<br>Whilst [[Canopus Station]] dig’s in to fortify its tenuous position, Commander Ritter and the crew of the USS Resolute venture out in pursuit of the crew kidnapped by the alien slaver Gastarox. They are tracked to a strange place, a tormented neutron star held within the cage like arms of a [[Prior]] machine. This machine seems either to be the cause or cure for a pocket of ‘tortured space’ that wraps around the star, where whispers and promises of great power attempt to lure the unwary into crossing over.

<br>Within this pocket of space, clinging to the spars of the bone white cage of the neutron star, a place called [[The Mire]], is a facility known as The Sleepers Bazaar. Owned and operated by the macabre biomechanical entity called the [[Harbour Master]], the crew of the Resolute are drawn into the sadistic pit of villainy to bid on the lives of their crewmates. There they come face to face with the charming but ruthless Myriad, as well as take the measure of [[the Concordance]] whom they have only met through their deeds. The former control the lives of billions, whilst the latter have sterilised whole planets in a mad crusade.

Instead, they are to transport four Class Four Industrial Replicators to the surface of Carpathia, the desert moon colony Canopus Station orbits, [[Carpathia]].

Having rescued the crew from the clutches of the Harbour Master, and faced off with the military might of the Concordance, the crew return to a station bloodied by battle. But no sooner have they returned than the crew are on their way once more. But not too far-flung nightmares in Messier 4.

Instead, they are to transport four Class Four Industrial Replicators to the surface of Carpathia, the desert moon colony Canopus Station orbits, Carpathia. These replicators will help the colony set up habitation and infrastructure, and go some distance in repairing the damage caused by Starfleet’s hand in the colonies fiery founding.

But during the arrival, the Colony Coordiaintor is warned by a man calling himself Pallas Cant to recall old debts made to the Freedom’s Legion, an anti-Federation group now transplanted to the new stars of Messier 4. Is the crew walking into a trap, or is the colony town of Landersfall really a port in the storm?
