A few months after the murder of Sten'stess, the use of illegal substances on Beta Renner went up by 10%, due to this unusual occurrence Crak'ssten was put on the job and with him Ssandon. Their first lead was a sample of the substance itself, it was a drug from Bolarus IV indicating some Bolian involvement (although this was not confirmed at the time.) Crak'ssten then sent Ssandon undercover to find a dealer of the drug. Due to the mass use and demand of the drug, finding a dealer was not difficult. The dealer Ssandon found was a Bolian called Yull; Yull introduced Ssandon to some of the other members of the dealership, all Bolain. They apparently wanted to recruit some Selay members to fit in with the 'natives.' Ssandon offered to help, but insisted he meet the operator. Yull reluctantly agreed and took Ssandon to an underground warehouse were the operator, a large Bolian named Skell, was dwelling and running the operation. Ssandon worked with the Bolians for six months, long enough to learn names, places, future operations and contacts. He then contacted Crak'ssten, who surrounded the underground base with SPF officers. Ssandon personally arrested Skell. This case gave Ssandon real experience into how criminal organisations worked and how criminals acted, valuable information that would prove useful in the future. | A few months after the murder of Sten'stess, the use of illegal substances on Beta Renner went up by 10%, due to this unusual occurrence Crak'ssten was put on the job and with him Ssandon.

After the exposure of Skell's drug cartel, interrogation revealed the name of contacts he bought key components from. One of these contacts was the Ferengi Drax, Skell told the interrogators that Drax sold weapons much cheaper than most sources, partly because he was operating without a business license. The last sighting of the Ferengi was on a shuttle off-world, the SPF sought permission from Starfleet Security to go after him and they accepted. Crak'ssten requested that the case be given to Ssandon because Drax was not a high priority target but would be a challenge to bring to justice, SPF officials agreed and Ssandon was sent... | After the exposure of Skell's drug cartel, interrogation revealed the name of contacts he bought key components from.

Crak'ssten requested that the case be given to Ssandon because Drax was not a high priority target but would be a challenge to bring to justice, SPF officials agreed and Ssandon was sent to Secarus III, the last know location of the Ferengi. It was here Ssandon's investigation began. The planet was largley uninhabited, and so it was not difficult to find the location of the small underground facility owned by Drax. After infiltration, it was revealed that Drax had left his hideout two weeks ago, as it was now abandoned. It did however leave a clue of where Drax was going. A shred of paper had been left on the table, with a message - written in Ferengi script - on it. Ssandon took the paper and returned to the nearest Federation starbase to have it deciphered. The message simply read "Hall of Warriors, Qo'nos." Ssandon assumed that, the meeting had already occurred, but headed to Qo'nos to continue his search for Drax. | ||
On arrival at Qo'nos, Ssandon had the Captain of the civilian transport scan the planet for Ferengi lifesigns, it was revealed there were sixty-four Ferengi on Qo'nos, two many to meet individually, nevertheless Ssandon beamed down to the planet to find out what Drax did. Unfortunately for Ssandon, the Dominion War, which was still a year from ending had increased the Security precautions throughout the Klingon Empire and so they didn't take kindly to a member of an obscure Federation Species snooping around. He prevailed and after a few pints of Bloodwine with the aging security captain (Captain Mek'lah),[[File:ToqSonofToran.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Toq, Son of Toran]] who had obviously ran security at the Hall of Warriors for a long time revealed a thread of information about Drax among his many stories of how he valiantly stopped young boys knocking over the revered statue of Kahless. Mek'lah revealed to Ssandon that Drax was talking to a factory owner named Toq, son of Toran. Ssandon tracked down Toq in order to confront him about Drax. It turned out Toq was the man the Klingon Government turned to, in order to produce the numerous Bat'Leth's and other weapons needed to win the war against the Dominion. He was also considered an dishonorable business man rather than warrior. Ssandon waited one month to get a meeting with Toq, and when he finally got a meeting with him, it went less than smoothly. Toq accused Ssandon of meddling in Klingon affairs and had him removed from his office, Ssandon persisted with his efforts for another two weeks and finally Toq gave in. He revealed that Drax was giving Toq hefty sums of latinum in order to acquire Kingon Disruptors, Toq accepted because he was normally obliged to produce weapons for the Empire, and only paid the bare minimum to cover the expenses, it was not enough to offer himself a life of luxury. Drax payed enough to offer that and so Toq dealt with him, no questions asked. He also revealed the Drax left Qo'nos two days before Ssandon arrived, but was due back in a week. And so Ssandon remained on Qo'nos, with a warrant to bring Drax back to Beta Renner for questioning (Something not mentioned to Toq). One week later Ssandon intercepted Drax before his meeting with Toq, the Selay had spent the week collecting as much evidence as he could about the Ferengi and now he was going to bring him in. Unfortunately, Drax resisted and ran to Toq, telling him the entire story. Toq naturally felt betrayed, as he had informed Ssandon out of misplaced trust. However Toq didn't want to get in trouble with the Federation or Klingon authorities and so readily handed over the Ferengi. Drax was not so ready to turn himself over and as he and Ssandon were preparing to leave on the transport, got off as it was leaving, boarding a different transport, that was heading to Gorn space whereas Ssandon was on his way back to the Federation... | |||
