Notes

• This mission was remastered on April 17, 2021 with improved visual updates, bug fixes and mission objectives. Furthermore, Tiaru Jarok and the R.R.W. Lleiset has been added providing the opening briefing and joining players in the battle, replacing Subcommander Mivek and the R.R.W. M'sarr.
• This mission was added to the game as part of Season Seven: New Romulus.
• The ships the player had to rescue were originally T'varo, Mogai, D'deridex, and Scimitar-class vessels; as of the June 20, 2013 update these have been replaced by T'liss, Dhelan, Ha'apax, and Falchion-class Warbirds, respectively.
• Occasionally a bug will appear where a captured warbird will be destroyed in the crossfire between the players and the Tholians, but the tractor beams and icon will remain.
• The second Free Ten Points Worth of Ships optional activates around 1 minute and 30 seconds after the first one finishes.
