Distant Star

Distant Star

Synopsis

The crew of the Gigerdian research vessel GFS Koff visit the station, and tell tales of encountering Timocracy ships on the edges of the Gamma and Delta Quadrants while being on a long survey in deep space. The various ambassadors discuss the Timocracy, and ponder their possible intentions. The Hemmoians also replace the station's older defence drones with an upgraded model. IHSF Obliterator also visits the station, and brings the new drones.

As The GFS Koff leaves the station to continue back to Gigerdian space, it experiences an engine failure of some sort and is pulled out of warp, and straight into an asteroid field. The surviving crew manage to send a distress signal, and a daring rescue is mounted. The crew is saved at the last minute, but sadly all the research material from the survey, especially concerning the Timocracy, is lost.
