Titan are carrying out StarfleetтАЩs renewed commitment to deep space exploration. While continuing to search the Beta QuadrantтАЩs unknown expanses for an ancient civilizationтАЩs long-lost quick-terraforming technologyтАФ a potential boon to many Borg-ravaged worlds across the Federation and beyondтАФTitanтАЩs science specialists encounter the planet TaтАЩith, home to the remnant of a once-great society that may hold the very secrets they seek.

And one of those AndoriansтАФLieutenant Pava EkтАЩNoor shтАЩAqabaтАФhas just uncovered a terrible danger, which has been hiding in plain sight for more than two centuries. . . .
