The passage of a new year into 2396 on the Earth calendar would have gone unchecked except for an unprovoked attack upon the {{USS|Columbia}}. While the ship is completing a visit to [[Dehner Base]] on [[Delta Vega I]], an unknown assailant appears near the second planet and quickly fires upon the starship. Quick responses from the crew throw the ship into a heavy space battle. The ship's impulse engines are quickly disabled. The crew implements a plan by [[Jona ch'Ranni|Ensign ch'Ranni]] to fire an ''ionized nadion pulse'' from the main deflector at the assailant to disrupt their sensors. [[Pholin Duyzer|Lieutenant JG Duyzer]] suggests a plan to launch a probe to boost the Columbia's own sensors while providing for communication with the enemy vessel. After the failure of the ship's shields, boarding parties beam to the Columbia. [[Graciela Solis|Lieutenant Commander Solis]] and [[Jona ch'Ranni|Ensign ch'Ranni]] encounter a group of hostiles in Deflector Control while [[Jarred Thoran|Commander Thoran]], [[Rune Jolara|Lieutenant Commander Jolara]] and [[Tommy Gottci|Ensign Gottci]] head to Main Engineering in response to reports of another boarding party. | The passage of a new year into 2396 on the Earth calendar would have gone unchecked except for an unprovoked attack upon the {{USS|Columbia}}.

They had been covertly observing the construction of the new base and are searching for mysterious artifacts recovered from a nearby archeological dig.
