After the Sovereign crossed through the Barzan Wormhole with the rest of the fleet, she was tasked to head deeper into the Gardin Belt region. As she was en route, the crew received word from a merchant ship that an Orion Syndicate group was going around enslaving populations and forcing them to mine this new dilithium with little regard to safety or health. People have already died to this group’s greed. The merchant ship gave the Sovereign a location of where the Orions will be next and how long they will be there. The Sovereign kicks it up to warp nine, which will take her four days to reach the system. The only problem is, on the way there, they come across a Hirogen Pack that happens to find the Sovereign to be worthy prey and later on, a Devore Battlecruiser that is practically identical in strength to the Sovereign has demanded that the Sovereign came to a halt for an immediate inspection. Can the crew of the Sovereign reach the colony in time to eliminate the Orion threat to the Gardin Belt? Or would she succumb to being prey to the Hirogen? Or would she wind up impounded by the Devore? Tune in!
