{{header|#708090|Mission Summary}}
While on the surface of the planet, Commander Greene and her team met with an informant who supplied them with regional military uniforms as well as information. Disguised as high-ranking local militia, Greene's team acted on a lead that the [[Paaran]] was hiding in a local military base. Once inside, however, they quickly learned that they had been set up (most likely by the Paaran himself) and a firefight ensued. Luck and training won out, and the team was able to escape, but not before the Paaran's son (or a look alike) was killed. Greene's team returned to Atlantis.

Simultaneously, Jamar's team was exploring Urlista Station, incognito. Disguised as merchants and tourists, they split up to search for the Paaran. One by one, however, they were incapacitated and captured. Apparently, they had also been set up.

Meanwhile, Commander Varaan and his team arrived at Lord Horatio Sonaris' personal apartments for a diplomatic dinner. During pre-diner conversation with Sonaris' family, however, political similarities between the Federation and the [[Species: Caraadian|Caraadians]] of the [[Par'tha Expanse]] caused the evening to sour. Varaan's team was asked to leave, which they did.

Not long after an explosion rocked Urlista Station. Lord Sonaris' apartments had been vapourized. His son, Hanar, had been absent at the time, and blamed ATLANTIS' crew for the death of his family. It was realized that Jamar's team was missing, and Commander Greene took it upon herself to mount a rescue mission, which was successful.

Mission Brief

Using information supplied by Mr. Dorlan, ATLANTIS is to travel to the busy trade world of Aelann in search of the Paaran. Commander Greene's Away team is to investigate the planet's surface, Lieutenant Commander Jamar's Away team is to investigate orbiting Urlista Station, and Commander Varaan is to lead a diplomatic envoy to establish friendly relations with the Freeworlds Council (see the Freeworlds Region).


Mission Summary

While on the surface of the planet, Commander Greene and her team met with an informant who supplied them with regional military uniforms as well as information. Disguised as high-ranking local militia, Greene's team acted on a lead that the Paaran was hiding in a local military base. Once inside, however, they quickly learned that they had been set up (most likely by the Paaran himself) and a firefight ensued. Luck and training won out, and the team was able to escape, but not before the Paaran's son (or a look alike) was killed. Greene's team returned to Atlantis.

Simultaneously, Jamar's team was exploring Urlista Station, incognito. Disguised as merchants and tourists, they split up to search for the Paaran. One by one, however, they were incapacitated and captured. Apparently, they had also been set up.

Meanwhile, Commander Varaan and his team arrived at Lord Horatio Sonaris' personal apartments for a diplomatic dinner. During pre-diner conversation with Sonaris' family, however, political similarities between the Federation and the Caraadians of the Par'tha Expanse caused the evening to sour. Varaan's team was asked to leave, which they did.

Not long after, an explosion rocked Urlista Station. Lord Sonaris' apartments had been vapourized. His son, Hanar, had been absent at the time, and blamed ATLANTIS' crew for the death of his family. It was realized that Jamar's team was missing, and Commander Greene took it upon herself to mount a rescue mission, which was successful.

An Illaran Investigation team from the Freeworlds government arrived on ATLANTIS to find incriminating or disincriminating proof of the crew's involvement in Lord Sonaris' death. Sensor information apparently turned the guilt towards the Paaran's organization, especially after Dorlan was found to be missing, and turned up dead on the station.

A diplomatic team from the Federation, aboard the USS Nowak, arrived in the Freeworlds Region to try to calm the situation and salvage any hope of diplomatic ties between the two governments. Consequently, ATLANTIS was ordered to return to Starbase 118 for reassignment.
