Summary

A Federation archaeology team has uncovered something that will put your crew in grave danger.

Mission Text

Starfleet has lost contact with the Federation science station in the Kassae System in the Kassae Sector of the Regulus Sector Block.

Because all communications from Kassae II must be boosted by a satellite that compensates for metreon isotopes prevalent in the system, it may be that the communications array is in need of repair.

Please make the necessary repairs to the communications array and re-establish contact with the science station.

Goal

Proceed to the Kassae system in the Kassae Sector of the Beta Quadrant and re-establish communication with the Federation science station.

Notes

• The mission has been significantly reworked as part of the Season 8.5 update patch tied to the 4 Year Anniversary Event on January 30, 2014.
• This mission was reworked again for Season 15. Notably, Dr. Shian accompanies the player after meeting them, as opposed to beaming up to the ship. She gives a cultural background of the Gorn and their ancestral claims as the mission progresses.
