called Sicarius or anything else that may hamper Knife point's mission. A combat orientated team, led by LtCmdr. Kelly will be in charge of this aspect of the mission.

After a 17 days journey, Columbia, piloted by Ensign Flynn, reaches planet Hemix. Following a plan set by Didrik Stennes, three Class III probes are launched into orbit around Hemix and configured so that they can transmit telemetry to Columbia and to the away teams.

While LtCmdr. Breeman and Ensign Beyett select the best site for the scientific team, LtCmdr. Kelly's team beamed to the planet's surface, equipped with EVA suits specially designed by Dr. MacLaren. As soon as they materialized, Lt. Whittaker discovered a weird energy field, whose nature appears to be both natural and artificial.

Elsewhere on the planet, Chennel, a Bolian pirate who operates on a ship called the 'Lightness of Being', has noticed the arrival of Columbia. After hiding her ship in a high polar orbit, Chennel decided to send a squad of fighters to the planet, which she will lead.

Also present on the planet is an ethereal spirit called Akee, who can control insects and who doesn't hesitate to kill what it perceives to be dangerous.

On Columbia, while the crew continues to make preparations for the Hemix' expeditions, a changeling called Que, working for the Sicarians, has taken the appearance of Crewman 2nd Class Thompson, and she mixes with a group of engineers.
