Searching for the Lost

Repairs have been completed after the Altai's deadly first contact with the Qlo'ka and Glurone. The ship still has some unfilled billets, including some permanent senior staff positions.

Despite the shortage of crew, Starfleet orders the Altai to proceed to the Alpha Remidian system to investigate the disappearance of a planetary survey team. The team, a mix of Starfleet and civilian specialists, were in the Alpha Remidian system cataloging planets for possible Federation colonization efforts. The team was last due to report in two weeks ago. A first attempt to locate the team was abandoned when the ship assigned was struck by a system cascade failure, resulted in the ship being towed to a nearby starbase.
