Mission Text

Neman has decrypted the coordinates for the New Link. They designate a location in the Alpha quadrant, in the Orias System.

This changeling named Laas has deceived the other Changelings in his link into thinking we are exterminating them, and that we massacred the Gamma quadrant Changelings as well. You must have Neman help you convince them of the truth.

Notes

• Fourth mission of the revamped Cardassian Struggle episode arc released with Season Eleven: New Dawn.
• The Changeling "Laas" is seen in this mission for his background go to this "link :)" --> http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Chimera_(episode)
• The warning beacon placement has to be very precise. In the general direction of where your ship's pointing after beaming up from the planet, you should see a slowly blinking light. Fly upwards to that. You might be given the option to place the beacon early, but fail every time. If that happens, keep flying towards it.
