CHAPTER 9

Though armed with an alien intruder in their custody and the sightings of a bizarre-looking star cruiser, the truth of what has happened remains elusive.

Suspicions rise as both sides summon reinforcements to the area. Star Destroyers, like daggers, are brought to bear to defend the Imperials, as the Federation assembles a defensive task force to do the same.

CHAPTER 11

CHAPTER 17

Reviews

Tasked with extracting information from the Federation captives, Dark Korriban tortures the remaining members of the away team. Though force of will and StarFleet training is enough to keep the senior officers from betraying the details of their mission, will the same apply for all the captives?

CHAPTER 18

The grinding wheel of negotiation is set in motion, and the two sides finally meet at the table of diplomacy rather than the field of battle. But it is no easy discussion, as the pain of lost lives and suspicion of ulterior motives remains very much alive.

CHAPTER 19

CHAPTER 20
