- Pandora Station.
- Near and in orbit of planet Tui Malila, in the Gamma Quadrant.
Summary:
- 2393.05.24:
Captain Torn and his team managed to take back the Atlantis, allowing the Birnam to stand down. The Lysians had been saved from the Satarrans once again.
- 2393.05.25:
Together, the Birnam and the Atlantis left the Lysian system and set course for Pandora Station. It would take them two weeks to reach the station.
- 2393.05.26:
Only days after the Atlantis and the Birnam saved the Lysian Central Command, Lieutenant Rofellian, former STC of the Atlantis, found himself serving on board the USS Indiana, where he was informed that he would be transferred back to the Atlantis again.
- 2393.06.08:
Having arrived at Pandora Station, Captain Torn and Commander Velden were called to Captain Kane's office. Kane told them that the Satarrans, who had tried to take over the Atlantis and the Birnam, had tried again: this time they had taken over a Romulan ship... And this time they did succeed in destroying the Lysian Central Command.
- 2393.12.06:
While on a survey mission in the Gamma Quadrant, the Atlantis received orders to mediate in a dispute taking place on Tui Malila, a nearby, recently formed Federation colony. The world is populated by environmentalist colonists, who wish to preserve the planet's beautiful, untouched landscapes, while a group of miners wish to start extracting Bakrinium from an area of wetlands. The environmentalists wouldn't allow the miners to drain the swamp, but the miners didn't want to run behind schedule. And so the Atlantis was called in.
Sol Dreckman, the leader of the miners, turned out to be under the impression that the Atlantis was there to remove the environmentalists. He wasn't exactly friendly, but at least the Atlantis got to contact him. The colonists were a little harder to contact. To prevent being beamed out of the wetlands by the miners, they had erected a scattering field which made it impossible to communicate with them. Atlantis officers are now working on a way to allow a subspace signal to penetrate the field, using either a modified probe or a shuttlecraft to act as a relay station for the Atlantis' signal to the colonists.
The colonists, meanwhile, had detected the Atlantis in orbit and were not happy about it. They believed Starfleet to side with the miners. It seems that even before the Atlantis is able to contact both parties, the situation is already growing rapidly out of hand. Captain Torn, Ambassador Von Klinkerhoffen and the entire Atlantis crew will have to try their best to prevent the dispute from escalating... But with two diametrically opposed and very stubborn groups, is that even possible?
