Interfering in the sovereign affairs of its member worlds has never been Starfleet policy; however on this occasion, the [[Zakdorn]] Stratigo himself saw the need to involve the crew of the [[USS Vigilant|Vigilant]] in the tactical game of cat and mouse that was unfolding on his planet's political stage.

While Captain Diego Herrera led a diplomatic party to the [[Zakdorn]] Assembly building in the capital of Prak Zel, his first officer, Lieutenant Commander [[Handley-Page, Leo|Leo Handley-Page]] was ordered to investigate suspicions that [[Klingon]] operatives were influencing the [[Zakdorn]] dissident movement from afar. In order to safeguard the [[USS Vigilant|Vigilant]]'s completion, Lieutenant Commander [[Eerie]], Chief of Tactical and Security, led a team to escort a shipment of deuterium that was due to be loaded aboard the Intrepid-class vessel to power its engines. | ||

Attempting to think more like his strategic adversaries, Captain Herrera ordered that all [[Zakdorn]] personnel in the shipyard be restricted from accessing the [[USS Vigilant|Vigilant]], passing responsibility for her completion to Chief Engineer, Lieutenant (j.g.) [[Thomas, Kael|Kael Thomas]]. Following exhaustive planning, the captain and Chief Counsellor, Lieutenant Commander Greir Reinard left for the capital to make presentations to the [[Zakdorn]] Assembly and general public respectively. Acting on suspicions that a cloaked Bird-of-Prey might be located in a warehouse building in Prak Zel, and tracing a communiqué that seemed to have originated from the StratEcon building on the Assembly grounds, Commander [[Handley-Page, Leo|Leo Handley-Page]] once again led a team to expose [[Klingon]] subterfuge. | ||

Meanwhile, Engineering Officer Ensign [[Dueld taJoot]] was able to use a device that had been planted on the warehouse-bound Bird-of-Prey to forcibly decloak it, monitored on a viewscreen by the audience of the public address and millions more who had tuned in to the broadcast from their homes. As Dalal beamed away, she initiated an escape attempt that led to the [[USS Vigilant|Vigilant]]'s launch. | ||

"Heart is what drives us and determines our fate."
For the Zakdorn people, these were dangerous times. Even as construction of the newly-commissioned USS Vigilant neared completion in the Grelesev shipyards, discontent bubbled beneath the surface of Zakdorn society. Following in the aftermath of the Klingon invasions into Romulan space, a dissident political movement had been gathering momentum, threatening to sway public opinion into backing Zakdorn IV's secession from the United Federation of Planets in favour of an alliance with the Klingon Empire.
