Having narrowly avoided a full scale armed confrontation with the Tholian Assembly, the Veritas is on its way back to Federation space when the ships computers become unresponsive. What at first seems like a minor nuisance quickly turns into a full blown catastrophe as systems across the ship reconfigure themselves and leverage the navigational deflector to fire an energy pulse at an uncharted moon, wrapping it in an enormous self-sustaining temporal anomaly. The Vertias almost immediately consumes all of its stored deuterium and the ship quickly becomes inert. In an effort to protect the lives of her crew, Captain Rahman orders them to abandon the Veritas but, due to their close proxmity to the anomaly, the pods and shuttles used by the crew are themselves drained of fuel and crash to the surface of the moon, spread over hundreds of kilometers across a large tropical island. Numerous crew members are injured and almost a dozen are killed in the course of the evacuation and subsequent crash. | Having narrowly avoided a full scale armed confrontation with the Tholian Assembly, the Veritas is on its way back to Federation space when the ships computers become unresponsive.

Taking stock after the landing, an encampment forms around the wreckage of the medical shuttle as the crew attempts to gather and begin the work of survival on this primitive tropical paradise. The majority of the senior officers, including Captain Rahman, First Officer Commander Evan Delano, Lieutenant Commander Raissa Moonsong, Security Chief Sky Blake, newly assigned Ships Counselor Jansen Orrey, Search and Rescue Team Leader Kelrod, along with Security officer Ensign G'var and Engineers Wil Uknix and Acting Chief Engineer Geoffrey Teller begin to call the camp the 'New Risa Resort & Spa.' In addition, Mistress IA, a captured Orion Pirate, rounds out the population of this main encampment. | Taking stock after the landing, an encampment forms around the wreckage of the medical shuttle as the crew attempts to gather and begin the work of survival on this primitive tropical paradise.

Days turn to weeks as the crew struggle with the basics of survival without significant technology. Agriculture and irrigation projects become the focus along with further development of the camps structures to provide shelter against the punishing sun and heat. As supplies run low, tensions flair in the camp as the situation for the crew seems to offer no chance of escape or rescue. | Days turn to weeks as the crew struggle with the basics of survival without significant technology.
