** With the arrival of six new prototype fighter and a squad of marines, the crew of the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' sets off to an remote star system with an indigenous, reportedly pre-warp, civilization to work out some of the fighters' kinks while hidden by the system's asteroid field. Just as the tests get underway, the "pre-warp" civilization successfully completes it's first warp flight, accidentally resulting in a massive subspace shockwave that cripples all three active fighters plus their escorts and concurrently knocks out many of the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]] | ** With the arrival of six new prototype fighter and a squad of marines, the crew of the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' sets off to an remote star system with an indigenous, reportedly pre-warp, civilization to work out some of the fighters' kinks while hidden by the system's asteroid field. Just as the tests get underway, the "pre-warp" civilization successfully completes it's first warp flight, accidentally resulting in a massive subspace shockwave that cripples all three active fighters plus their escorts and concurrently knocks out many of the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin']]''s major systems. Senedipitously, the shockwave knocked out the AI-driven prototype "Gremlin" fighter just as it is about to destroy Lt. J.G. Kolk's prototype "Hammerhead." As the ship struggles to recover the downed fighters, their escorts, its malfunctioning systems, and perhaps a bit of its dignity, the crew also carefully conducts first contact with the locals, the [[Sya-Negan[[. As if the situation weren't complicated enough, a renegade from the alternate universe discovered in the crew's last mission, "Evil" Jackford B. Kolk (no-longer a Starfleet officer in any universe), escapes from the bridge and terrorizes the crew in a deranged quest for revenge on Lt. Cmdr. [[Wilde, Danny|Danny Wilde]]. The crew eventually re-captures "Evil Kolk," placing him in stasis and his stasis chamber behind a force-field in the brig, but not before he seriously wounds [[Wilde, Danny|Wilde]], leaving him in a coma, and makes contact with a mysterious emotion-affecting lifeform that eludes capture or reasoned contact with the crew. | ||

** When a small team of Cardassians infiltrate the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' while most of the crew are at a celebration on [[Deep Space 17]], the ship scrambles to chase them down while undoing the damage and possible espionage the assault team inflicted. Just moments after the ship jumps to warp, the engines fail and Commander Mar is forced to send a runabout and two fighter squadrons out ahead. This leaves Lt. J.G. Kolk in charge of Engineering, which pleases him to no end. Once the engines are repaired and elusive Spathis dealt with (if only to a small extent), the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' gets on its way again. After running into a Keldon class Cardassian warship and leaving them licking their wounds, the ship again hurries off to catch up with the fighter group who've all but been wiped out except for the runabout ''USS Cedar'' which crash landed on a moon being orbited by a Galor class warship. before the Galor can hunt the crashed runabout down, an ion storm moves into the system. The ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' swoops in, uses some sensor buoys to find the downed ''Cedar'' and crew while also sending false sensor readings to the Cardassians and their mercenary friends. The sensor ghosts allow the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' to fly one of the mercenary ships into the rear of the Galor, weakening it. Then, just before the Keldon limps into the system, the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' fires on the Galor to preempt an attack, but it unexpectedly leads to a cascade that destroys the ship. When the Keldon arrives, they accuse the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' of intensionally destroying a Cardassian ship and promise to tell their government what happened here. Commander Mar informs the Cardassian Gul that it was an accident which happened in self-defense and promises to tell Starfleet the same. The Keldon flies off, and the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' hires the rest of the mercenaries to help them retrieve their crew and clean up the mess. | ** When a small team of Cardassians infiltrate the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' while most of the crew are at a celebration on [[Deep Space 17]], the ship scrambles to chase them down while undoing the damage and possible espionage the assault team inflicted.

** A routine mission to the Gorn border ceases to be routine when Lt. J.G. [[Valis]] picks up unusual subspace oscillations on the Gorn side of the border and shortly thereafter sensors pick up Gorn ships set to intercept an FTU convoy in Federations space. Captain [[Mar, Idril|Mar]] decides to take a pair of runabouts to investigate the subspace disturbance while Lt. Cmdr. [[Walker, Benjamin J.|Walker]] takes the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' to prevent an interstellar incident. The subspace oscillations turn out to be a crude lighthouse transmitted from a remote system populated by cutthroats and thieves.

[[Valis]] picks up unusual subspace oscillations on the Gorn side of the border and shortly thereafter sensors pick up Gorn ships set to intercept an FTU convoy in Federations space. Captain [[Mar, Idril|Mar]] decides to take a pair of runabouts to investigate the subspace disturbance while Lt. Cmdr. [[Walker, Benjamin J.|Walker]] takes the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' to prevent an interstellar incident. The subspace oscillations turn out to be a crude lighthouse transmitted from a remote system populated by cutthroats and thieves. The arrival of the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin']]''s officers and Marines provide an opportunity to kill an old rival and destroy the small space station that the pirate, Captain Antilles, can't pass up. While the encounter is short and leaves the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' crew relatively unscathed, it also gives a reluctant pirate, [[Devereaux, Alandra|Alandra Devereaux]] a chance to seek assylum with the Starfleet crew and start a new life. Meanwhile, the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' arrives just as hostilities are beginning and places itself between the two fleets. As the crew begin to investigate the cause of the hostilities, sensors detect a transient presence flitting unpredictably around the battleground. Thanks to empathic and telepathic members of the crew, it becomes clear that the unknown presence is an alien ship from a hostility-centric species known as the [[K'nl'got'he]]. Shortly before a diplomatic conference with the Gorn, Lt. Cmdr. [[Walker, Benjamin J.|Walker]] orders the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' to fire on the small alien craft, while a small security force boards one of the FTU freighters to gather samples of the Gorn eggs they're carrying. At the conference aboard the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'', the crew presents their evidence and proves to them that both sides were manipulated by the [[K'nl'got'he]] into fighting each other, and the Gorn agree to leave the convoy be and return to Gorn territory. | ||

** | ** When the ''[[USS Ronin]]'' rendezvouses with the ''[[USS Independence-A|USS Independence]]'' and ''[[USS Ursa Major]]'' at [[Wheeler Colony]], a diplomatic mission to the surface is cut short by a wormhole that momentarily disrupts all power on the three ships and draws them to the far edge of the galaxy, directly adjacent to the Galactic Barrier, leaving the First Officers in charge. Tragically, when the power fails on the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'', the Flight Deck door happens to be open and nearly everyone on the Deck is blown out into open space. When the casualties are all counted, 27 are found dead from explosive decompression. Before the crew can mourn, however, the ''[[USS Independence-A|Independence]]'' reports an intruder and two alien fleets appear on sensors. One fleet warns the Starfleet ships that they may have a hostile alien on board. The other informs them that they believe the Federation ships have "the One" on board. Each of the Starfleet ships have severe damages due to their trip through the wormhole, so the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' deploys all of it's fighters to screen the wounded starships from the incoming flotillas. Before the flotilla's arrive, however, the blue non-corporeal being, who injures itself repairing some of the ''[[USS Independence-A|Independence']]''s problems, gets a power transfusion from the ''[[USS Independence-A|Indy']]''s warp core and undergoes a transfiguration. At the same time, those left behind on [[Wheeler Colony|Wheeler]] reconstruct the activation of the wormhole and re-open it, sending a communications probe through to contact the lost ships. As soon as they realize the gate has re-opened, all three First Officers order their ships through, the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin']]''s fighters and shuttlecraft leading the way. En-route, one of the ships, a prototype left over from the [[Sya-Negan]] mission explodes due to faulty construction, killing the pilot. His is the first death of an officer directly under Lt. Kolk's command. | ||
