{{LCARS-bar-heading|Mission to Duronis System|10|COLOR=DarkRed}}

Shortly prior to SD 23930704, Zhao was diverted to Argelius II to transport the planet’s minister of security, Varaal, a Vulcan whom she had met previously, to the [[Embassy of Duronis II]]. Only Zhao was completely briefed regarding their mission to collect the rescued patient who had been designated as Kaumari. While Varaal had briefed her on various outcomes of the mission, a worse case scenario occurred when the Ashoka encountered five hostile Orion vessels before reaching the Duronis system. Preparing for the worse, Zhao sent a short coded message to Admiral Turner asking for assistance. Thanks to Zhao’s tactics, the Ashoka destroyed the first two vessels. Unfortunately, she was not as successful with the last three. The Ashoka suffered heavy damage after which an Orion boarding party tried to commandeer the vessel. After the final Orion vessel retreated, Zhao was attempting to assess damage and casualties when an unknown vessel decloaked. Shortly thereafter, Zhao lost consciousness. When the [[USS Thunder]] arrived at the Ashoka, Zhao, along with Varaal and her surviving crew, were found to be missing. As the Ashoka was severely damaged and the Embassy under threat, the Ashoka was ceremonially destroyed to prevent its capture by Orions or other parties.
