After Atlantia is hit by an unknown weapon emerging from subspace, Captain Treylana Hess is forced to implement the Omega Directive and sets a course at maximum warp for a nearby M-class planet. When they reach their destination they discover it was home to a once advanced civilization who had been testing with omega particles. When it appears an explosion has gone off in one of their cities, Hess leads an away team down to the planet to beam the remaining particles back to her ship. When the harmonic resonance chamber fails to contain Omega, Hess is forced to open fire on the planet with gravimetric torpedoes instead. Successfully they destroy Omega, but leave the lifeless planet behind now ripped apart from their attack.
