Predators and Prey

With shoreleave behind them, the crew of the Sojourner heads for their next adventure: a survey of Shaddam IVa, a Class L moon that's positively covered in an as-yet unknown -- but potentially very useful -- alloy. Just as the survey begins, however, a foreign shuttlecraft comes crashing down to the surface. Aboard is Kaldri, a Kazon who's on the run from her own sect. Insisting that she is being persecuted unfairly, she asks Starfleet to protect her even as a Kazon warship arrives in orbit, threatening the Sojourner. Meanwhile, a number of obstacles try the planetary survey and support teams' mettle. From dust storms to deadly predators, the moon does not present a friendly face. If the teams are to solve the moon's mysteries and stay alive, they must think quickly and use every mean at their disposal.
