| Season One |
Act One
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 was completing a visit to Dehner Base on Delta Vega I, an unknown assailant appeared near the second planet and quickly fired upon the starship. Quick responses from the crew threw the ship into a heavy space battle. The ship's impulse engines were quickly disabled. The crew implemented a plan by Ensign ch'Ranni to fire an ionized nadion pulse from the main deflector at the assailant to disrupt their sensors. Lieutenant JG Duyzer suggested 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 beamed to the Columbia. Lieutenant Commander Solis and Ensign ch'Ranni encountered a group of hostiles in Deflector Control while Commander Thoran, Lieutenant Commander Jolara and Ensign Gottci head to Main Engineering in response to reports of another boarding party.
Meanwhile, members of the crew from the attacking ship, the Eildyr, beamed to Dehner Base. They had been covertly observing the construction of the new base and were searching for mysterious artifacts recovered from a nearby archeological dig. The discovery of these artifacts by Professor Olivia Sellard's team was intentionally hidden from the Columbia's crew. The attackers retrieve the artifacts and beam away to their waiting ship.
Act Two
Upon returning to the Eildyr with his spoils, the Losarian Captain Kaironn contacts the Columbia to try to talk his way to safety. He portrays himself as caught in a big misunderstanding. Lieutenant Commander Ezo, Ambassador Kalianna Nicholotti, and Ensign Hol begin a conversation with the outwardly cooperative Kaironn. Meanwhile, Captain Whittaker and Lieutenant JG Duyzer attempt to communicate with the personnel on Dehner Base in the conference room by using the probe launched earlier. The thieves abscond with the stolen goods when they discover that the Columbia is in contact with the base and their ruse has failed. The Eildyr engages emergency warp and heads for the Spiral Nebula to wait and make repairs. Can the Columbia recover and give chase?
Act Three
Professor Jev Crim Glev reveals that the relics stolen from Dehner Base are of Tkon origin, an ancient and powerful civilization that died out more than 600,000 years ago. The priceless artifacts could be very dangerous in the wrong hands.
Commanders Tatash and Ezo interrogate some of the captured boarders and slowly uncover details of Kaironn's plan. Lieutenant Duyzer and Ensign ch'Ranni are tasked with finding the likely position of the foe. In the Astrometrics Lab they use sensor data to follow the path of the Eildyr to a Class 9 Nebula. Commander Walker, despite injuries, is able to make repairs and get the impulse engines patched in record time. Unfortunately, she is exposed to a radiation stream in the impulse manifold and must be transported to the Biohazard Ward for treatment.
With the ship repaired enough to give chase, the order is given to head for the dangerous nebula. Commander Thoran, Lieutenant Danni James, Ensign ch'Ranni, and Ensign James Colquhoun are tasked with finding a tactical advantage in the coming fight. Commander MacKenna, Solis, Jolara and Lieutenant Duyzer are instructed to learn all they can about the enigmatic Tkon Empire. Is the Columbia headed to another dangerous showdown?
