Kris:
Deep space sensor beacons have identified that the three alien fleets are proceeding on a course out of the Beta Quadrant.  Direct confrontation with them should be avoided but their path is due to intercept the colony on Darvan II within the next hour.

Kris:
You are ordered to proceed to the area immediately to assume defensive posture or assist in a rescue/evacuation mission for the colony.  Several other Federation ships should also arrive at the location within the hour.

Kris:
STATUS:  The U.S.S. Ganymede is 5 minutes away from orbit of Darvan II.  The U.S.S. bec de Corbins and the U.S.S. Deimos have already arrived and are scanning the approaching alien fleets.
