Its been a few weeks since Starbase Frontier opened its doors. The main galleria has become a center of trade and business as many new civilian shops and traders flock to the starbase. This has attracted attention from its neighbours, mainly the Tholian Assembly.

The Tholian's send a diplomatic party to Starbase Frontier to discuss possible trade and border agreements. However just as Captain Izumi and Commander Tormek are preparing for the meeting, the entire station goes into Quarantine Lockdown.
