Farpoint Station has received word from Battle Group Alpha Twenty-One. They have reported engaging the enemy while attempting to defend the Kaanan system. Their attempt failed, and what is left of their group is retreating; however, they are heavily damaged and have numerous injured. Therefore, you are ordered to assist them.

Starfleet is keen for the battle group to make it back to the station so they are ready to take part in an upcoming assault. Therefore, it is down to the Valiant to provide them with the help they need so that once they arrive at the station, most of their damaged and injured are dealt with or are close to being back to operational fitness.
