The transport ship SS October has been compromised by a Gorn Hatchery mid transport. The USS Dragon has been dispatched to locate and secure precious scientific cargo onboard designed to help uncover the mystery of the wildfire phenomenon. However, the KDF Koraga has been dispatched to the same area with a no-quarter kill order to destroy the transport to prevent the Gorn from seeding a new world. Conflicting methodology collide as the Dragon races to secure the transport before the Klingons can destroy it, without sparking a new inter-galactic incident.
