On the outskirts of the Velorum Sector lies the now unknown and insignificant mining facility of Ketalos 3.  For decades, Ketalos has provided needed resources for the Romulan Star Empire.  However, they have become obsolete in recent years due to advances in mining technology.  With tensions mounting within the Empire, Ketalos has fallen by the wayside, unable to defend herself from increased pirate activity.  Pirates hoping to capitalize on the chaos within the Empire have taken advantage of Ketalos’ defenses, and now it falls on the Galileo to aid the Fourth Fleet in the Velorum Sector.
